It is pretty amazing to see people go from “the left is the enemy of democracy and must be purged” to “who can really know why good kids do bad things?”

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate
Did I miss something? What happened in Memphis? Does it have to anything to do with the cops who murdered Tyree Nichols getting a new trial and getting released from prison while it's pending?
The GOP controls all of govt. why in gods name are you messaging this thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Well, there is precedent for them being held responsible. The Michigan parents were, but you're probably right. Those were different times under a different administration and a different governor.

Release the Epstein Files.
👀👀👀 I can't help but see a pattern here.
Tom Phillips is dead after a police shooting, and his three children have been found alive. The immediate danger is over. But a larger question lingers: who decided Tom Phillips was safe enough to be left alone with his children - and why? My story: www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
PLEASE DON’T STOP POSTING ABOUT EPSTEIN.
Thanks. I really needed that.

Bin Laden didn’t fly the planes himself. But he was responsible. Manson didn’t kill anyone himself. But he was responsible. Hitler didn’t operate the gas chambers himself. But he was responsible. Trump didn’t storm the Capitol himself. But he was responsible. Justice matters.
The double standards in the USA are out of control.

What’s going on in the US? Right now the Annapolis Naval Academy is under lockdown due to a potential threat.
Omg. Let us not miss this also breaking news. Again.
Overheard someone saying their doctor told them to skip the Covid vaccine this year since it’s so mild. If your doctor says that, you should probably get a different doctor. I have several friends down with it right now… and it sure as hell doesn’t sound mild and irrelevant to me.

NEW YORK (AP) — Wife of former Sen. Bob Menendez sentenced to 4½ years in prison for selling her husband's influence for cash and gold.
Dr. Monarez was fired from the CDC for telling the truth about what RFK Jr. is doing to America's public health. RFK Jr. is firing experts, discrediting research, spreading lies and cutting access to vaccines that saved millions of lives. Science should not be partisan.

We simply cannot live in a country where the death of hate mongers is a tragedy and the death of everyone else only warrants a shrug.
My co-worker genuinely believes that other countries have more gun deaths than US, their governments just cover it up. Folks, this is a steep hill we're climbing.
🚨 Panic at UMass Boston: Students fled barefoot, hands raised, as police swarmed the campus after reports of gunfire near a residence hall. Hours later, it turned out to be a false alarm—but the fear was very real.

Kirk wanted fully un-redacted Epstein files released. Honor the dead.
… so are we still toppling society as a diversion from one seedy old man being on the Epstein list and refusing to invoke article 5, or… ?
For whoever needs to hear this, literally no one has forgotten about the Epstein files

WOW other countries actually care that someone was buddies with a pedophile & are willing to take action. Pedo party needs to release the Epstein files. apnews.com/article/uk-m...
We need to start calling the mainstream media what they are...the right wing mainstream media.
It serves the fascists when we fight amongst ourselves and forget the big picture. Did you notice how the media is no longer focused on Epstein? #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
Correction. He is not the leader of the free world.
Papa Roy Cohn says: “Deny, Deny, Deny. Blame, blame. Never admit you guilty.”
The Birthday Book documents a shared depravity and misogyny I hadn't been prepared for. It's super disturbing that mainstream media has failed to condemn these people That is part of why we need independent media like @flaminghydra.com, please subscribe, read, and share flaminghydra.com/issue-399/
That's because the mainstream media is right wing. They spent so many years convincing us that mainstream media was liberal & left wing that many bought into that bs. So much so that the media corporations started bringing in more right wingers to 'balance' it. Now they're predominantly right wing.
Listening to news anchors eulogize this provocateur who called for helping the attacker of Paul Pelosi and advocated violence is nauseating.
🚨𝗡𝗘𝗪: Rep. Massie says he’s at 217 of the 218 signatures needed. “One more member of Congress and we can force a House vote to release the Epstein Files. Victims deserve justice. The American people demand the truth.” One signature stands between justice and a cover-up.
I think to a degree seeing all these people treat Kirk as a fallen rhetorical sparrer is a reminder that many folks see politics as a game to be won rather than focusing on the deeper lives that get affected by these decisions. Some of the worst recent decisions can be explained this way.

Ain't this interesting?
We still want the Epstein Files released.
I’m old enough to remember, too.
Just for fun, I'm going to give you some clips of the hate mail I got from being placed on Kirk's TPUSA Dangerous Professor list. Buckle up:
There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power. The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.
Lisa Murkowski is beyond pathetic.
'You shot me, man!' Video shows Orange deputy accidentally fire on home invasion victim www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/09/11/y...
@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it." On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.
She's part of the right wing main stream media now. Most of them are.
Very good point
Condemn political violence
Interesting how Dems are the only ones required to take the high road
That's the right wing main stream media for you. I haven't watched any of them since election day 2024 except for the day the Epstein accusers held their press conference.
This was his response.

Gun related deaths are the number one cause of premature (before age 44) deaths in America.
Those 11 boat goers probably had families too
Because the right wing media is following orders from higher up.

Thinking about the family of Representative Melissa Hortman & her husband who were assassinated at the hands of a radical MAGA shooter in June. Melissa was doing such important work for the state of Minnesota & this country-we grieve her loss & demand strict gun reform legislation.

Yeah, I wonder.
That's not violent rhetoric and those words are adjectives that apply. They're not like calling all Democrats the enemy or putting Democrats pics inside a bullseye or threatening to lock them up, or calling for civil war and worse.
