Thatās a lovely thought. But it could never happen with Donald Trump serving as president, and would never have been necessary if he werenāt.

Thatās a lovely thought. But it could never happen with Donald Trump serving as president, and would never have been necessary if he werenāt.
Iāll be joining @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on the @lastword.msnbc.com to discuss Putinās intimidation and intelligence collection & the violation of Polish airspace by Russian drones.
He had some horrible views for certain.
Sadly, youāve a point there.
Thatās is not the same at all.
Iāve been a responsible guy owner my entire adult life.
I do not believe it was a professional
Fun fact: I saw Manson at Folsom prison many many decades ago & he was one creepy dudeā¦..made my skin crawl.
I agree, while we must condemn the violence, we shouldnāt exalt Kirk.
Easy peasy one today for folks who havenāt tried connections yet.

Breaking News: Investigators said they had found the rifle the gunman used to kill Charlie Kirk and were seeking a suspect āof college age.ā The person was still at large and unidentified amid speculation about what motivated the killing. Follow updates.
Trump is failing to meet his election promise to reduce cost of living pressures as inflation continues to push up prices.
These hairy spiders spend almost all of their lives underground. But when it's time to mate, they must brave the great outdoors before they perish.
Ammunition engraved with transgender and antifascist ideology was found inside the rifle authorities believe was used in Kirkās shooting, sources say.
Welcome to our world.
Ironic for sure.

You donāt have to morn him, but you can have compassion for his loved ones & concern about how an assassination will affect the country. Wars have been started over this shit & we have a lunatic in the WH.
Canāt lie, that thought did cross my mind.
Iām aware.
I did not agree with Charlie Kirk. I found his influence dangerous. But he should still be alive. He should be at home tonight, tucking in his kids, fighting his battles in words, not blood.
Yes, very very graphic. The second one made it clear he would not survive. I hate that his family has to see those videos & that this is where we are in America.
Dear lord, America. How did we get here? Hug someone unexpectedly, introduce yourself to someone you donāt know, smile at somebody in the grocery store. It doesnāt seem like much, but it is an antidote to the poison that is our politics right now. #TippingPoint #ThisIsNotNormal.
A real president who loved this country would use todayās tragedies to bring America together. I havenāt much hope that will happen, but itās what the nation needs.
Regardless of beliefs, the bottom line is a man lost his life. His family deserves respect, not speculation. Currently, we donāt know the facts about the shooter, the gun, how it was acquired, or why it happened. Filling that void with assumptions doesnāt honor the truth. It only deepens the harm.
Condolences to the family of Charlie Kirk.š Everyone has a right to speak their beliefs and express it respectfully. We also have the right to disagree, and argue. VIOLENCE IS NEVER THE ANSWER. Campus is no place for guns. Places of education and worship should be free of guns. #GunControl #Kirk
Gun control is necessary. Places of education and worship are no place for guns. This includes all places of education and worship. #GunControl. #GunControlNow
Prayers up for Charlie Kirkās family and loved ones.
NEW: At least 2 people were being transported to a Denver-area hospital after a shooting involving an āactive assailantā at Evergreen High School in Jefferson County, officials said Wednesday afternoon // Story by @katielang.bsky.social
As we learn about the shooting of Charlie Kirk, we can issue platitudes saying things like violence is never the answer But-to me-itās this simple If you abhor the unlawful political violence committed on January 6, you should condemn the shooting of Kirk as well-regardless of his policy positions
Condemn violence. #ItsTheGuns Thoughts and prayers can come later.
Iāve seen a second video, and itās bad. I honestly donāt see how he could survive. Political violence is unacceptable, gun violence is unacceptable, violence is just unacceptableā¦..period. Many seem to have a problem with my viewpoint, so signing off for now. šš»
Constitutionally he canāt do half the shit heās doing, and yetā¦ā¦
Are you seriously asking me why Iām not advocating violence? Heās a loathsome creature, & I despise his viewpoints, but we out maneuver political opponents in America, we donāt shoot them.
Itās all horrible.
I get it, but we canāt condone violence.
Iām not going to assume a shooting is staged. If that turned out to be the case, well obviously Iād feel differently in this situation, but overall, we just donāt shoot people we disagree with.
I donāt like Charlie Kirk, heās an absolute asshole, but we donāt shoot people we dislike ffs!
What the hell!

OMG, the WH is literally holding the South Korean detainees HOSTAGE. They delayed the charter flight while Marco Rubio met with South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun to discuss ways to "strength their alliance and revitalize American manufacturing through South Korean investments." #AAPI
Itās pathetic that the Trump administration is delaying the charter flight for the South Korean detainees to negotiate more South Korean investments in the U.S. Why would South Korea make any investments in the U.S. when its citizens are rounded up like animals by the fascist regime? #Momsky
"Kavanaugh penned a concurrence confirming that, yes, the conservative justices are motivated by gutter racism, and they absolutely do intend to shred five decades of jurisprudence. YOUāRE GODDAMN RIGHT THEY ORDERED THE CONSTITUTIONAL CODE RED, SON! And theyāll do it again." ā @lizdye.bsky.social
The only reason why Putin would send drones into Poland would be that he doesn't believe Donald Trump would ultimately honor America's commitment to NATO and he wants to test that proposition.
Did a flight delay every cost you money? Force you to stay overnight? Pay for meals? Trump just killed a new reg that would have forced airlines to compensate you when itās their fault: $200 to $775 in cash. Free meals, lodging and rebookings. Puff! That wonāt happen.
A story in 3 parts ā 1. ICE got the targetās number and a warrant to get its location 2. However, the trace wasnāt precise as it showed the target was in an area covering 30 blocks 3. ICE then asked a court for a Stingray-type device to get an accurate location. The court granted the request.

Why are prices so high? Our countryās biggest trading partners are Canada, China, and Mexico. And the āstable geniusā thinks starting trade wars with all three at once was a winning strategy. This is not America First, itās America Faceplant. #Trumpflation
Trump can spend all day lying about how great the economy is under him, but Americans are telling the truth about the reality they are facing each day. When Americans are making videos about a can of coffee, you know #Trumpflation is real, and so is their struggle to make ends meet.

Trump broke his campaign promises: Hardworking moms and families can't afford the rising costs of housing, healthcare, childcare, food, diapers, eldercare, and utilities, which are getting higher & higher under Trump and Republican leadership. Stop #Trumpflation
#Trumpflation is hitting America and Florida like a boulder. Hard-working families are struggling to pay for groceries and now have to turn to food pantries for help. Trump promised lower prices on āday one,ā and he failed to deliver. Grocery bills don't lie, but he does.
Moms know when kids try to hide not eating veggies; and know when Trump is trying to hide whatās really happening with our economy: Prices & unemployment are rising. Help spread the truth: *Take a pic of price tag or bill that makes you gasp & share it with #Trumpflation it to help create change.
Americans are getting squeezed from both sides of the Trump economy. #Trumpflation is driving up costs on one side and job losses all from the chaos of these last nine months on the other. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/b...

That is very true. He cares nothing for others, yet wants to be worshipped and adored. He clearly has deep rooted psychological issues.

Itās almost like lower sales, layoffs and business closures was the goal. Ask-who benefits? Anyone buying up foreclosures. Anyone getting more business as small businesses close. Anyone raising prices while blaming tariffs with TMT bonuses and stock buybacks
