Three people familiar with the federal probe into Kirk's assassination told NBC News that investigators have yet to find a link between the alleged shooter and left-wing groups.

We closed our eyes and could see no evidence.
We covered our ears and could hear no evidence.
We didn't look so we didn't find any evidence.
We investigated ourselves and determined we did nothing wrong.

Totally exonerated.

No, the man murdered someone.

He's just not the person that you were slavering for him to be.

I don't suppose that it bothers you how eager for blood MAGA was because of Kirk?
But no one is "hunting you".

You'll look damned stupid if you kill someone over him now.

Charlie Kirk was assassinated by the Trump administration in order to ramp up their authoritarianism.

Again, in the hearings last week, Kash claimed this attack took a lot of money and so had to have outside funding.

That's ---------.

Tyler Robinson allegedly drove his Dodge Challenger 4 hours to Orem, shot Kirk with grand dad's gun, then drove 4 hours home.

He shot Kirk for ~$70.

Have you seen gas prices? And do you know the terrible mileage on a Challenger?

It was at least $105!

...I bet George Soros was behind it... Only he could afford such a complex operation...

The Trump administration just told reporters at the Pentagon they are forbidden from reporting anything that isn't government-approved.

Disobey, and their press credentials will be revoked.

This isn't routine. This is censorship. This is a direct assault on the First Amendment.

Antifa, and TylerR isn't part of group or association, yet has left wing ideology. The whole idea of claiming no left-group, is to avoid guilt and is a ploy in the modern age of media.

Yet its easy to see much of the extremism pockets in America are "Stand Alone Complex" described 20 years ago in "Ghost in the Shell."

'A Stand Alone Complex (SAC) is a social phenomenon where individuals acting independently and without direct coordination converge toward a shared goal, forming a cohesive, unified effort that resembles a conspiracy or organized movement but lacks a central leader or originating source. This "copies without an original" concept emerges when multiple people independently perform similar actions, creating the illusion of a coordinated plot or a widespread phenomenon driven by shared, but unstated, purpose, like mass hysteria with a goal.'

Tyler's statement "I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out." would indicate he's left of Kirk.

Personally I think he sounds like TruthHurts, or any other extremist on this website.

Tyler Robinson and his boyfriend were reported to be involved with "furry fandom" or the "furry lifestyle".

I wouldn't have thought the whole febmboy thing would be conserative, but it is. Or maybe it isn't. It's radical RW. Are furries LW? Not that I know of, or maybe they are radical LW in the same way femboys are radical RW. Or maybe the problem is we are trying to force these groups into a left/right dichotomy that doesn't really apply. I've posted links outlining all of this in recent days.

#24 | POSTED BY BILLJOHNSON

But not THAT unlikely.

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, the Republican candidate in a competitive race for governor of North Carolina, is facing new scrutiny in the wake of CNN reporting that he called himself a "black Nazi," said he wished he could own slaves and made dozens of other disturbing comments on a porn forum called "Nude Africa."

The posts by Robinson, a religious conservative who opposes trans rights, date from 2008 to 2012 and also include comments about abortion and enjoying porn featuring trans women.

#27 | Posted by donnerboy at 2025-09-22 04:10 PM

Rein,

"Robinson family is all MAGA"

So?

Tyler is gay.

Unless Tyler is actually a conservative gay into furry costumes, that other alternative is liberal.

That's going to be a hard sell.

Um, guys, if you haven't heard, the far left is celebrating this like a national holiday. They are getting kill Charlie Kirk tattoos. Posting death lists and saying "Do Elon next" and stuff. Big names are getting cancelled for it. Celebrations and calls for more violence where all over X and BlueSky. And YouTube. Did you hear Destiny saying all MAGA should be killed, and afraid of walking around in public and stuff? That was on CNN.

Dude's a left-wing hero. Also, trans furry stock is up 22%.

No, you both are stuck in the left/right dichotomy that likely does not apply here. Robinson is neither a liberal, nor MAGA. Good explanation of why trying to put Robisnon in a right/left dichotomy is "archaic and inaccurate":

His mother didn't understand why he was wearing a Pepe costume or what that meant. She said, he said he was going as a meme. I doubt she knew anything about the online gamer culture he had been in for years. Some of his friends said he wasn't political. I think I read he wasn't registered as a Democrat or a Republican and he hadn't voted in recent years. I could be wrong, but I am coming to believe he isn't left or right in the way we have traditionally come to understand those terms.

I thought it was done out of love. You read his posts to his boyfriend, right? He wanted to protect him, and he saw Charlie Kirk as the most dangerous transphobe (other than R.K. Rowling). Why are people even having this discussion, his posts where released days ago.

It's a tragic love story. The trans-furry is probably traumatized too.

But you have to admit all the violent left-wing rhetoric led to this. Call people a Nazi? What do you with Nazi's? Well, you shoot them.

The fact he and his family are Trump supporters is why he could never be left leaning.

Just like you were never an "open borders, liberal".

I dare you to find that clip in context. There's another one where he says "throw stones at the LGBTQ+ until they are dead" going around. In context, it was "Hundreds of years ago they used to...."

That's the hate and lies I'm talking about. That's what powered this, and the leftist celebrations still going on.

#51 | Posted by HeliumRat at 2025-09-22 05:13 PM

Gal,

I voted for Reagan twice.

Then I got put off by conservatives. I was in a conservative church for years.

There were several things going on I saw and heard, considering I was in the middle of the culture.

In particular was one event that was the last straw. One weekend a couple invited my Sunday school class to their home for bbq and fellowship. It was pretty common for couples to do that. It was a rather large group.

While we were at his home he brought the entire group into one room and showed a film, It was an Amway presentation. Amway was a pyramid scheme popular then. A growing attitude back then and especially being encouraged to believe was "God wants you to be rich". While we were there, his wife had to leave for work. As she was leaving he yelled out to her, "Make us lots of money".

I changed nearly on the spot. I stopped supporting conservatives and instead supported democrats until Trump.

The idea Taylor was brought up conservative and some event just changed him quick as a wink is believable to me.

It happened to me.

Have both your faces discuss it, and see if you can choose one consistent position.

#60 | Posted by eberly at 2025-09-22 05:37 PM

Eb,

"You flipped your political ideology over a fukkin Amway pitch?"

Did you catch that I said "last straw".

You and Dan just can't see suttle clues.

You and tons of other people pick up a word or single thought and build an entire conclusion what it means.

Ok..more true story.

Once I had a job that sent me to Falwell's elementary school for the day. One of the teachers showed me a memo all teachers were now required to donate 10% of their paycheck to his church. That mixed with my observations about Moral Majority and Reagan mocking my faith and seeing so many going along with it just upset me.

Then soon after I attended a Sunday school get together and they fooled us into watching a presentation. He had a captive audience.

Thus "last straw". I take my faith serious and felt like I was lied to and tricked. And yelling at his wife "make lots of money". It was an Amway presentation and not a social function.

Yeah, those "hippy liberals" (as your current alias calls them) had some events to deal with.

The assignation of JFK.

The assassination of RFK.

The assassination of MLK.

So, as your comment seems to assert (and I do disagree) those hippies became Republicans, apparently abandoning their moral standards, to make money.

So, how many of those "hippy liberals" can your current alias account for?
