He’s never going to pay to help any of these people because he believes they are supposed to go to jail for him. He believes that’s part of the “plan” that only exists in his head.
He has even expressed the opinion on record that he thinks any loyal Republican should always take jail time to protect him and never speak against him. He really does think he’s a mafia boss
It’s the same sad song over and over… Trump uses somebody else to do his dirty work, then throws them under the bus. If there is no bus he’ll goddamn get one.
Why would anyone be stupid enough to work for Trump? It’s a career or life ender and a guaranteed jail sentence
Edit: he even on multiple occasions didn’t pay his lawyers. Why do people work with him?
what does that even mean?? It makes it sound like she was being held there without consent, but she's a child and no kidnapping is mentioned, so who put here there? What relation was the killer to the child? Where were her parents?
“makes it sound like she was being held without her consent”
That’s the first thing you think about when seeing “temporary custody”? Having custody of someone means you’re the person who has the responsibility of taking care of them. OP even used the word kidnapping in their post.
Heck, a babysitter has temporary custody of the kids she’s taking care of, why would OP not think about that first?
That raises so many other questions though, none will help make this case any less horrible, but it just feels like so many people failed this poor child in her short life (potentially her parents, but also whoever placed her in this situation and failed to ensure her safety), but probably only one will pay (as she should, of course, in case that wasn't clear)..
If you want a deeper look into just how child protection systems can fail so egregiously, have a watch of The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez. I work in child protection myself and it was eye-opening.
The whole article describes a strange situation. The “adults” where mad at the kids for not waking them and eating their food. Like what is even going on over here?
The headline really fucking buried the lede. This is not a story about a firearms instructor accidentally shooting someone. This is a story about extreme child abuse.
Runions told police that she had taken a 9 mm handgun out of its case, removed the magazine and called Evangaline over to “show her firearm safety.”
Runions pressed the barrel of the gun against the child’s chest and pulled the trigger, police said she told them.
The irony of calling this “firearm safety” is absurd. It’s being charged as first degree murder because nobody points a gun at someone’s chest and pulls the trigger unless they intend to kill.
Remember that story recently with the teenage girl who ran away from her abusive parents after 16 years to save her (also abused) siblings? One of the things she talked about was getting punished for the same
No matter how broke we were my mom always said that if I was hungry I should eat. She firmly believed nobody could be wrong for eating something if they were hungry and I carry that with me today.
I think most studies have found that restricting children’s food causes them to fail to develop the ability to regulate their own eating and leads to obesity in later life. It’s generally considered better to avoid bringing unhealthy food into the home, but allow children to eat what what is available when they are hungry.
“I’m so rich I could just buy the presidency- and that’s a good thing because then you know I’m not selling out to russia or something”… “now give me money so I can get elected!”
I assume you’re talking about Regan, but while I think he and Biden and Trump are/were too old to be president, the latter two don’t have obvious signs of Alzheimer’s.
They’re not so bad compared to McConnell or Feinstein.
In any case, Trump has a serious mental illness that is understated because of ethics rules. It’s just not solely cognitive decline. (It’s not that the 80 yo’s don’t have signs of decline. It’s that trump has a much worse and more obvious issue).
Trump had to go to the bail bondsman just like the rest of them did. What does that say about Trump’s ability to pay for other’s legal fees? If he can’t front the cash for bail directly himself, what makes these clowns think they are special?
