    Meanwhile, in the US, we let them run a “newspaper” whose name sounds convincing because it’s a mashup of the names of two actual newspapers.

      I always appreciate that the US has a broad daylight KCIA op influencing a terrifying number of republicans, they love that shit

        In EVERY case where the Republicans complain about something it’s because they are projecting, it’s actually something they are doing instead. So when you hear about “deep state” this and “shadow government” that, well, there you go.

        I’m sure 2nd amendment gun nuts would use this as an excuse to say even in the most restrictive environment gun violence can still occur hence gun control is pointless and zero gun control is the only way…

        I’d say its the exception to prove the rule. One death is shocking there and promoting response. Compare that to schools getting shot up while the GOP salivates over using the tragedy to push “private religious schools”…

        If anything the lesson is that violence will occur but societally it should never be tolerated in any form.

        Not for the sake of an AR-15 and certainly not for the sake of a predatory religion/cult.
