So one Magat kills another Magat in a 1930s gangland style hit job and

[Gaugamela]

we're all supposed to beat our chests and do their soul searching for them? This is their shit. It's all "in the family," as they say. An internal squabble in MagaLand.

Nor is there anything new about this. We've known how deluded and violent they can be for ten years now, if not longer. The national question shouldn't be "O what on god's green earth are we going to do about the rise in political violence?" The question is, "What the fuck is this deadly social contagion that has taken over half the country?"

Kirk had talked about staging public executions and making it mandatory for children to watch. Who was he going to condemn? Adam Schiff? Liz Cheney? Jamie Raskin? AOC? The gays? College professors? Can you imagine your 5th grader sitting in his or her classroom forced to watch the video feed? And Brian Kilmeade suggests that we euthanize the homeless population. Apparently, he thinks this is an opportune time to target the most vulnerable population among us for death camps. Are they going to televise that as well in the name of their precious Christianity? Their cross is the new swastika. --- But this is all gutless, spineless big talk. These guys have emasculated themselves. It's all just ugly, empty theatre to make themselves feel important.

Nor am I impressed with MAGA's dipshit social media announcements declaring "THIS IS WAR!" Do these people realize just how pathetic and stupid they sound? It's like a construction foreman hits his own thumb with a hammer and starts threatening all the other guys around him. And what do they think they're going to do anyway? Rally up like the Army of Northern Virginia and march on Baltimore? No, they'll just shoot more school children to prove how big and strong and brave they are. But we already knew they're going to do that.

Nothing has changed. Donald Trump is still the limp yammering deliquescing soulless bleb he was a week ago. He's still underwater on everything. His policies are still driving inflation and undermining the economy and his diaper still stinks. The Epstein Files are still about to be pried from Bondi's cold corrupt Bride-of-Frankenstein hands. The lower courts are still going to mostly rule against him, and SCOTUS will only go so far to back him up. It'll be rough going and a lot of people are going to get hurt, but we will win. There is no other option.

It's time to break the spell. Let the dead bury the dead. We need to start driving the narrative again.

1. Send in the national guard, that place is like the Wild West!

[Prairie Gates]

2. REMINDER: Nobody has any idea why this happened at this point

Least of all commenters on the internet.

[WarGamer]

3. +100 nt

[Gaugamela]

5. You're waiting for Kash Patel to tell you the Truth, are you? MAGA is going to

believe what they want to believe. My whole point is this shows how pathetically weak they are. Let the dead bury the dead.

10. We do know it was a white male

We have seen this many times , a young man feeling he is owed something and takes it out on others. He also had gun worshipping parents. The internet Sherlock squad has done quite a bit of digging and Fuentes is a bit uncomfortable. The feds aren’t going to tell you but I’m trusting the sleuths. Back to your cope.

[MacKasey]

17. Are you thinking that Fuentes put a hit on Kirk?

And now in true Mafia style the Kirk people go after Fuentes?

[Keepthesoulalive]

19. Not known

But he felt Kirk was not right wing enough and he did not agree with his support for Israel . They cared about nothing but power and a power struggle will have intrigue.

8. Well before you spike the ball at the one.

This could not be good....from axios:

Authorities are investigating whether Tyler Robinson, suspected of killing Charlie Kirk, believed Kirk's views on gender identity were "hateful" to people like Robinson's transgender roommate, six sources familiar with the case tell Axios.

Why it matters: Investigators believe Robinson's anger at Kirk's views could be a key to establishing a motive for the slaying of the controversial activist whose death sent shockwaves through American politics.

Each of the six sources familiar with the investigation told Axios that investigators believe Robinson had a romantic relationship with his roommate.
Axios' sources said investigators initially wanted the information about the roommate's gender identity kept quiet because that person is being "extremely cooperative" with authorities.

The roommate was "aghast" at the slaying when speaking to investigators and shared electronic messages sent by Robinson, one of the sources said.
"That's what happened? Oh my God, no," the roommate said, according to the source. "Here are all the messages."
The phone messages indicated a sender listed as "Tyler" had mentioned that after the shooting, he had wrapped his rifle in a towel and stashed it in some bushes near Utah Valley University, where the shooting occurred, Gov. Spencer Cox said Friday during a news conference.
"Tyler" also told the roommate in writing that the rifle would have to be retrieved, Cox said.

11. They have come up with all types of smoke

The right wing will tell any fable they can think of to distance themselves from this little maganut

[TheDemsshouldhireme]

13. I dunno

roommates is Lance Twiggs, this could be RW wet dream. Six sources seems solid and Axios is pretty respectable. I really worry about retribution violence.

[Keepthesoulalive]

16. I am not worried

Fuentes was very worried because lies can swing both ways. I watched the podcast and he was attempting to make peace, if there was a trans relationship he would have said so. I have heard a lot of attempting to distract from right wing madness and murder. Picking on transgender is in the right wing bible , don’t let them distract you you.

[Blimey1]

23. Say what you want about Fuentes

But one of his political enemies did show up to his place to kill him, so he probably does need to watch his back.

[GP6971]

24. Are you Fuentes supporter?

[Blimey1]

25. No

He's a cult leader. Maybe once in a rare while he'll say something right, but nobody likes him or groypers except his cult.

[GP6971]

26. Thanks!

[sheshe2]

27. What has Nick ever said that you would consider right...

...Other than his far RW views and a long list of phobias?

Maybe once in a rare while he'll say something right,

Nicholas Joseph Fuentes (born August 18, 1998) is an American far-right[6] political commentator, activist, live streamer and leader of the Groypers who promotes white supremacist,[7] misogynistic,[8][9] homophobic,[9] Islamophobic,[10][11] and antisemitic views. Fuentes has promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories against Jews, called for a "holy war" against them,[12][13] and has denied the Holocaust.[14] He has been described as a neo-Nazi by various sources.[15][16][17] Fuentes identifies as a member of the incel movement,[18] a supporter of authoritarianism, an integralist, and a Christian nationalist.[5][19]

37. Good question, with crickets for an answer.

[Keepthesoulalive]

29. And

[marble falls]

38. Live stupid and he just might die stupid, right?

[Keepthesoulalive]

34. It is now reported he is not trans

So there goes that bullshit excuse me.

[Diraven]

12. I seriously doubt this

That the shooter was totally motivated by Kirk disrespecting his trans lover is exactly the story the right wants now to absolve themselves of any responsibility and to justify a murderous holy war of righteous revenge on trans people (again), which way too conveniently was exactly what many in the right were pushing before anyone knew anything about the shooter. I smell a right wing conspiracy troll here.

[TheDemsshouldhireme]

14. I guess we will have to wait

to see what the shooter says, why he did it.

[still-prayin4rain]

32. It's like waiting to hear what Maxwell says. He'll likely say what they want him to say.

[Keepthesoulalive]

35. It is a right wing lie to make excuses

For his murder of their favorite bigot. So they try to distance him from his master.

[yliza]

15. Well said! Great read, and I learned a new word as a bonus :)

“Deliquesce: become liquid, typically during decomposition”. I can’t think of a better description of fat hitler.

[Nimble_Idea]

18. charlie kirk is worm food, and he will poison the worms. RIP worms.

[rubbersole]

20. The whole rw shtick is to rile up the "base" hoping for violence.

They just lose their shit when it happens to themselves. The spinning starts with blaming someone from a marginalized group and they repeat it to each other until it's true in their echo chamber. Rinse and repeat.

[slightlv]

21. I am already so sick of charlie kirk I want to vomit.

Nobody on the left who's killed in a mass murder, or a targeted "hit" is even remembered, much less mourned or honored for their service. Yet we're suppose to laud a man who spoke only of hate and cruelty? No... I don't think so. I have just one line going thru my head since this happened: Live by the sword; die by the sword. charlie kirk got what he always wanted... martyrdom to his cruelty. May his name forever live in infamy.

[Dulcinea]

22. Same here.

I'm not a fan of the way Charlie Kirk met his demise, but I'm not sorry he's dead. A substantial chunk of America doesn't care either. Mourn for all the school kids killed by maniacs with guns. That is all.

[Jack Valentino]

28. But weren't "1930s style gangland hits" committed much more often UP CLOSE and personal,

and often with automatic weapons----

rather than by a long-range shooter in a rather 'surgical' method, such as is the case here??

(Other than that, I wouldn't take exception with anything else that you said,
except that this was '1930s gangland style'....)

[Keepthesoulalive]

30. I don't think he wanted to die

Which would have happened, he was a sniper. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t gang violence.

[Jack Valentino]

31. Sure, it was 'gang violence', but I question only the term

"1930's style gangland violence" as a characterization of this long-range shooting...

[Keepthesoulalive]

33. Unfortunately our ideas come from Hollywood

The hits as they were called may have been close range but dead men tell no tales. There may have been snipers but history tells us they were shot not whether it was close range or not. If you witnessed anything, you would pretend to be blinded by the sun at night. So the way they were murdered didn’t matter. The message was sent and received.

[Jack Valentino]

36. Yeah, agreed...
