Last night in Michigan he tormented the widow of John Dingell, claiming Dingell is in hell.

If I ever got within arms length of this piece of shit, I’d give him a one way ticket. (Don’t worry SS, I can’t afford a ticket to DC and my car wouldn’t get me there. Not to mention I’d never get an invite to the 45* White House.)
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

John Dingell was great on the Twitter, one of the few who made that hellsite worthy of a visit.

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Not a bright move John Dingel is fondly looked upon in MI. One of the old guard who always treated everyone with respect.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.
