Once again, political violence stems from Republican ideology.

      “Why aren’t Americans doing anything?”

      Those are trolls trying to cause chaos. It’s obviously suicide if anyone does what the trolls are telling them to do.

        It’s sort of why I’m vocal when I see those comments pop up. Remind them that it’s a stupid position to have to start with, anyone actually planning to do something knows what OPSEC is, and they know any action has to be extraordinarily precise, not just shooting at feds.

          More people need to do this, anybody calling for violence on social media is either a provocateur/non-US National or a dangerously naive American who will cause more harm than good.

          There are many roads to a good outcome through peaceful means, once someone starts to resort to violence the options rapidly become limited. Anyone who thinks that we should move into that second world is actively dangerous to everyone that lives in the US.

      He was just exercising his Second Amendment rights! And apparently the right to bear fuel as well. Maybe he just wanted to talk with his hero about the pizzagate evidence he’s sure must be in those files someplace. I’m pretty sure we only have the officers’ word he brandished the gun.

      Euro-Lemmings believe both that Americans are recklessly married to vigilante political violence and also that they don’t do anything ever, it just depends on whatever belief, at any given point in time, allows them to whine about the US.

          Yeah I whine about it a lot too, the point is that there is literally no action an American can take that’s correct. Do something? Rash, juvenile, doomed to fail, too violent, they should have large protests and walkouts instead. Protest in the street? Too civil, pointless, also doomed to fail, why aren’t Americans taking up arms by the millions to kill the government. Every action is the wrong one.

    But it’s still the Radical Left who’s at fault.

    He drove himself there in his own car, right? He “trans”-ported himself? Trump told us the trans community was dangerous!

      He often complained that young people needed more than one job to survive and had tried to start a union at his workplace to push for better wages.

      Sounds like a radical lefty to me! Case closed boys.

      You could read off a socialist manifesto and 90% of republicans would completely agree as long as you didn’t say any buzzwords. The mental disconnect is astounding.

        That’s actually the point. They’re trained with a Pavlovian reaction to specific words. Their pundits and influencers have trained them with this twisted, inverted “Evil Sesame Street” programming to react with unhinged rage to specific words and phrases. In many cases they largely want the same things, but actually describing those things is impossible because of this conditioning.

    As predicted, the gunman was a armed, dangerous and stupid right winger. Actually too stupid to check if his target was actually on location.

    One thing about a large supply of armed idiots is that this offers more chances. They only need to get lucky once…

    Meanwhile Trump posts an AI generated video of himself punching Canadian hockey players.

        Think that’d work out just fine for him because if a player attempted to retaliate, he has his secret service agents there to gun them down.

          And, yes I understand that Trump would never do anything that required it to be fair.

      Which is explicitly and purposefully what they accused Kimmel of and with which they attempted to remove him from tv. That air/cable is treated differently is very 1980s, and should be adjusted to the reality of today.

      Imagine you spent maybe a decade at this point carrying water for mr mango mussolini, and because of it family members and friends stopped talking with you…only for you to finally realise, in 2026, that you spent that whole time looking like an absolute loser braindead clown while you defended a treasonous criminal pedo.
