        “Libs” is not a epithet that indicates the speaker is right wing.

        The right wingers want to destroy the evil government and be the CEOs. The lefties want to destroy the evil CEOs and be the government.

      Libs claim to hate Donald Trump and what he stands for, but damn if they don’t circle the wagons to protect the sociopathic, literally murderous greed machine that Trump’s entire persona is basically a totem/mascot/cartoon of.

      It’s like they don’t even know the theme of Trump’s gameshow that endeared him to his nitwits.

      Sorry neolibs, you cant separate out the greed from the racism and misogyny. The greed we’re Inculturated to indulge and encourage is every bit as monstrous as racism and misogyny, it merely has a better marketing team.

      Greed/racism/misogyny are all just flavors of elitist sentiment. “I’m a lot better than others, and thus deserve a lot more resources than others.”

    CEOs should be scared. Especially extra ghoulish industries like this.

    Make them feel like they need security.

    I mean, capitalism preaches the necessity of winners and losers. The owners demand there be millions upon millions of losers so they can win largely enough to buy pet mega yachts for their primary mega yachts.

    Guess he lost.

    Welcome to the free market baby.

    Oh I’m sorry, does that only apply to the innumerable members of our society dying of exposure and police capital defense force brutality in your local gutter for the crime of not generating enough value for the shareholders in the “wealthiest nation on Earth?”

    No one who is in a position to determine the life and death of millions should ever feel “safe” from the people they have the power to harm.

    French Royalty learned that the hard way. Maybe it’s time to remind people again.

        The cops said he waited in the freezing cold in one spot for ten minutes before taking the shot and fleeing down an alley to a bike he had waiting. This was 100% premeditated.

        In unrelated news, I have an erection that will probably last longer than 4 hours.

    As I said on other posts about this: Remember that jury nullification exists. If you’re on the jury for the shooter, or someone like him, you can just say not guilty and there’s nothing they can do to you. The court can’t tell you that you gave the “wrong” verdict.

    Just don’t tell them you’re going to nullify, because they’ll remove you from the jury.

    Think it’s time for Biden to redeem both himself and the institution of the Presidential Pardon.
