I can't, for whatever reason the codec Truth Social uses does not work with my phone.

Maybe if they weren't such divas that they'll die because dinner was late and they were a bit cold, they'd be doing better in the ol' favoritism race...

Wait, really? I figured this was yet another thing he was gonna demolish...

Perhaps strain would be a better word than drain - it would still be a short-mid term financial burden to take even a tiny fraction of the sane population from the US, it's a big country. Sure would be nice if it could be arranged though...

Yeah it gets a little bit... psychotically dystopian at that point. Most likely the child will be assigned a caseworker who will then enroll them in medicaid (or CHIP or similar state programs, assuming we still have any of those I haven't checked today...), and regardless they will receive necessary care until they're discharged. But hey, it's the US, none of this shit is actually guaranteed!

At least in the US, the mother's health insurance policy (assuming she has one) will automatically extend to cover children born while the mother is under coverage.

Your feelings are more important than everyone else's because...?

Excerpts from this thread:

Respect o7

Gary Plauche is another person who took justice into his own hands

He did what needed to be done.

Hero

100% justified

I can’t remember a thing, but i do remember at one point we all gave a standing ovation.

Yep would done the same or worse to that fucker.

No, people are absolutely condoning this. In some cases they're even celebrating it. "Most people" might not, but the people being criticized, the ones in this thread, absolutely exist and are doing exactly what they're being criticized for.

Jesus fucking christ no he didn't - a big reason we don't do vigilante executions is the same reason we shouldn't be doing the government sponsored kind:

COPS ARE BAD AT THEIR JOB

At the time there was every chance that Doucet was innocent because the cops had arrested the wrong person - the evidence was not available, and Gary Plauche unilaterally carried out a death sentence on a man on a rumor. In this case it probably worked out, although the investigation into Doucet was stopped after his death and the case was considered closed so we still don't know for sure: testimony of a traumatized 10 year old and Doucet's presence in the hotel room are the primary evidence, but there was no further investigation to find out if he was even the only person involved. At the time, Plauche didn't even know for sure that Doucet was in the hotel room, he had just been given rumors.

From your post history, you're a decent person, you're not some bootlicker, so why are you affording the police enough credibility that you believe their initial investigations are so well conducted that they can unilaterally be used as grounds for summary execution?

"Black box" usually refers to both the Flight Data Recorder and the Cockpit Voice Recorder as a nebulous whole - some FDRs are also configured to record pilot mics as well but that's not standard.

And only if the fetus ain't miscegenated...
