    What?

    Has it even been a week since Trump himself declared war on Chicago?

    Don’t act like any escalation is because one piece of shit got got. Whatever comes next was co.ing anyways.

    If what happened today has any effect on Trump’s timeline, it likely slows it down.

    Every piece of shit just got reminded that this is still America. 40% of people have easy access to a gun, and most Americans can buy one in under an hour.

    They’re going to calm down, at least in person. Violence is about the only thing that keeps fascist out of daylight, especially when they already control the government

      This was done by someone with skills and discipline.

      It was probably deliberate, and ordered by the administration, and will be used for Trump to try to take guns away from citizens so he can start sending goons to our homes

      They started this earlier in the week with the trans gun ban speculation. And immediately Trump knew and posted when he was shot. And Fox News already has a script ready.

          This this this. And Kirk so loved his Fearless Leader that the Leader figured Kirk would be ok knowing he would be more useful to Leader as a dead distraction than a played out influencer of youth when those youth are abandoning the R anyway.

        I won’t say that Trump wouldn’t order the cold blooded murder of one of his allies for a small temporary gain, but

        skills and discipline.

        doesn’t sound like anything I’ve seen out of this administration
