It is not inconsistent to oppose stochastic terrorism and yet be thankful in the rare moments when the dice come up in your favor and it takes out someone vile.

This holds particularly true when the slain actively promoted this kind of violence. In a similar vein to how the to fallacious 'paradox of intolerance' is solved, anyone who makes it their purpose to stoke violence forfeits the civilized norms we deserve in society.

IDK.

You devote your entire life to a faith that is based on martyrdom so then it's simple to make the leap.

My faith in God is between me and God and none of anyone's business.

So this wasn’t an assassination. It was gang violence between rival white suoremacists.

And some of you dolts were calling for Civil War without a shred of facts.

We were probably all better off back in the days when people waited for Walter Cronkite to say, “And that’s the way it was…” and to fall asleep watching Johnny Carson.

“Our employers told us it was ok… I will never visit 🇺🇸 again. It feels good to be free.” Hundreds of South Korean workers detained in shackles landed home, met by family who tearfully hugged them. Arrested building a factory to employ thousands. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/w...

"This afternoon [Trump] told reporters that in response to Kirk’s murder 'we have to beat the hell' out of the 'radical left lunatics.'

Needless to say this libelous and criminal threat is something a president should never say but which comes easily to President Trump and is treated as mostly expected by the elite political class."

Them: "What we need in politics is good old-fashioned public debate."

Charlie Kirk: "Debate topic: Was slavery a good idea or a bad idea? Black folks, your opinions are biased so you don't get to say anything."

Ezra Klein: "Charlie Kirk was doing politics the right way."

@wdlindsy Kirk ended up being taken down by the exact elements he promoted as good things. His “good things” killed him.
Now it might be argued he was completely oblivious, but he was involved in a power game, and my guess his ego he never allowed to consider instead of being a leader, he’d be one of its victims.

"#Trump: Russian drone incursion into #Poland ‘could have been a mistake’"

Popular conception: Trump is being played by #Russia

Reality: "SIM cards from Poland and #Lithuania found in downed #drones"

Meaning: #Putin specifically prepared to fly drones into Poland

Verdict: Trump is a fucking moron. The #USA is being run by morons

The California Legislature this week passed a pair of bills to prohibit on-duty law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from masking their faces and to require them to identify themselves.

An oath of office is a formal pledge, required by law, that an individual will uphold the duties and responsibilities of their position. It's a public declaration of commitment to the office and its obligations.

Violations of this oath should have legal consequences, depending the nature of the breach! Am I misunderstanding the Law?

Impeachment is the designed course to remedy this crime but couldn't a suit by someone with standing also address it .. say Abrego Garcia?

This is a good time to re-read the NYT’s profile of Nick Fuentes from last week and the far-right anti-Semitic, deeply racist “groyper” movement that appears to have motivated Tyler Robinson. nytimes.com/2025/09/09/us/poli

Patel admitted the Regime forced him to fire agents who investigated POSOTUS. Because the agents are suing, that confession means Trump can be deposed.

Prepare for whining from Metamucilini about how the judge and prosecutor were appointed by Biden (whether the ones chosen for the job were or weren't) and how it's all a plot against him. - White Rose Resistance

How does that math work? What kind of twisted calculus makes Black colleges the fallout zone for white-on-white violence?
We didn’t pull the trigger.
We weren’t in the crowd.
And yet here we are again, our institutions are placed under lockdown and our students are being forced to sit in fear. Our communities are being reminded again that no matter what happens in this country, the danger has a way of boomeranging back onto us. - Dr. Stacey Patton
