UnitedHealth CEO Assassinated
The murder of UnitedHealthcare's CEO is a strange story. On the one hand, the killer obviously was taking steps to avoid getting caught. He was wearing a hoodie. He used a silencer. He clearly had an escape plan.
On the other hand, he was wearing a distinctive backpack. He may have left a food wrapper and a water bottle at the scene. And there was writing on each of the three shell casings (the words "deny," "defend," and "depose").
I've worked out a simple flow chart to work out this complex problem.
Will it benefit tRUmp financially? Y/N
If Y, he will do it.
If N, he won't.
Hope this helps!
Problem is there are many things that we don't know exactly if they benefit trump (and his close allies he wants to reward, or viceversa punish people he likes to punish) financially or not
It isn't just about preparation. You would be asked questions like the following:
--Have you already formed an opinion that the death of the victim was justified?
--Have you ever told anyone that the death of this victim was justified?
--Do you have views about the health care industry in the United States that would make you unable to fairly evaluate the evidence in this case?
Sure. You can answer no to these questions and other similar questions. But in all likelihood, it will be clear to t
I'll chime ina swe've disucess th is before.
I'd have no problem answering those questions truthfully. I'd then decide whether to nullify based on the details and the charge/likely sentence.
Wait a minute, you're the guy who wants it to be legal for governments to execute citizens who don't support its values.
Surely questions of whether someone is rationally or irrationally evil are irrelevant in your dream world?
You the guy who stalks me claiming i claimed things i never claimed all the times.
That's an example of irrational evil

I agree.
But it's usually easy and reliable to reverse engineer the process and figure it out. Sometimes that even gives you more information than you had previously.

it isn't. two big examples out of many.
1) TikTok ban flipflop (and currently unknown). Trump was in favor then against then in favor then against and now we don't know. byte dance stockholders donated a ton to Trump but what else is going on with financial effects on trump, his family, and his allies? we don't know.
2) war against EV. Trump has been talking badly about electric cars, California mandates and so on for a while. Musk comes and wins the election for him and he didn't stop talking bad about EV. Biden gave California the waiver now to allow the insane EV sales mandate to come in force, Trump talked against it, intends to litigate it.
what's up financially for the trump circle there? he has powerful allies and donors that hate EVs and powerful allies and donors that make money with EVs. net effect on actual policy completely unclear

btw to be clear: this is how it always worked for any party in any country. political parties are represrntatives of interest groups predicated on benefitting a portion of society in zero sum games while stealing from other portions of society.
That's what politics is all about all the times in all countries.
and politicians always act in their perceived self interest, that of their families, and their allies. as all rational people on all walks of life always do.
that it is more transparent for Trump is good if it makes you all understand it was always like this for every participant in the game since we developed agriculture.
CNN article arguing that the first degree murder charge might be an overreach by the prosecution as terrorism is a bit more narrowly defined as "intent to intimidate or coerce the civilian population or a government unit" than how I would define it. Some of the arguments in the article seem specious but you all can read it and judge for yourselves.
It doesn't seem reasonable to pick the worst examples of hoarding to try to refute the whole idea.
I wasn't refuting the merits of hoarding. I was illustrating that the government is likely cautious to warn the public about something potentially dangerous because the last time they did people went full-tard.

They cancelled the biggest event in sports. Sure covid turned out to be nothing but people didn't know that at the time.
Right, which brings us back to toilet paper. If it seemed like such an event, then why toilet paper?
Well it was a lot more than toilet paper. I went to a Walmart in peak covid madness-- lots of shelves were completely empty. Guy was running around with a mask over his eyes with little holes cut out so he could see. People were having a blast but you couldn't buy much.

there were ammo shortages in 2020 but a bit later than the spring.
after unprecedented marxist riots were allowed to flourish in tens of major cities in the "summer of Floyd" people bought a lot of ammos

MERIDIAN (Idaho Statesman) – Gun sales throughout the United States surged 40% in 2020, a slightly larger increase than Idaho saw, and it has left ammunition manufacturers scrambling to meet the needs of firearms owners.
“It’s just supply and demand,” Dave Freshwater, president of Idaho Arms and Ammo in Meridian, told the Statesman in a phone interview. “Demand is about tenfold over normal and everything in the firearms industry is really scarce: guns, ammo, parts, accessories. Everything has been difficult to come by.”
The coronavirus pandemic. Protests over the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and the deaths of other minorities at the hands of law enforcement. Civil unrest. The presidential election. They all contributed to more people arming themselves, Fishwater said.
it happened in many states including blue ones, in area were psychopaths tried to "defund the police" and so on.
I certainly wouldn't agree with defunding the police , but advocating for is hardly an indication of psycopathy.

As always, I wish the left in America was 1/10th as radical as the right pretends that they are. What percentage of the George Floyd protesters were Marxist? 2%? At most, 5%? No, the vast majority of the protestors were typical libs upset at the police needlessly killing black people.
I also wish that Luciom will look up the word "unprecedented" and then learn about American riots in previous eras. People actually were killed, in multiples, in the riots of the past. What did the evil Marxists do in 2020? Smash the windows of a Starbucks? Flip over an empty police car? As always, the right is about property over people.

Media fearmongered its consumers into believing violence would somehow be done onto them during George Floyd protests. Said consumers then did what the average scared-to-death American does, which is to buy guns.
LOLing that the first thing "Dave Fishwater" brought up as the scary trends in our culture which guns can protect us from is... COVID. My man is gonna start blasting every time he sees a spike protein!
Dumb people are going to think this was about TYRANNY instead of stupid shook Americans being needlessly stupid and shook.
Luciom is a big fan of these non-psychopaths:

Unprecedented marxists riot. There were other riots in the past, but to the best of my knowledge those weren't marxist riots. BLM is a marxist organization with self-identifying marxist founders. And portland antifas are marxists as well.
They pillaged and burnt more than 50 times in a summer, in many major cities.
I don't care about protesters which were exercising their constitutional rights. I care about the rioters, and those were overwhelmingly marxists. Including the 2 killed in self defense by Rittenhouse

If the amount of destruction that these "riots" caused = X, then the amount of destruction that conservatives imagine these "riots" caused = ~50X
Meanwhile Luciom is silent on the far right riots in the UK last summer.
Feds going for the death penalty. Good use of resources when faced with impending shuts down. Much DOGE
