An alternative interpretation: MAGA is fracturing into gang warfare.

Charlie Kirk was murdered by an associate of a rival gang acting as radicalized proxies for moneyed elites competing for leadership in a fascist movement.

Gang warfare shares a lot of features with competitive oligarchic authoritarianism.

Charlie Kirk and Nick Fuentes are opposite ends of the white supremacist pipeline. Nick Fuentes made a career out of attacking Charlie Kirk. His followers have been showing up at Charlie Kirk events to physically intimidate him for years now.

Nick Fuentes reacted the way stochastic terrorists always do. He did the "I condemn this" dance, and as soon as the dust settles, he will select another conservative target to complain about not being extreme enough.

I have submitted a FOIA request to the FBI for all video evidence & documents created in the investigation of Border Czar Tom Homan & his acceptance of $50K in bribes for favorable government contracts. Kash Patel says the case was closed due to no evidence of criminal behavior. Accordingly, he should have no hesitation releasing innocuous footage & docs.

Booked a Covid shot. PSA: there are new (and stupid) restrictions, but you can get it if your BMI is over 25, which is 3 out of 4 Americans.

US Special Envoy Keith Kellogg revealed in an interview with Lord Ashcroft that he disagrees with Trump on how to end the war in Ukraine. While Trump reportedly wants a full peace deal, Kellogg believes a ceasefire should come first, arguing it’s more realistic than jumping straight to a final agreement.

Are these people alive? In this country? OK, reporters, time to ask DIRECT questions with data to get MORE data....now.

A-friggin-men Brother Eric!

@bespacific if it was possible to hate a guy to death, he'd be in a grave in one of his golf courses. Preferably one of the Scottish ones.

I said this last night, but didn't give an example. Trump is AFRAID of comedians who have large audiences in the U.S. because THEY, not #journalists, force us to face the totality of what he is and what he is not. Example? Check out Jon Stewart's piece last night which contains a LOT of what Trump in his tux said while standing up and reading from full page notes, to those gathered at a state dinner at Windsor Castle. Cued up to the start. https://youtu.be/_GXNJ3V9lzg?si=BMnafRz6DXT3GWaJ&t=164

WTAF? Hakeem Jeffries, along with the rest of House Democratic leadership is voting yes on a resolution to honor fascist Charlie Kirk. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/19/house-resolution-charlie-kirk

1.) Notice how #Trump never attacks white immigrants like Melania’s family? Only Black and Muslim ones. That’s not patriotism—it’s racism.

2.) Omar came here legally as a refugee, became a citizen, and now serves in Congress. Trump’s #immigrant wife’s parents got in through chain migration—the very thing he rants against.

3.) The “marry her brother” smear has been debunked dozens of times. The fact Trump keeps repeating it shows how #racism and lies are his only playbook.

Aged well didn't it.

Daily Beast:
Trump’s FCC Goon Threatens Popular Daytime TV Show

Trump attack dog Brendan Carr revealed the next show he’ll “look into” after his threats against Jimmy Kimmel prompted ABC to yank the comedian off the air...

Carr said it is worthwhile to “look into” The View, but not necessarily as a target for cancellation—at least, not yet.
