Trump: "For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism we're seeing in our country & it must stop right now. My admin will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity"

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we donât know who shot him.

If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.

(12,800 posts)Millions of Native Americans killed over 5 centuries.
Millions from Africa killed over 5 centuries.
Women brutalized for this time.
Children worked to death in factories.
Union leaders shot to death by the tens of thousands.
College students shot.
Big Pharma risking the lives of millions.

And something inevitably happens to just one on your side and we are supposed to shed big rivers of tears and made to feel guilty if we don't.

(77,863 posts)Getting rich by spreading hate, lies, bigotry, and stupidity. I feel bad for his wife, his kids, and his family
but the World is a better place with him dead. Sadly rich right wingers, Christo Fascist Churches, the
GOP, right wing think tanks, and businesses like the fossil fuel industries will all chip in and pay for
the next Charlie Kirk because stirring things up and scratching the racist, sexist, and the antiintellectualisn
itches of the 35% of Americans who buy into the lies that the right has spewing out for decades because
that is good for their businesses.
