Wait, this isn’t like when the Nazis opened the Ark at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark? Oh well.
How is this not bigger news!
I have to listen to weeks about some random podcaster getting shot, but a judge whose made judgements against trump has their house burned down and everyone is all quite?
To be fair, Kirk’s murder was graphic and in a public event. He was a pretty-well known figure, whereas most people don’t know who this specific judge is. The arson didn’t happen in a packed crowd in broad daylight.
This probably should be bigger news, but is makes sense why it isn’t as widely talked about
Kirk might have caught a stray bullet from a hunter. We can’t just start speculating!
Charlie Kirk just does that sometimes. 🤷🏼♂️
Also my understanding is that as of now it may not be arson
Goes against CBS news all Trump slant
“Why are Democrats letting themselves be victims of arson? Here’s why this is bad for Biden”
Because we still don’t have a cause for the fire.This could be arson or it could be a freak accident.
Terrible coincidence
it could be?
MAGAs always start blaming Libz immediately, we can do the same thing. The thing is, we’re probably going to be right, it’s almost ALWAYS a right-wing whacko.
What does anyone gain by doing so?
Arson is rarely the cause of fires.
But 100% of arson causes fire damage. It’s not like a car, where there’s a purpose other than fire damage.
We should outlaw arson.
Right now no one has any evidence of wrongdoing. The most likely cause if fires is accidents.
While it is possible this was arson we have no reason to assume it is right now.
Fires are rare in general, and the timing of this one is very suspicious.
Ok that still changes nothing. We still have no evidence.
Shhhh with your logical thinking, we need to jump to conclusions and start blaming each other before learning any facts.
I understand what you mean, but my criticism is with the news/reporting.
Weve had multiple democratic politicians be attacked and murdered whose whole time in the spotlight doesn’t cover the media attention that Kirk got.
Hell, we still don’t really know why Kirk was shot.
In this political climate, a judge’s house going up in flames should be a huge story. Sure it could end up being nothing, but so did the story with Kirk.
This is like the guy who shot up the LDS church last week. Everyone is claiming political violence when it turned out he hates Mormons.
Yeah, once people heard his real beef, everyone said “Oh, well, that makes sense. Carry on.”
“We can’t make this a narrative about how trans people are all crazy? Never mind.”
Good Critical Thinking Skills “That alone proves he’s a liberal.”
Dems aren’t big on declaring Martyrs.
Dems SUCK ASS at everything, but especially messaging.
Paywalled
I thought the radical left was the only one doing political violence???
I mean if its domestic terrorism then its the usual suspects.
“Federal arsonist very angry on camera as townsfolk snicker out of sight, enjoying his humiliation but fearing he’ll spy them and burn their houses down next”.
So who is this fits news and owner? Quick search yield
Me thinks he doth complain too much.
it doesn’t matter what side “did it” (dumb framing) because this is the exact kind of response i can directly support. as a leftist, i am using this opportunity to say your outrage at those in power is justified regardless of your placement on the political spectrum. they are working for none of us while oppressing all of us. if you are contributing labor you are being exploited by an oligarchy. you are being killed for profit and imperialism.
this is the anger of the people. this is what happens when our voices are rejected and painted as unreasonable. you cannot cage an animal and expect no thrashing.
Ok but most acts of political violence and terrorism are done by rwnj
i know, but we need to capture the anger of the people that is motivating these rwnjs. because it is us vs them, but these folks are being lied to about who “them” is. this could be an opportunity to correct that, to point at this and say “the reasoning is flawed, the conclusion is flawed, but the anger was already there because there was something real to be angry about.” they are having their anger exploited. they feel rage, but they’re being told it’s immigrants! where’s the rage come from? the reality that they are being fucked over by the system.
we can use this to speak to them.
I think first we’ll need to calm the anger before anyone can listen, let alone think through the evidence. Otherwise when anything pops off, we’re going to end up with the wrong people in positions of power.
you are not going to calm anything down. the anger is righteous. it is merely misdirected and manipulated by fascists. we can’t calm the anger but we can make it work for the people instead.
What I’m saying is people don’t think straight when they’re angry. Yes the anger is righteous, but if you haven’t noticed, they’re blaming outside entities, not their own.
what do you think i mean when i say to use their anger? i am maintaining we redirect the outrage. its like you ignored everything i said about having it work for us as opposed to against us.
I am saying people are blinded by anger and dig in if you try to change their minds. They have to calm enough to read and critically evaluate information properly. They even reject their own Western MSM to dig in.
A quick flame or slow burn? Are you putting food on the grill while flames shoot out or when the coal looks lifeless but is red-hot inside?
No I’m not ignoring anything. Are you missing anything?
weird how he has been ranting non stop about “radical leftist” judges and their huge conspiracy, and they need to purge them… and then some supporter goes and attacks a judge.
….
kinda exactly like stochastic terrorism and not too hard to prove in courtWhat I don’t understand is, why would we need to wait for someone’s house to be set on fire to make it stick in court? The intent and actions of the stochastic terrorist are still the same.
Our legal system is pretty stupid that way.
in past cases i’ve only heard of it being pursued in civil courts after the fact… feels like there’s something different when talking about judges but he always qualifies his rhetoric…
like “and there’s only one thing left to do, with this giant conspiracy using the law to manipulate the government! (pause) pursue legal action within the guidelines of the law, of course!”.
it seems a lot like he’s implying legal action is pointless and it’s time to do illegal things….
also looking at the director of the fbi and attorney general doesn’t give me hope they’ll pursue this one….There is no law. If you want justice, it won’t be via legal means, those are too badly corrupted to be relied on.
I hope this judge has a good lawyer!
I think they know a few, they will be fine.
It’s what they want to have happen. They just need it to be blameable on anyone other than violent psychopaths.
Somehow they still think “influencing” the message means “controlling” the message.
He melted down? Must have been too close to the fire.
Nah he got splashed with holy water on accident
So… has the fire been officially deemed arson? Last I saw they were still investigating the cause. The one calling it arson in the article is a congressman, not the fire department.
Given how much he “melts down” shouldn’t he look more like trump by now?
He’s getting there. Dude is a millennial. Looks like he’s in his mid 50s.
If his face wasn’t lifeless and hateful he’d look younger even with the baldness. His skin isn’t wrinkly but his withered soul makes him look half dead.
It’s the dead but still terrified of bullies eyes he has.
He’s looking more like Benny every month. He needs to go back to using GLH by RONCO.
He’s 43, but he already looks like he’s in his 60s. I think he’s well on his way.
Evil ages fast but lives forever.
He’s an unlikable piece of shit but he definitely doesn’t look old.
Just bald, weak, and angry.
He looks like a piece of shit, because anger and hate make people look ugly on the outside.
As much as I wish I could agree, I think he looks more like Patrick Stewart at around the same age (maybe less sunscreen). I mean in a health sense, not in actual attractiveness. Hair loss can happen as early as your 20s if you’re a male.
Someone please let Stephen miller actually melt down
PeeWee Himmler imagines himself to be a Hitler-style orator, so he melts down all the time, and it’s hilarious. Check out this recent one where he addressed cops going into Memphis.
The whole thing is funny, but the end when he starts convincing himself that they are “ruthless” and “hardcore” is hilarious. He is the absolute archetype of the smarmy coward trying to act tough, and fooling NOBODY. You just know that if he took one punch to the face, he’d collapse like a sack of potatoes, and start crying and begging for mercy.
Himmler or Goebbels?
Goebbels was the propaganda guy, and liked being in charge of the movie industry. Himmler, OTOH, was the guy who wanted to kill every last Jew, and was the architect of the Final Solution.
PeeWee probably greatly admires both psychos, but he definitely has more in common with Himmler.
So it’s PeeWee Himmler. Not sure who the Goebbels is in this administration, maybe Bannon, maybe Leavitt, but neither fully occupies the role. I think it is still to be cast. More candidates may emerge once the Ellisons have fully taken over CBS, and started programming overt MAGA propaganda.
