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 politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple 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.
That's all the rules!

They've been itching to do this -- and when the ICE/National Guard occupation of our cities didn't immediately result in an attack on "law enforcement," there was a sense of frustration. Without a reason, they had to dial up the rhetoric and threats.
Charlie Kirk's (MAGA on MAGA) death was hammered and shaped to fit their narrative. Now, with a reason, they will punish their enemies as terrorists.
Listen for calls of the death penalty, next.
It's not beyond the real of possibility that they ordered Kirk's assassination. The DOJ and Utah state government are so corrupted that we can't believe anything that they claim is evidence.
A lot of the claims about the accused shooter came out before any so-called evidence was presented, which means the narrative came first, then the evidence followed.
They've alreaady started. Trump's been a big fan of executions, torture and collective retribution since at least his Klannish demands for the Central Park Five to be judicially lynched.
Speaking of that, am I the only one that finds it odd that the shooter had a ‘trans roommate/lover’ and that person has not been completely doxxed by the right? It seems to me that they would have plastered that persons info absolutely everywhere. Not saying I want that person doxxed, I just think it is super weird that they have a convenient scapegoat and all they’ll say is a small snippet of a text exchange. It’s been something that has bothered me more and more as time goes on as being fully made up without further information.
Also, aren't all the gun freaks up in arms after they said some weird shit about the bullet being "miraculously" stopped by Kirk's neck bones? The type of rifle and ammo that was used would have 100% gone directly through. Just like, as a matter of physics.
Not sure if you’ve seen, but they DID increase calls for the death penalty just yesterday:

I hope none of Trump's administration have seen The Handmaid's Tale because they'd probably be inspired by the idea of lining people up on a wall and hanging them
