Fuck all this “let’s not celebrate the gruesome murder of a political opponent” bullshit, the man was a stochastic terrorist. Let’s dunk on the douchebag and piss on his grave together. I hope more fascists like him get it through the neck

      It’s a false flag by Republicans.

      Then why go for an effective speaker like Kirk?

      Note: I am implying it’s probably not The Republicans. It could very well be a Republican or a right-winger, or it could even be a leftist or centrist or personal rival or anything else, but IMO since we have no evidence about the perp, we can’t really make any solid conclusions yet.

      No more need to worry about Epstien, Chicago or Supreme Court rulings.

      For like the rest of the week at most. People are definitely still pissed about Epstein at least.

      They can say that it was a crazy radical leftist who killed him.

      They’d do that even if he died by accident.

      They want to do that so they can declare martial law without people fighting back.

      But do you really think it would be work sacrificing one of Trump’s best propagandists?

      The reason why Trump made a social media post about his death so quickly is because they planned it. They are making a show with all these theatrics.

      Making a social media post is trivial. If he didn’t do it himself, he has staff who are trained to do this stuff on his behalf.

      I doubt it. But even if they did it hardly matters… they wanted to “move fast and break things” in a country that has more guns than people - and Trump has done nothing but screw his own base over time and time again.

      To be kind of honest, I’m surprised it took this long.

      There’s a lot of pissed-off right-wingers out there - and there’s a lot more where this came from.

      After the speech Trump just gave… I am inclined to believe this.

      See my top level comment for the speech, seems to have just happened in the last hour or two.

      Obviously proving this either way would be impossible, at current moment.

      But… cause and effect and all that, qui bono.

      It was a single, incredibly accurate shot… and, to the best of my knowledge at this time, it does not appear that an actual suspect is in custody, nor was a weapon or even shell casing even found…

      Which would lend at least circumstantial evidence toward the notion that… this was done by a trained and skilled professional… who simply escaped, and a patsy will be pinned for this.

      … This could be sufficient to … make all the rightoids forget about Epstein.

      This is our Reichstag Fire.

      It … ultimately doesn’t matter who actually did it, or why.

          Yep.

          He’s about as perfect as a sacraficial lamb as you could ask for:

          Generally well known and beloved by them… but ultimately, probably replaceable with at least a nesr equivalent.

          I think a lot of more internet based leftists do not realize how … common Kirk was, how much actual physical presence he had in all the places he visited and had public events… household name indeed.

          But again… no way at this point in time to be certain, but whooo boy does the overall scenario make sense as a plausible candidate for false flaggery, unlike the Butler shooting, which was just a deranged malcontent with bad aim and sloppy overall plan.
