U.S. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), an ally to President Donald Trump, is in hot water over a social media post.
Lee on Sunday took to X and posted a photo of a man accused of posing as a police officer and shooting two Democratic lawmakers and their spouses.
Along with the image, Lee confusingly wrote, “This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way.”
I’m betting the dipshit missed the part where the shooters family and social circle all repeatedly and consistently confirmed that the dude was a hardcore maga dipshit and “very religious”
Apparently there’s some bullshit narrative being pushed by Fox that Tim Walz is somehow responsible.
I mean, orangeboi apparently did try to cast the blame at Walz’s feet, which is absolute, categorical bullshit of the große Lüge variety
He does seem like he knows his was around a political assassination false flag, dontchaknow
“religious”
The Christian Nationalist movement had long been reported as the biggest threat to America, by several of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies.
Playing No True Scotsman doesn’t help anything.
I’m okay with saying either:
Religions are the problem. The unquestioning loyalty and assumed goodness is a breeding ground for heinous thoughts and actions. He was religious in this sense.
or
Violent acts like this aren’t religious, and those who claim they are religious and still do this are co-opting the word “religious” which should connote care for others. He was not religious in this sense.
Either way, my comment “religious” brings to light that the use of this word is irrelevant at best but more likely problematic and misleading.
This is what American Christianity is.
What makes these people “marxist” in their mind? I… just don’t get it.
Neither do they.
When you don’t know the actual definition of words, you can use them to mean anything.
Kinda like how they don’t know what Marxist, Leninist, socialist, globalist, woke, trans, leftist, liberal, or DEI actually mean, so the right just uses them all interchangeably to mean “things I don’t like or that scare me”.
Exactly. It’s just an insult to them.
A while back, one of my Trumper neighbors decided that she didn’t use an elliptical work-out machine that she had bought over 2 years prior. She took it back to the store without a receipt and demanded that they give her money for it - not just store credit - even though it was well past the return date.
When telling me this story, she acknowledged her crazy behavior by saying “haha I was acting like such a liberal.”
In her mind, it’s as simple as “liberal = bad”. The actual definitions of words mean nothing to them.
The actual definitions of words mean nothing to them.
Insert Sartre quote about arguing with antisemites here.
More like grounds for promotion with the current administration.
Yeah he ain’t getting fired. He’ll get a handshake from the Moron-in-chief.
Bet the guy who shot those senators will be quietly pardoned. Fuck, I bet the orange cancer would like to offer him a job!
Last I checked, murder is still illegal in Minnesota - a pardon won’t do much to offset multiple life sentences.
Grounds for?
Fucking spineless. Don’t fucking tolerate that shit. Ever. What the fuck.
Mike Lee is too stupid to understand words.
Mike Lee has always been a piece of fetid shit unworthy of his position. Add this to the pile for when/if the comeuppance arrives.
Fuck Mike Lee.
If Trump makes the same comment, will it be grounds to remove him from office?
