I’m not sure you could point to any other single person who has had a more damaging impact to the country than this piece of crap. In any case, it will probably get worse.
Which country? He has damaged many.
Pretty sure it’s countries, at this point.
Harry Anslinger!
Harry Anslinger!
Yup. One of my favorite scumbags to tell people about.
Marijuana was Anslinger’s golden ticket. He used his office to trumpet the association between weed and violence, so that it could be criminalized. “You smoke a joint and you’re likely to kill your brother,” he was known to have said. McWilliams explains that in this effort, “Anslinger appealed to many organizations whose members were predominantly white Protestant.”
From the beginning, Anslinger conflated drug use, race, and music. “Reefer makes darkies think they’re as good as white men,” he was quoted as saying. “There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the U.S., and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others.”

Let’s include Ehrlichman as a runner up though!
“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people,” former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman told Harper’s writer Dan Baum for the April cover story published Tuesday.
“We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.”
“Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

“Rupert Murdoch created all of this and so much more across America and the globe,” Hemmer said. “His life’s work has left an indelible imprint on the global media landscape. His contributions are both innumerable and extraordinary and we thank him for letting us be a part of it all.”

I love how nothing in this paragraph says that he was a good person, good leader, or contributed anything beneficial to anybody, ever.
Maybe he was visited by three ghosts during the night… and that’s why he’s stepping down. I doubt he learned his lesson though.
When you think of evil men, he’s gotta be on the list.
His son is also a giant piece of shit but that is not exactly surprising.
Which son? James doesn’t seem too bad.
It’s Lachlan. He’s at least as bad as the old man.
Oof yeah that’s still bad then.
I’m waiting on him to step down from this plane of existence.
Why do the evil always live long lives? Is it because they’re pickled in poisonous thoughts?
Upsettingly, he and Kissinger seem to be eternal
Gotta be a shitty person to become a Lich
Fuck, I forgot he was still staining this earth.
Kissinger is 100. He can’t last that much longer… can he?
Maybe it is all the Cambodian children he eats that gives him eternal life.
Even if he does, it doesn’t really matter. He already caused immeasurable damage to the world, destroyed who-knows-how-many lives and got to live well into his 90s in unimaginable opulence.
Plus he’s stepping down on his own terms, nobody ousted him. None of his enemies ever managed to take him down, and he’s got his legacy all set up. When he does eventually die, it’ll most likely be in a comfortable hospital bed surrounded by some the best doctors in the world making sure it goes as well as it possibly can.
He dedicated his entire life to being an evil bastard and he completely, utterly won. I don’t think there’s anything much that could even hurt him at this point.
Name a bigger piece of shit, I will wait
Kissinger. Change my mind.
What a blight on humanity.
Shocked to see that from Rupert.
How old is he? He looks mummified
Joke answer is that he is actually the nephew of Atilla the Hun and failed to maintain the Hunnic horde after Atillas death by nose bleed.
Actual answer is he’s 92.
Enjoy that lengthy retirement, Rupert. You’ve earned every hour of it.
Edit: Minute? Second?
opposite David Attenborough feelings
Can he step down into a wood chipper next?
Murdoch announces Titanic sub trip
I’m running some sightseeing trips there using my newly designed submersible called the Schmoceangate Schmiton.
Alright I am making a deal right now. If Murdoch goes on a submarine and what I really hope happens does happen I am going to seriously reconsider my atheism.
Come on deity I am pretty sure doesn’t exist. Return me to the fold.
I have some nice aquatical themed gods if you’re interested. You want a squid or a crab?
Maybe, as long as it isn’t Cthulhu since I am pretty confident that if he has a hand in this it is because he wants the man for some reason. Plus I am sorry but I don’t trust anything that sleeps for strange aeons but doesn’t die.
I’ll give you the crab then
Ya dont need to worship the Old Ones when the Old Gods are right there, like look at Jormangander he’s even an Oroboris!
I’ve got a special helicopter pilot appointed!
Let me know when he steps down from being alive.
Die
I’ve seen this episode of Succession
I thought >!he died and did not step down.!<
