The New York Daily News slammed Donald Trump Jr. as the “SPAWN OF HATIN’” on its front page Tuesday.

The tabloid ripped ex-President Donald Trump’s eldest son for hawking shirts mocking actor Alec Baldwin over the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was shot with what Baldwin was told was an unloaded prop gun on the set of his new movie “Rust” last week.

“Don Jr. tops sick GOP Alec taunts with slimy T-shirt,” the newspaper’s subheadline said of the garments emblazoned with the phrase, “Guns Don’t Kill People, Alec Baldwin Kills People.”

Other Trump-adoring Republicans, including Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and Ohio Senate hopeful J.D. Vance, have also used the tragedy to taunt Baldwin, who impersonated the former president on “Saturday Night Live.”

...literally.

Also, this accident happened because they went cheap with the gun wrangler on set, among other union-dodging practices.
I feel bad for Baldwin, but he was the executive producer. This accident happened in the context of systemic corner-cutting. As an actor he's not responsible. As an executive in the production company, he is.

He is the reason we need higher inheritance taxes. This pig contributes nothing.
Yes America we need to point out the lazy rich.

Colin Powell died, and we were all strictly admonished by the civility police not to speak ill of the man, his record, or his career. Wasn't seemly. Shouldn't carp on the man when he hasn't even been decently buried. Not done, Old Sport.

Maybe we should have printed up t-shirts? "My Country Invaded Iraq Based on Colin Powell's Lies, and All I Got was this Lousy PTSD."

Probably too wordy.
