And right on cue, Bo@ss jumps to the only conclusion his tiny brain can comprehend
Psst....it was one of YOU.
What we need RIGHT NOW, is a President like Lincoln, who can use the bully pulpit to calm the nation, to bring us together.
So a Democrat can kill him?
WTF are you talking about?
The nation's history its never "been together". Its like Americans have no idea about their history.
The issue is immature people aer too emotional.
If only Trump were a different man, but if he were a different man we wouldn't be here to begin with.
Oh please ...
Mitt Romney is owed an apology for how he was attacked in 2012. He's unlikely to get it

As I look at the history of American politics, since Reagan every Republican has been called Hitler.
You my friend are in fantasyland thinking you'd be nicer to a different President.
idk why Lumpers resort to the Hitler attack everytime, then complain about political violence.
But the Prime Minister of America, Benjamin Netanyahu, said that Charlie Kirk was killed by a team of "radical Islamists and ultra-progressives."
If anybody knows about deploying teams of assassins, the murderous ICC-indicted war criminal would: newrepublic.com

JD Vance once speculated that Trump was American's ------:
"I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical ------- like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler," he wrote privately to an associate on Facebook in 2016.
When his Hitler comment was first reported, in 2022, a spokesperson did not dispute it, but said it no longer represented Vance's views.

Democrats have been called fascists and by none other than Dear Leader:
Trump doubled down on those comments during his Tuesday night town hall, also calling Democrats "evil" and "dangerous."
"They're Marxists and communists and fascists, and they're sick," Trump added. "We have China, we have Russia, we have all these countries. If you have a smart president, they can all be handled. The more difficult are, you know, the Pelosis, these people, they're so sick and they're so evil," Trump said.

English 101 "killed" is by accident, and "murdered" is on purpose.
Whats your definition?

No, killed doesn't mean by accident. Not everyone who is killed is murdered, but everyone who is murdered is killed.
kill
verb
to cause someone or something to die:

a disease that has killed thousands
He threatened to kill them.

We had the Scalise shooting which was intended to be a massacre. 2 attempts on Trump. Firebombing of Jewish protestors. Kavanaugh. 2 Israeli staffers. The CEO of United Health. Family Research Council attack, Charlie Kirk ... .
A career criminal, George Floyd, gets killed and the response was 6 months of rioting with more than a dozen killed, over 1500 police officers injured, livelihoods lost and $2 billion in property damage.
You are conveniently forgetting January 6 and the shooting of state lawmakers in MN.
Until lefties rediscover their own humanity they have no business anywhere near the levers of power and this most recent killing may have lit a powder keg of people jumping into the political fray to get out there and bury these cretins politically.
The lack of introspection combined with zealous self-righteousness is astonishing.
Let's focus on Kirk, the response by some on the left by people with an actual microphone and audience has been appalling. On social media it's been worse. Essentially, "He got what he deserved. Now, who's next?!?"
Yes, those kinds of comments are appalling, but they were from a minority of people. And once again you act like the right is above that sort of thing when Democrats get assaulted or killed, which of course is BS:
Among public figures who were not on the site, it seemed to become a conventional wisdom that BlueSky was full of people celebrating Kirk's death, the modern day equivalent of the thousands of Muslims that Trump falsely claimed celebrated 9/11 in New Jersey. People wanted them to exist so badly, they were willing to invent them. While the nominal centrist Chatterton Williams was happy to share the false claim, it was, bizarrely, the erstwhile right-wing commentator Richard Hanania who debunked it.donmoynihan.substack.com
Hanania explained the right-wing strategy of finding obscure accounts of leftists who said terrible things --of course plenty will exist in a very online world--and then mischaracterizing them as if they were broadly representative. There was no Democrat of note who, for example, responded the way that Senator Mike Lee did after the murder of a Minnesota Democratic politician this summer, with a mocking post that pinned the blame on the Democratic Governor.
LyinYav here's the NYT...
On Sunday, Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah said in a television interview that Mr. Robinson had a "leftist ideology," but he also cautioned that it could take time for an exact motivation to emerge.
Utah's governor said in the television interview on Sunday that a person previously described as a roommate of the suspect was in fact a boyfriend who was transitioning to become a woman, and he said that person was fully cooperating with authorities and was "shocked" by what had happened.

That you can lie with ease?
You calling the NYT liars? LOL cope harder.
Transgender people can be MAGA Trumpers too. Caitlin Jenner for one.

This is the sad irony of the shooting of Kirk by a trans-adjacent individual.
I am seeing there were many trans individuals that didn't agree with Kirk, but enjoyed debating him and thought he was fair.
This is true of many things he's been accused of saying.
x.com
Only people I have seen really denigrate him were people that didn't listen to him directly, but seemed to take him out of context.
He respected your choice in as much as a religion could, never asking you to change, and loved you regardless, hoped you'd change.
He wasn't intolerant, he would still talk to you, treat you with more respect than you gave him(watch some of the videos).
Isn't this what us Liberals espouse? Tolerance? This is what I thought being a Liberal meant.
The "dancing on his grave" is really unAmerican, to call yourself an American and do that is just not understanding its meaning.
"He respected your choice in as much as a religion could, never asking you to change, and loved you regardless, hoped you'd change."
Uh-huh:
Charlie Kirk in his own words:
I hadn't seen this. Kirk, the moderate free speech guy who did politics the right way per some liberals (!), called for Biden to be executed.
Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk's killing.
Both sides!

This was in reference to Democrat leaders.....
CHARLIE KIRK (HOST): But, understand that there's elements of this where Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats, they are cleaning up. They're raising record amounts of money, and they're gonna come into these districts and they're gonna obliterate us. And I don't like the I told you so stuff, But I'm going to tell you what the I told you so is, that when Speaker of the House becomes Hakeem Jeffries in January 2025, and his first act of business is politburo committees that actually authorize subpoenas against the entire American right, they abolish the Electoral College, get rid of DC and Puerto Rico as states, and regardless of who the president is, they'll just impeach Trump on the first day and we'll be like, oh, wow, how did this happen? Like, we're dealing with maggots, vermin and swine here. This is not " these are not good people, they're not even a little bit good. They are coming after our throats.

?? Whats wrong with this? It's just an opinion. Not my opinion, but it's one the 2A, and Liberalism is founded, a fear of the government.
Tell me you got more? Tell me there's alot worse, because if you're cherry picking the worst here, you pretty much have made my point.
Send me one from his "prove me wrong!". This is just talk radio.
