And today our president mentions Toledo rather than Dayton. Tell me how this level of ineptness can be possible and still hold that position. Truly pathetic.

Brilliant writer and scholar. I was a huge fan. I guess she wasn’t a spring chicken but I really didn’t see this coming. Nobel Laureate in literature. RIP

Oh my. I missed this news.
I just saw his father not too long ago. David grew up in DFW and had a privileged lifestyle. He clearly struggled with such and his fathers corporate dealings throughout his life.

Man, he could write lyrics...
We’ve been raised on replicas of fake and winding roads
and day after day up on this beautiful stage
we’ve been playing tambourine for minimum wage
but we are real, I know we are real.

RIH indeed. I thought this guy was put on suicide watch?

Perhaps the guards in charge of that did the world a solid by all going for an extended break at the same time. I’d have preferred a more violent end at the hands of other inmates, but at least his care is no longer being paid for.

What the heck. This story has been on front page of our paper for months. More local trash. Was a friend of the orange haired guy.
The State is now studying why he was only given a 13 month vacation at the local jail. Went to his private office each day driven by his chauffer[ sp].
Can't believe suicide watch. Were the guards hires as they were handicapped - like blind.
Dies in a DOJ facility after already trying to commit suicide once. For those who don't know the DOJ is run by the president's personal attorney, Bill Barr.
As for Epstein resting in peace, it's wrong that he's listed in this thread with all the good people who are memorialized here. If I believed in hell, I'd say R.I.H.

Your mention was the first I heard of this but I didn't read it carefully, I just clicked on CNN for the details.
