I'm sure Leon's X will be a mess for a few more days but the general public has probably already moved on.

(197,191 posts)They are walking up to the civil war line. Fox is pushing them there too. Unfortunately as weve seen if one of the more influential MAGA steps over others will probably follow or at least add their mark on it and that has influenced Trump before - the Doge Kid & DC.

(3,993 posts)A young, very influential, man(husband and father) with a huge following, was brutally murdered in broad daylight. The video was then immediately circulated to spread the horror far and wide.
Now, I dont agree with one fucking thing that Charlie Kirk said, but I am asking: Why?

(10,357 posts)The cops still havent successfully IDd or caught his killer yet and the manhunt is proving entertaining. The leak about the alleged engraved bullets and its subsequent collapse makes me wonder just how competent the pursuers are proving to be. Theres also speculation that the killer may or may not have already left Utah, either by auto or by private plane and is still at large.
Right wing-nuts usually dont provide this much entertainment value after their vital signs reach room temperature, but Charlie Kirk seems to be defying the odds.

Senate Republicans trigger 'nuclear option,' changing rules to speed up Trump nominees
The new rule, established by the GOP on party lines, will enable them to confirm Trump nominees in groups, rather than individually. It's the latest move to erode minority powers.
