  • Prosecutors say Luigi Mangione, accused of killing the CEO of UnitedHealthcare on a Manhattan sidewalk, has inspired others to embrace violence over reasoned debate.

    Wtf is "reasoned debate" supposed to mean when you're discussing for-profit, killing machine, only making money for investors and CEOs, healthcare????

    Jfc.

  • Witkoff met with Putin on Aug. 6, and a day later held a call with several European leaders detailing the plan which would see Ukraine ceding full control of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in return.

    Four U.S. and European officials speaking anonymously to Reuters said that many participants on the call were caught off guard and were "startled" at the proposal as they had different expectations of Putin’s intentions.

    The next day, on Aug. 8, Witkoff reversed his stance. According to one of the sources, during a call organized by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio with European national security advisers, Witkoff clarified that Putin was not offering to withdraw from Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.

    Reuters also reports that Witkoff — a real estate mogul with no previous diplomatic experience — went to the meeting with Putin without a U.S. State Department notetaker, thus breaking standard protocol and not having a record of Putin’s proposals.

    The level of utter stupidity and incompetence continues to astound me.

  • “It’s just directly extracting wealth from our communities and giving it to high-income people. And it’s blatant. It’s not subtle at all,” Lisa Doerr, a Wisconsin hay farmer and advocate with Sustain Rural Wisconsin Network, tells Sentient. When any type of company typically opens in a city, they’re charged taxes. Because the financing for the digester was via municipal bonds, the financing was tax-exempt. The $41.5 million project has defaulted on its principal payment, reducing the likelihood of project longevity, and therefore, future tax revenue that could go toward schools and other public services in Gillett.

    Typical grift by big corps to fuck Americans. This is the type of shit that starts civil wars.

  • "The dehumanized image created of the enemy—commonly portrayed as depraved and evil, thus meriting cruelty and retaliation—during protracted conflict would enable perpetrators to kill and maim and the rest of the community to support such actions through moral disengagement. The fear of what happens if a demonized enemy is not overcome—or at least contained—would become a justification for perpetuating or even escalating violence." Source

  • It seems Trump is looking to kill off thousands (or tens of thousands) of Americans come fall/winter for some unknown and ridiculously stupid reason.

    I'm truly sorry for those of you who have no choice in the matter.

  • It disgusts me that Canadian politicians have fully adopted the idea that we are, singularly, a resource nation. That this land that we temporarily live on should somehow only be used to make money for those who extract resources.

    Fuck them all. Seriously. They should be treated like small children who haven't learned to clean up after themselves ... except in this case they should be paying Billion dollar fines for every instance of pollution.
