Play as a Republican on social media and sow division?

Thank you.

The fact he actually has a plan this time is what’s most concerning to me. That and the fact that the only person in the Democratic party showing leadership is AOC. That’s what’s got me really shook.

Aah, ok. I read an article about this dude. I hope he servives the ordeal!

Tell me more about mole dump. I’m unfamiliar. From the context, I assume it’s an info dump from a mole…

Yeah, I agree, but only somewhat. I’m not informed enough to know whether your assumption that there wasn’t continuous effort to put that into law is correct. Definitely I agree in principal! I have a significant amount of frustration with our representatives that haven’t pulled through.

Well, they’re not interested in the rule of law and believe themselves untouchable. They’ve curried immense favor with the paramilitaries by pardoning the J6 traitors and now have their own personal army.

They may not need legislation.

I kinda had the same feeling after reading it, I’m disappointed that I wasn’t surprised, as in, I kind of figured the cops were all in these groups anyway but the confirmation doesn’t give me the feel goods.

Realistically speaking, there are some good ones. Practically speaking, if you aren’t acting as if they’re all bad, you’re a fool.

Agreed on punitive justice though.

More crime? Great! Make more money for the cops (overtime) and the private prisons. Gotta keep OCP in business!

This, I think, is a symptom of the failure to properly treat mental illness.

Nobody in their right mind does this.

Came here to say this; The state’s actions show a disturbing pattern where they:

1. Refused to help Brittany Wise with $10,000 in housing debt when she proactively asked for assistance to keep her family together

2. Then spent at least $6,200 per month (likely much more given special needs) to separate her children and place them in foster care - far exceeding what it would have cost to simply help with housing

3. Made her children’s situation actively worse by:

   • Splitting up siblings who previously lived together
   • Placing children with behavioral challenges in unstable situations
   • Having some kids spend nights in DFCS offices due to lack of placements
   • Traumatizing a 9-year-old who just wanted to celebrate his birthday with his mom

4. Choice of policy priorities is telling: The state dedicates less than 0.5% of its $450 million family preservation budget to housing assistance, despite housing being the third most common reason for separating families

The math alone exposes the reality - this isn’t about costs or helping families. If it were, they would spend the smaller amount on housing assistance rather than the larger amount on foster care. The system seems designed to punish poverty by taking children from struggling parents rather than helping stabilize families in crisis.

When the state chooses to spend more money to break up a family than it would cost to keep them together, that reveals the true priority isn’t the wellbeing of children or fiscal responsibility - it’s exerting control and punishing parents for being poor.

Ooh, interesting angle. I hadn’t considered that at all. Thanks internet stranger!

At least they’ll be dumb enough that they’ll believe it when Trump gets blamed for it… I wait, that won’t happen, he’ll never leave office.

Wheeeeeeeeeee!

I saw the video of this. Everyone just watched her burn… I just can’t with people anymore.

So is this why he’s trying to reclaim the Panama canal? https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/23/politics/panama-canal-history-trump/index.html

Seems like a good way to bury the story in the search results and bully Panama into making the story go away.

Some quick googling shows anthem and UHC (shocker) have been specific culprits with this, being the subject of legal action (Atzin, et al. v. Anthem, Inc., et al., Case No.: 2:17-cv-6816 ODW (PLAx) and Trujillo and Harden v. Unitedhealth Grp. Inc., et al., Case No. SACV 17-2547-JFW (KKx) (C.D. Cal. 2019)) regarding their denial of claims.

Helpful?

I feel like I’m Chidi Anagonye. I feel like murder is always wrong, but on the other hand, the death of this man has immediately changed insurance approval rates and almost certainly saved more than one life.

I don’t advocate violence and at the same time, I can’t help but see the justice.

So you live in a world that isn’t run by the rich?

I wonder who RFK got his idea from.
