That's interesting. I know people who were at KCSB at the same time as he was; I didn't realize he wasn't a student then. I did realize he was a total dick tho.
some people thrive on moralization which leads to some nasty stuff, like some form of violence
practically all violence usually follows a similar pattern/precursor
moralization (likely into opposing tribes)
demonization
dehumanization
and sadly "justification" of action/violence
in my observation most of the political drivel we see in the news is complicit
i know less than nothing about hannity ( i just looked him up and he was a contractor in his previous life)

Trump doesn't have many European friends, and after this I bet the list is a little shorter.
From Mrs. Betty Bowers Twitter:
"when the aging gorilla is confronted with the much more virile, new alpha-male, he shows submissiveness by grooming the alpha-male, but the gesture is actually a vain attempt by the old gorilla to humiliate his much younger rival"
With HUD's help, even though Hannity is against government handouts. Even though Hannity makes around $36 million/year from his TV and radio shows, so it's not like he needs HUD insurance.
Shame Hannity couldn't mention this when he had HUD Secretary Ben Carson on one of his shows. Then again, Hannity seems very keen on keeping his real estate investments a big secret—hence the massive use of shell corporations.
“It’s totally his decision, but he’ll be making a decision,” said Trump. He said he stood behind Jackson though he acknowledged he had an “experience problem.”
The President of the United States, who has never held public office, said this.
I'm eagerly awaiting the unhinged tweetstorm about the witch hunt Jackson was subjected to by the evil Democrats and fake news media.

The records link Hannity to a group of shell companies that spent at least $90m on more than 870 homes in seven states over the past decade. The properties range from luxurious mansions to rentals for low-income families. Hannity is the hidden owner behind some of the shell companies and his attorney did not dispute that he owns all of them.
Dozens of the properties were bought at a discount in 2013, after banks foreclosed on their previous owners for defaulting on mortgages. Before and after then, Hannity sharply criticised Barack Obama for the US foreclosure rate. In January 2016, Hannity said there were “millions more Americans suffering under this president” partly because of foreclosures. ...
Hannity, 56, also amassed part of his property collection with support from the US Department for Housing and Urban Development (Hud), a fact he did not disclose when praising Ben Carson, the Hud secretary, on his television show last year. ...
The real estate holdings linked to Hannity are spread across more than 20 shell companies formed in Georgia. Each of the companies uses a variant of the same name, which combines the initials of Hannity’s children. Public records show the companies have bought up dozens of properties in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, New York, North Carolina, Texas and Vermont.
Among the most valuable are two large apartment complexes in Georgia that Hannity bought in 2014 for $22.7m. The developments are in the cities of Perry and Brunswick, which have higher poverty rates and lower median incomes than the US averages. One- and two-bedroom units in Hannity’s apartment complexes are available to rent for $735 to $1,065 per month, according to brochures.
The Georgia purchases were funded with mortgages for $17.9m that Hannity obtained with help from Hud, which insured the loans under a program created as part of the National Housing Act. The loans, first guaranteed under the Obama administration, were recently increased by $5m with renewed support from Carson’s department. ...
The Georgia mortgages supported by Hud were guaranteed as part of a program aimed at protecting investors such as Hannity who buy rental apartment buildings. The government promises to cover losses if borrowers default on their mortgages. Borrowers pay an insurance premium to Hud in return. Bigger loan guarantees are available if the building houses low-income families.
Paperwork relating to the agreements with Hud, which was filed to county authorities, named Hannity as the principal of the shell companies used to buy the apartment complexes and to borrow the funds. Hannity personally signed several of the documents. A Hud source said Hannity was identified in non-public filings as the 100% owner of the apartment complexes.
