43. But isn't it more of an assassination than murder?

Mon Dec 9, 2024, 08:12 PM

Monday

I generally oppose the death penalty because of so many wrongful convictions. This case, being one drop in the bucket, is just intriguing. I think there's a similar attraction to those criminals attracted to trump because of his misdeeds, not in spite of them.

Our society has been built on fabricating our history. It has never been more obvious since the "anti-woke" "anti-DEI", "anti-black history" activists gained so much power.

I think we need to connect the dots in relation to outrageous inequality, greed by health insurance companies, and the anti-New Deal "radicals" who drive policy. FDR truly saved Capitalism. And their mindset refuses to be grateful for fear of being unable to use and abuse the system Capitalism drives. The New Deal truly did great and lasting work. Those who rejected it because of their love of unfettered Capitalism, are the anti-heros of a healthy society. I also think the upcoming abuse of AI is going to be a way for them to avoid legal accountability.
