All options
Polistra's Law of Tables:
When a government official says "All options are on the table", he always means "All evil options are being considered. We will consider doing a lot of evil, a whole hell of a lot of evil, or a nearly infinite amount of evil. We will most likely compromise on the middle choice, a whole hell of a lot of evil. Any option that might help the American people is absolutely unthinkable, unimaginable and incomprehensible, and you are officially insane for even trying to suggest it." ¶ 12:06 PM
