Rush Limbaugh is a radio personality. His advertisers pay him well to maintain ratings, which is their ROI. If you're looking for political angst on either side of the aisle, it's easy to find.

That's what personnel policies and HR are for. Most companies have a toll-free hotline. I'd have called it. Link to comment

Outrage is more or less one of the most addictive sensation human beings have, and as such is an effective way to ensure people watch your s#!t. So... they are designed for angst, but in service of ratings. Link to comment

I’ve seen very few people here that vocally support Trump. My challenge for you is to argue or be this adamant towards a Trump supporter when you see one in person. Call them a racist, bigot, homophobe, POS, etc. Report back to us. 1 Link to comment
