      Senate Republicans, you mean. Every single Democrat voted in favor of releasing the files. All but two Republicans voted to defend child rapists.

        I have faith in peoples ability to use context clues. Then I don’t have to type every comment out as if I’m hitting variables for a program.

            Then fill in the rest in your own post and I’m going stick with commenting how I comment. If you can’t use context clues on what I typed then there are bigger issues going on at hand there.

              Jeez. They did “fill in the rest in [their] own post”. It was the reply to your post. Replies don’t always mean disagreement. They can build on the point you’re making for the benefit of others.

              You should welcome that. You’re acting like a dog barking at anyone that goes past.

    … or the president wanting to call for flying flags at half mast for a youtube personality … rather than for the death of one of the highest state officials in the country (in Michigan Minnesota Melissa Hortman), including her husband and the attempted killing of a senator and his wife … an event that should have been treated as a major violent political event but was downplayed for the mere fact that it was political opponents.

    edit: mentioned wrong state Minnesota - not Michigan

      this is the vastly more important thing IMO, americans aren’t going to care about 99.99999999999% of things happening outside the country, but they should damn well give a fuck about school shootings no matter what.

    The cover of my Aussie states newspaper is shaming me for finding joy in his death. Fuck them, these freedom of speech cunts also want freedom from consequences, unless it’s us using our freedom of speech, THEN they’re all for consequences of actions.

    That dipshit fucked around and fuck around and ended up finding out.

    The vast majority of people feeling attacked by the shooting probably can’t point to Yemen on a map.

    Worse. With all my filters trying to block the underdeveloped country, my feed is still filled to the brim with this horseshit of a news item… Thanks OP for providing some real news, and those in the comments with links to the articles

    My own, completely unfounded, conspiracy theory is that the assassination of Charlie Kirk was to distract the US from yesterday’s Russian drone attack on a NATO ally.

      Yeah sure. Not from the USA openly supporting Israel in attacking yet another country in support of their Holocaust. It has to be to distract from drones flying over Poland.

      Nothing has enabled the right wing to do whatever they like more than the liberal hyper-fixation on Russia.

      The Russian drones were cardboard decoy drones. The propaganda must go real hard if you think that’s starting ww3.

        I haven’t seen the news reporting that. Is that reporting in another language or something?

        Cardboard managed to do this to a house, huh?

        Even Belarus has claimed that these drones were bound for Ukraine, but apparently had their radar navigation jammed.

        Look around you, just between Russian and Israeli actions alone, we are quickly descending into a global conflict already.

        My entire conspiracy theory is that Charlie Kirk was shot in order to focus US attention fixed on internal issues, in order for their global soft power to continue to crumble while the rest of the world descends into madness.

        It’s in the same vein as the DNC emails leaking straight after Trump’s “Grab them by the pussy” tape was released, completely taking over the news cycle.

        If I had a nickel every time something politically expedient happened to derail the press, I’d have two nickels - which isn’t much, but it’s strange that it’s happened twice to the same guy.
