Did he use his fucking time machine?

Because he literally and explicitly declared war on Chicago while Kirk was still alive.

Trump might have had a stroke a few days back. They had to then accelerate their Nazi agenda. So they martyred one of their own. Seems possible.

We will see, I guess. Maybe he will overstep and someone will actually call him on it.

There are very few someones with the authority to do anything. Assuming you meant nonviolently…

Charlie Kirk was political the same way the Ku Klux Klan is political.

Well he has in so many other ways, but why not?

Honestly, I am much happier if he calls this his reichstag fire moment. Charlie Kirk practiced what he preached, and got exactly what he fucking deserved.

The right doesn't want us to resist. They will decry resistance in all forms, yet continue to steal, rape, and maim the people who would resist. It's not about letting them have what they want, it's about making sure it's really fucking hard to get it.

Thanks. I was looking for a documented list of the shit he said.
