yeah, still seems like the wound is a little fresh at this point, but I think this article is spot on
this 'he united us' drives me bonkers as his whole shtick was dividing us
these two lines resonated with me
The debates were simply performances
I won’t celebrate his death, but I’m not obligated to celebrate his life, either.

Geez all this pointless speculation….
want even more? there is conspiratorial chatter that this was staged by trump/DOJ to distract from Epstein and to add fuel to the liberal vs. conservatives divide:.
- that was a difficult shot, and the shooter did it in one try - indicative of a trained sniper, not a run of the mill (civilian) hunter
- really clean get-away and still hasn't been found, despite popping up on cctv/ring cams/etc during his escape - again, indicative of advanced preparation and tactics
- a video shows 2 guys in the crowd making baseball signs right up until the shot was taken, as if communicating with… the shooter, obviously
- despite all the signs that the shooter was a pro, he left behind the gun to be found… with bullets that supposedly had "transgender and anti-fascist writing" on them - clearly a plant, right? right?!?
etc…
new conspiracy theory…he had a second apartment and a trans 'roommate'

Four days and he hasn't arisen.
I say they take him off the meme with Abe, JFK, MLK Jr, and Jesus. And instead put him on one with James Bowman, RFK Jr, Ben Carson, and Ben Shapiro.

I just puked in my mouth
Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance hosted The Charlie Kirk Show from the White House on Monday to pay tribute to Kirk and called the activist a "joyful warrior for our country."

It’s amazing to see in real time how they position this hater POS as “their MLK”…

For the record, I do agree 100% with walkie. And it's another reason I find Newsom and Pete's rhetoric about the trans community (not to mention Newsom gleefully palling around with any fascist he can) so disgusting.
But I'd also be careful about the reading of this article. Right in the sixth paragraph:
"The senior official explains that there is no process per se for dealing with trans people as a “threat group,” but feels that trans individuals will be increasingly targeted under the banner of “violent extremism.”"
I think it's pretty safe to say that trans people have large target on their backs, not just from this administration. But I also don't think it's especially helpful for Klippenstein to frame the headline the way he did here, based on what the article actually says (or doesn't).

police investigate a case of possible domestic abuse in PA,
the suspect kills 3 police officers and injures 2 others with an AR-15 in what might have been an ambush…
yet i'm seeing little about it in the news. shouldn't this be a bigger story? have we become this numb? is trump's chaos taking up 100% of the air in the room? or, who is trying to suppress this?

well it didn't really meet the narrative people want for clickbait
had the assailant been trans or POC and one of the officers been a white blonde female, it would have been front page news

I think all three officers were white, not sure about their hair.

yes, but they were dudes (I meant to say white blonde female) and the guy with the gun was also white, so missing the mark on clickbait narrative
did you see those wonky hats they had?
(let's be clear, this is horrible and the individual should be behind bars for the rest of his life…and also gun control!)

A federal judge has thrown out President Trump's lawsuit against The New York Times.
The suit, he says, "stands unmistakably and inexcusably athwart the requirements" of federal court rules.
It is "decidedly improper and impermissible."
