Congressman Dean Phillips (D-MN), everyone. But what tone of voice do you read "sick" in?

Aww, that's cute, he thinks it's still 2002 and ”killing terrorists” is a thought terminating debate move instead of the empty rhetoric used to justify anything that everyone's been seeing through for 20 years.

About two years ago I was sat in the audience for a talk by a very earnest, experienced speaker addressing the challenges of aid work in various places across the globe and they (briefly) mentioned terrorism as one aspect of a compilation alongside war. And I swear my mind basically just skipped over it for a second as if rolling it's eyes. It took a minute for me to conciously remind myself that in this instance it was being used correctly and earnestly. After an adult lifetime of it being a facile buzzword through The Troubles, followed by the West's global profit-backed religious crusades, the word terrorism reflexively indicated that this wasn't going to be a serious point by a serious person and I could skip the next part.

I wonder for how many more, especially of the late Gen X to millennial to now generations, hear it the same way? Not as a thought terminating cliché, but an instant indicator that you're desperately scaremongering and totally full of shit.

I’ll even give him the obviously-untrue benefit of the doubt and assume for the sake of argument that by “terrorists” he means ISIS and not the heroes fighting against Nazi invasion. We’ll start there, because I assume Dean Philips and I can both agree that ISIS is bad.

I still support the death of a CEO in midtown more than killing members of ISIS. To be quite honest, ISIS doesn’t have that much impact on my life. This motherfucker is quite literally personally responsible for me not getting my anti-depression treatment.

I was supposed to do TMS last year but United threw a fit about covering it. I was also supposed to do a genetic screen to assess if certain medications would even work, and United wouldn’t cover that either.

Fuck that guy, he’s done far more evil than any member of ISIS, I hope hell is real so he’s burning there.

“Killing terrorists” cool phrasing you’ve got there buddy. Does that include the children in the pediatric hospital?

And yeah, conducting an indiscriminate bombing campaign, mass starvation, systemic sexual abuse and any other crime from list of inhuman barbarity against the entire civilian population of a region is totally the same as killing this one CEO who has blood on his hands with zero collateral.

There upset because there wasn't any collateral.
Out of all the posting, this one is like a honeypot

seems like dummies in support of genocide in gaza also support private healthcare companies genociding poor americans through claim denials.

predictable.

Why can't my enemies be respectable and have a conventional army?

-Dean Philips (D-MN)

Because most of them would be in school had the US not helped bomb them all.

No ISIS member ever denied me coverage (you do not gotta hand it to them)

And they probably wouldn't if they had the power to, unless you're American, at which point, yeah, they probably would

Damn you can smell the anti-arab racism

Philips was CEO of multiple companies himself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Phillips

Phillips has both owned and started several companies in addition to serving as president and CEO of his family's liquor business, the Phillips Distilling Company. He is the former co-owner of Talenti gelato and co-owns Penny's Coffee.

Oh, it’s this fucking loser, says a lot that I made a comment earlier this year making fun of him, but now I couldn’t even recognize the name.
- primaried a sundowning dementia-ridden incumbent and got way fewer votes (529,664) than uncommitted did (706,591)
Wish he had the talenti to shut the fuck up

🤙

You could have told me this was a tweet from some far right congressman in Louisiana and I’d believe you.

Well yeah, I wouldn't expect a tweet from a far right politician from Louisiana to look that different than one from a far right politician from Minnesota

He should be more careful. Didn't he read that other book?

Better pick it up before it gets yanked as terrorist propaganda or something. But thanks for making the connection.

Why Insurance Companies Don't Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It.

An expose of insurance injustice and a plan for consumers and lawmakers to fight back. Now a Kindle version of the hard-hitting original. The denial of valid insurance claims is not occasional or accidental or the fault of a few bad employees. It's the result of an increasing and systematic focus on maximizing profits by major companies such as Allstate and State Farm. Citing dozens of stories of victims who were unfairly denied payment, the book explains how people can be more careful when shopping for policies and what to do when pursuing a disputed claim. It also lays out a plan for the legal reforms needed to prevent future

Now with a forward from
Ah yes, the bicycler's guide offing insurance CEOs

seems like leftists disagree with me, a democrat, about everything. hmmmm

Death to America

A vote for Bart is a vote for anarchy!

This one right here

I don't see no dead women, children or any bystander with this killing of this "innocent" CEO.

democrats every other second of every day: ""Left" what is a "the left"? Well, anyway, it seems there are no good solutions here guys. Sorry! Just die!"

democrats when someone mocks a billionaire: "I have concluded that Adolf Hitler was correct. We have to purge these young people making ridiculous demands for healthcare and to end extreme wealth inequality!"

No "terrorist" has ever denied me healthcare.

Nah, terrorists like Brian Thompson have definitely denied you healthcare mate
- That's why he put quotes around "terrorist", he's not referring to actual terrorists he's referring to the ppl this ghoul is calling terrorists
  
  EDIT: NVM I just saw the first comment was edited, I'm guessing that he probably edited it to add the quotes

because Palestinians are being killed because of their religion/ethnicity by a settler colonial state, not their class status. As BE said:

It's worth following this with the counterpropaganda out there that just being a CEO isn't the reason people celebrate. It's because of the real and actual harm that being CEO of a large health ~~insurance~~ hedge fund entails.
ACAB stands for Assigned CEO At Birth
BadEmpanada? CEO's must be like Ukrainians to him. Another group of innocent sheep targeted for no reason and totally unprovoked.
- Its pretty clearly a joke

Has anyone seen high profile Republicans publicly mourning this douche? Aside from this asshole, I also saw recent vice presidential loser Tim Walz mourning the tragic loss to the "business community".

It's such a shame that the ultra reactionaries have the basic instinct to just shut the fuck up and say nothing when something like this happens and the "progressive" party doesn't.

Tim Walz mourning the tragic loss to the "business community"

Tragic loss for the Democratic money laundering scheme.

SCARY MIDDLE EAST OOOOOOOOEEEEEEH

Fine Dean Phillips, since you are a Democrat let’s compromise.

For every terrorist you kill in the Middle East, you also have to get one CEO in America.

i think killing terrorists hasn't been particularly effective

i think killing ceos is worth as long and high-budget of a try as was put into killing terrorists

A guy on a bike killing a CEO with a handgun is far more cost effective than firing a missile from a drone to kill one enemy combatant, costing probably hundreds of thousands. I'm sure both the dead CEO and this ghoul Democrat would appreciate that.

Hmm I wonder what Dork-ass Dean’s stake in this is? https://www.opensecrets.org/personal-finances/dean-phillips/net-worth

Anyway love to see the replies piling on him lol

The way I read it should be accompanied by shredding on an air guitar

oh ya the joke candidate guy that was on dipshit sirota's dumbass podcast talking about how the problem with democrats is the woke mind virus and not being soulless corporate automatons parroting state department lines and selling out the nearest available minority for 6 votes from the southern living demographic. i hate that i know any of that btw

David Sirota is such a shithead liberal zionist. wrote a garbage antisemitic piece conflating zionism and judaism after October 7th

Minnesota politicians have been absolutely insufferable. They're really showing their whole ass about who they care about: companies headquartered in Minnesota.

Maybe some brave Minnesotan could take matters into their own hands

who-must-go

🤙 SICK 🤙

fellow-kids

Sick as in sick like a badass method air or front side smith

Hell yea brother

Honestly pissing myself laughing picturing him saying "sick 🤙" like a surfer bro hahahahahaha

sicko-yes

Damn that is so sick of us

come to minnesota, we have democrats that are bircherites

Only thing I'm against is the bystander who had to see that. But they got away fine and that's somethings out of the shooters control. Break a few eggs, hope they get good therapy watching someone die and also a book deal for being next to a celebrity.

I would go home, turn on the news, see that the guy shot in front of me was a CEO and then the trauma would simply evaporate out of my brain.

Soldiers fighting in just wars have markedly lower rates of PTSD, if I remember correctly.
- Hopefully they're out celebrating. I'd feel like the chosen one getting to see that
