          It’s still crazy to me that nothing came from the Mueller report. Trump’s campaign was being driven by the Russians because him being president would harm America.

          And his supporters didn’t see anything wrong with that.

          I’m sure a great majority are more morally inept than twisted and unethical. One wishes only that our politicians did not for so long refuse the evidence of their senses with regard to Russia. Even Obama and Clinton thought the Kremlin would come around to their way of doing things in time.

          they are complicit, they know full well russia was funding them, remember an article on reddit early this year was found out to primarly fund people like poole, loomer,shapiro, they immediately when media silence after that.

      A whole bunch were uncovered to have been paid by Putin’s Russia to spout these pro Russian talking points (hello Tim pool, feeling nervous yet?) and when uncovered they all acted like the innocent child who just got caught with their hands in the cookie jar

      It’s so funny to see that the exact same extremist US Americans that would kill you for just using the word “Russia” twenty years ago are the same ones that can’t wait to suck Putin’s dick. These people are so dumb that they don’t even know they’re dumb

        i remember that poole was one of them, i think chaiya rachik(libsoftiktok) too, she was pretty obvious, jack proesbic, shapiro,and the others went pretty silent for a few weeks, until they could reorient themselves.

    Funny how many posts I see of this guy being an utter cesspool but when I go on conservative media, I see literally ZERO examples of him saying anything they feel is worth praising. It’s almost as if everything out of his mouth was vitriolic garbage and they know it.

        It was less of a murder and more of a lesson on the 2nd Amendment in my opinion. But basically yes, if by “asshole” you mean being a hateful fucking nazi.

          That may be the case but whatever theocratic white-supremacist trump-supporter he was, I think advocating for the murder of a person because he advocated for the murder of a person (or at least implied that) doesn’t make one any better than him, if that makes sense.

          People are talking about him having spread hatred (which he did) and are at the very same time spreading hatred about him. Quite ironic in a way…

              “I do not imply that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion”. - Karl Popper, clarifying that statement you cited

              One shouldn’t kill a communist that is simply voicing their opinion, one should however kill a second Stalin.

          These MAGA scum are a direct threat to the US constitution. They are so weak willed that they follow people like this and actually enjoy being manipulated by them. The person that killed the asshole wasn’t even one of “us”, he was another MAGA that was mad because he thought this asshole wasn’t being a big enough threat to the Constitution.

          MAGA is so hateful and crazy that they are killing themselves.

            MAGA is a death cult in every meaning of the term, so much so that my perception of the vast diversity of different meanings of “death cult” keeps expanding quite against my desire to explore further expressions of it.

            The issue is that if you think it’s justified to kill people on the basis of views that you (radically) disagree with, then that same justification could be used by them to justify killing you, right?

            (Also, I think calling him a nazi doesn’t do the victims of actual nazis justice, the latter of whom certainly did more than verbally expressing a radical ideology; but this just on the side)

              Dude was overtly racist, called for violence against ethnic groups, supported a literal genocide, among other things. He was doing the same shit the Nazis did in the beginning.

      Likewise, but unfortunately I’m pretty sure based on the video that the sudden overpressure, then pressure loss, of blood, caused him to immediately black out and probably have no conscious experience after blaming gun violence on trans people and gangs.

        as someone who has experienced sudden loss of blood pressure to the brain, you go grey then black very quickly. i was pumping my thighs to keep going (because i knew what was happening) and got an extra ten seconds of grey, don’t remember anything after that. so… maybe he did?

    *Also, he doesn’t know the difference between dead and casualty. Casualty is anyone dead or injured such that they can’t fight. Militaries report casualties because they want numbers of those that can/can’t fight.

    This was on the aftermath of Zelenski visiting the US and they started arguing in front of the cameras. JD Vance accused Zelenski of not being grateful and of “haven’t saying thanks once”. Rubio couldn’t sink deeper into the couch and background.
