    They attack and they attack. When a perceived attack happens they act like now is the time to attack. Just like yesterday and the day before.

    Their projection will become a well deserved prophecy. These Confederates will regret provoking otherwise peaceful people into war.

    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.

    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.

      We didn’t know who shot Kirk. The last few attempts on Republicans were also conducted by Republicans.

        Maga was spreading the news that the shooter was a liberal within minutes. The vast majority will believe that they’re under attack by liberals despite any news or facts to the contrary. Anything else will be viewed as another conspiracy.

        Reality is not a place where Maga and Fox News live.

          The shooter could be a live long Republican with the parents, spouse, and kids all being Republicans. They could have the dog trained to attack minorities and they could be someone that was very publicly vocal about every and all Republican talking points.

          But they’d find a single photo where they are wearing a blue shirt and say they’ve secretly been a Democrat all their life.

          Even if it turns out to be a liberal, that’d make what, 1 in 10 shooters being on the left? 1 in 100? It’s clearly a lefty gun epidemic. If only Republicans could read… Also, no one will ever be caught for this one. That way they can speculate to high heaven and never be wrong.

            If it doesn’t matter if the shooter is conservative, it doesn’t matter if the shooter is progressive.

            We need to stop making things matter when they don’t. Who cares what the shooter was. They never do.

          Or brainwashed by leftists. The idea of a Republican harming a Republican seems to short-circuit them, like a robot with a paradox.

          Yep. I saw someone comment on the shooting earlier today on one of the mainstream articles - first commenter says “liberal violence needs to stop”, next commenter says “both attempts on donnie were Republicans”, third commenter denies that (I’m pretty sure the shooter that broke glass near donnie was a con, not sure about the other guy that set up a backpack near one of his golf courses, but he didn’t even get off a shot).

          They already think the guy that had Taco wearing that performative bandage for weeks on end because of broken glass nearby was a liberal.

          Facts don’t matter to these clowns. At all.

      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.

      “Hey! You guys are supposed to be the ones against guns! You’re not allowed to shoot US!”

      We keep telling them that they aren’t the only ones with guns, but they don’t believe it. And I’ll bet we’re more competent with them as well.

    Funny how when a liberal politician is shot, they’ve been “killed”, but when a conservative influencer is shot, it’s “assassination”.

        No, monarchs and heirs can be assassinated as can appointed officials. It refers to all public figures killed for reasons relating to their being a public figure

    Anyone can see this is a MAGA operation. They are gonna pin it on some Trans person to give them an excuse to take away their right to have a gun. All these MAGAT’s are afraid of less than one percent of the population.
