Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Guess they gotta find some “gay” and “trans” to fit their narrative somehow.
An unnamed relative of the roommate told the network that the person "hates conservatives and Christians."
I'm sure that's a one way street /s
The relative said she suspected her family member had influenced Robinson's politics in the year they had been dating.
"Please please please arrest my daughter/niece/granddaughter/[other]," fuckin christ what a piece of work
Influenced Robinson’s Politics…how? By showing him trans people are OK? They shouldn’t be hated?
if they're even trans. or roommates.
sounds like "roommates" might be a bit of a stretch- basically landlords. we don't really know anything about them.
So we get to retroactively blame all previous murderers motivation on thir CIS roommates / family now?
Certainly should.
Lmao. I just…. Don’t believe it? Like how could you? Ok, so I’m mtf myself, so let’s imagine I’m dating someone and they go off and shoot some fascist asshat who is making my life way worse and I’m… turning them in? And working with police? Idk, most of the Trans people I’ve run into are…. ACAB
Even if ACAB, once the roommate knows they are an accessory after the fact. Dude was 100% going to be caught so the roommate has to choose between going to prison and $100k. Even without the money, that's a no-brainier.
The average person is a follower who will defer to authority when pressed even a little. The average person abhors violence. People turn in their loved ones to please authority and condemn violence all the time, like the ~~shooter's~~ suspect's father.
I mean yeah, like I don’t like the violence of it. I dunno. I just feel like it’s too far. Being trans isn’t fun or a walk in the park. There are certainly no Soros bucks of whatever people claim.
Then add on that what the GQP spews all the time, it just seems impossible. But you’re right, the reality is I’m just consistently disappointed in this country
I hope they leave her the fuck alone.
Okay? So if you don't like that Kirk got shot, then you are pissed off at the white, cis, raised-conservative guy who allegedly shot him, right? And you praise the trans hero who turned him in?
You'd think that all these mental gymnastics would've given them stronger brains.
nope nope, you already see it in the conservative sites, the spin that this trans person is the cause of his "left leaning" views, and is a corrupted person that's family has blocked out because they consider her dangerous and mentally ill).
So, while she didn't take part in, assist in or have any part in the shooting, and is assisting the police in convicting him, the narrative is already spinning that this evil trans person radicalized him... and all by herself she turned this perfect Mormon boy into the cold blooded killer.
Damn, seems pretty silly to bar such master manipulators from serving in the military where they could be world-class spies. Why do conservatives want us to have such a WEAK and SAD military?
Robinson's neighbor Josh Kemp, 18, told The Sun that he saw Robinson and his roommate kiss in public.
"I saw them holding hands. They drove off in Tyler's car. It was about two weeks ago," he said.
Describing Robinson, Kemp said, "I've never seen really anybody dressed all in black with a mask on and I thought that was just quite weird."
Kemp also described the roommate. "He did have freckles on his face. For the haircut it was a weird haicut, kind of mushroom-shaped one. He didn't come out much," he said.
- That's the best interview they got?
- WTF does any of that actually mean?
