A six-week-old baby girl in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, died from measles, the county coroner confirmed to local press on Friday.

Stephen Diamantoni, a Republican elected coroner in 2007, told Lancaster Online that the baby died at home. “I believe it was the 18th of August,” he said.

      Plenty of non-legislative elected positions in local government–judge, district attorney, police chief here. At least in the USA. Always seemed a little weird to me that a judge would have to make a ruling based on his re-election chances, but then I remember we had Jim Crow and then it all makes sense.

    • Honestly, I think he has some sort of twisted “survival of the fittest” fetish and whomever he considers weak just doesn’t deserve to survive.

      Dude hates just about every form of reasonable medicine, and is running around whining about how if everybody eats fucking steaks and sauerkraut (things we can’t afford) that we’d all be super human or something.

      Just about everybody associated with Trump and his rich cronies appears to be some sort of end times Doomsday cultist. This would sort of fit the bill.

      He does this deliberately and maliciously, I’m guessing he sleeps like a baby because he got what he wants, dead babies.

      I bet it’s really creepy. Like in a soup of raccoon placentas and polywater, in a shungite tub.
