So now it's because his mind was poisoned by higher education (he dropped out). I would love someone to review the educational background of MAGA murderers. Something tells me we won't find Rhodes scholars.

It was never about self-defense. You don't see people going apeshit over alarm systems.
Watching the cable news commentary on the bullet engravings is wild because none of these people seem to realize that the content of the engravings are indicative of extremely online meme brain rot
The hate matters. The minions do not.
Well, crushing the US had less to do with the US than threatening Europe. Although the level of chaos is puzzling. Garry Kasparov once said that Putin likes chaos.
I don’t mean to sound picky, but as Trump announces plans to deploy troops to Memphis, a key detail shouldn’t get lost in the shuffle: Tennessee already has a Republican governor capable of deploying Guard troops. He doesn’t need Trump or his “plan.” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Per the press conference, the actual inscriptions on the casings are: "Notices bulges, OWO whats this?" "hey fascist! Catch! Uparrow, right arrow, three down arrow" "O bella cao, bella cao cao cao" "If you read this you are gay lmao"
Thought they were untouchable. And they were then. Alex Acosta's sweetheart deal.
Keep track but be careful. Bet you never thought you'd be a war correspondent.
I don't know this person and can't vouch for her personal story. But what's being done in Gaza is horrific.
Props for saying this, governor. I won't be calling for the persecution of Utah Republicans. Of course. But expect Cox to be viciously attacking for saying this.
A wealthy white man who is registered as republican. I could not be less shocked.
THIS. They didn't care who it was.
Murder is bad. But I am glad it wasn't a planned assassination by the regime. Now maybe we can focus on the other wanton violence?
Whatever it takes to make democracy a toothless parody.
What happened to Charlie Kirk is also what happened to 20 children (ages 6 and 7) at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. I don’t remember the right being this upset back then—do you? 🤨
Can we trade Supreme Courts with Brazil?
Blaming it on trans people without evidence. This is really looking like they did it.

I have no idea who committed the atrocity at UVU today. But the two released videos so far—per multiple law enforcement analysts on multiple media outlets—suggest a professional hit. That makes this much more complex, and far less likely to be the product of simple partisanship.
I have this creepy feeling that we will see a lot of "avenge Charlie Kirk" yet strangely zero interest in finding the killer. I so want to be wrong, silly even.
Reichstag fire. Thank you for your service, Charlie. No proof, mind you. Just too plausible.
The Nazis set the Reichstag fire, blamed it on their targets and then did horrific things. I don't like where this is going. This looks like gloating. They can't wait.
Yes. Exactly 💯.
Conspiracy hypothesis: How did they get off a shot like that from 200 feet? The regime was already annoyed with Kirk about Epstein. What a great way to redirect to the "real enemy." Hunch is better than hypothesis. I have zero evidence. I welcome criticism, please. Maybe it's bullshit.
Those are not journalists. At least not worthy of the description. It is not a coincidence that journalism took a crap and oh look, Nazis. Allowing Sinclair Pravda to take over so many local markets didn't help.
Ex-Republicans like Charlie Sykes, of course. Utterly shameful for the rest.
A-fucking-men. The fascists were going to use this to come after us anyway. Unlike the malleable morality of those people, in which power is the only principle, we cherish our principles. That means condemning wanton violence while not forgetting who made it common, even if it's the same person.
I can be appalled by a professional assassination of a public figure without pretending they were a better person than they actually were, especially when their own words made these violent, dangerous times possible.
A gay man who fucking knows better. Disgusting.
You guys put podcast hosts in charge of the FBI and fired all the competent agents because you thought they were woke.
You could have focused on his humanity. You could have defended his right of free speech. You did neither. His "work" was encouraging violence, and ending the democracy you were supporting recently. No one deserves what happened to him, but let's not pretend he wouldn't cheer your murder.
As expected. We won't see Mike Lee joking about it.
People are assuming that Charlie Kirk was shot for political reasons because it was Charlie Kirk. Maybe the guy was angry because Kenneth wouldn't tell him the frequency being used to control his brain. I am glad the university police appear to be handling the investigation and not the DOJ.
This is a good reminder that when Paul Pelosi was nearly murdered by a right-wing lunatic, Trump and his family spent days mocking Pelosi and making a joke of it all.
Nope. It's just assumed because, well, it's Charlie Kirk. The level of inflammatory rhetoric really does invite this sort of thing.
Can we talk about gun violence NOW?
?? Who defended him, and how?
Just looking through old news stories this afternoon
*motive
Excellent point. We have no notice yet.
Yes. Political violence is being done by the regime every damn day. We condemned political violence then. We condemn it now, even when it's someone fomenting the same. Pritzker has it exactly right.
On MSNBC no less. Ugh.
Whoever shot Charlie Kirk handed an enormous gift to the regime. Thanks, fuckstick.
It makes perfect sense. Remember racist "dog whistles"? We now have football-stadium-sized public address systems. The bigotry is the point.
Christ, Stalin wasn’t this direct
Dismantling America is a big part of Putin's plan. Eastern Europe is freaked, and should be.
Trump's coddling of Putin isn't weakness. It's a long collaboration against the US and NATO, whatever he may be saying now.
Having elections that matter should never be off our radar, even if physical revolution will be needed to get there.
Biden did a lot more than nothing. He stabilized a government about to collapse and put a lot of sane judges on the judiciary. He also undermined all by pretending 2024 was an election instead of an obvious coup. Should have been SCOTUS impeachments in 2001, but why is Bain Capital a huge donor
Yes
Kavanaugh lied. He knew very well this was happening. And approved of it.
Elections are meaningless? Oh? So the events of 2024 have nothing to do with our current predicament? Or can't accomplish anything? Are saying elections are done (because that isn't what you just said), or what? If you are calling for mass revolt I agree, but something comes next.
You're more optimistic than me. The regime is doing everything it can to make elections meaningless.
One fear I have: it takes four votes to hear an appeal on the merits. I could see the six traitors continue to dismantle the Constitution via stays while refusing the actual case. We don't have to explain anything. Trump is the law now.
All of them were caught taking bribes, which should have mattered before. Criming is being is recast as patriotic now, or else.
Idea for an amicus brief: We list the powers in a chart let's say Louis XIV claimed for himself, and maybe the courts can just indicate with a checkmark which ones of those Trump doesn't have. Seems more efficient.
In case you weren’t sure that Trump’s pal and lawyer Alan Dershowitz is also a pedophile, check out his birthday gift to Jeffrey Epstein. ALL the #EpsteinTrumpFiles and documents MUST be released. #PedoPresidentTrump MUST be 86’d.
Or rather, WAS canon. The Fourth Amendment is on life support.
Legal analysts who know what they're doing remember that the powerful dissent by Justice Brandeis took more than 40 years to prevail. It's canon now, but that didn't help anyone before 1969. Still important to note when a Supreme Court justice says the rule of law is dead. And act accordingly.
Well, it's not like crime reduction ever had anything at all to do with it.
Yes, with a side of Christofascism and tech bro evil. We may have a few of the wealthy on our side. It's about more than class but billionaires are funding it.
It's been an obvious coup from the outset.
Shocker: Every House Rules Republican just voted to block the Epstein Files Transparency Act from advancing to the floor for a vote. Republicans, why are you protecting Predators & Pedophiles?
A big NO to ending the republic. Ironic that Republicans are ending the republic, but then Democrats in the South dismantled democracy during Jim Crow.
I really wish that was the reason, but the fascists were going to do it anyway. All this was completely predictable months ago.
Israel accused of targeting European civilians in international waters in a drone attack on Greta Thunberg & a civilian aid flotilla heading to Gaza to assist mass starvation victims. Israeli aligned media spread a rumor that it was a generator fire caused by a cigarette, to control the narrative.
Are we going to have another case of the democratic party caving to the agenda of literal Nazis just to keep the government running? Yes a shutdown is bad in normal circumstances. There is still some government. Most of their time is spent coming up with ways to stop everything good or normal.
Keeping the U.S. government funded now is to participate in the most atrocious misuse of the power of the United States in modern times. So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole f*cking thing down. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/should-democrats-shut-the-government
Yield to the lawless. King George would approve.
When @wsj.com broke this story on Epstein's "birthday letter," they described this drawing as that of a "naked woman" and the outline of "a woman's body." SERIOUSLY? Imagine the uproar if the Journal had described this accurately. It's a girl. Not a woman.
Domestic military deployment is what dictators do. And complicit traitors like Mike Johnson.
We are not living in a democracy any longer when our criminal justice system is used to selectively punish the President's political opponents and give his loyalists and friends immunity. We are becoming a banana republic in front our eyes and we cannot normalize it.
The idea that Dem demands in a shutdown fight need to focus on some discrete and plausibly gettable policy win is total before-times thinking. The issue is he is trying to make the US into a dictatorship and no Congress loyal to their oaths would give him a single dime so long as he's in power.
Sending the military into the cities has long been regarded as the indefensible hallmark of fascist regimes, including the one operated by King George III in 1776.
Thrilled to see growing consensus that Dems must step up in the Continuing Resolution fight. Key to doing so? Refuse to frame this as "shutting down government." Instead, call it what it is - refusing to be an accomplice to turning the government into a weapon against the American people.
Kidnapping people without so much as the evidence required for stop and frisk ends the Fourth Amendment. Kavanaugh 's fantasy of a "brief stop" (he was lying) may be useful in the lower courts, since what's happening is far more violent and grave. Make them own their fascism on appeal. Not over
Unfortunately, Eliot is correct. Winning the vote will be far less of a battle than getting the votes and having them counted. Non-regime people need to adopt a 1958 black mentality, because that's where we are.
I have no idea what "dissent culture" is, which tells me it's not particularly pervasive, whatever it is.
Unlike Mr. Kavanaugh, most Americans are not openly hostile to the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He would really be happier living in Russia. We should encourage him to make the trip.
And elsewhere, the genocide continues.
We need lower court judges -- including Trump-appointed judges -- to publicly speak out as a group, against the literal dismantling of the US constitution by these traitors.
Eventually the robed co-conpirators will no longer be able to hide behind unsigned interference with restraining orders on the shadow docket. They will actually have to explain why the horrific things they allowed aren't irreparable harm. I am starting to think there is no electoral way out.
Stop calling Republicans cowards. We're so far beyond muted compliance. They are co-conpirators enabling open treason against the United States of America. Enabling crimes against the people may be difficult to prosecute without infringing on their protected roles. But they are guilty still.
Cowardice or complicity?
So much for the First Amendment. These people are assaulting nearly all the US constitution. If, say, the Third Amendment is still intact, give them time. I could literally see these traitors forcing people to house soldiers, just to "run the table."
The problem is that dictators only need a large plurality to stay in power. Propaganda, Censorship + the bludgeon do the rest. But it ain't over 'til it's over.

They're folding. Keep the heat on.
These a$$holes.
But they're fine with all the other fascist atrocities. Not that I have anything at all to tell Alejandra about that shit. So not the point. Where is America on the Niemoller Index now?
I have enormous respect for Professor Tribe, but now is not the time for understatements.
Even? When did he say this? I have to believe the diplomatic muted language -- still inappropriate at any time -- was recent. Trump just declared war on Chicago.
Roger that.
They are supposed to disobey unlawful orders but the regime will certainly court-martial those who do. It was apparently leaked that it will be lead by the Texas National Guard, presumably to maximize the number of MAGA goons who are fine with violating the oath.
The treasonous shitweasel isn't even pretending to be loyal to America.
