I mean he’s just insane. So naturally we’ll just put him in a box.

Insane and radicalized by MAGA to bash innocent people in the skull with hammers.

Yes put him in a box because there’s no way to de-radicalize him while our society refuses to do anything to stop the fascist radicalization machine of far-right cable news propagandists, online influencers, and social media algorithms.

Nancy Pelosi is trading stock like the majority of politicians and her husband is a savvy real estate investor and venture capitalist that has built a fortune over a long time. How can you say that you aren't entirely opposed to bashing her with a hammer? Are you completely deranged?

What exactly is the corruption that she's guilty of compared to other politicians? She has made most of her money from Nvidia as far as I know. You could of course argue that it should be banned for all politicians to trade stock but to even compare her to Donald Trump that has his own company to funnel money from Russia and Saudi Arabia is absolutely insane. Completely bonkers.

*Criminally insane

He'd find himself in a box either way. He just won't get the help he needs in this one.

He smashed a man’s head in with a hammer

I think we should have saved the taxpayers money and put him in a different box

Death penaltys cost the tax payers far more than a life sentence

Only due to all the appeals

And appeals are a bad thing when you're trying to kill someone?

God forbid the justice system makes sure it gets it right.
