Mayhem steals all of his material from Bluesky and Threads, so you would have to provide all the comedy, I’m afraid.

[Mayhem]

Not on Threads. And I check Bsky maybe once every two days. Sorry, the quip didn't come from either place. Anyhow Kirk was a pawn, thought he was important, and got sacrificed for this administration's "greater good"...

I'm in for that 100%. On the entire 1+9 cohort clown-show of humor.

I think you should be banned for outright celebrating an assassination of a public figure, let alone gaslighting any reader here into somehow believing that a man was killed by anyone other than his deranged social-opposition.

I think that speaks volumes about you and I don't think you should have a space here spouting that kind of bull$#!(. It demonstrates what kind of guy you are and it demonstrates that you actually have no argument at all given that you have to rely on wordplay and arbitrary reconstruction of the framing of an assassination.

I think you've demonstrated in finality that you're a real $#!(bag and I don't think you belong on the forums spouting nonsense that relies so heavily on skewing facts to fit your mental-model. And I also think that everything I've said here is utterly defensible and demonstrable given your output, if not across the entire thread, then right here, quoted in what I sincerely hope is your final post on this forum. Ever.

Impeachment on Hegseth off to a 'great' start with eleven Dems sleeping in and not voting.

[Andrew NDB]

They forgot to find any crime. Whoops.

Man, what a tasteless joke. Don‘t stoop to that level.

I don't do conspiracy theories. But there's a lot of suss stuff about the whole situation. The bullet fragments recovered don't match the supposed gun. The paving over of the crime scene literally less than two days after the incident. That his mic system appeared to do something funny, like, possibly explode. And that isn't even considering his marriage was a bit odd, plus Erika was a former Trump pageant winner and Trump introduced them to each other.

Kirk's alleged killer (how long since we heard anything about what's going on with him?!) was politically non-affiliated with no memberships, and came from a Republican heavy family. So really not Kirk's "opposition" per se. Unlike the two main Trump "assassination" attempts that were carried out by former Trump supporters. Well the first was not, possibly also staged, he never got hit in the ear...

[ToTheNines]

Guy who can’t think for himself “doesn’t do conspiracy theories”…

Then proceeds to posit some theories about the US government potentially lying.

I take it back Mayhem, you’re a funny bloke after all.

[Coola Yagami]

To be fair... are you saying the US government doesn't lie? C'mon.

Gotta love like for the longest time it was 'the government was shady' and 'never trust the government', but once CoVid hit suddenly everybody wants to rimjob the government without question.

[Mayhem]

Don’t know about there but here we followed the guidelines laid out AND questioned them without being sheep if something seemed off.

I wonder which side did that, the left or the right...

Both. In different ways.

The left got crazy over the vaccines and mandates.

The right would follow Trump into the fire if they could.

Trump had nothing to do with anything with COVID beyond bringing in the "vaccine" that Biden trumpeted (and subsequently tried to unemploy anyone who wouldn't get it).

The right just wants freedom and to be left alone. Period. Simple.

I think you've identified something real and in that case it's basically people on a massive scale looking for guidance rather than creating their own. Again - more peasant-thinkers than kings and it manifested on a large scale during a global crisis. But it also went "tribal".

[FredWolfLeonardo]

Covid drew me away from the Right-Wing. I was initially a little skeptical of the vaccine but seeing friends and family members take it and turn out fine, prompted me to get it.

Also, the government has done evil things, but genociding it's own population is not one of them. They want a functioning populace, and you need to really point to why they would want to create a vaccine that sterilises people and causes millions of deaths.

Then I saw all the protests, where protestors slung feces at police while spouting the most unhinged tinfoil hat conspiracies. This is what the Right Wing had become and I wanted no part of it. "Freedom, Nuremberg 2.0., UN, WEF, WHO Globalist and Communist Agenda."

Nono, that was the "Summer of Love," remember? The left, once again.

I mean, I'm not defending any of the property damage and violence at the 2020 protests, but you have to look at the ideology behind the protests as well.

It's the ideology behind the covid protests which drove me away from the right-wing.
