One interesting thing I’m observing is that right wing figures are souring on Kash. This seems to be for a couple of reasons 1) one of their own got killed and the killer’s dad had to turn him in 2) his interest and capability to help institute the kind of repression they crave is decidedly limited.
It would be the latter, of course.

Edit: BTW, seems he confessed to his dad, who contacted a "friend" of the family, in the clergy, who called authorities.

The Nation putting out a piece that states most people with functioning brains in this thread have been saying. Maybe those with reading comprehension problems would like to tell us all how this is bad:

Thanks for posting that.

Fox News appears to be a cesspool. That would not be allowed on OTA networks.
Before the current fcc. Today’s fcc would investigate and threaten to yank licenses for “suppressing conservative views” if there were any consequences for someone who made such a horrific statement on air.

and all the sudden they went extremely quiet

According to news fact check this is a manipulated photo. You have to be very careful with the photo editing tools available now. I was hoping this photo was true but it isn't.

This is not an authentic photo but has been manipulated with editing software. The original uncropped photo (pictured below) shows Robinson wearing a faded burgundy color shirt with no printing on it.

Original photo unaltered.

Do they do that stuff live? I don't think the major networks would chance that, particularly with individuals who can't be trusted and those two (the males) clearly can't. It's the network's prerogative to edit their own content. The First Amendment doesn't come into that. The OTA major networks broadcast plenty of gross stuff but that's way beyond the pale for them.

BlueIce guy was correct when he posted that study showing right wing extremist are more dangerous and are more likely to commit murders given that the killer was raised in a right wing house hold and appeared to follow right wing extremist movement.

Great job for highlighting that right wing, white nationalist conservatives that current control the republican party and the national right wing conservative movement have created a movement that embraced thr murder of America.citizens.

People are getting canned all over the place for simply repeating things Kirk said or accurately describing his views. Hegseth ordered to military to punish soldiers who say anything negative about him. Free speech is only for conservatives and if anybody else does it they deserve destruction is the basic premise in action here and most of the media is obliging.

The forums and reddit are filling up with "comments"

Their bitching about “cancel culture” was just more projection. Once again every accusation is a confession.

Saw it posited that she must not be much of a person to have married Charlie Kirk. She damn well proved it with that statement. A monster.

Edit: Looking again at it I doubt she wrote that. Some operative did. Dishonesty is rampant in Republican quarters. But maybe she did, if so, monster!

Whoever wrote it, it's nuts. This was the action of a sole individual. Anyone with any sense knows that. A single magat right winger killed another magat right winger in a style that right wingers are particular enamored of - with a gun. In the big picture of violence in America, NOTHING HAS CHANGED. What can she do? Nothing. She's not gonna take on hubby's mantel and tour college campuses, write books and do podcasts.
NPR says that the quote is accurately attributed.

hate to break it to you, but both of them are most likely edited. The claimed "real" non edited photo is indeed edited, which can easily be proven if you look at his left sleve over the grey background, as there is a white outline of the sleave against the grey background when there wouldn't be if it wasn't edited.. In fact the white line goes part way into the "peach" wall then disappears. Something that is not present on his right side. So both photoes are edited versions.

edit: Both pictures look like something has deliberatly been photo chopped to cover up something that was on the wall to his left where the grey is as well. At first I thought it was a blind, but it's not.

Fox News: "Just kill them"

Fox’s Kilmeade suggests killing the homeless, disabled and mentally ill with involuntary lethal injection​


Everyone knows MAGA Nazis are full of peace and love. Such as the loud and proud example above.
When I tell people millions are going to die, I say that knowing full well who these people are, what they want, and the actions they will take.
I am just glad they find time to be honest about it.
