WaPo "Writer" Hopes Scalise Will Die In Surgery

He deleted one of his pro-assassination tweets, which you can see in the Daily Caller article, but he still has these gems on offer:

Malcolm X, of course, made his famous "chickens coming home to roost" statement linking the Kennedy assassination to policies Kennedy championed.

He was recently featured in the hot pile of extremist garbage known as the Washington Post, opining that Millennials keep leaking government secrets because they're "doers" filled with "initiative" and "hustle."

Without intending to, employers and policymakers have engineered a cohort of workers that is bound to yield leakers. An important part of our training for the 21st-century labor market has been an emphasis on taking initiative, hustling, finding ways to be useful, not waiting around for someone in charge to tell us what to do. In a Pew survey of young workers, a majority said they wanted to be the boss someday or already were. And if we can’t boss anyone else, we can at least boss ourselves. The gig-economy service Fiverr, for instance, recruits “doers” who “eat a coffee for lunch.” We are each of us a start-up of one, encouraged to develop and chase our values even if we don’t make much money. That’s usually a good situation for companies, which get ambitious employees (if we’re privileged enough to have that title) at basement rates as long as they’re able to make a thin claim or two about charity or sustainability. However, depending on an army of righteous, initiative-taking mercenaries does have its downsides when it comes to national security.

The corporate psychological consultants paid money to help companies deal with Millennials' laziness and kaszh attitude towards doing actual work might disagree.

This genius has also been featured in, get this, Salon and the New Republic.

He also claims he has a forthcoming book with Little, Brown. And yet, I was told a few months ago that a high-profile publisher could not possibly publish a book by an extremist rabble-rouser.

He says he works at Vox, but Vox disputes that; we'll have to see how that shakes out.
