Reminder: the right broadly doesn't care about ideological inconsistency or hypocrisy, pointing it out does nothing because they don't have mental tools for making comparisons in three dimensions.
Maybe as individuals you can use these tools to make them feel something, but you would have to be one-on-one and able to socialize and talk to another person and make eye contact and I am not holding out hope for our rising generation of young "activists" who have been raised with no tools for any of this and think social anxiety is their identity.
The MAGA goalposts must be motorised, they move so often and so far.
Motorized with a turbo and supercharger.........
Andrew Tate can take his fugly ass back to whatever English trailer park he was born in
Tate was born in the US and later lived in the UK. So I suggest we split the difference... and dump him in the middle of the Atlantic.
I love this solution
Don't forget deporting Musk back to South Africa while you are at it.
Yeah nah they got enough problems, we should just execute him
The best part is after they all realize Kirk's assassin was a right-winger just like them. That's the real payoff.
I now spent close to an hour trying to figure out Robinson's political leanings, and as of right now the internet simply does not know.
This is the closest:
A public records database shows Robinson’s family resides in Washington, Utah, where Trump garnered support from 75% of voters in the 2024 presidential election. Robinson’s parents have Republican listed as their party affiliation, said public voter registration information, and they are considered active voters (each cast ballots in the 2024 election that gave Trump a second presidency).
Public records also indicated Robinson registered as a voter in Utah in July 2021 but was considered inactive and did not declare an affiliation to any party when he registered.
And then there's a lot of talk about bullet engravings which leave me very confused. ~~How can you engrave "If you're reading this you're gay" - 26 characters onto a single bullet? (edit: no more about this please)~~ Even so, the messaging is open to interpretation. We simply do not know yet, and we might never know 100%! He's conflicted, that much seems clear.
IMHO most timely and objective article as of right now: LA Times
The simple fact that we don't know, in addition to the things we do know about him and his family, is enough to convince me.
If he leaned left at all, they would have 100% already released that by now.
He used really big bullets. Like, basically the biggest widely available. I thought the same thing at first too.
It was .30-06
That makes sense. And the messages were written on the casings, but those are left behind when you shoot, right (sorry I know very little about guns)? So it's not really intended for the victim but for whoever finds them, and the idea is to not pick them up when you're done?
As I said, I find all this confusing, unclear, and rather wait another day or so before I make up my mind.
PS: All I know is a Tom Waits song about thirty-ought-six.
The shooter used Mauser 98 bolt-action rifle chambered in .30-06 ("thirty-aught-six"). The Mauser 98 is a bolt action rifle; a form of single action, meaning the firearm needs to be recocked before fired again, similar to a old revolver or a Nerf blaster. Since only one shot was fired, no casings actually left the firearm. The spent casing from the fired shot never left the chamber, as it would not be extracted until recocked.
Right, on the casing, which is left behind after shooting. And didn't he only fire one shot? So the entire round was left behind for all but one of them.
So is it fair to say that most of the 26 character message was on the shell casing, rather than the bullet itself?
I'm pretty sure 100% of it was on the casing
Easily. That's almost 3 inches of casing, and if you run out of room, you can write a second line.
30-06 is a large hunting round. It has roughly a 75% larger surface area on the cartridge (the casing, not including the projectile) than a round of 5.56; the standard NATO round,. This is also almost 250% more surface area than 9mm, which the United Healthcare shooter was able to fit 7 characters on with "dispose", therefore it can reasonably be assumed that you can fit 17 or more characters, which could handily fit "if u read this u r gay".
All the bullets where engraved with anti fascist stuff, memes, and funny shit. I wouldn't say in context that it gave even any indication of being pro lbtq except I guess maybe the teasing about stares at bulges. Not really pro trans so much as griefing a person obsessed with wanting to know what's in other people's pants.
The bullet engraving does sound weird, but I have heard of traditions where people engrave names onto dry grains of rice.
So... how many do you think aren't going to believe that?
"The Demonrats installed him!"

"We like to fuck around, but we certainly don't want to find out. You know, just like the guy we elected President."
Well yeah, "finding out" runs the risk of them learning something. Knowledge and facts are poison to a MAGA, that's why they spew bile out their mouths whenever they're exposed to it.
Why didn't they send the National Guard to Utah?
Not enough Democratic voters to intimidate I would assume
💯
Can we just call them cowards already?
We do, quite frequently.
It's a synonym.
And let’s not go to Chicago. It’s a silly place.
They’re going to Memphis now, the red voters are gonna find out what it’s like to live under fascism
Memphis is blue dude. This is punishing the uppity folks who aren't bowing down to maga
