Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

They say you should only say good things about dead people. He's dead. Good.

At least some good news made up for the loss of Bob Newhart.

“He understood the World, and what was ‘happening,’ better than others,” Trump wrote on his social media platform. “Lou was unique in so many ways, and loved our Country. Our warmest condolences to his wonderful wife, Debi, and family. He will be greatly missed!”

Imagine spending your last years on Earth simping for Donald Trump, only to get a tweet obviously written by campaign staff. Then again, it's more than most of his cult members will ever get.

Damn shame that we lost an icon like Bob Newhart today.

I’m upvoting this and the Bob Newhart post for very different reasons.
