Is there a more offensive putz out there than Don, Jr.?

 I'm no big fan of Alec Baldwin. I thought he was good (and plenty cute) in Working Girl, but that was over 30 years ago. And he made a excellent Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live. Mostly, he strikes me as something of a jerk.

Still, I have plenty of sympathy for his having accidentally shot and killed Halyna Hutchins, the director of photography for a film that Baldwin is both producing and starring in. I have, of course, more sympathy for Hutchins' family - she had a husband and a young son - but this incident will likely weigh heavily on Baldwin for the rest of his life. 

We'll probably learn a lot more about this shooting over the next few months. There's already plenty coming out about lack of safety standards on the site, about cost-cutting, etc. There will no doubt be hefty settlements, too.

And Alec Baldwin may bear plenty of indirect responsibility for what happened. 

As I noted, he strikes me as a jerk.

Still, if I had to vote on whether Alec Baldwin or Donald Trump, Jr. is the bigger jerk, well, that's an easy one. 

Hands down, it's hard to come up with a bigger jerk than Junior.

In fact, I'd be hard pressed to come up with a more offensive putz than Don, Jr. Certainly, Don, Sr. is crazier and more dangerous, and pretty much the most malign individual the American polity has ever produced. Nonetheless, Jr. is very much his equal, and may even surpass, the old man when it comes to being a jerk, an ahole, a putz. 

One of Junior's grifts is merchandise sales - right wing apparel that offers a lot of pro gun and anti-vax items. Typical of the cool stuff on offer is this ammo hoodie. There are also lots of hats with messages like "Do Not Comply". And increasingly popular FJB-ware. As in Fuck Joe Biden. There's even one that uses military parlance: Foxtrot-Juliet-Bravo. 

Whisky-Foxtrot-Tango???

But the most stunning items that Don Jr.'s hawking are shirts that make a joke out of the death of Halyna Hutchins. 

Rather piss poor taste, don't you think? Or should I say Papa-Papa-Tango?

Trumpworld, of course, jumped all over the Baldwin gun incident. But the shirts pretty much take the exploitation cake. Available for the low-low price of $27.99 -  I'll assume shipping and handling are extra, but I really didn't want to look too closely. 

I used to have a teensie-tiny-eenie-weenie shred of sympathy for the Trump offspring. What must it be like to have a father like that? But, with the exception of Barron, they're all grown-ass adults. They're well educated. They could do better. They just choose not to. 

There is really nothing too low for these terrible people, is there?
