  • At this point, I am calling it. He is dead.

    The DOJ has walked itself into a corner. They say they are trying (which is a good faith argument keeping them out of contempt)but also say the courts can’t make them(this implies thay are not in good faith trying and should land them in contempt). If Xinis doesn’t hold the DOJ in contempt after today then you can kiss checks and balances goodbye.

    This is a very loose analysis by a guy who handles mostly medical malpractice and only knows what he has read in a couple of articles so don’t take my word for it.

    Edit: does to doesn’t











  • It gets better and better every day. Holy shit I couldn’t write this comedy. If it weren’t real life I would be rolling.

    Patel is in charge of the ATF and the FBI. Can’t hack both jobs, ghosts the ATF.

    These chucklefucks remove Patel and instead of finding someone from the 4-mile long list of law enforcement officials qualified to run the ATF, they pick the Secretary of the Army. Who also has a full fucking time job as Secretary of the Army.

    I am sure this will work out great, what does the Secretary of the Army do anyway? They both deal with Explosives and firearms. That’s 2 out of 4 yeah?

    Jesus Christ.






  • One of the most pressing issues in the United States today is the glaring deficiency of mental health facilities. It’s a delicate balance, though.

    On one hand, the need for spaces where individuals experiencing psychological crises can receive structured care and therapeutic intervention is undeniable. The availability of specialized treatment and crisis stabilization would alleviate pressure on social workers, emergency responders, and the broader healthcare system. For those unable to function independently, such facilities could offer sanctuary—an alternative to homelessness or incarceration.

    On the other hand, the financial burden cannot be ignored. Maintaining these institutions requires substantial investment—not only in infrastructure but also in the recruitment and retention of trained, compassionate staff. Then there’s the darker side: systemic abuse, corruption, and weaponization of psychiatric commitments. Historically, some have exploited these systems for personal gain—imagine a contentious divorce where one spouse seeks to have the other institutionalized for convenience. And we mustn’t forget the horrific abuses that plagued mid-century asylums: overmedication, dehumanizing treatments, and the lobotomy epidemic, which turned healing centers into dystopian nightmares.

    Even today, a visit to a poorly funded assisted living or skilled nursing facility offers a sobering glimpse into what happens when profit is prioritized over dignity. The truth is, we live in a society that often lacks empathy—where people, like products, are used and discarded. Until our culture shifts from commodifying human life to valuing it, the potential for harm in reinstating mental institutions may outweigh the benefits.

    Just my two cents—but I think it’s a conversation worth having.
