kenklippenstein kicking the big boys in the nuts again. Face it corporate news sewers, your souls are being eaten by the republiQans who own you. Your "journalism" is really weak - it's more like public relations isn't it.

Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker, who is overseeing pre-trial hearings for Luigi Mangione, is married to a former Pfizer executive and holds hundreds of thousands of dollars in stock, including in healthcare companies and pharmaceutical companies, according to her 2023 financial disclosures.

This . . . upsetting Italian man just cost her that luxury around-the-world cruise she was planning on, and she's been wanting to go on that for a long time you guys!! If I were her I wouldn't recuse myself either, I'd be all like "the actions of this vicious man are a stain upon the shared social fabric of this country" and then I'd tut-tut and shake my head real quickly and that'd show him! Then afterwards at my mansion I'd tell the cleaning staff to take the rest of the night off and I'd put on my favorite movie, "Flashdance" and probably have too much vino! Ha ha!
