U.S. Politics

Thoughts and prayers.

Anyway.

But no, would this not be a damning political cudgel?

Man, I posted about the Flint figure in the Joe thread.

Umm.

Be a shame if any other Joes happened to look like somebody, I guess.

Someone make some quick customs.

Oh my god, guys.... call that number. Buy burner phones to call that number. Report MAGA politicians. Report your neighbor with a Trump flag. Report that abandoned house that no one has lived in since 2003 at the end of the block. Flood the zone. We've done it before. We can create jobs for like 10,000 people just to sift through all the bullshit leads.

In Texas we have a senator that I have on good authority changed his name from "Rafael" to "Ted" to appear more American. I feel like he should be investigated immediately.

Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck in Utah.

I am overcome with emotion.

What emotion, I shall leave to the imagination.

Unfortunately, since we do live in this timeline, my immediate thought was they had to sacrifice SOMEBODY for the next step of the plan. I hate that this is where I'm at these days.

My first thought was "yeah sure will he send the National Guard into Mormon and Doomday Prepper Central?" But also yeah, they needed someone to be their Franz Ferdinand.

But also this for it being planned:

Eyewitnesses told the Guardian that Kirk was being questioned about mass shootings when he was shot in the neck.

Deseret News reporter Emma Pitts, who was at the event, said that Kirk was on his second question and that it was “regarding mass shootings”.

“The person he was debating had asked about if he knew how many mass shootings had involved a transgender shooter to which Kirk responded,” Pitts said. Then, “he asked how many mass shootings had [there] been in the last couple of years” and “before he could even answer, we heard a gunshot and we just saw Charlie Kirk’s neck turn to the side and it appeared that he had been shot in the neck”.

Huh.

 

[DarthDre758]

My thoughts are a bit conspiracy-ish.

The saying goes you need to break a few eggs to make an omelette. What if he’s the sacrifice they’re willing to make to further push the whole ban trans people from owning guns thing?

"First stop on the American comeback tour." Seems poetic.

You know I don't condone violence. I also don't condone people not stopping to think, "I wonder why people think the world would be better if I was dead."

I made the mistake of clicking the video.

Dont do that.

 

[JakeEkiss]

Here's the thing, there's no conspiracy necessary at this point. Like, they've sent military forces into American cities, now with Supreme Court backing. That was all before today. There is no need for pretense. We are not in the "they're moving towards fascism" stage. We're in the "what stage of fascism are we in" portion now.

Remember how a couple of congresspeople and their spouses got shot in their homes not three months ago? We are in a cycle of reciprocal stochastic terrorism.

Unrelated but same shades of Handmaid's Tale there's are reports that the new Visa and MC rules on content and what they'll allow you to buy has been anecdotally extended to product and services for DnD, Warcraft, Final Fantasy, etc.

Because broad Fantasy terminology.

@JakeEkiss made me look up stochastic.
