Sounds like the US population is down to bring out the guillotine. Let's do this.

And yet this country chose to elect a president who has in no uncertain terms said he will dissolve Obamacare which will only give more money and power to the CEOs of shitty healthcare companies.

Obamacare is a pretty huge handout to insurance companies anyway.

To be fair, people tried to shoot him too.

But the reason many voted for him, or simply didn't vote at all was because the traditional poloticians weren't helping either. Kind of a "banging my head against this wall hasn't worked, let try this other wall."

More like "let's blow myself up together with the wall, that'll show it!"

I'm a ghoul because I take delight in seeing this happen and hope these people feel genuinely afraid to leave their mansions.

He was a ghoul because his decisions lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths and a leading cause of homelessness just to see a line go up.

We are not the same.

Hey now, that's no solution at all.

If they're too scared to leave their homes, they'll be harder to assassinate.

It is good to see the viewpoint of people working in health care. That they were afraid of being attacked over denied claims they have no control over, and that they see someone shot who was actually one of the guilty.

People who claim to hate violence need to learn about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_violence immediately

TIL about "Adultisim"

I'm really not in favor of murder but its impossible to honestly argue against the idea that the world is a better place without that arsehole in it. Lets not discount the pain and tyrany that American health care companies inflict on their memebers, who count themselves lucky to have any health care at all. (Except for Kaiser, I love Kaiser).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

I dont think capital punishment is considered murder.
