But they didn't bat an eye when Brian Kilmeade declared that we should murder homeless people, "...involuntary lethal injection, or something,” Kilmeade said. “Just kill 'em.”

I'm sorry, wasn't it just yesterday that Brian Kilmeade declared on Fox News that we should murder the homeless in cold blood?

Ezra Klein bonding with Charlie Kirk over being privileged white men that will never pay the price of the poisoned politics they demand we acquiesce to. Fuck them both.

ConstantlyDumbfounded (@imdumfounded.bsky.social) reply parent
It's good in theory, but what bonded those young men in Kirk's group was anger, hate, sexism & racism. It's unfortunate but hating someone else is a very bonding experience (think football fans). It's not easily reproduceable without the negativity.

You know fuck all about my politics. That being said, I'm pretty pragmatic. I'm fine with running more Manchin's in red states, if that's what it takes. He's still not a moderate. He was/is a blue dog conservative. It is what it is.

So we should pick and choose which things he said to take at face value? If he said it was just a meme, who are you to say it isn't?

Two things can be true. He was not a moderate & we did indeed need him to pass anything. The truth is though, that he watered down or destroyed many good things Dems have tried to do over the years. We couldn't get rid of the filibuster & couldn't pass a voter protection bill because of him.

Not arguing for or against a shut down but if you think Trump is going to stop doing those things just because the govmt "shuts down", you are smoking something. Trump has had no qualms about spending money not appropriated, stealing it from other pots & generally ignoring anything congress does.

You could read the available evidence either way. The "authorities" had a narrative (left wing trans) before they even had a suspect. Consequently, we have no reason to believe anything they put out. I see no reason not to speculate on an alternative narrative. It's all a game now thanks to MAGA.

No. No he doesn't. You can't advocate for murdering human beings on live TV and just walk it back like it never happened. He was forced to do this by public outcry. You could see his reluctance. He needs to be fired.

I've no idea what this guy's actual motives were. I do know that MSM & right wing are actively writing a script where this is an act of violence from the left.

ConstantlyDumbfounded (@imdumfounded.bsky.social) reply parent
Problem is that media pundits are pushing the idea that he is an antifascist leftist, also with no compelling evidence. TBH, the groyper theory is far more likely given his upbringing. America is in engaged in a war of ideas & propaganda. We should not sit silent while MAGA writes the narrative.

Groyper or leftist? Your opinion?
ConstantlyDumbfounded (@imdumfounded.bsky.social) reply parent
To be honest, most of the reporting I am seeing is based on vibes & speculation. News coverage is covering this as if he is an antifascist, characterizing it as violence from the left. Most of those memes scrawled on the bullets can also be attributed to the right. Nobody is saying that.

Why? It's a legitimate avenue to explore. And the right is going to fill any vacuum with their own narrative of left wing violence. The media will explore the one that gets the most juice.

The alleged shooter, the one Trump announced he'd caught this morning, is reportedly a 22 year old, straight, white, Christian male, a Trump loving MAGA, the son of a cop turned evangelical minister, from a Trump loving MAGA family of gun nuts. Seems Charlie Kirk radicalized Charlie Kirk's killer

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish. The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.
