    True americans knew day one that this whole case is botched and ruined since the administration politicized it and the healthcare CEO’s made it to be WAY more than it was.

    Hopefully he is let go and we can start arresting and charge the criminals running our country right now. It’s gonna take years to charge all the people in the white house, so the sooner we start, the better.

          Bullshit. In sane countries, if a doctor bills a service, the insurance simply has to pay it. In most health systems, if a licensed doc bills what is a normal unexceptional standard procedure for a condition, the insurance simply has to pay it. They’re a licensed doctor. That’s just one of the powers of their position. If an insurance company thinks a doctor is committing fraud, they can haul them in front of the medical licensing board and make them justify their diagnoses and treatments. Sane countries simply do not allow insurance companies to arbitrarily deny coverage for non-experimental, non-cosmetic medical treatment. If a doc sets a broken arm, insurance isn’t even allowed to try and weasel their way out of covering it.

          Most medical systems around the world work like this - by simply trusting the judgement of state licensed physicians. They do this, and the sky doesn’t fall. And we’re the ones stuck with the most expensive medical system on the planet.

          Brian Robert Thompson, the serial killer that murdered 40,000 innocent people, did so by overruling doctors for profit by denying life saving medical care. In most countries his actions would have been a national scandal that would have seen him in a cell for the rest of his life. He was a mass murderer personally responsible for a dozen 9/11s. He literally dwarfed the body count of Osama bin Ladin.

      I have to disagree because I think this conclusion is a trap.

      The people listening to that stuff and eating it up? Yeah, dummies.

      The people SAYING that stuff though? It feels very intentional because it’s a win-win for them. At the beginning they get the base riled up, donating, and engaging with the propaganda machine. Then later on when Luigi suddenly gets off on a technicality, the outrage over that fuels even more furor, donating, and posting/watching.

      Conservatives live on outrage. It is irresistible to them. Especially to the white persecution complex ones like my extended family, god damn.

        Putin has been trying to get a “color revolution” going here for nearly two decades and Trump loves the idea because they think they could end local governance and any hint of new elections if that happens. That’s why you see rhetoric everywhere about how “you can’t fix this with elections” and “this only ends one way.”

              You remind me of Julius Streicher. He used the same evidence standards as you do. He argued that left wing violence was out of control. He did so, like you, not through statistics, but anecdote. He would demonize minority groups and ideologies by breathlessly posting the few crimes committed by them, while ignoring the overwhelming number of crimes committed by conservatives or the racial majority. Fascists thrive on anecdotes and hypotheticals and wither in the face of actual statistics.

              As for your buddy Streicher? We hanged him in 1946 at Nuremberg for crimes against humanity and incitement to genocide.

              “Right-wing extremists were responsible for the vast majority of domestic terror attacks and foiled or aborted plots in the past 30 years, followed by Islamic jihadis.”

              Yes, clearly it’s the left that’s the problem.

              “However, left-wing attacks were very rarely fatal with only two deaths since 2020 - Luigi Mangione’s alleged assassination of UnitedHealthcare boss Brian Thompson last year, and Michael Reinoehl’s fatal shooting of right-wing protester Aaron Danielson in Portland, Oregon, in August 2020.”

              Well, so much for your claim of “uptick in violent leftist extremism”. Two deaths, and that’s giving you Luigi Mangione as an extreme leftist, which itself is a pretty dubious claim.

              But hey, at least right wing attacks were down the last few years. I wonder why that might be?

              “CSIS said Joe Biden’s crackdown on far-right groups after the January 6, 2021, insurrection also helped, as it left extremist movements in disarray.”

              Oh hmm… well good thing all of those insurrectionists are still in jail so they can’t do any more harm. Oh…wait a minute…

        And after the DoJ historically having a 99%+ success rate in front of Grand Juries, this administration has had loss after loss, absolutely unprecedented.

        They don’t even get a chance to learn from their mistakes, because they just blame their losses on liberals, somehow. They are convinced that they are right in their legal strategies, so they keep on the same path, despite going over the same cliff, every time.

          We all know that’s because Trump insists on the DOJ following his orders even though he doesn’t understand the law, right?

          Under qualified Presidents, the DOJ was expected to maintain high standards of ethics and follow the law. That meant bringing indictments with enough evidence to win cases and not prosecuting cases when the evidence didn’t support them.

          Under the current clown-shoes administration, the DOJ is expected to bring indictments against anyone who hurt Little Donny’s feelings, regardless of the evidence. And (at least for now) the rest of the judicial system is still following the law, which means that those cases get no traction.

The 99% that always vote two-party really don’t give a fuck about anything other than what their favorite news broadcast tells them to, and all the news broadcasts villainized Luigi and tripped over themselves talking ad nauseum about Thompson being an innocent victim, and a family man, etc. etc. etc.

      Conservative Justification: You have to be patient, and give the process time to gain momentum. If you need to accelerate the process, then more conservative policies need to be implemented, more harshly.

          Their facial recognition software gave them some people that vaguely resembled the killer. They dug through their backgrounds and found a queer kid living in a youth hostel, someone estranged from their family. If you were going to pick an innocent person to pin this on, he’s the classic type. Cops have been pinning unsolved crimes on drifters and other undesirables for centuries.

          Want to know what I want to know? Where is Luigi’s workshop? That’s my question. How the hell do you print out, machine, refine, prototype, and build a 3D printed gun while living in homeless shelters and youth hostels?

          Printing a gun is not like printing a page on a laser printer. It can be done, but it requires a long iterative process and a whole workshop worth of tools. If you want to convince me Luigi made a 3D printed gun, then you damn well better be able to show me his workshop.
