Brazil’s former wannabe Dictator Bolsonaro has officially been convicted and sentenced to 27 years in prison for inciting an insurrection after losing an election.
And that’s how it’s done, Brazil understood the assignment unlike the United States.
If the murderer came from a blue state Trump would’ve already invaded.
Remember when two elected democrats that didn’t spew hate were brutally murdered and how the GOP and Trump did nothing to commemorate them?
Wonder what the difference is now?
Now that we know the shooter came from a Mormon family, will the right declare a Civil War on Mormons?
But this is totally different. He can use this killing to call for martial law and send more troops into our cities.
Dead kids mean nothing to him.
These motherfuckers wanna lecture me about political violence?
I think not
"Why are the flags at half mast?"
"I don't know, was it the school shooting?"
"No, a podcaster died"
Have they ever lowered the flag for the little slaughtered children? 👠
Congress passed a bipartisan law long ago mandating that a plaque honoring the officers who defended Capitol on J6 be displayed in the building. Mike Johnson has ignored that law and refuses to do it.
See? It CAN be done.
Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.
Let’s not politicize the Charlie Kirk shooting. This is a time for thoughts and prayers.
Turns out the lesser evil was funding AIDS treatment and cancer research and clean energy projects and healthcare and food banks and school lunches.
Oh, and the lesser evil wasn’t sending masked men and troops into our cities, openly defying court orders, or firing doctors and scientists.
Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.
I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.
They’ll ask you to mourn the deaths they mourn, and no others. They’ll ask you to cherish the lives they cherish, and no others.
Hey, that’s the price of freedom. At least that’s what I’ve heard.
I recall someone saying that the price of freedom is random people being murdered.
And I also recall them saying that was an acceptable toll to pay.
Rambo - The movie quote 'They drew first blood, not me'.
No, fuck you. Two democratic politicians were assassinated, in cold blood and it went out of the news in a couple days.
Fuck Charlie Kirk, Fuck your media, Fuck this outcry.
Looking forward to the President who pardoned rioters that attacked Congress weighing in on political violence never being acceptable.
This is * chef’s kiss *
I feel such anger and sadness about what cost us a 6–3 liberal majority :
🔹Dems voting for Ralph Nader in 2000
🔹Dems staying home or voting for Jill Stein in 2016, 2024
🔹RBG not retiring under Obama
🔹McConnell stealing 2 SCOTUS seats with barely a whimper from Democrats
I’ve seen this thinking when it comes to Trump. Literally the more evidence he’s a piece of shit the more they believe he’s innocent.
Two-panel cartoon. Top panel: A scientist points at a scatter plot with a line showing the general trend. Most points follow the line, with one red dot far away labeled “Outlier.” Caption: “General trend.” Bottom panel: A man in an “ANTI VAXX” shirt points at the same graph, but calls the trend line “Lies” and the single outlier “IRREFUTABLE PROOF!!!” Caption: “CONSPIRACY THEORY.”
Hate to stir the pot, but kinda spot on.
Tammy nails it
Great idea!
