    3 very disjointed actions. He sent a resignation letter to the governor he denied the resignation, bizarre in its own right. Then to find out he lost reelection and was suited to end his term anyway. So his solution to a non-problem is to end himself anyway? None of those things make sense. There's a big story lurking underneath this. Talk to the guy who refused his resignation.

He made a point of doing it in his workplace, in the middle of the night. I don't know what it means, but it has to mean something.

      It may be insignificant to you, but those warnings allow people decide if that viewing is appropriate for them, or who they care for. Fear can trigger PTSD flash backs and/ or psychotic episodes in some people. Discussions of death can risk the lives of people with that type of ideation. It's happened to me many times. I am lucky that I survived my attempts. Trigger warnings allow people to make informed choices to best care for themselves, and others.

He was an American citizen, born in Texas, former US serviceman - not some border crossing migrant. Lies like tRump’s inflame folks and cause serious problems. The facts were known within hours, but that didn’t stop the MAGA chuds.
      And honestly, the American attention span is measured in seconds not minutes or hours. Most can’t handle in-depth analysis or factual information. They need snippets from RUclips and FB and X to tell them stuff. So yes, MSM is giving our citizenry what they can digest. And that is sad indeed.

      Depression is not the only reason people take their own lives. There is a multitude of other possible reasons.
