I'm not good with links, but I should have included an explanation for those unfamiliar with the story.

August Landmesser was an active member of the Third Reich. He fell in love with and married, and had children with, a Jewish woman.

He refused to salute Adolph Hitler.

Every single day he proves how completely incompetent he is. He is the dumbest person ever chosen by the Electoral College.

401k's are for wage earners. if farmers have any retirement savings, it is in ira's. most are just hoping that they can keep the debts down enough to walk away from the sale of their farm w a little money.
unfuckingbelievable.

self-employed individual can set up solo 401k plans.

https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/one-participant-401k-plans

I don't think the doofus knew that - but as the child of a family farmer I am aware that farmers can, and sometimes do, have 401k plans.

Impeachment and involuntary admit are two separate things.

But yes I agree he is a danger to the country and will get worse.

That is how the law and clarification of the law read.
(Yes it is the same as pink slip.)

If they are doing it differently than the law states, that would be interesting.
Perhaps a Florida mental health professional could chime in.

But it simply is not possible or ethical to do a forced psych hospitalization for every
person who "might have a mental illness."

Most people with a mental illness do not need to be in the hospital or forced
to undergo a 72 hr hold in one. And on a practical level there are not enough locked
psych inpatient units to hold every one who might have a mental illness.

Unfortunately, I think he means it. His needs go beyond approval; he requires abject adoration.

for Trump's sake that when he grabs his chest and keels over from whatever ails him; kills him. I can only hope that there is a camera filming it all.
