All the insane people

It is happening just as we all thought it would. A man is shot and killed during a rally. Some are happy, some are sad. The incompetent law enforcement people are parading one suspect after another, because they haven't a clue as to who did it. They just need someone to pin it on. What if assassinating Kirk was ordered by Trump? After all, killing 11 Venezuelans didn't work. Maybe this new threat will.

Meanwhile, within 24 hours, the Repubs are blaming the Dems for the murder. "Crush them!" cry the Repubs. "Prosecute and kill them all!" Their mothers must be proud of them. What would Jesus do? The flags fly at half staff, the dead guy is receiving the highest civilian award we can give, and no one cares about Epstein, the 11 murdered Venezuelans, or Poland fired upon by Russia. All they know is how to shout out for the prosecution and death of basically every identified Dem they can find.

It was said that Poland came "this close" to war because of the 19 drones launched against them by Russia. Instead, they called out Article 4 and consulted with NATO. And, it is shocking to me that we also seem to be in a war with, well, really despicable people. Our side calls for a reasonable toning down of the rhetoric. Our opponents call for war. All over Charlie MF Kirk.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if our opponents didn't shoot him down themselves, to create this opportunity for further violence. Our side sends out protesters with the caution to remain calm and peaceful. Even the invasion of DC to protect restaurants was relatively peaceful. No rise there. Rumpy threatens Chicago, and that Governor resorts to the courts. No give in, but no rise. It really seems like rumpy et al. want to repeat Hitler's ugly show. It's very odd. Why does anybody want to live under the likes of Donald J. Trump, a loser lowlife who worships gold? He's no leader. He's busy destroying every achievement we have had in the last 75 years.

Charlie Kirk was not a Saint. He is receiving accolades that are usually reserved for the very best of us, the movers and shakers. I see the Repubs pivoting from rumpy's perilous political agenda to the deification of a "hero" that they seem to desperately want. This is pathetic. They are now showing their weakness, casting about for a martyr to herald. Trump has worn out his welcome, or seems to be stroking out. They can't like that.

I'm sorry the guy got shot. I really am. From my old perspective, it seems like such a waste. But, I think he is serving a purpose. Republicans can now scream and rant and try to bring about the next civil war. We're going to stand by our hay bales and not say a thing.

And had paid someone handsomely to do it.

That someone is an expert at assassination.

Every Trump action and blather has that effect.

Three guesses.

Ask this guy.



Did the money offered at the "summit" fall short of the "new" price?. Was this the final warning?

Putin was KGB. He knows how to get nasty things done.



On the "left" in this photo.

This happened the day before 9/11.
