    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.

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

    predictable.

    Philips was CEO of multiple companies himself.

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

      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 joker-dancing

        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

          I read it as him stopping at simply saying that Palestinians aren't terrorists, I felt the need to go the distance and point out that this mf was one
