The 16-year-old who shot two students in a Colorado high school on the same day Charlie Kirk was killed was a virulent white supremacist and antisemite www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

So that’s what’s supposed to happen after an attempted coup d’état. (Sarcasm aside, that prison term is a lot longer than I expected him to get. He’s 70 years old- it’s essentially a life sentence.)

No one knows who the shooter is, yet that hasn’t stopped Trump or his sycophants from blaming the “lunatic left” and threatening more drastic action. Never missing a chance to further stoke the violent climate.

Let me make this very clear. No, liberals and Democrats are not all celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk. How do I know. Well I am a liberal and a Democrat. I abhor violence in any capacity. I didn’t agree with him. I didn’t want him to die because we had different views

That poll is almost exactly the same results as the Siena/NY Times poll that came out yesterday. As far as the NY Post- it isn't even worthy of lining a bird cage and hasn't been for 50 years now, since Murdoch bought it in 1976.

A note about the building renovation costs: The building is 90 years old & it's never been updated. There is a shit ton of asbestos- the big reason for the cost overruns. They need to replace pretty much the entire HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems. It was never going to be cheap.
