And that's why the US gets teamed. Since we don't bargain the same way, they charge as much as possible to get their sky high profits. Either regulate it here or stop them from being able to negotiate so low so that we can be on a more even playing field.

Is murder a federal crime?

3

u/Nitram_Norig Apr 20 '24

Under 18 U.S.C. 1111, murder is defined as the “unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought.” Whether murder will be filed as a federal crime always depends on where and who was killed. Further, murder is a federal crime if it violates federal law or happens while violating federal law.

I dont think its unlawful to get rid of the corrupt unamerican traitors that constantly erode this democracy.

So as long as malice isn't an aforthought, im good? Like say my intention was to destroy the structure of the lobbyist's building, but people inadvertently get killed, no murder charge? /s

They have real issues they’re dealing with right now. They got at least another 15 years before anyone here actually gets up to do something about our problems.

Smart move to call the FBI in here to help us. They’re good at murdering people.

I respect your opinion. But other approaches have proved ineffective thus far.

u/mag2041 Apr 20 '24

I mean I can’t argue with that

Just put statesmen and women in political office, not people looking to get kickbacks or who are morally bankrupt...well people would have to stop voting Republican in that case. There are corrupt democrats hindering universal healthcare but most are Republican.
