Oh I've got a great imagination. If Trump was rightfully held accountable for his sedition,espionage & insurrection that he committed he would have already along with his co-conspirators been executed on The gallows.
Trump and his family are a part of the ruling class. The ruling class protect their own. And here’s the uncomfortable part- they protect their own on both sides of the aisle. Of course there’s no real interest. It’s a production that was for show.
The fact that nothing happened in regards to Trump and every illegal thing has done, should tell the American people the justice system is only for the poor. The presidency is now a Oligarchy
Funny how NYPD identified CEO Thompson’s assassin in just 3 days, but FBI after 4 years, with all their resources, geofencing, technology and surveillance cameras on every corner, can’t ID the DC bomber.
I should clarify that I was referring to the interest among law enforcement, as I can see as well as anyone else can that there is very little interest among the general population in the apprehension of this killer
As far as whether it's just that a murderer be apprehended, I hate the insurance industry as much as anyone alive but if you think this is a feed that's going to promote violence and lawlessness and vigilante justice and assassinations you really do not know anything about its author
Russian intimidation to stoke violence?
11/28: Putin says Trump isn’t safe after assassination attempts.
12/4: An assassination of a CEO is carried out.
12/7: Trump wears a suit with Ukrainian flag colors appearing with Zelensky and Macron in Paris. An FU to Putin?
A murder of a CEO should never be elevated to an “assassination.” It implies some special treatment which they should not get from public sources and tax $.
I don’t condone the murder but instead of a wake up call to UH, the person taking over doubles down on denying “unnecessary medical” that DOCTORS want their patients to have. But it’s a business, not health care I guess.
You’re correct. Promoting violence like that, no matter the target, is harmful. I had to go through a metal detector at a Christmas market at a fairgrounds yesterday, because of fears of people carrying guns and their inclination to use them. I hope we haven’t passed the point of no return on this.
I hate how this conversation is being overshadowed by the narrative that a majority condone the murder. While some may hold that view, most do not. Yet, as with so much during this election, that vocal minority is drowning out the real and necessary discussion, which is...
Insurers become rich by wrongfully denying life saving treatments for paying customers. Millions of people are brutalized in their most vulnerable hour. The need to curb this power absolutely deserves "victimless drastic tactics."
Are they that interested? Sure, they're cops, but they're not millionaires, and I'd bet more than a few aren't feeling too motivated to catch the killer.
It’s an inside job
How can we avoid billionaires ( Blackrock UHG etc )and trillionaires NOT finding the shooter?
They’re even saying the ceo offed himself now
That will save them from paying insurance monies out
Imagine if DOJ was as interested in Rule of Law as they are at protecting Donald Trump!
DOJ would not arrest him because of a memo!
SCOTUS provide protection because trump is SPECIAL!
DOJ would not continue to prosecute him because of a memo!
I just don’t understand how expending such vast resources to apprehend someone who directly killed one person who indirectly killed [who knows how many a day] is the right thing to do. Spend that money and person-power on stopping domestic violence or on serving the unhoused (rightfully).
I care about fellow humans, and it would be great to get the guy off the street - crime is crime. Murders happen all the time to people who aren't wealthy or pretty. This has caused the biggest media commotion. Do they need a juicy whodunnit to get people to turn on the news again?
Weird how it's always incumbent upon the populace to make sure the most financially secure cowards are the ones most coddled by fear abatement techniques. Aka.... you don't get "hunted" down if ya k*lling off the poor and downtrodden. That's just business. Lordy, tho if you "taint" one of the rich
That would be nice. I love your post. But for 10 years all these pundits have been saying Trump is going to jail. He’s not. None of these billionaires, or politicians, or justices will. They are all now protecting each other
I remember when law and order were a standard practice. When justice was served in the courts. Don the con has not yet paid his dues. America is disgraced by stupid and corrupt people.
Majority of people in the red get their info from the right-wing propaganda machine, not only do they not want to arrest Trump, they don't know about most of the hideous behavior legal, ethically, morally or his character flaws. The right-wing propaganda machine now owns the narrative nationally
Tomasky's the first I've seen actually cover this seriously. As a 24 y.o. MA to Confederacy transplant in '78 I've watched this grow from Limbaugh 3hrs/day on every 4x4 radio to FOX News in every living room & lobby bashing the Left as evil and it's only grown exponentially https://bsky.app/profile/newrepublic.com/post/3lcar4yuih224
In states like Arkansas, where I’m often surrounded by opposing narratives, I’ve learned that discernment in civic engagement is key. Thatcher’s balance of respect and accountability offers a roadmap for fostering justice in flawed systems. Dive deeper in Bridges of Hope:
I followed back on my main account @mj34hig44.bsky.social , until Bluesky develops notifications to include notifying selected accounts for every post I'll have to keep this one narrowed down to mostly reporters & pols for 'breaking news' type posts.
You're not going to compete with the constant roar of the right-wing propaganda machine with substack posts or podcasts. The right wing propaganda machine has Fox News = flagship, then 2 other networks OAN & Newsmax brainwashing millions w/ the help of tons of podcasts and YouTube etc outlets
Trump is certainly helped by Putin but they're just capitalizing on what this country's been since the 1850s when enough Americans finally came to the realization slavery just isn't right to start passing legislation opposing it. That's the foundation for all we have currently.
You are certainly correct that it is but a drop in the ocean, but if nothing else it keeps a hopeful outlook for my family. We also have been writing all our elected officials, regardless of the fact we didn’t vote for them.
At least at the Justice Department. But the establishment must capture the assassin and make an example of him to discourage others from taking shots at the oligarchs.
I believe we should continue in apprehension mode of the biggest and worst criminal in the world. We are done with the billionaire club. The adjuster still has work to do.
What about the resources dedicated to finding the killer of ONE RICH WHITE GUY? There are 1800 unsolved homicides in NYC. Are the same resources given those investigations? Never mind it’s a rhetorical ?. @nypd @newyorkfbi
All we see is the State willing to turn its immense power on anyone but rich people. It’s almost like this was part of the intended outcome - to highlight the disconnect between the classes and how the State treats them.
I disagree. The DOJ took way to long to start proceedings and where blocked by Trump loyalists in the DOJ. Also choosing Florida as the venue was dumb and arrogant.
Was Merrick Garland's failure caused by bad judgment? Or was it intentional? Most of us are people of good will, so we assume that other people also are, and that failures like this are a "mistake." But when a mistake is so consequential, is that assumption a smart one?
I was devastated then but didn't see it as the end of democracy, and knew that it didn't represent most of the electorate. You were ahead of me in that regard. Kind of the difference between cataclysmic and apocalyptic.
Then I was blindsided by the fact that a third of our fellow citizens were hateful deplorables. Now they are still hateful deplorables plus we have another 17% who are selfish, greedy and/or dumb. We need to work on education.
they won't let us. If I was a parent of school age children still, I'd be looking for some serious enrichment of what they'll be learning in public school, because it won't be much. Critical thinking skills, history...none of that.
I think it's pretty clear that most in powerful positions decided to take the coward's way out and pass the Trump problem to someone else. Senate Republicans didn't. Merrick Garland also shirked his duty. The Supreme Court not only passed, but endorsed Trump's actions. The media failed, too. Pity.
Don’t worry, Seth. Merrick Garland has been put in charge of the UHC assassination case, so we can expect the gunman to be caught by 2028, with charges filed in 2036
Hopefully they find him, try him in front of a jury and let the people decide if he should go to prison or not. 11 people in a room couldn’t beat a guilty verdict outta me
It’s mind blowing to me that people are fine with this murder. When they should really be angry at for-profit healthcare in general, and shareholders in particular. You reap what you sow.
The biggest malpractice of Biden was that he neither brought the hammer down on Trump in Jan 2021 nor exonerated him. Like he did the worst of both worlds. Either lock him up or don’t go after him and give him ammo for his martyr complex.
yep...& never even tried to expand SCOTUS to be balanced, ran on expanding SSA & did nothing about that, started drilling again, did nothing to stop Roe ban, Dems in congress could have impeached Kav, Amy & Neil for lying per Roe & Biden never encouraged them...he's betrayed democracy!

See Jan 6th, retribution, mass deportations, military tribunals, Hunter, etc.
That is not me
I think many people unconsciously view this through the lens of self-defense whether they articulate as much, or not.
11/28: Putin says Trump isn’t safe after assassination attempts.
12/4: An assassination of a CEO is carried out.
12/7: Trump wears a suit with Ukrainian flag colors appearing with Zelensky and Macron in Paris. An FU to Putin?
Oligarchs would ❤️this…

It's a form of normalization and desensitisation.
Also, here was a school shooting in CA but we were forced to focus on this manhunt
DOJ would not arrest him because of a memo!
SCOTUS provide protection because trump is SPECIAL!
DOJ would not continue to prosecute him because of a memo!
Yes, we are THAT STUPID!
... Hunter Biden.
so can he

We aren’t going to go quietly into the night.
bc otherwise you'll create a martyr
His ability to delay by $$$$ inane motions and a corrupt, naive judge was never expected.
SCOTUS delay of a year and heinous last day ruling was also never expected.
Why is he always “winning”? His corruption is seen plainly - but never to see a trial court.
Frankly, if I met him, I'd probably help him get out of the country.🤷🏿♂️
