He is a coward and the sooner his head is on a spike the better it will be for the rest of us.

That's so fucking wrong... It's "pike." His head should be on a pike.
While a pike might be a type of spike, the battle purpose-built pike is far easier for head impalement and more commonly associated with severed heads.
But really, you do you.
The pike vs spike is far deeper than that.
A pike is a long pole with a spike at the end. This is perfect for mounting heads when parading through the streets, but is less desirable for a permanent fixture, say on the steps of Congress.
A spike is usually referring to a fixed emplacement.
Hope that clears things up.
That is fascinating and I appreciate your input! So, we should not only consider scope of whether we stop at Bozos and for how long he/they will be displayed?
Exactly.
Oliver Cromwell's head was displayed for 30 years on the Tower Bridge. Granted he was already dead before he could participate in the process, so he was dug up, then hanged, drawn, and quartered, and his head was mounted on a spike.
The trick to a long-lasting head on a spike is to dip the head in tar. It slows the decomposition... Although I'm sure there are modern treatments that would work better, maybe freeze dry and then an epoxy under vacuum?
Plastinization, I think is the word.
I usually find them obnoxious, but I'm looking forward to that episode of Evan and Katelyn. Especially since they usually get their projects wrong the first few tries and will need to utilize spare billionaires' heads.
lol nice.
I wonder how much of Lemmy runs on AWS.
The newspaper with the slogan “democracy lies in darkness,”...
There is nothing anyone can say to convince me that the typo wasn't intentional.
EDIT:The actual slogan is "Democracy Dies in Darkness ".
Anyone who isn't a journalist isn't an ideal owner. Let the experts have some autonomy, but no, whoever has the most money can just buy a news paper and have them do whatever
Jeff bezos is not an ideal owner.
That's a great reason to nationalize his companies.
Does Amazon sell a rotisserie large enough to eat the rich?
In an ideal democracy, no one should give a shit about who one person endorses, regardless of they rich or what
