transformation

Guy had a fucking shave.

I swear to god Superman had the exact right idea. He puts on a pair of glasses and they never catch him.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago

I've noticed if I take my glasses off I don't recognize anyone around me unless I'm with people I know. I bet I have superman powers going on or sm idk.

Yeah, the lame smear attempt has already begun. I'm surprised it took this long, honestly.

And they're already whinging about not being able to find an "impartial" jury. I see... So it's only valid when the media/courts/police/etc. do it to make the defendant look bad, because that works in the state's favor, see? The other way around is just Not Fair!

There's a big push by billionaire owned media to make him seem crazy.

Part of that is when he doesn't seem crazy, they act like it's unusual.

Sure, he's not eating babies now.... But what about 10 minutes ago?!

It's gaslighting 101, something rightwing media has done for decades, and even "left" media like CNN has been doing it since WB bought them.

He's the only sane man in that whole courtroom.

I’ll be at his service! growl

Apparently he didn't shoot the CEO while feeling calm and serene. Can't imagine why.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 2 months ago

I don't know the degree of pain he has, but it would be something else to have to call for a recess during the trail numerous times because "my client has trouble sitting for long periods due to his medical condition that UHC continued to deny coverage for."

Under any other circumstances I'd be aggravated that this article exists, but Mangione is a celebrity now and treating him like one, while dumb as fuck, is so wonderful.

[–] dual_sport_dork 36 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'm still aggravated it exists. How anyone looks has no bearing whatsoever on their guilt, nor whether or not what they allegedly did was justified. It's got nothing to do with anything, except trying to sway the court of public opinion. It's a transparently desperate attempt to distract people from the facts that actually matter.

Almost every female teacher child sexual abuse case verdict.

Not sure if you're talking about Luigi or Bryan.

What a sorry excuse for "journalism". SMH

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's The Daily Beast, it's already not journalism.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

It's also 2024, so real journalism anywhere is pretty unlikely

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Absolutely. I'm glad that I usually avoid links to them.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen 11 points 2 months ago

I seriously don't think Mangione is the guy. They're out here sculpting his eyebrows to make them match.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 11 points 2 months ago

Dude was on the run from the cops, it’s not like he could get his eyebrows threaded. Jeez.

[–] hOrni 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That man is going to get so much pussy when he gets out.

[–] Skullgrid 3 points 2 months ago

It's the US, they're probably going to try to give him 459 consecutive life sentences.

You know, for all the 1-ups people are going to send him in jail.

Whatever you say, David Gardner.
