He didn't just plead guilty to stalking, he pled to interstate stalking resulting in death. The shooting was part of his guilty plea today, not a separate action like you suggest.

Not that I really have any hope or faith in our justice system- the government holds all the cards, and they are making an example of him. Getting double jeopardy protection will be an uphill battle.

It's not just a single story, I think this is relatively common.

I worked as a server for 5 years and I received at least 2 of these fake bills as a tip.

I'm guessing this behavior is somewhat regional; my experience was in the deeply religious midwestern usa.

Finding the corporal husk of Lich McConnel is meaningless.

To end his unliving existence, you must find and destroy his phylactery.

Legend says it is stored in the deepest catacombs of the US Senate, protected by a magic barrier of a million eternally wailing working class souls.

This is shortsighted. We need to fight capital effectively, and to do that we must fight those who actively defend capital, including CEOs.

It's the same reason why police aren't considered working class. Are they "people who work"? Definitely. But their function in society is to maintain the power of capitalists.

Lammygrad are Marxist Leninist, Hexbear are dirtbag leftists. That makes them the natural enemies of center-left and centrist instances like .world.

In my opinion it comes down to a disagreement over capitalism. One side wants to destroy it, the other side wants to moderate it.

The word tsar/czar originally derives from Julius Caesar, just like the German "kaiser".

But in US terms, it was popularized by FDR during WWII.

In 1942, The Washington Post reported on the "executive orders creating new czars to control various aspects of our wartime economy."[11] Positions were created for a transportation czar, a manpower czar, a production czar, a shipping czar, and a synthetic rubber czar, all to solve difficult problems in coordinating the resources necessary to fight World War II wikipedia

Have we prosecuted any rich war criminals recently? It is telling that you have to go back to the Nazis, 80+ years ago was the last time that happened.

The ICC has prosecuted 54 individuals for war crimes, and 47 of them have been from Africa. Do you think war crimes are only happening in Africa? Or are the rest of the world's war criminals getting away with it?

Do you actually think we will see a trial for the biggest war criminals like Trump and Netanyahu?

Right, it's more about how the baseline changes over time.

10 years ago, ~14 pesos would trade for 1 USD.

Today, ~1400 pesos trade for 1 USD.

Wait, so now you have "consistently acknowledged" that the US has legalized slavery enshrined in the Constitution? This is very confusing, as we can all scroll up and see your earlier comments.

There is no form of slavery in the U.S. that is supported by either the government or the general public.

We do not have legal slavery.

A real patriot acknowledges their country's faults, no matter how difficult this may be. A real patriot does not stick their head in the sand and make excuses about "the faults of every other nation". I get the strong impression that you are not a real patriot.

The "horrendous social issue" at hand is forcing people to work without pay. Another word for this is "slavery". I'm sure you've caught on by now that the 13th amendment has a loophole for enslaving convicts.

Not sure how it's relevant, but I live in the US.
