    The right is long overdue for the civil war they were supposed to have in 2016.

    It got put on hold for the last 10 years and it's bubbling back to the surface now that the sun is setting on the Trump dynasty.

    All those old scars and divisions are coming back in full force with no libtards left to own.

    Even before Kirk’s death had been confirmed, Nancy Mace, a Republican congresswoman from South Carolina, spoke to reporters outside the Capitol. “Democrats own what happened today,” she told them. When Ryan Nobles, the chief Capitol Hill correspondent for NBC News, asked her if, by that logic, Republicans would own the shooting this summer of two Minnesota Democratic lawmakers, she replied, “Are you kidding me? . . . Some raging leftist lunatic put a bullet through his neck and you want to talk about Republicans right now? No. . . . Democrats own this a hundred per cent.”

    Even though the authorities had not identified a suspect or motive, Mr. Trump placed the blame squarely on his political opponents.

    https://www.newyorker.com/news/lett...d-trump-just-declare-war-on-the-american-left

    “For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world’s worst mass murderers and criminals,” Mr. Trump said. “This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we’re seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now.”

    This is how a President should address the nation. Condemn all violence and stop blaming everyone else for the mindset of a mentally disturbed killer. I honestly don't know if Trump is even capable of that. I can't think of any examples where he put aside partisan beliefs to condemn all violence, all hate groups, and all political extremists and terrorists. Unless the leaders and representatives know for a fact a group of people paid or conspired with the killer, they need to just stop spewing toxic crap. It's not only disgusting and irresponsible, but it's a dangerous mindset.

    Former President Barack Obama said on X on Wednesday: "We don't yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie's family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children."

    “There is no place in our country for this kind of violence. It must end now. Jill and I are praying for Charlie Kirk’s family and loved ones,” Biden
    wrote on X.

    Yea the MAGAts are insufferable. Also dangerous and unhinged.

    Next week's school shooting will be done by the usual suspects as well.

    Yeah, this guy is a fountain of wisdom.
    "For 33 hours I was praying that if this had to happen here, that it wouldn't be one of us. That somebody drove from another state, somebody came from another country, but sadly that prayer was not answered the way I hoped for."

    You're posting a random twitter picture with 8 reactions that has multiple comments claiming it's a photoshop, why?

    Just because some people on Xitter say its photoshopped means it is?

    Grok seems to disagree:

    Pretty sure that's a fake photo but that's the world we live in now. Only going to accelerate with unchecked social media AI bullshit.

    “Christians” are truly awful people, like the Islamic Extremists.

    Where are the followers of Christ?

    You're right. I should hold myself to a higher standard than POTUS who blamed "radical leftists" before anyone knew who the shooter was. My bad, I feel embarrassed.

    It sickens me that we have elected representatives and "leaders" that speak as she and Trump do.

    Can Republicans not admit that talk like this is not what this country needs? Can they not see how Trump's actions and words are beneath the office which he holds? Can they not see what's happening to this country (and their own ****ing children)?

    God help us... all this uproar, anger and hate over a soft-core white supremacist. :(

    I don't need a picture of the guy in a Trump shirt to know that the extremely online Utah cop son gun bro posting groyper memes who shot someone is - surprise, not in fact even remotely related to anything that the Fascist party has been shittin their pants about for the last 12 hours, and literally calling for armed reprisals against all of their enemies (like HBCUS)

    Guys another alt right nutter who basted and rotted his brain in online **** and the second amendment- just like the alt right b**** who did a school shooting on Thursday in Denver (another alt right piece of ****, and the weirdo who almost got Trump last year).

    the Internet and guns and the collapse of a shared context are a ****ing cancer on the soul of our country.

    The core issue is partsian gerrymandering forces these reps to cater to their base. The only worry they have is being out flanked by someone crazier in the primaries so it gives us the absolute worst individuals in office. Nobody is catering to the middle no more bcz with gerrymandering these seats are "safe" seats.

    Eliminate all gerrymandering + remove money from politics and thats the only way you can function as a society. What we have now isnt a democracy.

    You're probably right. I would like to think that the right leadership could calm the waters and get us back to something resembling the pre-Trump days, but as long as we have entities like Fox News and billionaires like Musk stirring the pot we're ultimately ****ed.

    I hope you're new country doesn't experience this madness.

    this is where I was earlier today. I will let others explain as I’m still trying to digest this alt right v alt right beef. It is equal parts fascinating and disturbing
