    There’s nothing good about this. But your country has been through this shit before with opinionated and loud people— George Wallace had his spine severed by some impulsive nut who didn’t like his mouth. Larry Flynt was nearly assassinated by a racist serial killer. Things like this have happened before.

    I remember seeing Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy being killed within a couple of months of each other. The country survived that and it will survive this. Guns survived the 60s and it will survive this also.

    I definitely think in the short term, political vloggers and TV pundits are gonna be hard to find off camera. Kinda like how a lot of billionaire CEOs just kinda vanished post-Luigi.

    Also, sounds like they have no idea who did it.

    Sure would be nice to have FBI agents who have worked cases and aren't detailed to immigration enforcement. Alas.

    Yankees held a moment of silence for Kirk at their game tonight. Tomorrow, for the anniversary of 9/11, they will be holding a moment of silence for Osama Bin Laden, who similarly died of gun violence.

    Just in case I miss something unexpected, could someone wake me up when America is great again?

    They’re trying to ward off retaliatory copycat events.

    There’s a remote chance men in suits and sunglasses could be coming to visit. I received this email from my congresscunt’s office:

    IMG_9332.jpeg

    And I felt compelled to respond:


    “Did he really say that? Before Kirk’s blood had time to congeal, a sitting Congressman used it to attack those on the other side of the aisle?

    Who’s the deranged one here?

    From a former Republican voter turned Independent here’s a quote for Nick: Fuck you, you fucking opportunistic ghoul. If you’re looking for the reason this country is the way it is, take a look in the mirror you piece of shit.”

    To clarify, this is the feeling after school shootings too.

    Perhaps a bit past that stage, I think we've seen the greatly fucked, past the pregnancy test, significantly past the 'a little bit pregnant' and at the point of just 'about to drop'. But to look on the bright side, there has been plenty of diaper (nappies for the rest of the world) filling practice available.

    Hey y'all, wouldn't it be fucked if Trump had Kirk killed to distract everyone from all the Epstein stuff (which does not seem to be blowing over)?

    I don't think he'd waste his shot (heh) on a mere distraction. If we see some post-Reichstag-fire shit in the next few weeks, then the theory becomes more plausible.
