Trump to take over D.C. Law Enforcement

[superrific]

This guy is Exhibit A of the modern day left - particularly in the age of Trump.
He's a professional attorney, 37 years old, who works with law enforcement as part of his job.
Yet, he can't control his emotions so he gets within a few inches of an officer yelling; "f**k you, f**king fascist."
Then, thinks it a good idea to hurl his sandwich at the officer and attempts to evade arrest.

Of all people who should be mocking attorneys for their behavior, you ain't it.

My absolute favorite thing about the sandwich throwing guy is that they sent TWENTY….TWENTY!… law enforcement officers to his apartment to arrest him. 20 officers to arrest a dude in a pink shirt who threw a submarine sandwich!

If that does not perfectly encapsulate what a completely emasculated movement MAGA is, the fact that official US government social media accounts are posting videos of it- of 20 uniform police officers wearing bulletproof fest and with riot gear, showing up to arrest a guy who threw a sandwich- is such a humiliating moment for a once proud country.

Let me be clear - I found what Luigi Mangione did abhorrent. I will never feel good about turning murders into heroes.

But this guy? I can get behind Sandwich Sean.

Erick Erickson calls it "nut picking" - both sides find the biggest nuts on the other side to highlight as allegedly representative of the other Party. I'm guilty of this ( it's fun) but there do seem to be a lot of ordinary left wingers who have a strong case of TDS and who have lost all control over their emotions and common sense. Clearly, and for the record, this doesn't apply to all or most Dems

I am definitely a "real" American with my families' roots going back to at least 1703 (first record appears in Charleston SC).

Erick Erickson? LOL. Erik Erikson was an insightful German psychologist. I guess the letter c ruins it.

The left doesn't have to "nut pick." Your nuts are in federal office. Across the board, your party in Congress routinely lies, bullshits, gaslights, prevaricates and confabulates to ends that are almost always self-destructive and immoral. Once again, you and your ilk talk about the truth as "TDS."

Every single thing that you motherfuckers derided as "TDS" has come true. Liberals didn't have TDS. We just saw things as they were. You were the jackasses who believed the lies. Do you think it's a coincidence that, of all the attorneys on the board, the one who knows the least about law is also a MAGA adherent? Even your own people called you the party of stupid (e.g. Bobby Jindal) and the party of crazy (Chris Christie).

That don't make you a "real" American, and certainly no more real than me. My ancestors came to the US in the early 20th century. I think my uncle might have discovered that my maternal grandmother's lineage goes back to the initial settling of the Puget Sound area, but I don't really know because I don't care at all. It matters not in the slightest to my self-conception, self-worth or pride.

Lol. Turns out you were SO on the wrong side of this issue.

Spoken like a true liberal lawyer. And I say that not as a dig, but in all sincerity. To you the ends justify the means. Doesn’t matter if you told a premeditated lie because your arrogance leads you to believe you know what’s better for people than they do. The act of intentionally lying to someone about their healthcare is evil. The end result is completely irrelevant to the act. That you weigh the morality of the lie on the result just makes you equally as scummy as those that told it.

My comment is still true. It was one of the most consequential lies ever told by a politician

You are one of the most deranged people I have ever encountered. You and fucking randman.

MAGA is the quintessence of Machiavellian thinking. In fact, Machiavellian thinking is a hallmark of the right-wing, as measured by personality studies. Nobody thinks the ends justify the means more than fucking evangelical Christians. It's a long tradition that dates way back to burning witches in order to protect the ethics of the community.

How do you measure "consequential" without looking at results?

I’m still struggling to understand how providing affordable health insurance to people who would otherwise not have it is such a bad thing.

No doubt he will be a role model for the left.

Lacks impulse control - check
Screamed “FASCIST” in the faces of people who probably don’t want to be there in the first place - check (bonus points for the word fascist)
Threw something - check - shows he has potential as a future rock thrower
Lawyer - check - the scummier the better

He might be poster worthy for you guys.

Here's a real American.

There would be a lot of illegal immigrants to deport!

Find the humor in the absurdity of it all. Laughter is our best defense against the dark.

As it turns out that was one of the most consequential lies ever told by a politician. Tricked a lot of people into supporting obamacare

I kept mine. Y'all do know that ObamaCare = RomneyCare without paying for abortions and a compromise idea for HillaryCare by the Heritage Foundation. Obama wanted universal care.

I know people have self-immolated on national television. Has anyone ever posted a self-castration to the web before now? I genuinely don't know. But congrats if you're breaking new ground here, calla.

I was actually OK with a cooperative deal between the Feds and DC police.

But, Trump and Bondi had to go full Nazi

DC sues Trump admin over move to sideline MPD chief, calls it ‘hostile takeover'

Less than 12 hours after the Trump administration seemingly replaced Washington, D.C.’s, police chief with a federal officer, the District is headed to federal court to block the move. D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb filed a lawsuit against the federal government Friday, claiming President...

Politically, Dems need to be careful about falling into the trap.

Focus on Epstein, BBB, Inflation, Health Care, the Economy, Putin. Stay on the plus 70/30 issues!

I condemn the lie and the arrogance. People’s healthcare is sacred. Be honest and let people decide for themselves.
I acknowledge and respect the perseverance and drive to change a broken system.

It’s still broken and more needs to be done.

And the 'pubs are there every step of the way blocking everything they can and trying to profit on what they can't.

BBB will brake it.

ACA stabilized health care costs in the US as a % of GDP at about 17%. That's the bottom line. Could it be improved by merging Medicare, Medicaid, ACA as US Health for efficiency? Yes. Could more emphasis be on prevention? Yes. Could there be a lower cost optional public Premium Health Care option coupled to the new US Health to lower $$ and improve clinical outcomes? You bet.


BBB will balloon health care costs with worse outcomes, especially for those in rural areas and in blue states..

Maybe start a thread on that issue
