Yeah, he got caught in some sort of fraud and sucked on a .357 on live TV.
Iirc he was falsely accused/a scapegoat or something
Sidenote, this came up in my search while I was refreshing my memory
Man that sounds delicious, why do these politicians these days have to be such picky eaters
Hey man, nice shot!
Fetterman, if you're listening...
Please let's see the current leader do this when he realizes the child rape walls are closing in on him and there's no more escape
He would need to feel shame of any kind
yeah, there are events that cause you to lose your sense of shame. I am confident krasnov has been through at least one of them, given the behavior he has displayed and the level of wealth he was born into.
Good shot man!
It's not what he said but how he said it
What you could have taught me. I could have saved some face.
Norm Macdonald thought this guy killing himself was hilarious
Would love to see more of this type of statesmanship
I’m so lost can someone tell me who he is
The song was written about the public suicide of Pennsylvania state treasurer R. Budd Dwyer on January 22, 1987, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Dwyer had been convicted of bribery charges in December 1986, and was expected to receive a lengthy sentence from U.S. District Court Judge Malcolm Muir. Professing his innocence and decrying the legal system, Dwyer shot and killed himself with a .357 Magnum revolver during a live televised press conference.
Damnnn off of bribery charges? Our politicians used to have some semblance of decency
Part of what made it so memorable - and inspired the song - is that school was cancelled that day so a bunch of kids were watching the press conference.
Imagine such a thing as criminal charges for a US politician today. Different times.
he has such a way with words ☺️
In hindsight, he probably did it not out of any shame, but because he wanted to go out in a way that might make people view him as a tragic, misunderstood figure. If Epstein did kill himself, it was probably for the same reason. Narcissists, both of them.
He had his constituents dreams in the back of his head.

We should bring that back.
