988 is the number for the newly created suicide prevention number approved yesterday by the Federal Communication Commission.
“The need for suicide prevention services has never been greater in modern times,” FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said at the FCC’s open meeting on Thursday. More
Hopefully it’s not sponsored by the Clinton Foundation!
Better bulk up the staff before next November…..
Why not 666? Most suicidal types will enjoy a direct convo with the Debble.
Doublethink: Suicide Prevention vs. Physician-Assisted Suicide
And 999 is the number for tips on:
“Eliminate your carbon footprint.” (get off the planet)
I just called. They put me on hold, the bastards.
Alyssa milano will be crank calling it.
I hope they apply penalties for misuse.

Have you seen “government” “workers”!? No. Just. No.
The Democrat arty should call that number!
It should have been 837 – numerical equivalent for TDS 🙂

Just in time for Trump’s reelection
Sometimes we just need to thin the herd.
“Hi, diss be yo fera gubmints soosilide con, countslish, countessaluh, tells me yo name sos we can talke about da prablums you habbin an sheeit.”
The red flag tip line.
They talked me out of it.
Maybe I should apply as a counselor. “Oh, you say you’re a liberal socialist? It is your duty to kill yourself to save the planet.”
Dammit!
“Bienvenidos al la Linea del Suicidio. Para continuar en inglés, oprima dos”
Well, the shrinks can diagnose Trump’s insanity from afar, so they should do as well talking people off the ledge. Right? What a psychic hotline boondoggle.
“Suicide Hotline, sponsored this week by Nike: Just Do It. How can I help you?”
… from an idea by BrassG
“Suicide Hotline, how can I help you? You say your name is Mr. ‘Kapernick’? … yeah … ‘Just Do It'”.
“Suicide Hotline, how can I help you? … um hum … well, Ms. Pelosi I’d advise you to get over your ‘feelings’ of ‘animal humping’ towards ‘Mr. Trump’, step away from the Botox (& any open flames near your face, by the way) & acknowledge your smart enough, good enough &, doggone it, people really like you.”
Too late for Mr. Epstein. Wait, he didn’t need it.
What a cracked up , goofy world. Some states prohibit pro-lifers from trying to convince young women not to kill their unborn child, but now the federal government is going to promote people who will try to convince someone from killing themselves. Some states will pin a double murder on someone if they kill a pregnant woman, but will allow that same woman or a medical professional to kill her unborn child.
All life is sacred or no life is sacred.
I’m on the all life is sacred side.
To be run by the DMV, good luck.
Somebody tell Hillary it’s for PREVENTION, not placing orders.
