Four senior civil rights lawyers at the U.S. Justice Department resigned ​in recent days, departures that were prompted in part by a decision to sideline their unit ​from investigating the fatal shooting of a Minnesota woman ​by a ⁠U.S. immigration officer, according to two sources familiar with the departures.

Dilbert creator Scott Adams died at age 68, he had metastasized prostate cancer. He was a huge jerk but no one deserves that.

I can think of at least 1 person who deserves it.

Well if I had to pick one.

Donald Trump has been;
  • Credibly accused of Raping a 13 year old girl.
  • Found liable for a different rape
  • Accused of spousal rape
  • Had additional claims of sexual violence made against him.
  • ordered the summary execution of people on international waters, on base-less accusations of criminal offenses that do not carry capital punishment.
  • bombed 8 countries.
  • Ordered the violent and warrantless arrest of American citizens on the grounds of verifying citizenship
  • Created or funded not less than 4 concentration camps
  • Slandered and threatened hundreds of people publicly.
  • Illegally impounded government funds, causing the withdrawal of USAID and the deaths of tens of thousands or more.
  • Release false information regarding health and vaccine, causing the death of a yet unmeasured number of people.
  • Attempt to buy or sell foreign territory without regards for inhabitants leaving some exposed to genocide, famine, or exposure to violent conflict.
  • Withdrawn from a system of alliances that has allowed American to exert economical global hegemony, without authorization for congress
  • Received billions in emoluments, violating several laws and defrauding the American/Global public.
  • Provided blanket pardons to criminals.
  • Attempted to tamper with or block the certification of elections

And not so much verified, but suspected;
  • selling pardons
  • committed election fraud
  • demanded the rigging of elections.
  • discriminated on the basis of race, sex and age.
  • pooping his diaper while in office.
  • senig at least 1 girl with a problematic story about him 'disappear'.
  • human trafficking

And after you get through all of the crimes, you could just start looking at how he is a really morally abhorrent person.

His obituary should read, that millions died because of him, more suffered, the technological progress of the world has been set back, and we are racing more quickly toward climate disaster. The people he directly hurt will never recover, but the human race might in a couple hundred years, from just how awful of a world he left.

Even his prostate couldn't handle his bullsh*t.

To all those who mention "karma" in regard to terrible people, how to you explain the orange rapist still drawing breath? Oh, if only hopes, thoughts and prayers did anything.

n00bredeau is easily one of the first to cry victim for mistreatment of some ill in his life: Alberta, whites, men. you name it, he has likely called it. But to everyone else, it doesnt matter.

Scott Adams also thought he knew better than doctors and that he could cure his cancer with ivermectin. When that obviously failed and death was all but certain he asked Trump to help him skip the line to receive immediate treatment. You don’t wish pain like that on anyone if you’re decent but it’s hard to feel bad for these people.

Like when Steve Jobs tried all sorts of woo-woo stuff, and when it didn't work skipped the line for a liver transplant. Then died, because he had waited too long, and wasted an organ in the process. Sometimes even the most brilliant can also be dumb-asses.

Quote:
At least six career prosecutors in the Minneapolis U.S. Attorney's office — including Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson — have resigned as the office continues to face pressure to treat the investigation of the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE officer as an assault on a federal officer case.
Quote:
Two sources familiar with the matter tell CBS News the resignations stemmed from concern over a request to probe Good's widow — who was with her when they encountered the ICE agents — as well as the way that the case is being treated as an assault on a federal officer as opposed to a civil rights case.
Quote:
Doug Kelley, a former assistant U.S. attorney for Minnesota, says the move is a major blow to the credibility of the office moving forward.
"I've been practicing federal criminal law in this state for 51 years and this is the darkest day in 51 years as far as I can see for the rule of law in Minnesota," Kelley said. "If they feel the need to resign because of orders they have gotten that will violate their consciouses, to me it's a great statement on their part that this is not tolerable by them."

The name Sascha Riley is trending with regard to troubling Epstein allegations.

At this time, the allegations are unverified and have not been confirmed by independent or official sources.

Thought his all avocado diet would cure his pancreatic cancer…. When he had the super rare type of pancreatic cancer that was actually treatable.

Brilliant or not it always seems like it’s the ####tiest people who find themselves in this predicament. Though to Adams’ credit he probably didn’t smell as bad as Jobs.

Did anyone ever consider the creator of Dilbert to be the most brilliant though?
