Charlie Kirk Shot and killed

[GAVol]

2008 would of been the best time for to Hillary to actually win for the country.

That’s the biggest miscalculation of her political career. The 2008 financial meltdown and the GOP running John McCain pretty much ensured a Democrat was getting elected. It’s hard to believe she couldn’t have played it differently and stacked the deck to get the nomination like she did in 2016. She clearly thought Obama wasn’t ready and she could walk through the primaries and get the nomination.

One more thing that made it all so shocking. I think a lot of people overestimated the evolution of the country.

Overestimated the evolution of the country?

Overestimated the evolution of the country?

“Trump proved we were really bad people! I thought so highly of us for electing Obama!”- incoming response

Anything in a leftward direction = evolution/improvement

Anything else = backwards, regressive, etc

Overestimated the evolution of the country?

yea.

A fringe group wrought with mental illness that want to kill babies, can’t think for themselves, have no clue what their gender is, zero work ethic, let feelings dictate everything about their lives, etc etc.

Have y'all discussed the released text messages? It reads like a really badly written script from a Britbox crime drama. If I was at all inclined to believe conspiracy theories, I would find it more plausible that 2 old, white small town cops sat down and decided to fabricate a text thread between the suspect and his roommate because they couldn't actually find any evidence.

This one deserves a big shrug. She's in charge of printing. She's not in the classroom. Her opinion of Charlie Kirk isn't terribly relevant.

Have they actually released the texts? All I've seen is the video of the official reading them aloud.

What about this. Educators are a real issue in the country

Post the way I post???

It's the way I feel gives me the best chance of moving the needle with the people who most need their needles moved.

You make a great point about moving the needle forward. This sounds like good news.

I remember the text convo was posted yesterday. I thought the murderer seems lucid and of clear mind.

That's CNN's transcription. My first thought when I listened to the DA read the texts is that his office might have translated them from abbreviated text speak into plain English so they could be read aloud.

Very interesting video from Candace....**** is about to hit a fan.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Candace who was VERY close to Charlie is taking A LOT of heat for comments on releasing texts and emails from Charlie.

Not gonna watch it, because Candace Owens is awful. But to answer the question: hopefully there's a lot they're not telling us. It's a murder investigation. If they were making every detail public they'd be torpedoing their own case.

She's in charge of printing.

Don't wanna press the issue?

Color you unconcerned?

She's a paper tiger?

I don't trust CNN or Fox. They lean to the left and right, respectively. Use AP or PBS for politically neutral articles.

 

[Vol8188]

Yep, they kind of kicked a hornets nest for 8 years imo.. especially Michelle.. she just could not stop herself.. and if you didn’t agree with every little thing they did, suddenly you were racist.. or you didn’t vote for him… racist lol.. it brought back a lot of race stuff we had pretty much squashed already.. I often thought it would have worked better to have the first black president be a Republican, actually it probably wouldn’t have been so divisive

Yeah the media was a huge contributor to that. They refused to ever criticize Obama for anything, leading to the rise of alternative right wing media.

Even today they’ll still lie and say “his only scandal was wearing a tan suit!”

or maybe a little bit more believable conspiracy is that these people typed out a text thread in case the suspect was caught that would keep the roommate out of trouble?

Well, radicals don't really think about what they say.

there is 1 part where it says [my dad]. i'm assuming CNN changed what was actually in the text for clarification? i wish they hadn't changed anything
