Remember, Trump "couldn't care less" about the unity of our country. What kind of leader says that? And after all the jaw dropping craziness since then, it's business as usual in the MSM. Thank you for being a voice of sanity, Mr. Mike!
Someone on this platform already proposed a great idea: Encourage your dem -Congressman’s to bring a bill to the floor, and call it: “THE CHARLIE KIRK GUN SAFETY BILL.” Meanwhile, when 99% of these spineless, pathetic, sycophant’s for Trump are on record -VOTING AGAINST THE SAFETY BILL, we remind voters early and often! Because that’s my job visa-vie the phone bank right before the all important “midterms.”
P.S. Speaking of Maga-Morons, no one is a bigger hypocrite than: majority leader: Maga-Mike-“Little Johnson.” He takes an early recess back in August to avoid releasing the -EPSTEIN FILES! Now, he facies telling us that his beloved cult-leader-Taco is an FBI-informant! And; during the recess Maga-Mike took the opportunity to send, taxpayer funded, LNG-troops to support his favorite: cult-leader/pedophile in chief to D.C,to take part in brutalizing hardworking Americans! By the way, Maga-Mike represents a red-debtor state called: “Louisiana” one of the highest, if not the highest murder rate in the country…..
Kirk was a huckster. He used and monetized religion, race, national origin and politics in order to advance his own pecuniary interests and in that respect he was no different from so many who populate the media landscape nowadays. But now in death, Trump and the rest of the Republican hucksters will elevate him to martyrdom or even sainthood in order to extract more money from the gullible, resentful, and ignorant who soak up this malarkey.
Consequently what this country needs is not a good 10 cent cigar but rather enough people who do not need to be spoon fed what to think or how to act. Critical thinking is only an effort when it is not practiced regularly or at all but if we want to get out of this morass a lot more people are going to have to put on their thinking caps.
Charlie Kirk would better have been described as a Christian Nationalist, not your garden variety Christian who believes in following the example of Jesus in the Gospels.
Mike, I agree. I'd take it 1 step further. They'll be the ones responsible for the next assassin/mass shooting event by glorifying all of this. The main 1 responsible? Romney, considering how much money he makes from the NRA.
Stop focusing on the shooters. Focus on the survivors of the events.
Of course they are, here is my commentary from earlier today in Raw Story, saying pretty much the same. "How Donald Trump is making America politically violent again"
Rizz-free JD, Marine clerk-typist in an air-conditioned office, demonizes the left-wing extremists who commit TWO PERCENT of violent crimes. Seventy-four percent of shootings and sex crimes are committed by white MAGA men, and Muslim extremists account for the rest.
Food stamps and the GI Bill advanced James Donald before he pulled up the ladder behind him. Nine years ago, the “never-Trump guy” called him “an opioid.”
When political violence becomes just another partisan tool, it compounds the damage. The real danger isn’t only the act itself, but how leaders choose to exploit it afterward.
"Because when something like that happens, it shakes people’s faith in democracy, in the system, in this country." There's the flaw in your argument - people's faith in democracy, the system and in this country is already gone. Kirk's death isn't a sign that the pillars are crumbling underneath us... those pillars are gone. We're all down here in the muck together. Our leaders - politics, press and business - made sure of this. It's almost certainly too late to fix this.
That’s exactly correct. They have weaponized every government agency, every violent event since 2015.

They are playing right out of Sh!tlers playbook Mein Kampf—-we know their plans why aren’t we stopping them?
Yes could have been a moment of unity! Brilliant and a lost opportunity.

Just use the word Christian. . .

This is a murder that I wouldn't support but it doesn't qualify as an assassination.

They ARE doing that, and have been before. You are so correct on this.
They even pretend to cry. It's so gross

You read my mind about the fantasy of leaders from both parties at the WH calling for an end to the violence.
Well said!
