Evil people never die.

Especially that one.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 week ago

Oh, but they do. at least for the next decade or 2, after that who knows.

If we go by the rule of 3's we already hit 3, Hayden Panettiere was #1

Even if he died, they'd Mitch McConnell him.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 week ago

"he's dead, they just Mitched him." is a fitting legacy for him.
