    The Minnesota political assassinations were less than 3 months ago.

    These fuckers are just freaked out that the people they encourage their followers to shoot may be starting to shoot back.

      It’s probably a disgruntled MAGAt, although the fact that they are still at large probably means they are too smart to have been a MAGAt.

      Then again, if it were a white male with a red hat they probably could have slipped in and out pretty easily. Has anyone done the math on how far the shot was?

        IMO it doesn’t matter who it is any more than it matters that vaccines are safe, Magats will make up their own story. 20 years of social media saying the guy’s a hard right nutcase will just be considered a liberal conspiracy.

    And this is not a controversial person. This is not polarizing guy, a divisive person

    He’s like Socrates

    Fox News hosts are simply unbearable.

    “The enemy within”, “Rats”, “Demon-crats”

    The Nazis dehumanized the Jews like this

    Political violence is of course bad… but as soon as you call for it, especially indirectly, you deserve whatever comes to you. Stochastic terrorism is still terrorism, and there’s not a lot more American than the fact we don’t negotiate with terrorists.

    He’s like Socrates. He asks questions, and he does it with a smile. And there’s nothing controversial about saying, ‘socialism is worse than capitalism. Men and women are different. Let’s put America first,’ because that’s all he was about, putting America first.

    Guy isn’t even cold and they’re moving on to more culture war bullshit.

    My brother in christ, your side had already deployed the military on American soil and kidnapped our neighbors, this ain’t a start of a war, it’s engaging with an active invasion.

      What?

      Has it even been a week since Trump himself declared war on Chicago?

      Don’t act like any escalation is because one piece of shit got got. Whatever comes next was co.ing anyways.

      If what happened today has any effect on Trump’s timeline, it likely slows it down.

      Every piece of shit just got reminded that this is still America. 40% of people have easy access to a gun, and most Americans can buy one in under an hour.

      They’re going to calm down, at least in person. Violence is about the only thing that keeps fascist out of daylight, especially when they already control the government

    I love that these two bit conmen are all like “they’re at war with us?!” When they’ve been trying to incite war with “us” for the past decade or so. It’s hilarious how it’s now all our fault. Also, Jesse Watters is a cunt and a deplorable human being. Let me know when someone of worth has something to say.

      They’re the same people who think it’s the Palestinians who are the attackers. They’re classic, boring, textbook bullies who don’t like it when the kid they’re torturing gives a free one to the nose and so they run to the teacher crying.
