    “Right-wing groups have been responsible for over ten times more terror attacks than left-wing groups since 2002, according to a study conducted by the ADL. The Justice Department recently found similar numbers in its own study. It recently scrubbed that study from its website.”

    Lol.

    This sounds just as ridiculous as “Accountants can’t make $2 + $2 = $1 trillion like MAGA wants.”

    Well they canceled Jimmy Kimmel for pointing out this very thing, then put on their other face and said they’re going after “hate speech”…. Right after the president tried ramping up the hate and saying it was the lefts fault. So I guess if they’re taking “hate speech” so seriously they need to take a good loooong look at themselves in the mirror

    Its no fun when you can’t make a lie stick. For people that really believe you make the truth it must sting when you find out you cant.

    Can they even make the narrative stick that it was a 30-06? People need to be looking into that more. A 30-06 is a gun meant to take down an Elk or a Grizzly Bear. I don’t think the video we saw lines up with the 30-06 narrative.

    Not going to. This was all predicted by people smarter than I, during the first Trump admin.

    MAGAt gets primed for violence for years. MAGAt figures out he’s been lied to all along. MAGAt uses that penchant for violence on the scum that has been lying to him. The only difference is that people assumed politicians would be the target.

    1.) His steam acct name was apparently DonaldTrump, no progressive or liberal is going to want to be associated with that, even ironically.

    2.) If you didn’t vote in '22 or '24 & you were legally able, you’re not a progressive or liberal, full stop.

      I find it very hard to believe that that username would be available on Steam even in 2018 or whenever he made the account, unless you just mean the username that you can change to anything and not the actual login username associated with an account and profile

    The officials also voiced that it would be difficult to bring federal charges against Robinson, as Robinson allegedly committed the crime in Utah and is a resident of the Beehive State. Furthermore, Kirk was an influencer activist, and not an elected official.

      Exactly. Not an assassination. I hate that people keep calling it that.

        I’ve never heard being elected official as a criteria for the term, the dictionary definition of assassination is

        “the premeditated act of killing someone suddenly or secretively, especially a prominent person.”

        And there have been plenty of non-electoral assassinations, including those by (or of) mob figures, journalists, and many others.

        It’s still an assassination. The definition is broad enough to include the killing of any public figure by surprise attack.

            He was more popular than Jesus, so that checks out. I highly doubt Kirk even had a security crew of note. Doesn’t have one now, though! 😂 😂 😂

    Charlie could have been run over by a monster truck with TRUMP painted on the side with a fuck your feelings flag and the driver could have worn a maga hat and cut off sleeves shirt and the right would still try to connect it to LGBTQ+.

    I love how any time someone clearly has ties to the right-wing they’re a “troubled individual.”

      I haven’t encountered many right-wingers who weren’t “troubled individuals”.

      Or at least individuals with very troubling opinions and beliefs.

    That they keep trying instead of finding the relationship that do exist says everything you need to know to oppose everything they do.
