Well, it is Politico.
Tone-deaf, insensitive jerkoff.
Some things are just. not. funny.
Suicide is certainly one of them. So tragic and sad to realize the hopelessness that one must feel.
Byers would do well to remember these words by Donne:
Any man’s death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
as if it’s a surprise that there are some less-than-empathetic staffers at politico…
Insufferable jerk needed someone to point out the complete tastelessness in that lede?
Hopefully, this will be how Politico ends - “with a bang”. Preferably, with a nuclear “bang”.
Funny how he didn’t say this after the Charlie Hedbo massacre.
And not just Politico, but Evan Byers, the personification of that smug twisty little shit everyone knows who, rather than acknowledge error, continues to argue about why he wasn’t really wrong even after being forced to take corrective action.
