Donald Trump seemed to have something else on his mind when a reporter asked him how he was “holding up” after the shooting death of his friend Charlie Kirk.
The president was asked about how his “last three and a half days” have been on a personal level in the aftermath of Kirk’s death, as the conservative activist had been close to the Trump family. Trump replied that he was holding up, “I think very good,” but seemed to prefer to discuss the construction of his new White House ballroom instead.
“And by the way,” Trump said Thursday as he left the White House, “right there, you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they’ve been trying to get, as you know, for about 150 years. And it’s going to be a beauty. It’ll be absolutely magnificent structure.”

We now have Kash Patel a close friend of Kirk in charge of this investigation. Elon Musk promoting bogus tweets about Robinson and antifa. Patel and the FBI are going to manufacture a connection with the left in order to suppress the truth that this guy was a groyper who assassinated Kirk for not being far enough to the right.
If this turns out to be true, there are A LOT of people who need to apologize, including myself. It should be noted that Nick Fuentes has had one of the most compassionate and intelligent responses to the Charlie Kirk assassination, despite a lot of previous vitriolic and adversarial rhetoric between the two, unlike the despicable and low life celebration taking place on the left.

@kevinnbassAs a former leftist myself, you must understand that the left will never stop until they achieve victory. They will not leave you in peace. They will not coexist. The only two options are roll over and be crushed or crush them, over and over, relentlessly, constantly, forever. As soon as you stop crushing them they will come back and start trying to crush you again. They may hide it but that is what they are doing, always and forever. There is no peace. There is either crush or be crushed by the left. This is the truth. Do you understand?
Dear lord. Not even an attempt to allow for different viewpoints or moral bearing on “the Left.” Sure, you can find many, many people on the Left with contemptible views.
But really? Everyone on the Left who doesn’t espouse “be crushed or crush” is merely hiding ugly, extreme views? That’s the reality you, Bass, and Musk think you inhabit?
Here’s the case for most of the people on the Left with such an awful worldview: They feel that way because they’re utterly convinced the “other side” is all alike, cannot be reasoned with, and will only seize power unchecked if extreme measures are not taken.
I myself do not believe the solution is to think and act that way, just on the other side of the coin
They have a distorted view of their political opponents, and it leads many of them to do awful things.
History is rife with examples of people knowing they have good motives and feeling appalled at clearly awful things from their political opponents.
They become utterly convinced that they are absolutely right, the other side is absolutely wrong, and therefore they have to adopt a more extreme position to deal with the extreme threat.And it does not end well..
It’s not simple both-siderism to note this: the most telling feature of this type of thinking reaching a problematic stage is the slide into lumping everyone on “the other side” into the same category and erasing any potential differences between them, making all of them seem equally bad.

Robinson acted alone and what he did has nothing to do with “sides”. Murdering Kirk made sense to him, but not to most people. No one else is responsible for what he did.

The left pushes and pushes until it’s go time and then they say, “What are you getting so worked up about?”
We just saw it happen with Trans in womens sports. When the public finally said “Enough,”
They said, “What’s are you getting so worked up about, it’s only like 40 people.”

I’m pretty good at research and I’m not sure about his background and/or his motive.
What makes you so sure?

Bluesky Issues Warning to Any Users Celebrating Charlie Kirk Assassination
Lol. Puh- leeeaze.
I guarantee you that you can find well Over a 1000 instances of right wingers on Twitter/X saying things exactly similar but just sub the words " black on black crime" for "right on right crime". Or " a dead leftist is the only good leftist" ... and worse. [ and then of course you can find WAY worse in the past on 4chan etc] And I guarantee you that you would chuckle and nod your head "Yes."
And musk promised he would cover anyone's legal costs for anything they said on X if it got that person in trouble at work.
Right Wing trolls LOVE a good, dark or racist or disgusting post if it mocking.... the other. Some of them love it no matter who it is degrading. Some of them might be posting dark degrading memes about kirk right now.

The murderer was a soldier for the Democratic Party.
They couldn’t out debate him so they killed him.

“The Left pushes and pushes …”
What is “the Left” in this estimation? I know it’s broad-based. I know it involves many many decision-makers and key party figures.
Have you looked at poll results for people describing themselves as Democrats and their attitudes on trans women’s participation in women’s sports?
They are not members of “the Left”?
If they differ in opinions on an issue that you find important or at least consider a signal issue, why would you lump them all together?
What do you think the result is of that? Do you think that convinces them that you’re reasonable and that they should join your side?
Or is it not uncommon in human nature for people to recoil at the attack, feel offended by the mischaracterization, and react against you?
But “they’re all like that” tends to be a major sign of people adopting extreme political views.
And you probably think you’re strongly right on that issue. Being right didn’t finally work with “the public” deciding to say “enough” and work through less extreme means? I think if the debate were handled even better, the results of “enough” would occur more swiftly.
Even in our broken political time, you indicate what seems like a victory for you over extremists “pushing and pushing.” Is it unsatisfactory to have it occur slowly and incompletely? Sure.
It’s just way, way better than becoming a monster to defeat the monsters you see.

I've got students raising their hands in class a hundred times a day. Are they Nazis, too? Nope. A person exuberantly putting their hand in the air isn't automatically a Nazi, diptard.
Also and for the record, I think Musk is a diptard. I just don't throw around the word "Nazi" like it's meaningless.

I know a nephew of a prominent wealthy Republican.
You go on the nephew’s IG and he’s all about seizing the means of production.
Lots of NYC liberal arts major midwestern transplants that are refugees of conservative families.
