Psychiatrist gets more than 8 years in prison for billing government, insurers for millions of dollars worth of procedures and visits he never conducted
This 3-shirt-wearing slob is still lying. Nobody is trying the shut him up (although that would be nice). He committed a #crime, he was afforded #dueProcess, he was #convicted on the basis of the #evidence, and he has been sentenced to #prison. He can run his mouth and talk all he wants. But for now, he'll have to do it from behind bars. These are the consequences of his actions, despite the bullshit story he's hoping everyone believes.
In the UK, there is a real issue with working class violence centred around false or unfounded claims of paedophilia. Or rather, a working class culture of violence and sadism which is also fundamentally narcissistic in its nature. These people are the dregs.
(And before you @ me, I come from that background and have had to deal with these sorts of people many times. Their MO is shockingly predictable.)
"Research shows that immigration is linked to decreases, not increases, in violent crime. Neighborhoods with higher concentrations of immigrant populations also have lower crime rates, multiple studies found. Between 1990 and 2014, undocumented immigration, in particular, was 'generally associated with decreasing violent crime,' according to one study."
As expected, the House Reps who want defund #NATO include much of the pack who supported Trump's coup in 2020. Nearly half the sitting Reps with Congressional Insurrection Index rankings voted today to destroy our alliances (colored in ss below, which shows post-Jan 6 scores).
"The embattled Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is vowing to use the arsenal of tools at his disposal, including defunding, to target the U.S. Dept. of Justice after ex-president Donald Trump was convicted in a New York State prosecution on 34 felony charges last week."
On the 1st day of #testimony in #HunterBiden’s federal #gun trial, #jurors heard his audio of his memoir, where he recounted his #drug use in graphic detail. A federal prosecutor told jurors “no one is above the #law,” & defense said the he did not “knowingly” lie when filling out forms to purchase a weapon.
The #gun counts #HunterBiden faces are rarely stand-alone charges. Usually such violations are attached to ≥1 other alleged #crime, e.g. armed robbery.
Oct 2022 - Mar 2023, federal prosecutors filed 3,863 cases in which the #unlawful possession of a #firearm was the lead charge, per Syracuse’s TRAC database.
In 130 of those cases, or ~3%, the lead unlawful possession charge was related to making a false stmnt to acquire the weapon. The amt of false stmnts + drug use is likely even lower.
Garcia: I want to remind everyone about the real #TrumpCrimeFamily. Why did Saudi Arabia give Jared Kushner $2 billion just months after he left the White House? Why did they spend hundreds of thousands at Trump properties while he was still in office? 🧵
What Donald Trump’s 34 Convictions Mean for the Presidential Election (econ.st)
Come election season, it could be Hunter Biden’s trial that hogs the headlines.
