Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

Do you think there will be regulatory fines from HHS?
I mean, maybe if a hospital does something Secretary Brainworm doesn't approve of like recommending vaccines or other proven, legitimate medical treatments, then they'd get fined. But failing to protect privacy? Why would HHS under this administration care?
You’re shifting the goalposts. The original claim was that a pardon would negate HIPAA fines, which it wouldn’t. Now you’re saying HHS won’t enforce the law -- different argument entirely.
If you want to discuss regulatory capture or selective enforcement, fine -- but let’s not pretend that means the law ceases to exist or that we should throw up our hands. That’s the kind of learned helplessness I’m pushing back on.
Again -- sus doomerism. GTFO homie. I smell your camp from a mile the fuck away.
I'd argue that you shifted the goal posts when you suggested that civil fines would be a possible path to punishment.
That's all I was responding to. I never suggested that pardons would come into it.
You’re now arguing over a claim you say you never made, while responding to a correction I gave to someone else’s hypothetical about pardons.
So either you misunderstood the original thread and jumped in sideways, or you’re walking it back now. Either way:
Pardons don’t cover HIPAA fines.
HIPAA is still law, even if enforcement is selective.
Doomerism isn’t analysis.
This isn’t dodgeball, it’s policy. Stay sharp or stay quiet.
