Barron Trump is declining Florida's offer to be a delegate to the Republican National Convention this summer, citing 'prior committments,' according to his mother's office.
Welp, Rush Is dead now. Dying was the coolest thing that man ever did. 🎉
Dying was his second coolest thing. His first coolest thing was becoming a drug addict after years of being critical to those with drug addition. He even said "drug abuse was a choice, not a disease. " He was alive long enough to live that hypocrisy and experience the ridicule for it.
Well, he also denied the smoking - lung cancer connection.
I cannot tell you how many people would argue with me - IRL and online - often molded directly after Rush’s style, and repeat, like good little parrots: “correlation is not causation! correlation is not causation!”. I think Ayn Rand had her cult members smoke as a matter of dogmatic adherence to her Objectivist ideals, too. I have to wonder how much of this made its way to all the little Libertarians and/or Republicans as a consequence.
There were quite a lot of unwritten rules prior to 2016
The Republicans never abided by them. See Rush (de facto leader of the Republican Party for decades) and Chelsea Clinton, for instance.

So dumb…
I’m just happy he was finally able to get off drugs.
I wish he’d done it years earlier.
