When asked about the death of a W. Virginia National Guardsman, the President of the United States bragged about his electoral margin in her state.
When asked about the shooter, he called the reporter a stupid person.
Please stop holding quarter for anyone supporting this monstrous piece of shit.

Next time someone asks what's the matter with Musk's Twitter, show them this:
An account in India, amplifying a billionaire from South Africa being cheered by an Irish passport holder (using an alias) to encourage civil unrest in the UK.

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.
We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:
a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

Let's be clear-eyed about what this is.
The United States is pushing for regime change in Europe, supporting the far right in their efforts to take power in the next elections. As a result, they're polling in 1st place in Germany, France & UK
And our centrist leaders pretend it's not happening.

America is pursuing regime change in Europe
The far-right candidate won yesterday's presidential election in Poland, thanks at least in part to help from the Trump regime. Centrist EU governments need to realise America wants them out.

That final point is absolutely crucial.
The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

OK, we're going to need to know how the "fireworks" line made it out into the media, when it very much appears that this is a clear-cut case of arson.
So it wasn't fireworks. It was a calculated and deliberate attempt at the mass murder of men, women and children.
