The officials suggested the incident "might cause some awkward encounters at the office in the coming days and weeks".

To say the least. Nothing builds teams like leaving a man behind to die.

They might as well confiscate his Swingline while they're at it.

If you're going to swiftboat someone, you have to set up the swiftboaters, too, not just expect them to be with you.

Trump has done nothing to ingratiate himself with the military, and they've been a much softer right wing block for him after 2016.

Absolute panic and disarray. I wonder who he would go with. Logically, it would have to be a woman or person of color to counter Harris, right? Would there be anyone who would boost him among pro-Palestinian voters, I wonder?

C-suites fired? That's the funniest thing I've heard yet today. They aren't getting fired - they are their own ass-coverage. How can they be to blame when all these other companies were hit as well?

I guess this is a good week for me to still be laid off.

Half my life was spent fearing the result of limitless population growth and contemplating the inevitability of war and famine to shock population levels back down to sustainable levels. They warned us about this starting at least as far back as the sixties.

I see organic population collapse as a categorically good thing.

I'm closer to a carnivore than a vegan, but if something is good, it's good. I'm not going to hate on something delicious because I feel threatened by someone else's life choices.

Don't worry, farmers; if I start eating vegan cheese I promise I'll make up for it in beef consumption.

What could be wrong with camps to just concentrate these folks into a single area? That just makes it easier to implement a final solution once it has been found. We can let them earn gold stars to identify outstanding individuals. I think this would be a great experiment. Can you not see?

I think it's that guys like this one aren't a hill anyone is eager to die on. Like, it's bad, but let's not make this guy the poster boy for ending the practice. There are other cases I'm much happier to cite in arguments opposing the death penalty.

Or they're worried he will accidentally dislodge the mask and interfere with the proper administration of nitrogen. There is no actual danger to breathing nitrogen - the air we breathe is mostly nitrogen - we just need oxygen mixed in. It's all a stage play for delaying his execution.

I'm not in favor of execution, but this is the most humane method we have available. So until we can stop executing people, it would be good not to fuck with doing it in this way.

I mean why not twist your daughter's assault to support your bigoted narrative? I'm sure she'll never resent lying about the circumstances of her assault to serve her father. Being used by men, after all, is the highest calling of a woman.

I wish I was surprised, but all I feel is disgust and an abundance of not surprise.

It sort of makes sense that if you don't let women abort risky pregnancies, then infant mortality will go up. That's nothing but preventable misery.

Honestly, I don't care. I'm sick of death threats for a giggle. Take it as seriously as a hilarious bomb threat at an airport.
