        Well, that’s not right at all. Catching a con-man saying something truthful? Nah, you just haven’t seen the lie yet.

        Maybe nazi charlie wanted a fake 'ear wound", too. Those maga nazis do fuck things up extremely commonly.

    Does anyone else find it wild that the first confirmation of his death (apart from anyone who had eyes and saw the wound) comes from the President of the United States? Who did not extend the same formality to the lawmaker assassinated in Minnesota just a few months ago?

    Just for the record, this was his response to the attack on Paul Pelosi:

    “Why has he not been bailed out?” Kirk said Monday on his podcast of the man who allegedly beat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi‘s husband Paul with a hammer last Friday. “By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out, I bet his bail’s like thirty or forty thousand bucks.” With a smirk, he added: “Bail him out and then go ask him some questions.”

        So nazis are talking about how wonderful he is? Yeah, they’re nazis. He was a nazi. He spread religious hate speech as much as he possibly could.

        He wasn’t a 'far right political influencer"

        He was a common nazi.

        In some cultures, a bullet to the carotid artery is a sign of admiration.

        Edit: I just wanna make it clear that I don’t support violence. This line just occurred to me and it was too funny not to post, even though it’s pretty dark.

          If their God were real, he would FUCKING HATE Republicans. The shooter hasn’t been caught yet, maybe God was hiding behind a cloud with a sniper rifle. Zadkiel telling him to go for a headshot, Azrael says that’s a pussy shot because it’s such a big target. Gods like “bet, watch this shit.”
