The Trumpf junta is murdering people with callous indifference using "NHI." No Humans Involved in the deaths of starving or sick people in the Third World.

As of November 5th, it estimated that U.S.A.I.D.'s dismantling has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.

MAGAts are ecstatic over this.

MAGA is nothing more than a cult of hate.

Trumpers are definitely going to want him back for a 3rd term now.

It is said that a demon spawn of Satan comes to earth every so often and collects souls to replenish his coffers or whatever they do with Souls these days. It's like their evil demon power thing. Could it be that this is a demon spawn of Satan who is here to collect more souls for Satan? Maybe part of this whole UAP phenomenon?

I am not trying to imply anyone like he-who-shall-not-be-named is a demon spawn of Satan or anything. I'm just saying. I'm just asking a question!

Of course, arraignments could have been made to have other countries and organizations take over the
funding of these humanitarian aid projects.... but then, the cruelty would not have been as apparent.

Trump is trending towards Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot numbers, and he hasn't even started a war yet.

Am I my Brother's Keeper?

Cain asked.

Is Trump his Brother's keeper?

Denying aid that has been funded and is expected without any tapering or mitigation is Evil ----.

Trump is a Racist.

Trump is an Elitist pretending to be a Populist.

Only the really,really, Stupid, are convinced.

Anyone who thinks Trump cares about anything but his next drug enabled Hump or next big Grift is an Idiot.

Trump murders nearly half a million children... and Trumpers are damned proud of it.

Well, this is how Trump got elected, by demonstrating his clear hate of those with Black and Brown skins, for his devotion to the concept that the super rich should own everything, and have the best of everything and the people at the bottom should suffer and struggle and die many years before the Musk, Trump fascist gang.

Well I certainly hope you enjoy the fiery pits of hell as much as you enjoy watching other humans suffer on Earth.

First. Abortion is not murder and democrats have had a lot to say about it.


Also.. If you are "advocating" for something you obviously have to "say something". No Dem has ever "advocated" for the murder of children. Born or unborn. Not since the civil war.

Or did they advocate for it silently? Or was it just the very loud voices in your head? Sounds like it's getting harder for you to tell the difference.

And all they have is inane Whataboutisms.

Trumpers are guilty of their Cult Leader's crimes against humanity... and will some day pay for them.

Imagine if any other President had blatantly caused the death of half a million children... can't do it, can you?

Whataboutisms and outright lies.

Felony Murder

Felony murder is a legal doctrine where a person can be charged with murder if a death occurs during the commission or attempted commission of a dangerous felony, even if the defendant did not intend to kill or directly cause the death. Under this rule, all participants in the felony can be held liable for the death, which can include charges like first-degree murder.

The criminal intent needed is for the underlying felony, not the murder itself.
