    But don’t dare say anything bad about Charlie Kirk, even if it’s a direct quote of his hateful rhetoric.

      “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      Or, pithier:

      The rules for sheep don’t apply to lions.

        I mean, it’s just so plainly and obviously true yet for some reason almost no one sees it.

    If he was killed for being anti-Trump, then doesn’t that just confirm which side is more prone to political violence? I’m not seeing how this admission is good for him.

      Fear. At that point maybe even he realized that people don’t like him. So it’s pretty good to instigate fear into his opponents.

      Make them scared to speak up, make them scared to publicly disagree. While being open about violating privacy on social media.

    Just can’t stand the spotlight being anywhere but him.

    Trump the pedophile doesn’t realize that if the spot light is always on him, we see every mistake.

      You’re absolutely right. Trump demands the spotlight at all times.

      But also, I think your comment is an example of what Trump’s enemies still do not understand about him.

      To Donald Trump, no publicity is bad publicity.

      Even if it’s “bad publicity”.

      If the media is talking about Trump’s mistakes, then Trump’s minions will be all over the news defending Trump and arguing with the people attacking Trump. Trump’s supporters will believe the people defending him, Trump’s opponents will keep being his opponents, and moderates will dismiss the whole argument as just another political he said she said.

      And Trump will be the center of the news cycle for yet another day, and become even stronger in his position as the leader of the Republican Party and the biggest celebrity in America.

      Jesus fucking Christ, we had four years of the Biden administration trying to get Trump on anything they could, four years of daily headlines about Trump being accused of crimes, or being arraigned for crimes, or being arrested for crimes, and Trump went into the 2024 election more popular than he was in 2020.

      If you talk about Trump, he wins.

      The only way to beat Trump, as hard as it is, is to fucking ignore him and talk about what the American people actually need instead.

    Donnys inevitable death will have the same global reaction as the montage at the end of Return of the Jedi but with more cheering, dancing, and music.

      Seismologists should start investigating whether there is any inherent danger to the tectonic plates shifting, should approximately nine billion people start jumping up and down for joy and dancing in the streets

        Yes definitely! I’m not a drinker but the day this happens I’m gonna go to the liquor store and buy bottles of champagne and wine and party like it’s Independence Day because it will be anew holiday when this monster is gone.

          I’m a drinker and the day Orange Diaper Baby kicks it, I’ll be heading to our fine neighborhood bottle shop, which is owned and run by some East Indians, to acquire some celebratory brews. One thing I’d love to be able to buy is a strong IPA brewed explicitly to celebrate Donny’s demise. I’m not sure if the brewers are clever enough to see the market for such a thing, and also not sure if the Narcissist In Chief will give enough notice to get the fermenting done in time. Just imagine what could be done with the artwork on the products - instant collector’s items.

    Wouldn’t liberals cheer Robe Reiner?

    So he is saying he believes a MAGA killed him for being anti-Trump?

    [yes I know his son is alleged to have done it, unrelated to politics]

    What’s most concerning is the message this sends his supporters… It’s totally alright to murder people who are “bad for the country.” Very sad, yes, but totally deserved because he had TDS…

    And this asshole continues to talk about himself in the third person, too.

    All very completely normal stuff.

    But the cons have to politicize everything. They have politicized the weather, for fucks sake. They politicized vaccines. And now they have even politicized fonts.

    Everything he says directly reflects on the US now and into the future.

    Tin-foil hat time: I’d bet $ Trump put out a hit on Reiner and his wife.

    Edit: Looks like Reiner’s son was arrested for the murders. takes off tinfoil hat

    Oh look, Trump is copying Netty the Butcher’s call to Australia over the Bondi shooting.

    “It’s all about me.”
