  • Right on schedule I guess /s

    Someone posted a tweet that said that republicans are quick to blame Tylenol for autism, but can’t do the same when its about gun violence and guns.

    And why the weird fixation with Charlie Kirk, when there are actual innocents dead?

      Propaganda/Manufacturing Consent for crimes.

      And Kirk knew like every republican megadonor (they all funded him). Many own or run media sites.

      But yeah its exactly what a lot of media did for the leadup to the iraq war, by many of the same people (Tucker carlson for instance)

      I have no idea, especially when Kirk was just taking one for the team according to his own words

      “I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.” Charlie Kirk (April 5th, 2025)

        “… to protect our other God-given rights.”

        It fucking annoys me to no end when religeous fakers spout off shit like this. God never gave ‘rights’ to people. He instead told believers how they should act (Matt. 22: 36-40).

          It just adds a little extra sparkle that this is coming from a chick from Hell, lol 😆

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst-Wessel-Lied

      Horst Wessel was a Nazi street fighter. He died in an argument with his landlady. He owed rent and she’d asked some local boys to be at the meeting. Turns out the locals were Communists. The Nazi Party turned Horst into a martyr and made the song about him the Party anthem.

      Kirk was just lucky enough to publicly catch a bullet.

    About one mass shooting every 20 hours and 24 minutes. And this is before the USA starts fighting itself in earnest.

    Okay, this looks bad, but… have you thought about gun makers? Their livelihood and family depends on selling guns. What will happen with little Timmy when Mr. Warmonger can’t bring bread to the table anymore?

    Those people died so the little Timmy Warmongers of the world could live! Think of the children, people!

      Sure, those headlines are rough, but let’s zoom in on the real tragedy: a tear running down the cheek of the CEO of Freedom Arms, Inc. His yachts might have to skip their annual polish! How will little Timmy tell his private school friends his dad can only afford a single pony this year? People, the economy is suffering! Think of the quarterly profits!

      We’re only 286 days into the year though, so we’re already well above once a day average so far, as long as people keep the violence up we’re basically guaranteed to hit it by end of year. I’m so deeply tired of this world I can’t even muster up any particular sarcasm for this milestone.

    If America’s most volatile don’t have access to guns, then who will police the general public? Protect gun rights and our entitlement to mental health issues

    I’m sure sending in more unidentified masked ICEstapo into urban areas to disappear people, including 15 year old girls, to who knows where will solve it!
