Not silent, I had someone freaking out in my office today saying "dammit! Hes one of us!" with the most disdained look on his face. People died and dude is only talking about how its once again his team that did it.
Translation: "Dammit, we can't use this as an excuse to start our Maga Civil War. I hope we have better luck with the next mass shooting."
Talking about how it impacted him personally. Very conservative.
Did he question his life decisions or worldview afterward, or immediately go back to not giving a single fuck about the people who died because it made his cult look bad?
I think we can all assume the answer to this. I’ve given up on being hopeful for positive change.
So far, Republican leaders have said nothing.
That's surprising. Usually when conservatives intend to do jack shit about any situation, they offer a prayer with a contrived air of empathy on their gormless faces.
If they're not praying for something or other, it would indicate that they might want to do something useful instead for a change... But I'm not holding my breath.
Trump has. He posted about how "they" are attacking Christians iirc (at first it was radical leftists, then he posted again with more ambiguous language, I think). Interesting, most Christians don't consider Mormons part of Christianity- and Kirks murderer was raised Mormon. Trump helped amplify fear mongering with that, too, so. Gee, I wonder why a Mormon church was targeted by a Trump supporter?
Won’t be long till there is Christian denomination infighting going on in the MAGA world. A good chunk of them are all ready blaming Israel for Kirk’s death as well as Mormons. I always knew this is what would happen eventually since Christians hate other Christians almost as much as they hate gays.
Yep. I've always said if/when they finally get their beloved Theocracy, there will immediately be massive sectarian violence.
The minute they squelch trans and gay rights, and bring back Jim Crow, they will be right back at each others' throats, casting the other groups out as heretics and "pagans" and "cult members", etc....there are approximately 45,000 denominations of xtianity - which one is the One True Xtianity?
I like that word.
gormless /ˈɡôrmləs/ adjectiveinformal•British English lacking sense or initiative; foolish. "a constantly grinning, rather gormless boy"
Gornless and gobsmacked nonce enablers
Gornless in Seattle.
Wallace and Gormless
You know, there's probably a universe with a "Wallace and Gorm" show.
Next episode of Interdimensional cable
LMMFAO! I wanna party with you
Hahahahahah! 🤣
nah they’re stuck doing the mental gymnastics necessary to blame all liberals
They are not praying for members of the LDS. They might pray for the shooter, though. After all, he is one of them.
Their deafening silence is all the more damning, they support this shit.
The Right is the party of murder.
When is MAGA getting designated as a domestic terrorist organization?
When the victors write history...
So MAGA is a terrorist group. I'm sure the EO is coming any day now.
“Make Liberals Cry Again”
MLCA?
I can see why they went with Make America Great Again instead.
it's not fun to stay at the MLCA...
Gosh, that's so weird. If this was someone they could claim was trans, they'd be crying about how xtianity is "under attack" from the "radical left".
Incoming "it was one mentally ill dude, he doesn't represent us" defense. If they bother to cover it all.
at one point i thought that it was decided to focus on the victims because fuck giving free press to the terrorist.
that seems to have been completely abandoned.
I wholeheartedly agree, bar one fact. If that was still the case, conservatives and conservative media would continue to focus on any non conservative perp or conservative victims.
Neither one is good. And both have consequences.
Which one do we prefer? I don’t fucking know dude…
I willing to bet a six pack of craft beer he was Charlie Kirk and that's the reason.
The good news is when Trump tries to remain in power he will have both sides against him. He doesn't have the support he thinks he does. Even the morons who were fooled by him will wake up
Hilarious
These libs are crazy the way they go deep undercover as lifelong conservatives
So Republicans are now labeled terrorists?!?
S'ok it's one of their own.
Malsocialized whiteboi pass.
When enough of them grow up awkward because they've been tweaked out the ass on 4chan, social media outrage algos, and pedo-adjacent anime, their mothers think something is wrong with society.
Nope. Society works fine for lots of people. No one told you to raise an awkward fucking basement predator.
But then white guy pass comes along and it's "muh raaaaycee" must save "muh raaaaycee"
When you were cranking your 3 incher to anime porn for decades you weren't thinking about your race then
Whose broadcast license is the MAGA FCC secretary going to threaten over this one?
