It's been 9 horrible months and I find myself looking back on those "eating the cats and dogs" days with nostalgia.

Top tip: when putting out a message to cool things down, perhaps DJT shouldn’t call people Radical Left Terrorists. Just a thought.

Serpentstooth · 11/09/2025 06:07

When someone believes everyone should be free to say what they want to, despite the pain caused to the blamelesss, and believe what they choose to, despite the contrary evidence put before them, then this is an inevitable result. It's just the beginning and MAGA and Trump should be ashamed to show their faces anywhere. Yet as they don't know what shame is I expect them to be Trumpeting their ignorance loudly and proudly. God help America.

Thanks for the new thread @Spandauer

America is a mess right now.

Thanks for the thread @Spandauer

I have watched what Trump has said on this death and I really wish I hadn't. It's put me in a bit of a bad mood.
I loathe cheap political point scoring

I have to repeat what my DD has said. -His first attempt to stoke a culture war was not very believable. This is more so

Serpentstooth · 11/09/2025 06:52

Indeed, and he already has his militia in place. What a coincidence. Bigly 🙏 peace.

BustingBaoBun · 11/09/2025 07:31

All flags half mast.

Did he do the same for the murdered Leader of the Democractic Caucus and her husband?

Charlie Kirk was an activist and media personality... a little different to someone who was a public servant.
However, what an awful thing for his wife and young children. I wish it hadn't happened.

Just watched it again. You're right. It jumps/skips. There's no way that was done in one take.

OrangeCrushes · 11/09/2025 09:03

Trump literally called Kirk a martyr. Sickening.

My DD says it is 100% AI and not him at all and with her work she is quite knowledgeable on this sort of thing

Hi all - wanted to post as it's been bugging me. When Trump was shot in the ear weren't there loads of people in the crowd filming the shooter for an hour or so before the attack? Are the American protective services SO BAD they can't see these gunmen, or do they not check rooves? Considering it's happened again with Kirk, it does feel somewhat, planned?

Deafnotdumb · 11/09/2025 09:39

That video does trigger the uncanny valley for me, which hints at AI. Feels weird to say it (MAGA-style fake news) but I'm wondering if it was filmed, then edited and touched up with AI. Given the incompetence of the US administration, it would not surprise me.

Trump has been seen IRL - right?

Evenstar · 11/09/2025 09:45

Thanks for new thread, does anyone else feel like things are coming to some kind of crisis?

That video of Trump does feel very off, and his comments will only serve to throw fuel on the fire of this volatile situation.

Edited

There won’t have been anywhere near the same level of security for Charlie Kirk though, so very easy for someone to get themselves into a position unnoticed. Apparently Utah permits carrying guns on campuses so even someone walking around with a gun (not sure if it’s an Open Carry state) wouldn’t necessarily raise eyebrows.

One thing I’d agree with, and it’s a comment not a conspiracy theory, is that the shooter was obviously well trained. Reports state the shot was fired from some distance (I though I saw 200ft mentioned) and to hit a single target with a straight “kill” shot (as opposed to just spraying bullets at random) does not happen through sheer luck.

FirstCuppa · 11/09/2025 09:48

I just thought it was security 101 to check for snipers on rooves before any politician does an outdoor event. There is a video on X of someone where they've filmed a guy who ran across the roof seemingly before it started, so if the crowd can see it, why couldn't security?
Will see if I can find it

DuncinToffee · 11/09/2025 09:49

Brew thanks Spandauer

PerkingFaintly · 11/09/2025 09:49

Yes, clearly a very skilled marksperson.

And yes, huge sympathy to his wife and children.

Very similar to the Trump one (and wasn't that a lucky flesh wound!)
