  1. Good. What a horrible person. "In the phone recordings, Ryan uses a anti-gay slur against David Coulter, the county’s highest elected official, who is gay. She also referred to Blacks in the U.S. as lazy. 'I’m not systemically racist. I’m a new racist,' said Ryan, who was first elected in 2010."

  2. I'm not sure schadenfreude and relief that some asshole finally found the limits of their insulation from consequences quite counts as "uplifting."

Yeah, this isn't uplifting at all. It's just sad

Getting him out is a step in the right direction, which is the uplifting part

Could be worse, of course.
