Political Roundtable Part XXXIV

[doclinkin]

There's no such thing as professional hit men. It's a Hollywood invention.

No. There’s no such thing as one who hires out to solo civilians. There absolutely are professional soldiers for hire. Erik Prince has built a fortune on assembling teams of them.

You’re deeply naive if you think soldiers leave the service and retire to become florists and veterinary assistants. Or you’ve never spoken with any special forces types. There are some who are patriots. A d some who are just professional sociopaths.

Kash Patel looks like it's bring your kid to work day, and he's dressed up like an FBI agent. Dude is a total moron.

Apparently they got the guy. His father drove him into the police station.

The usual suspect, what is wrong with the culture of these people. *Sarcasm*

[pancakes3]

The alleged "transgender and antifascist ideology" on the bullet was... "a series of arrows"

This reads as a professional hit. Which does not tend to mesh with the usual ideologues and fanatics who commit these acts.

Until I saw the video of Charlie Kirk explaining how publicly and privately he’s been pushing for the full and total release of the files, and understand that until recently he was driving the crusade among the MAGAverse for the public shaming and imprisonment of anyone implicated.

Edited. Looking for the full clip.

I don't know when that clip is from, but from context it sounds like when it was before the administration reversed course on their stance on the release. Every single person in the MAGAverse, including Trump himself said that they were going to release the files. on camera.

Bye bye HuffPost, I am not registering/paying, can’t support every news site.

Republicans saying "Yay we can go full Nazi now"

“Charlie Kirk being assassinated is the American Reichstag fire,” said Matt Forney, a rightwing writer and blogger. He said Democratic politicians should be arrested and the party banned. “It is time for a complete crackdown on the left.”

[AFM]

Calling Matt Forney a right wing blogger is hilarious. He’s a literal white nationalist and considered a complete joke, even on the right. A punching bag of sorts.

[Zonkerbl]

And it looks like the shooter didn't like Kirk, so he'll be painted as representing all liberals now. Time for *more* right wing bloodshed, as if they hadn't murdered enough people

Well, Charlie Kirk is a "free-speech absolutist" who was "doing things the right way" so...

And that's the thing, though. These people exist. Republicans know they exist, and instead of condemning them, they've embraced them. That's how stochastic terrorism happens.

Ya think?

To be precise:

"Cox says a family member reported that Robinson had become "more political" in recent years, and said he "didn't like" Kirk

Bullet casings were found with inscriptions, Cox says - one on an unfired casing said: "Hey fascist! Catch!"

Yeah I watched the news conference. The other casing said "if you are reading this, you're gay." Not even kidding.

Patel ended the news conference by saying "I'll see you in Valhalla". Do I really have to say what's on my mind right now or do you fellas got it

For some reason that made me think of Def Leppard, why what did it make you think of

Tonight we podcast, for tomorrow we die.

Yet another example of why banality can actually be quite dangerous. Self-deluded and overly dramatic intellectual lightweights with power and huge, fragile egos.

Just an indian telling a catholic I'll see you in Valhalla. Very cringe and very funny. I guess it's also the american dream

Given the current context it's hard not to interpret it as a nod and wink to militant extremists.

The irony of course being that the Nazis burned the Reichstag as a means to an end, just like the GOP is martyring that piece of **** Charlie Kirk right now.

Insane.

Although, I don’t think Patel is read or educated enough to know that the Nazi‘s co-opted and heavily borrowed from Norse mythology.. or is he?

Absolute clown show.

Declarations of war and invoking a fight to death is crazy coming from the head of the FBI.

These lunatics are unhinged.

All this while the mainstream media is kowtowing to the GOP and treating Kirk like the second coming of JFK.

HOW ON EARTH ARE THEY ALL MISSING THE POINT THAT NOT ALL POLITICAL SPEECH IS JUST THAT?
