Let's hope they don't send him back.

I think Ailes's legacy of sexism and having very few people able to say anything decent about the man is punishment enough, so I'm just going to say I hope his family is all right.

Ancient Egyptian libelz! Pick some other ancient civilization.

So I post a reminder about the rules, right at the top of the thread, saying "while you can insult Ailes all you want and be glad he's in hell (which doesn't exist), we won't tolerate calls for anyone still alive to join him prematurely. That really shouldn't be too hard to understand."

Apparently it really IS too hard to understand. I know I've reminded you about the commenting rules previously, and, and still you post a comment wishing for people to die. You can see why that's a little irritating, right?

I'm getting tired of reminding you to stop this bullshit. Sometimes you're really funny, so I'm reluctant to banhammer you, but you're running out of warnings.

It will be difficult to ever fully comprehend the extent of the damage this man did to the institutions of the Republic, its people, and the entire world. He may be dead, but he will still be hurting all of us for a long time to come. What a shitty legacy.

Actually, I thought that Ailes had died some time ago. And actually, he did. As my Lithuanian grandmother would have said, albeit in Yiddish, "Fish rot from the head down."

Or we could use the rendered fat to make soap, like they did in Fight Club. Really rancid, nasty soap.

My EMT neighbor said he finds all the stiffs in the bathroom. So probably, yeah.

I don't know that he was no threat - he was advising Trump, after all.

Excuse me, but trolls aren't the only ones here who are religious. How about stowing the blanket sneering?
