    They were waiting for an excuse for a long time. If it had not been Kirk, they would have something else sooner or later. If they get violent, it is not because of this shooting, but because violence was part of the idea from day one.

    I fucking hate this website sometimes.

    Yeah guys, high profile assassinations and quickly escalating political violence is just a distraction from files that supposedly prove what we all already know about Trump.

    I don’t feel this very fair to those of us on the Left that have been calling for violence for 8 fucking years now, at least.

      Remember when the one guy who was whiter than Trump wouldn’t go along with their coup and he had to dodge his own secret service agents in order to survive?

    Just the pedos creating a distraction from the Epstein files. GOP voted down their release yesterday.

      It wouldn’t surprise me if GOP killed their own political pawns to at least delay the Epstein files debacle and their own pedophile in chief being implicated in them.

      Probably wanting to delay it for as long as possible until the dude croaks during a live interview.

    Kirk wasn’t even a politician, he was a talking head. And not even an A-lister like Shapiro or Jones. These guys are looking for an excuse to become violent and it didn’t take much.

    Finally. The US can implode like Rome did, but less gloriously, of course.

    From the ashes…well, plants will grow again? I don’t know.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
