A Democratic Party not having an explicit platform of reforming the Judicial Branch after today is not a party I want to vote for.

Tom Cotton would not even be in Congress, were it not for the huge defense contractors supporting him from the beginning and keeping him flush with cash.

The #GOP is going to keep punching us in the face constantly.
If we don't punch back, we're "pussies".
If we do punch back, we're the radical left destroying America.
They're never going to applaud our restraint or our reaction.
We can't behave to please them.
We can behave to protect our nation.

I admit I jumped the gun. I immediately said the shooter was a white male, registered Republican, who voted for Trump 3 times. But as a 22 year old he only voted for Trump twice, at most.

Pretty clear that a lot of people jumped the gun on the motive behind Kirk’s assassination. The shooter:
1. Grew up in a Republican family
2. Donated to Donald Trump
3. Loved guns
4. Was steeped in Groyper culture
This isn’t a simple “raging leftist hated Kirk” scenario.

The Minnesota coverage was done and over within a week. What's the over/under on the length of reaction and coverage to this? Especially considering grievance/victim culture is oxygen to these people?
We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

If your headline says “Putin declares Easter ceasefire in Ukraine” without also including the fact that Russian forces haven’t stopped fighting for even a second, you’re just helping his propaganda machine.
