Trump Threatens Major Probe of ‘The Left’ Over Charlie Kirk Assassination

“We’ll be announcing,” Trump added. “They’re already under major investigation. A lot of the people that you would traditionally say are on the left [are] already under investigation.”

And yet again, the assassin is a CIS, White, Mormon, Maga Family Male.

I've seen too many people take it for granted that the suspect not being a leftist means we're out of the woods. Facts have no bearing on who MAGA will blame. They still act like the attempts on Trump's life are the left's fault too, even after it was confirmed both would-be assassins were on the right.

There's nothing we can do to make facts penetrate the MAGA bubble. All we can do is use the facts to keep more people from getting captured by the MAGA bubble.

UT Gov Spencer Cox talking about how he was "radicalized by Reddit and dark dark places on the internet" and then concluding that he's a "leftist."

lol no.

Meanwhile, Reddit: How many subs can we ban for not moderating for Kirk hard enough?

Spez: No no guys I'm one of the good ones, remember? We made a little safe space for The_Donald for a while and we just got rid of a bunch of Charlie Kirk stuff, we're doing what you wanted

Spez: No no seriously guys I'm one of you, I'm on your side

Spez: Jesus Christ stop it that hurts, stop it, you can't, you can't

I don't think he is useful (in either sense of the word). The whole format of Reddit sort of lends itself to long-form discussion and people disagreeing with their masters about things, and I think they will want to get rid of that whatever he tries to do to make it "compliant."

Yeah, that's what we have on r/conservative and my local community forums right now.

They don't let facts get in the way of the outrage.

If facts and critical thinking stopped fascism world war 1 would still be called "the last great war" instead...

Hell, even if just appeasing fascists worked, there wouldn't have been a world war 2.

But the only way to stop fascism is violence. In a good government, the government does it.

In a fascist government...

It's usually another country's military who steps it. And that's a worse result for everyone involved.

Too bad no other country has such a military.

Of course, in a country where everyone is just stealing whatever they can and no one dares tell President Pedophile anything he doesn't want to hear, the U.S. military will be on par with the Russian military soon.

Can confirm. My MAGA relative did not get the memo that the shooter was on the right. Just like they didn't get the memo about all the other shooters in the past year and some change. They were and are all radical left lunatics. That's what Fox News and Facebook is spoon-feeding them.

Yep, they say it's the let's fault because everyone is calling them Nazis and facists. Well....if it quacks, it's a duck.

They have always wanted everyone who disagrees with them dead. This is just one of many excuses they may use for it. We're not out of the woods until/unless they're out of power.

I'd say so, too, but they were good at it. As Carlin mentioned, think of how stupid the average person is. Then realize half of them are stupider than that! I'm beginning to wonder where I fall, especially as things get on in life.

The only crime "the left" is guilty of is failure to prosecute "the right" for their crimes when they had the chance

It's in Project 25. This would have happened even without Kirk's murder, they are only using it as an excuse.

this is exactly why I am not really concerned about his murder

he was a shit person, the world is better off without him

the method of his death shouldn't have happened - he should have died crossing the street, like the rest of us, or something

his murder is being used by the fascists, but only because it is convenient - if not that, it would have been something else

the one upside to this is that the Nazis and dumb fucks are showing themselves on my Facebook and LinkedIn with posts of support for him

11

There are many people who don't know his rhetoric and are posting their support because they are going off what their media is saying

2

Kind of the same thing with antifa. Who is in charge of antifa to be labeled a terrorist leader? At the end of the day, they don’t care and keep pushing towards totally facism while protecting child rapists.

They left back during McCarthyism Era when the fascist nation purged the last of the free thinkers.

Yeah, it's the vice they can indulge in since no caffeine and alcohol so it's over indulge in sugar.

It's why Crumbl Cookie are way too sweet, it's a Mormon founded company.

Make no mistake, a civil war is coming, trump is building his own private army (ICE) and now he's getting his intelligence services ramped up. this can't be good.

40

There are masked armed thugs in the streets disappearing people with no legal basis. The war already started a while ago.

I think the best case scenario is that if we do get a civil war it will be an internal GOP one.

How dare you! Why are you interrupting this time of national mourning with inconvenient facts?

Saw a few lowered flags when doing things this weekend, holy fuck does that annoy the shit out of me.

These shitbags could not even keep the flag lowered for Carter, FFS. A mother-fucking President, and one that was a 1000x better than this piece of shit in the WH.

And they have it lowered for a fucking podcaster? What are we even doing here? Most people didn't even know who the fuck Kirk was until this shooting. It was mostly the political wonks and the terminally online that even knew who he was....

EPSTEIN FILES

I've been wondering about those EPSTEIN FILES, as well. Where are they, whose on them?

11

So you think this is all just a distraction? And you think that releasing files that confirm what we already know about Trump's past is the real thing?

Did I get that right?

At this point, they'll be carting your family off to a prison in Africa and you'll still be shouting at their captors to stop distracting from Epstein.

Memphis, I believe is where they said to be planning to target next.

More rambling from the pedophile. He is blowing hot air, cause anytime MAGA goes to court and has to prove their claims, they lose immediately during discovery. Unless it's with a media corporation, they just bend over and do whatever their king tells them.

Pretty much everything on Twitter is saying he was a leftist. Propaganda at its finest.

Oh I know. But it’s also the best place to see mask off conservatives being unhinged.

What the FUCK is this story

Public records show that the suspect is unaffiliated with any party, while both his parents are registered Republicans.

Authorities also said that ammunition from a bolt-action rifle recovered after the shooting included inscriptions such as, “notice bulges OWO what’s this?” “Hey fascist! Catch!” and “If you read this, you are gay LMAO.” Another casing bore the phrase “Bella ciao,” in an apparent reference to the popular Italian anti-fascist anthem.

On Sunday, however, Cox told NBC’s Meet the Press that the suspect’s political ideology was “very different” from his family’s.

“There clearly was a leftist ideology with this assassin,” he said, citing information from Robinson’s family and romantic partner.

Cox later told CNN’s State of the Union that Robinson lived with his transgender partner, though investigators were still trying to determine whether their romantic relationship was a motive behind the shooting.

The 22-year-old suspect was also steeped in “dark” corners of the internet, Cox said.

That seems to track with an AP article's reporting on the same hearsay. Sounds weak if not outright false.

This was the point of all the lawsuits against CBS, constantly blustering at the media and talking down to them, even all the way back to January 6th mobbing up on the reporters and beating them up and smashing their equipment. They're trying to look for people they can bully into going along with the fiction, paving the way for the horrors. And look, they found some.

if you keep turning left, you'll arrive at exactly where you started.

Which is what this entire show is: moving in circles and never progressing. War in Ukraine is still on going, economy is fucked, trade war is on... etc.
