If he doesn't walk, bust him out by force.

Need to get him out of there ASAP. Hopefully the inmates got his back so the guards don't get him 1 on 1

Donations flatline then skyrocket? Classic propaganda machine narrative. First they paint Mangione as a martyr—convenient—then "anonymous benefactors" magically revive the coffers.

Wake up, sheeple: this isn’t organic support. It’s either bots laundering oligarch cash or the deep state stress-testing narrative elasticity.

”Legal defense funds” = Patreon for white-collar theatrics. Mangione’s either a pawn in their chess game or the sacrificial lamb. Either way, grab popcorn.

Democracy’s a rigged carnival, and we’re all just clowns paying to watch.

Ah fuck you lot are here now

You have a natural way of writing and I appreciate it.

Man, I don't think I've EVER seen sheeple used unironically in the wild. (2nd person perspective)

None of that is real. Health care companies have been abusing the population pretty hard for a very long time. They kept rolling dice until they crapped out.

People hate them enough that a lot of people actually support or at least approve of what he did. Its not much more complicated than that.

Why would you be able to launder money by donating it to a random dudes death penalty defence fund?

Mushroom kingdom banks are a bit slow.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 hours ago

Sorry... I got nailed by a blue shell just before I walked into the bank.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 12 points 10 hours ago

I mean nobody can carry 100 coins at the same time there because they turn into an extra life, so large transactions are labor intensive.

Is it possible to make a tax deductable donation to hit Trump or Musk?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

idk if a Mario brother is the right person for that.

donate to BJ Blazkowicz instead.

Wanna help get those numbers up?

[–] Crampon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Before I donate. How do I know the money is actually spent as proposed? I don't know anything about the site or who raises the money.

European btw.

[–] fart@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

he comes from like one of the richest families in the country...

[–] seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I'm sure his ultra right wing family is just throwing money at his defense.

If someone is trying to help; I don't care what family they come from.

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

They probably are. As long as they aren't gay rich white families will pay for most anything for their kid...

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 1 points 9 minutes ago

Yes, they will. It's OK to be gay they're rich enough to afford it. What's not ok is being gay publicly.
