Cool
Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?
Would he himself do it and if so would it actually break the 2 party system this time like Reform (but less successful)? Obviously you can't expect Mr "big things coming" to follow through on anything though.
Competitive 3 way races where democrats get 3rd place are probably easier for a socialist party to surpass them though.
hes not a natural born usian who tf is gonna lead the party
He can run for anything but president or VP
Buy the speaker of the house position and then have the President and VP take an open topped car ride through Dallas, easy peasy
Is there a law against running a political party if you're born outside the US, even if you have american citizenship? I didn't know that
to be president you have to be, thats what i meant by lead, no clue about how political parties work in the usa
The funny part is the amount of power they gave doge with all the databases they access makes them a national security risk
Tesla stock down. 284.70 USD −47.35 (14.26%)today.
Just at this company's over valued stock
Looking into it.
Still waiting for someone to explain what exactly they'd gain from doing this as a bit
It is absolutely inexplicable to me that so many people think this is fake or staged. Do you know who these men are? Have you ever paid attention to anything either of them have ever done? This is the most predictable, believable outcome I can imagine.
This was the first thing I thought of when I heard about this moronic bullshit
USA Today: Luigi Mangione's diary entries unveiled in court documents
A new court filing details Luigi Mangione's diary entries in the months leading up to the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, shedding light on how the murder suspect allegedly targeted the executive after initially planning a larger bombing attack.
The cops say Luigi's spiral notebook has detailed diary entries about his motive and planning.
"I finally feel confident about what I will do. The details are coming together. And I don't feel any doubt about whether it's right/justified," Mangione wrote in an entry dated Aug. 15, 2024, according to court records. "I'm glad-in a way-that I've procrastinated bc [sic] it allowed me to learn more about (UnitedHealthcare)," which he later describes as a company "that literally extracts human life force for money."
Why would you write this down?? Just like the way he was found at McDonald's, it's almost unbelievable that the shooter would do these things after how well executed the attack was. But people have been known to make massive errors, or be very skilled in one aspect and ignorant in others.
In October 2023, about six weeks before Thompson was killed, Mangione wrote that "the investor conference is a true windfall" because "It embodies everything wrong with our health system," court records say.
He hasn't been proven guilty, but they phrase it as a fact that it's his notebook. News will typically say something like 'the writings say' or 'he allegedly wrote' etc, no such privilege for Luigi.
Mangione continued, describing his train of thought in targeting a CEO who was set to attend an annual conference for investors. "So say you want to rebel against the deadly, greed fueled health insurance cartel. Do you bomb the HQ? No. Bombs=terrorism."
Prosecutors argue that the writings and Mangione's methodic planning of the attack justify the New York case and prosecutors' charge of first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism.
"All of these writings convey one clear message: that the murder of Brian Thompson was intended to bring about revolutionary change to the healthcare industry. Defendant's targeting of UHC had nothing to do with anything that the company had done to him personally," wrote Joel Seidemann, assistant district attorney for the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
The article ends with this:
Citing the evidence against, Mangione, Seidemann wrote, "If ever there were an open and shut case pointing to defendant's guilt, this case is that case. Simply put, one would be hard pressed to find a case with such overwhelming evidence of guilt as to the identity of the murderer and premeditated nature of the assassination."
Why did this paragraph need to be included? His lawyers have already complained about the public statements released by the prosecution potentially biasing the jury. It almost feels as if that's the purpose of this article.
Obligatory: Is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?
It is too convenient for police. How much of population has diary? This situation is less convincing than epsteins suicide
"yeah the cops faked the manifesto but that's PROBABLY what he was thinking anyways" -average American media consumer in the extreme off-chance we get undeniable proof this is fake
Let this be a lesson to everyone here. Don't write down that you intend to do a crime, no matter what.
Even if you couch it as a joke, don't write it down
glad-in a way-that
Em dash detected, this was Chatgpt, it's not real.
isn't this a normal dash (-) and the chatgpt giveaway is that it uses the actual em dash character (—) ? Fully believe the pigs used chatgpt for this shit either way
Firstly, the guy in custody doesn't look like the guy in video stills releases, so I have reasonable doubt they apprehended the correct person. That said, I write -occasionally- like that.
As a frequent em dash user prior to chatgpt, damn that company for making people think I use AI.
Semicolon users stay winning; separate clauses are the way to go
Just use, commas wherever,
No, I will continue to use semicolons; they make me feel fancy.
Seriously though, the "Bomb the HQ? No. Bombs=terrorism" sounds so much like the 'edgy' writing from chatbots I've seen.
Reading the quotes again, it's pretty funny they are using them to justify the terrorism charge when it specifically says no to terrorism in it
Ok news mega, how long do we give the Dems before they’re giving a standing ovation like he’s Yaroslav Hunka?
