    War against who? Do we have the perpetrator? Do we know their political affiliation? The Trump shooter was a registered Republican. Are they waging war against their own party?

    Obviously they don’t need evidence to be horrifically violent shit stains, they’ve managed that well enough so far.

      I love how some officials are already calling it a “political assassination” and everyone is talking about “political violence” when there’s not even a suspect.

      We don’t know what the shooter’s motives were, but there’s a whole bunch of people who really want this to be political.

        It’s probably not a good idea to beat around the bush with this one. The mango in chief himself is saying this shit (TW: the link is truth dot social).

        At about 3 minutes in:

        “Radical-left violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives.”

        Followed by bullshit about how great of a person Charlie Kirk was, and then

        “Charlie was the best of America and the monster who was attacking him was attacking our whole country”

          the monster who was attacking him was attacking our whole country

          Almost got it. He wasn’t attacking the “whole” country, just MAGA. I doubt that I would have to worry about my safety with the killer. A MAGA Nazi should, though.

            Was he though? Nobody has been arrested and charged yet so for all we know the shooter could be a jilted lover etc. might not even be a “he” for that matter

        I mean, it’s pretty obviously political. We may not know the exact motives but the victim and timing make it clear that politics is involved in one way or another.

        It’s pretty clear it was a political hit. It’s doubtful that his wife hired a hit man sniper to kill him because he was cheating or something.

      The shooter could be a sitting MAGA congressman, and they’d still say he was a liberal.

      When 9/11 happened, they were scheming in the White House the next day about how they could blame this on Iraq, because that’s who they wanted a war with, even though everyone knew that it was Al Qaeda, led by Osama Bin Laden, and financed by Saudi Arabia.
