Cucci, by the way, is a faggot. A faggot is cheering the destruction of L.A. as a “den of iniquity.” You suck penises, sir. (Images via Twitter)

As I scroll through Twitter and see all the right-wingers DELIGHTING in the destruction of parts of Hollywood (and believing false stories that all of downtown L.A. has burned, that Beverly Hills is on fire), I'm reminded of 1989.

I worked in the Fine Arts Building in Chicago at that time for a literary agent. On way too many afternoons, we would leave work, take the antique elevator with its elderly operator downstairs, and go next door to a candy and ice cream shop run by three older women who made sinfully delicious milkshakes.

These women, sisters, almost looked like triplets — same height, same shuffle, same shoe polish-black dye jobs. Like our building's office manager, who would arrive monthly to collect rent in an accidentally vintage 1940s women's suit, gloves and heels, the ladies were throwbacks to another era, one that skipped the '60s.

We found them endearing and funny. They would bounce around behind the counters off of each other, looking like slow-mo pinball machine, all the while exclaiming “yeah-yeah, sure-sure” and otherwise sounding like characters from Looney Tunes.

That year, the San Francisco earthquake happened, and while we were in line, one of the ladies told a customer it happened because God was cleaning up all the sinners. I never tasted that milkshake again.

And now, 36 years later, we still have people (perhaps more than ever?) who are openly rooting for L.A. to be wiped off the face of the earth. Now, along with decrying liberalism, they have the QAnon lies about “Pedowood” fueling them, as if everyone in the city limits molested one of those missing zillion kids, also made up.

Leftists are assholes, too. (Image via Threads)

These anti-social deviants are egged on by Trump, who — with his allies — is seizing a natural disaster to state that this is allllll somehow the fault of Democrats. For the slightly less stupid of their followers, they fabricate stories about water being gone due to Democratic mismanagement, or they harp on DEI being to blame.

It's enough to make you feel people are not only not inherently good, but inherently evil — and the nice guys who finish last are the outliers.

He was big-mad someone snarked on a single person, but he wants the entire population of L.A. destroyed. (Images via Twitter)
