Well, the Right now has their martyr.

[Tommy Carcetti]

And they will be relentless about it.

Damn it. There will be blowback.

Just be glad that idiot in Butler missed, because that would have been 100 times worse.

[Ocelot II]

1. That might be premature. They don't even have a perp yet, let alone a motive.

[Tommy Carcetti]

3. It doesn't matter.

The Butler idiot was a registered Republican, and yet that didn't stop them from blaming us for it.

[obamanut2012]

14. 100% agree

[newdeal2]

4. So the old man wasn't it?

Sorry I’ve been away for an hour so I may have missed it.

[Ocelot II]

6. No, it wasn't him. They don't have anyone in custody now.

[newdeal2]

9. That's quite surprising and scary

Hope they catch them before they do anything to anyone else.

[RT Atlanta]

5. Agreed....

The republicans will give their usual 'prayers' platitudes, sure as hell will not lift a finger to attempt to change the prevalence of gun violence through legislation, and this murder will be forgotten by everyone but Kirk's family members by Friday.

2. Maybe Trump ordered the hit

8. Perfect distraction from Epstein.

What wouldn’t they do to get their Helter Skelter on?

[Jerry2144]

12. I don't think trump had the mental facilities to plan it

If it were planned as an event rhyming with those of the 1920-1940 Germany, I would suspect the one who looks like he’s Peewee German.

I very much doubt it was something like that. It more likely was just an extreme individual acting alone. That's a simple explanation which is more likely than any elaborate conspiracy.

7. It Didn't Stop Them Before

Even though the Butler shooter was (supposedly) a Trump supporter, they blamed it on "the radical left." The most recent school shooter was also into RW ideology, yet they blamed it on her being transgender. So, it doesn't matter what the actual shooter's motive was. We're going to get blamed for it.

10. In other words, MAGA will just continue being the giant fucking assholes that they always have been.

[Raven123]

11. Wait till Trump finds out.

No way he can tolerate someone besides himself holding that title.

[demmiblue]

13. Watters is already stoking the fires:

Fox Host Jesse Watters: They are at war with us. Whether we want to accept it or not, they are at war with us. And what are we going to do about it?

15. Oh, please

*rump has always been their martyr and their living god, every MAGAt is a martyr and a victim.

THIS is THEIR "blowback." They own it.

The fearful Dem thing, it's gotten old.

16. He'll join Ashley Babbitt on the martyrs pedestal. n/t
