I think in Pennsylvania a lot of people who couldn't bring themselves to vote for Kamala finally woke up and smelled the napalm.

Sadly, this does sound like Fetterman.
This is either completely made up or it’s Fetterman.
Both equally plausible.

Meantime, socialism with Chinese characteristics has come run so far ahead of the West on solar that venture capital firms are ignoring western solar companies. Talk about energy dominance.
Capitalism is so fun cause we invent renewable energy and then for some reason (capitalism again) electricity is getting more expensive AND we aren’t really turning off that much fossil fuel combustion. Fantastic stuff

Yes, I'd like to pray in peace. My small church (with the gay pride flag out front) has security concerns. We've put in bullet resistant glass. The outer doors are locked after worship begins. Someone remains in the narthex to open for latecomers. At times that is me, 1st line of defense.
I want to be able to worship without worrying that someone could walk in with a rifle and start shooting.
The shooter is dead - how are you going to prosecute him?

Leavitt on Michigan shooting: "As the president rightfully put in his Truth Social yesterday, this appears to be yet another targeted attack on Christians. And the Trump administration is fully committed to not only investigating these crimes but prosecuting them to the fullest extent of the law."

Does anyone else suspect this is a bait and switch set up, where DT walks into the meeting and all the generals are required to take an oath of personal loyalty to il duce?

This is also partially an extended War On Terror hangover - both were in Iraq
Here's Nigel Max Edge and Thomas Jacob Sanford.
Both committed mass shootings within 24 hours of one another. Two more cases of White on White crime.
Is it the fatherlessness in the White community?
Are they Inherently violent because of their race?
Or, is it the guns?
Sip it slowly. 🔥☕️

Dang! This should be an Olympic event. 10 of 10.
ICE attempted

It needed to be scored.

CHRISTIAN IDENTITY IS A WHITE POWER THEOLOGY, not just identifying as Christian. Christian Identity believes that white people are the lost tribe of Israel and all people of color and Jewish people are descended from beasts or from Satan. (1)

“Their place in history is settled.” These dipshits have absolutely no idea how history works.
(And the vast majority of ‘history’, as @karl-jacoby.bsky.social explains here, has been pretty clear-eyes that Wounded Knee was a massacre anyway.)

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

At Walgreens for my yearly Covid vaccine. I overheard someone else at counter whose insurance didn't cover the shot; cost is $250.

He wants to relive that Alec Baldwin scene from Glengarry Glen Ross.
Whatever the reason Hegseth is calling all these generals to Virginia for, you gotta assume that it probably could have been an email.

Sharpie gate redux?
These people can’t even be competent w/Sharpies
Hours after a shooting of ICE detainees, the FBI says “early evidence” of messages on the rounds are “anti-ICE in nature.”
Here is a picture FBI Director Kash Patel just tweeted of “the unspent shell casings recovered…engraved with the phrase ANTI ICE.”
