That's a great fantasy, but New York doesn't have the death penalty, and he didn't commit a federal crime. He won't get the death penalty, he'll likely get first degree murder and serve 30-life assuming they can show he targeted the actual victim and it wasn't just the first person he saw that looked like they might be a UHG executive.

There is no planet on which UHC or anyone else wanted to be forced to cover patients with pre-existing conditions at anything resembling a reasonable cost.

Do I think Obama gave up way too much in negotiations? Absolutely. Do I think you're a moron if you think this was "all part of private insurance's master plan"? Absolutely.

There's a reason Trump keeps talking about "replacing" Obamacare. And it's not just his ego, private insurance wants it gutted.

There are millions of people right? What the fuck is so special about that one that we need to excuse them for preying on children?

What's special is they're a republican, and there is dirt on them, which means they can be controlled. In a vacuum, nothing is special about Matt Gaetz. He's a goblin looking fratbro who by all accounts has a pretty annoying personality. His special power is having a father who is also a politician and a penchant for banging underage girls which his donors and peers can use to control his actions.

Members of the military have an obligation to refuse illegal orders. I am neither in the military nor a lawyer, so I can’t go too deep on that.

I have no doubt this is his first step in ferreting out any military leadership who holds loyalty to the constitution over him personally. Whether this particular plan is blocked or not, it lets him clear out anyone who won't follow his orders without question going forward.

If you're looking for the most morally reprehensible person in the room, just seek out the one who can't stop injecting their religion into every unrelated conversation.

because in the long term the right will bail after Trump and leave a party so weak that it probably won’t be able to fight off the memory of Trump

Look at this optimist still assuming there's going to be another election and that a republican party actually matters. The supreme court has already ruled he can't be held liable for anything he does while president if it's an "official act" - if you think he won't try "officially" ending the public choosing the next president, you might be in for a rude awakening.

In their defense, he'll "handle" Gaza. It turns out his "handling" is just the annihilation of any Arab within 1,000 miles of Gaza. But at least they can rest easy knowing that they "sent a message"?

Just because you are too stupid to see other ways to handle a literal child does not make it okay to hit said child.

While I shouldn't feed the trolls, I'll respond.

I do see other ways to handle children, I literally stated that, but you skipped that part because apparently you're too lazy or too stupid to read an entire post and retain all the information contained within it. Which tracks the rest of your message. Now before you're blinded by rage: it's pretty obvious you aren't a parent. it's pretty obvious your exposure to kids is extremely limited. Your "countless studies" apparently amounted to: 0? Because you're refuting an ACTUAL study with a post on lemmy that doesn't include a SINGLE citation.

I'm not surprised you didn't read the article, because you appear to be one of those fools that has the entire world solved, if only more people would listen to you. And it's shocking they don't, you've got such a persuasive means of communication.

Some kids absolutely need to be spanked. I was one of them - timeouts did nothing. Taking things away did nothing. Getting the threat of being spanked? Definitely stopped me in my tracks. Actually getting spanked? That's the last time I was going to try whatever stunt caused it.

My kids don't need to be spanked and never have been, other methods have always worked to curb bad behavior. Anyone saying "spanking is never acceptable" has apparently never had a shithead boy who is unphased by other forms of punishment.

For adults wondering if it's OK to spank: if you're spanking your kid out of anger or it's the first thing you turn to, you're doing something very wrong. It should be the big red button of last resort.

"If I can't get universal healthcare, I'll vote for the end of all social services and democracy as we know it. That'll show em!"

This guy has been a piece of shit his whole life.

That's because Facebook is selling your data and access to advertise to you. The better AI gets across the board, the more money they make. AI isn't the product, you are.

OpenAI makes money off selling AI to others. AI is the product, not you.

The fact facebook release more code, in this instance, isn't a good thing. It's a reminder how fucked we all are because they make so much off our personal data they can afford to give away literally BILLIONS of dollars in IP.

That would be more believable if he hadn't made enough money to retire 1,000 times over now. $500m? I think most people can't grasp how much money that is. Putting that money into a shitty high yield checking account would net him $21m in income a year. It is absurd how much money he has. If he wants to fuck off and do literally nothing for the rest of his life, he can still live like a god without spending a dime of what he's earned so far.

Jill Stein doesn’t know how many members of the House there are in Congress. 600?!?!

There is a 100% chance that Trump couldn't name how many members there are in the house. I'd be shocked if he could list the branches of government without help.

note I'm not saying that's acceptable. But if that's your test for "is this a serious candidate" I hate to be the bearer of bad news...

I'm a republican, I was the throat goat until Ronnie made an honest(ish?) woman out of me. Now I assume all other women are ho's and make all my life decisions based on this false assumption.

See: welfare mother who keeps having kids to get rich??? or something?

"Why would I vote for a primary party candidate who supports ranked choice voting when I can just throw my vote away on a third-party candidate that will never be elected? I've got principles!"

My .02? There's a large swath of "conservative" women who like the idea of going to church, being a stay-at-home mom, and having a husband that goes to work every day and provides for them. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that life.

But what they found out is the guys espousing that lifestyle actually want to treat their wife as property. There was a solid 30 years of momentum building around "maybe I don't want to have a two-income household, maybe I just want to be a mom". Unfortunately, while the women were thinking "we're partners in this household, I take care of the meals and the kids, you take care of making money" - the dudes were thinking "I own you, you do what I want, I do what I want, if you talk back, I'll put you in your place".

a federal abortion ban as president, despite his statements denying support for these things

They straight up asked him the question, and he refused to answer it. So, she didn't tell a "half truth" - he literally refused to say he would veto a national ban when directly given the opportunity to do so.

As for project 2025, it's his playbook. Whether or not he will specifically call it that, doesn't change the fact it's how he wants to dismantle the federal government.

Yeah, but she's simultaneously so powerful that she convinced several elected officials in New York to risk prison time by attacking one of her political opponents in exchange for...? Nothing? And oh by the way, he wasn't her actual political opponent when the prosecution started, 4D chess over there.

But also so stupid she couldn't pass the bar exam and can't form a complete sentence without a teleprompter.

Get with it folks!
