Is that all they have?

The press conference was disappointing. Self aggrandisement, back slapping and congratulations with weak evidence. Let's hear the confession. Do you have one? Patel talked about going after further "suspects." Who are they? Why do you think there are more?

No doubt this person will end up on death row, but I didn't hear anything convincing. I don't trust that they didn't plant both the gun and the one email. Plus, they can't seem to make their minds up if there were engraved comments on the shells or not. First there were, then there weren't, and now we are back to there were.

The Governor quoted Kirk's most benign comments, but none of his outrageous, denigrating ones. We won't hear about that again.

Governor tried to walk it back for violence. Guess the rat weasels went too far last night. I take a dim view of our elected officials calling out for the crushing of all Dems. Arrest, prosecution without cause...

Governor didn't answer any questions of substance. I don't think he knows, really. Charging documents due next week.

If this is the guy, he's the guy. But I just didn't hear anything utterly convincing.

Some of it will be correct and some will be bullshit, as always.

In the end, we'll have enough info to be able to discuss it. Right now, we've got bubkes.

2. They're walking back the violence after finding out the suspected shooting didn't fit their hoped-for narratives.

Any other president would have been asking for peace and healing, Trump was out there calling for violence against the left. May he rot in hell.

I gathered, his family agreed with him. The perp took it a step further.

A family member was upset with Kirk, but Mr Groyper Robinson helped his cult leader Nick Fuentes and popped Kirk.
