Chicago Cubs 3B Matt Shaw attended the trashy Charlie KKKirk Rally

Who's going to have to clean up the latest mess
Republicans have made of America?

When Shaw was asked about his attendance he claimed to have met Kirk in Arizona during Cubs Spring Training and the two connected over their faith and Kirk's Cubs Fandom, 

“He texted me after every game, ‘Great win for the Cubbies.’ And he was super, super supportive of us, and obviously someone who’s really faithful.  I’m not concerned at all, no,” Shaw said. “My connection with Charlie was through our faith, and that’s something that drives me every day."

Shaw claimed his teammates have been very supportive.  I wonder how many of them know Kirk was a notorious racist, loved gun violence, and mocked his political opponents when they were injured by crime or rightwing domestic terrorism.  The people in support of Shaw or of the Charlie KKKirk Klan Rally in Arizona in general appear to be treating that despicable spectacle as though it was a somber, dignified ceremony where Kirk was praised and remembered with grace instead of a thinly veiled Triumph of the Will production.

Besides the vile fascist bloodthirsty rhetoric of Pyscho Stephen Miller, which I highlighted previously, it also included the erstwhile President of the United States proclaiming,

“That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent and I don’t want the best for them. I’m sorry."

MAGA shits on the Flag and trashes the Nation

and that doesn't even mention the schlocky merchandise for sale, Erikkka Kirk's DEI elevation to the head of Turning Points USA, or the massive mountains of trash created by the event goers.  Or the Grindr outages at the festival...

But, trashing America is the goal of MAGA.  For years the Corporate Media has gas-light the American people into believing that Trump/MAGA simply have different ideas on what's best for all Americans.  They don't. Republicans led by Trump and their cultish followers hate America and yearn to see the Government hurt, imprison, and kill many people. 

And let's not gloss over the Cancel Culture attacks conservatives have undertaken with gusto against anyone pointing out Charlie Kirk was a disgusting bigot, despicable racist, and glorified gun deaths and violence. Proving yet again the worst sin you can make in America is to accurately quote a right-winger or Republican.  Furthermore, anyone shocked at the hypocrisy of rightwingers seemingly not adhering to the "principles" of free speech they so ardently claimed to support simply doesn't understand that Republicans get off on being massive hypocrites, it's a fascist favorite game to hold completely different standards for you than for themselves.  Indeed a key hallmark of Fascism is the unequal application of laws, norms, values, and traditions depending upon who is in question. 

Rightwing domestic terrorism in Dallas and Rising Republican Bloodlust and 4 straight days of non-stop embarrassment

The cries of this widow have begun to echo...  
A white rightwing domestic terrorist shot 3
"evil-doers" at an ICE detention center
in Dallas before killing himself

“The evildoers... responsible for my husband’s assassination... have no idea what they’ve done. They killed Charlie... You have no idea what you have just unleashed across this entire country.  The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry."    

 I started writing this post about Trump's incredibly ridiculous, mentally insane, and ridiculous appearance at the UN and then rightwingers calling for murder at the UN because Trump's team of incompetents apparently broke the escalator.

But, these days of embarrassment were far from over and the violence Republicans wish to unleash upon all Americans is rising...

These United States are dead.  This is not a doom and gloom post but, simply an acknowledgment of the current situation and of the heavy slog in front of Us.

After RFK Jr declared he solved why Autism happens by blaming acetaminophen and Trump took the podium to to blame Tylenol (because he can't pronounce acetaminophen) and yet again the Corporate Media did their best to cover for him.

Understand in Republican parlance this is actually blaming women for taking the Tylenol not the medication itself, because Republicans hate women and yearn to see them returned to a docile role of making children, because as J.D. Vance's personal spiritual preacher Doug Wilson has repeatedly stated, "women are the kind of people that real people come out of..."

Now, while Republican plans for decades have been to crush The American Dream and return the vast majority of the Nation into perpetual Corporate Bondage and Wage Slavery, there are many others unaligned with the right who (perhaps correctly) believe they won't have a better standard of living than their parents or grandparents.  For them the post World War 2 liberal order of America is no longer responsive to their hopes and aspirations, with crushing medical debt, stagnating wages and ever slimmer benefits and pensions.  But, while they abandoned hope in the Democratic Party, white people were sought after by Republicans and inundated with anger and fear and taught to hate the Country as it was in the latter 20th century and now in the early 21st century; hence MAGA.

Republicans weaponized their subversion and undermining of the Government and cultivated racism and sexism.  After all, Republicans entire political platform has been Government doesn't work and doesn't represent you white people and then once elected they work to ensure their claims are true, thus further reinforcing their hold upon white people.  And the Democratic Party has seemingly not figured out how to respond to the 50-year Republican assault other than to rely on extremely charismatic leaders, like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama but, this isn't too blame them for Republican perfidy.

My contention is; since the Lewis Powell memo and forced resignation of Richard Nixon, Republicans have worked to subvert and destroy the social safety net, the new deal, workers rights, civil rights, environmental protections and everything else that makes living more than just the drudgery of labor and the dread of losing the meager standard of living most Americans find themselves shunted into by Republican political policies.

But, I don't believe regular Normie Americans realize the levels of rising bloodlust consuming the Right and which Republicans are on the cusp of unleashing on all of us.  Let's be clear there are segments of society already facing despicable state-sponsored violence.  Remember "Alligator Alcatraz", well according to the Trump Government they are unclear where 1500 people once housed there currently are located.  But, Republicans crossed a terrible line with their bloodlust after Kirk's "unfortunate" murder.

Republicans screamed for War and mass murder immediately, and even when the facts of the shooter; a Republican white mormon male, raised in gun culture, radicalized by violent video games, and on-line toxic fascist rhetoric, they didn't stop blaming "the evil-doers".

And this Horst Wessel Rally for good Nazi Kirk was a storm of violent rhetoric, imagery, and the yearning to engage in mass murder.  Here's Nazi Stephen Miller at the Rally;

“Erika is the storm. We are the storm. And our enemies cannot comprehend our strength, our determination, our resolve, our passion. We will prevail over the forces of wickedness and evil. They cannot imagine what they have awakened. They cannot conceive of the army that they have arisen in all of us."  I suggest you read his entire bloodthirsty speech.

Who the fuck is they?  I ask... but you already know...  Look I know Stephen Miller ain't going to be putting any combat duty, he's a Political Officer, his job is to spit vitriol and hatred and to get others to do the murdering.  And as we can see in Dallas today, incidents of murder by rightwing domestic terrorists are simply going to increase.  The inflection point is coming, best be prepared because Republicans are going to call for the mass murder of every non-MAGA person.

Update:

Holy Fuck, the FBI is manufacturing evidence and putting it out on Twitter immediately after a shooting!  To call this unseemly and unprofessional is to underemphasize how bad and how fucked the Nation is...

But, remember this all the evidence Ben SShapiro and other rightwing podcast propagandists will need to definitely declare the shooter to be a "Leftist" or Trans...

ICE straight-up murdered Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez

     And Kristi Noem and the Department of Homeland Security immediately and wantonly lied about the incident in order to control the narrative and to deny the murdered man's due process.

Edited: The Chicago Sun Times and Chicago Tribune obtained body cam footage from the responding Franklin Park Police. ICE Klan members are not wearing body cameras as they are Federal Officers and not subject to Illinois requirements.  Traitor Trump rescinded federal directives about body cameras for DOJ officers.

As of right now, because of gross incompetence by the Trump DOJ there is no clear-cut answer to what Agency is going to investigate the shooting.  Illinois State Police investigate Officer involved shootings throughout the State but, while it would seem to be a job for the FBI Kash Patel is a joke of an incompetent and Dan Bogino is a piss-drinking fascist lackey.  Instead Noem and the Department of Homeland Security is going to investigate themselves and conclude they were right all along...

This shooting is also a BLACK LETTER LAW violation of the 1985 SCOTUS ruling Tennessee V. Garner which is clear using deadly force (i.e. the Ultimate Seizure under the Constitution) to stop an escape is an explicit Violation of the 4th Amendment.  There's also the question of Officer-induced jeopardy where an Officer can't claim self-defense because he put himself into harm's way unreasonably. Of course, the ICE Klan is simply going to use the get out of jail for killing a minority card by claiming to "Fear for his life"...  

Now, I write it's a clear Constitutional violation but, under the White Supremacist Court and with the raging White-lash of the last 15 years it's undeniable this Court would never rule against the killer ICE Officer. Not that the case will ever make it to the court as the Trump Department of Justice would never, ever pursue a civil rights violation case under code 42 U.S.C. § 1983, seeing as one of the first things the Trump Department of Injustice did was drop the clear cut bribery case against criminal human thumb Tom Homan.

Remember White People are conditioned in this country to immediately blame the person murdered by Law Enforcement for not complying and white people absolutely believe every hispanic or black person walking around the country is a criminal who simply hasn't been caught yet thus making their mistreatment, or rights' violations, and even their murders not only acceptable but warranted. 

As Chief Nazi Charlie Kirk said repeatedly of "Blacks", "Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more. – The Charlie Kirk Show, 19 May 2023

Operation "Midway" Blitz and the Republican policy of domestic terrorism

Anyone who wears a drop leg holster with the 
straps grinding up into their crotch is a poseur
wannabe - also look no gun (photo - Colin Boyle)

    Trump is so venal and so stupid I believe he had planned to name this Fascist Operation "Chicago Blitz" after his failed USFL team and then had to pivot to "Midway" As Governor J.B. Prtizker and Mayor Brandon Johnson made it clear they wouldn't just roll over for him.

I suppose we should be thankful he didn't name it Operation Barbarossa.

But, a good question is what has Midway Blitz accomplished since it began two weeks ago?

ICE officials have bandied about the number of 400-550 arrests made.  How credible is this number?  Who knows?  

"DHS is launching Operation Midway Blitz in honor of Katie Abraham who was killed in Illinois by a criminal illegal alien who should have never been in our country. This operation will target the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens in Chicago,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “For years, Governor Pritzker and his fellow sanctuary politicians released Tren de Aragua gang members, rapists, kidnappers, and drug traffickers on Chicago’s streets—putting American lives at risk and making Chicago a magnet for criminals. President Trump and Secretary Noem have a clear message: no city is a safe haven for criminal illegal aliens."

 Remember what I told you the goal of everything Republicans do is designed to invoke Fear & Anger in their white power base.  And he it is encapsulated in this press release from September 8th!  Be angry at Pritzker!  Fear the Tren De Aragua!

BE AFRAID WHITE PEOPLE THE DEMOCRATS MAKE DEMOCRAT CITIES ARE A MAGNET FOR BROWN CRIMINALS!

That's the other key point of Republicans propaganda is to make white people believe every Hispanic person is a priori a criminal and thus whatever happens to them (as with the murder of Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez) or the Elgin man and American citizen the DHS took out of his home without a warrant in a clear cut violation of the 4th Amendment, is their own fault; to use white peoples parlance you already committed a crime!  OR you should have followed Orders!

Tricia McLaughlin, defended the unconstitutional detention of an American citizen, by using the law enforcement trope, "briefly detained for their and the officer's safety".  This is Police Jargon you'll find in countless reports wherein an Officer has handcuffed someone without cause.  It's a huge problem... normally, but we are not in normal times we are in the Era of Fascist Paramilitary Operations.

Even one of the men arrested in that botched and unlawful raid in Elgin, whom McLaughlin falsely touted as a big oog-booga illegal threat, appears to be not a criminal;

“This is the shortest report I’ve ever seen on anybody,” U.S. Magistrate Judge Keri Holleb Hoatling said, waving his pretrial report in her hand. “He has a criminal history of nothing. … There is no danger that I see to the community whatsoever.”

 Of course, the entire dentition and arrest policies of enacted by the Racist in the Trump administration,  endorsed by the Six Sinister Supremes of the Supremacist Court, and effected by the White ICE Knights is in violation of the 4th Amendment which

explicitly protects persons and people (not citizens) and demands the minimum of Probable Cause.

But, instead every white person (and a fair number of bots) take to every Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and news story and type bloodthirsty screeds, FUCK YEAH!  GET THEM!  RAWR! as well as dEmocRATS prOteCt ILL-EAGLES hurr-durr-durr!!!  CITIZENS ONLY!!!

Now, I have nothing but respect and admiration for Dan Biss, Kat Abugahazaleh, and others who have put themselves outside the Broadview ICE Detention center and faced abuse, tear gas, and battery from the ICE Klan.  There were on-line rumors the detention center would close but, there's no fucking way Noem, Trump or any of the other villains in this maladministration would do that from protest pressure.  They fucking love the images and the brutality and love to broadcast it to their rabid racist base who see these images broadcast by Laura Inghraham in their homes in Nebraska, Alabama, or Idaho and go FUCK YEAH get them! 

Republicans yearn for blood in the streets.  Republicans love this violence.  Republicans want more.  Republicans are pushing for bigger confrontations and trying to gin up their base to engage in more domestic terrorism.  Trump and all his podcast propagandists thought they had the match with Charlie Kirk's fortunate killing but, even as the facts don't conform they are still using his death to foment violence.

So... as always be prepared.  Trump and the gang of criminals, rapists, racists, bigots, thieves, and traitors in his administration want open fighting in the streets.  They want violence and the the ability to call in the military for more direct kinetic operations against Americans.  Be brave, if you can, but be ready.

An ICE murder in Franklin Park, Illinois

    While Republicans, Nazis, and Corporate Media feverently try to turn Charlie Kirk into some kind of sainted martyr by ignoring what he said, did, and advocated for and by censoring and attacking anyone who quotes what Kirk said, did, and advocated for, whilst still lying about the motives of his killer, the Traitor Trump ICE Klan began operations in and around Chicago entitled Midway Blitz.

As always, Republicans spend their time coming up with these too cutesy names for their racist garbage but, naming the operation means there should be some kind of detailed order of operations or dossiers on the people they are tasked to apprehend;  now, I write this knowing this is most likely only true in the most vague sense.  While ICE is undoubtedly using NCIC and FBI databases for criminal name checks, those databases don't provide reliable information to be used in and of themselves to detain someone.  So, instead the Trumpstapho is going to rely on Boofer O'Kavanugh's racial profiling apologia from the Supremacist Court ruling; 

Moreover, as for stop of this individuals who are legally in the country, the questioning in those circumstances is typically brief, and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U.S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States.

Boofer just eviscerates the 4th Amendment here...  as a Police Officer one of the prime protections of the 4th Amendment is you can't just stop someone and demand they explain themselves;  these protections were encapsulated in the the 1968 ruling Terry v. Ohio and in the 1985 ruling Tennessee v. Garner. 

This Supremacist Court has removed that protection for an entire class of people based solely on their Race and color (and location).  It's a fucking infuriating.

But, we live in a time of ascendent fascism and outright and open constitutional violations of law.  ICE Agents have already been caught perjuring themselves in Court but the concept of Officer lying under oath, i.e. "Testilying" has been around for a long time.

So, of course ICE was going to lie about their killing of Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez.  From the Unraveled News story, What Happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez;

Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, confirmed by the Mexican consulate as a 38-year-old Mexican citizen from the state of Michoacán. An unidentified ICE agent fatally shot him in the heavily Latine Chicago suburb of Franklin Park during what DHS described as a “vehicle stop,” according to an official statement.

“He refused to follow law enforcements [sic] commands and drove his car at law enforcement officers,” the statement reads. “One of the ICE officers was hit by the car and dragged a significant distance. Fearing for his own life, the officer fired his weapon.“

Bystander videos and eyewitness accounts, however, tell a different story. 

Security footage near the scene in Franklin Park, as reported by CBS, shows two plainclothes agents approaching a silver sedan that had been blocked off by an unmarked SUV. 

The sedan eventually reverses from the two agents, and the officer on the passenger side points his firearm at the vehicle. 

As Villegas González drives away from the agents—not toward them, as DHS claimed—the agent on the passenger side aims his weapon at the back of Villegas González’s car.

Two gunshots can be heard in a separate security video. The second agent is not visible during the shooting, and it remains unclear which agent fired their weapon.

Other footage that circulated on social media following the shooting, recorded by on-scene witnesses, shows two men in body armor pulling Villegas González out of his vehicle after it crashed into the undercarriage of a semitruck:

DHS also claims one of their agents was “dragged … a significant distance.” 

The distance between the initial stop and where Villegas González’s car was crushed under a truck is roughly 100 feet.

Witness video obtained by Unraveled appears to show no other agents present in the immediate aftermath of the shooting:

Villegas González was pronounced dead after being taken to the nearby Loyola Hospital, according to a Friday evening statement from the Village of Franklin Park.

Look there is going to be no widespread outcry, cancel culture retribution, firings, or glowing tributes to Mr. Villegas-Gonzalez, because he is a Hispanic man and that is a category Republicans have deemed non-human.  If you look at any comments on Facebook or a news story there are hundreds of rabid white people who thirst for blood and even more disgustingly laugh and applaud this murder and the lawless actions of ICE.  It should be noted Villegas Gonzalez was not a "hardened criminal" despite whatever smear job the Department of Homeland Security claims.  But, White people have been driven insane and now not only support state-sponsored white supremacy and violence, they fucking yearn for it and ant it to escalate.

The Mexican Consulate in Chicago and U.S. Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, have called for a full investigation into the incident, and hopefully the amount of video already collected by the journalists at Unraveled will make it into the hands of the FBI, but expect the investigation to be stopped much like the Criminal Trump Department of Injustice stopped the investigation into Criminal human thumb Tom Homan who accepted bribes in order to subvert justice.

Broadview Brutality

“This is what it looks like when ICE violates our 1st Amendment rights.”
- Kat Abughazaleh

        ICE Agents in the Chicagoland area escalated their violence against protesters yesterday.  ICE Agents have also taken to digitally recording protestors as well as their own violent mistreatment of Americans and migrants.  They are acting with a callous impunity, which absolutely means they do not think they will ever suffer any consequences for their actions.

Understand the Trump Podcast Propagandists absolutely love this shit.  Understand Trump administration Nazis, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Tricia McLaughlin, Karoline Leavitt are fucking ecstatic.  Understand white people across the country are cheering this on and yearning for more and more violence.  This is exactly what they want to see and precisely what they voted for...

When MAGA saw historical images of state-supported violence against Civil Rights champions, anti-Vietnam war protestors they idolize the brutal criminal police officers.  Kat Abughazaleh was brutally hip-tossed this morning.  Abughazaleh and Dan Biss are amongst the Democratic candidates for Jan Schakowsky's Illinois 9th district Congressional seat.  They and dozens of other protesters where tear-gassed and pepper balled as well as manhandled outside the Broadview ICE Detention center.

I am not one to blame Democratic officials for the constitutional violations of Republicans nor for the criminal actions of White ICE Knights but, it's far past time for elected Democrats to recognize the era we are in; we are in an Era of Ascendent Fascism and White Supremacy.

I am very sorry for Hakeem Jeffries that he was denied an easy time in Office.  I am very sorry for Chuck Schumer that he gets to see all his work championing Israel get destroyed as Israelis become a bloodthirsty murderous state committing the atrocities once done to Jewish people.  I am very sorry the Democrats in the House, Senate, State Congresses and Governorships as well as lower elected offices have to live in this time but, that's where we are.

Republicans are going to use paramilitary law enforcement tactics and state-sponsored domestic terrorism to undo the United States of America and replace it with the NeoConfederate Authoritarian dystopia. 

And they will never be content with just turning the States they control into fascist shit holes;  Republicans plan to Rule or Ruin.  You can either be like Disney and kowtow, knuckle under, bow, and hope to not draw the anger and violence of Fascist Republicans or you can stand and fight.

Republicans crossed a line after Charlie Kirk was killed

He's a white conservative mormon?  Well, then...
He needs compassion, prayer, and understanding

They are at war with us! Whether we want to accept it or not, they are at war with us! And what are we gonna do about it? How much political violence are we going to tolerate? And that’s the question we’re just gonna have to ask ourselves.

This can never happen again. It ends now, Greg’s right again. This is a turning point, and we know which direction we’re going. - Faux News Jesse Watters 

    Let me tell you something, a giant basket of deplorable Republicans fucking crossed a big line yesterday.  Oh?  This was a "turning point" Jesse Waters?  You're goddamned right it was...    

As the details of the alleged shooter emerge, and he's a young white male, heavily into guns, video games, and violent rightwing on-line culture the roiling rightwing internet has cooled.   One of the biggest things that's being glossed over here is it’s one thing for a shitweasel polemicist like Charlie Kirk to defame and endanger LGBTQ persons or slander Professors on his hit list, because he’s a private person he's dead (MAY HE REST IN PISS) but the Republican Party and numerous influential rightwing personalities moved directly into threatening to murder millions of innocent people over these past 2 days.

Drunk Sonofabitch should stick to bloody mary's

These fucking people were so bloodthirsty and so strident and so vehement that a fucking WAR was coming.  But, while you might brush that off as the state of Republican rhetoric since 2009 at least, the sitting fucking President, numerous active members of Congress, and media persons with large platforms wantonly and willfully slandered, demonized, and endangered broad swaths of innocent Americans.

And yes I know that part of this is white privilege on my part.  Trump's White ICE Knights have been terrorizing and abusing hispanic and latino communities across the Nation.  And, of course, I recall Just Despicable Vance and Traitor Trump demonizing an entire innocent community of Haitian emigres in Ohio last August.

And yes I know it was step-wise process over the last 50 years; from Nixon's forced resignation until Trump's second Presidential win and popular vote election.

But, that fucking piece of shit traitor did a Presidential announcement where he put people's lives at risk.  People with absolutely no connection to what happened to that piece of shit Kirk.  At least 6 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) received bomb threats yesterday as the FBI and ATF fumbled around stopping uninvolved people and failing to identify the actual shooter.

These mother-fuckers better not think they can just shrug off what they said and wait for the next incident and act like they didn't say they wanted to round-up and put Democrats, Trans people, and numerous others into Death Camps.  Go Fuck yourselves.  

And these disgusting compliant corporate media collaborators showed they are firmly on the side of the fucking fascists;  What did they do?  Why they ran glowing hagiography pieces of that dead bigot Charlie Kirk.  They fired people who questioned or even just quoted Kirk's own comments.  And they dutifully ran with zero hesitation the absolute lie the shell casings were inscribed with Trans ideology messages.

I really do hope white people are upset and scared, because you'd better be.  Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Drunk Van Orden, Nancy Mace, Anna Luna and others are going to write a check your white candy asses are going to have to cash.

I'm not telling you to do anything.  

And I haven't even mentioned the war crime Trump and the DoD committed blowing up the Venezuelan boat and killing 11 innocent people.  Trump & MAGA have led the Nation into the abyss.  It didn’t happen overnight but here we are.  There are a lot of people, corporations, and organizations acting as though they will emerge from these next 3 and half years completely unscathed.  And perhaps they will;  Americans are too tired, too stressed, too overworked, too underpaid to delve deep into this abyss.  Trump is a symptom of the Republican's 50 year strangulation of the American Dream.  But, that's an abstraction, what's a reality is these fuckers in Office crossed a fucking line by threatening to murder millions of Americans and we are rapidly approaching that awful inflection point.

Trump and his cadre of miscreants better be really, really, really sure they want to keep going down this road because while they think this is July 1861 and Republicans will be able to have a Picnic at Bull Run while they watch ICE and the military round-up liberal squishes for execution, reality has a nasty liberal bias...

Republicans have their cause célèbre and threaten to murder millions after Charlie Kirk's "tragic" killing (Updated: The White Suspect is a Rightwinger)

Kirk died in the America Kirk wanted

ATTENDEE: Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years? 

KIRK: Too many. [Applause]

ATTENDEE: In America, it’s five. Now, five is a lot, right, I’m going to give you — I’m going to give you some credit. Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years? 

KIRK: Counting or not counting gang violence?  <scene>

    It's strange how in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, in service to his staunchly held pro-gun violence beliefs, we do not hear Republicans talking about how it's too soon to politicize a tragedy, or offering up the usual empty Thoughts & worthless Prayers, or blaming video games, or holding to what Charlie himself believed; his death was worth it for the precious and *holey* Second Amendment.

Instead like rabid ghouls Republicans rushed out to immediately make this a political story, to cast blame, and to threaten the most awful unrestrained violence against people who did not shoot Kirk;  

Republican congressman Drunken Van Orden of Wisconsin, " it happened because of the violent political rhetoric coming out of the left, being amplified by you people in the press."

Van Orden then advised Democrats in Congress to read history to see how the last civil war we started turned out.  Spoken exactly like a Lost Cause Revisionist Historian and to be crystal fucking clear, Americans defeated Van Orden's ideological forefathers in the battle and maneuver portion of the Civil War, which is why traitors like Derrick Van Orden turned to subversion and terrorism to defeat the United States of America.

Nancy ( . ) ( . ) Mace, screamed multiple times at everyone yesterday, eventually settling on the Democrats are too blame, "Democrats own what happened today.  I am devastated. My kids have called, panicking. All the kids of conservatives are panicking."

Woods movie script tells him he's a Hero

Right now, a lot of Corporate Media is white-washing Kirk's career and ignoring what vile polemicist, who repeatedly called for the violence against marginalized groups.  The Corporate Media is also chastising those who point out what a vile bigot and fascist Kirk was who routinely incited political violence including on Jan6th 2021.  Concurrently, the media is also ignoring violent promises of murder from Republicans and rightwingers.  There are literally thousands of examples from prominent rightwingers in the past two days.  Republicans have two emotions they seek to incite in their followers at all times Fear & Anger.

So, it's no surprise rightwingers immediately said the shooter was Trans, a group of innocent people whom Republicans have already conditioned their MAGA base to hate and loathe. 

Jason Chaffetz did so on Faux News, and then Steven Crowder and the Wall Street Journal teamed up yesterday morning to reveal Crowder had an email leak from a person who had seen the evidence that the Mauser rifle and bullets recovered were covered in Trans and Antifa markings.  Nancy Mace then reappeared to claim the Wall Street Journal reporting meant the shooter "was a tranny".  I was highly skeptical when the leak first came out but, would not have been surprised a clownish FBI & ATF run by Kash Patel would leak sensitive information pertaining to active investigation.  It's stunning but unsurprising how unprofessional a Field Office could become after Elon Musk and Big Balls got to fire the 25 year veteran Mehtab Syed from the Salt Lake City office with no explanation, other than she is a Muslim Lady and DEI.  Even worse the leak of Trans symbols carved on the ammo has now been retracted because it was clear it was standard markings on shell casings.  Something any rookie FBI or ATF agent should know...

Kash Patel has zero qualifications to run the FBI and this is apparent as he keeps claiming they've caught they guy before having to sheepishly admit they haven't and now he and Dan Ongo-Bongino went to the scene to do... to do what exactly?  Nothing but get in the way.  Bongino* and Patel are nothing more than Political Officers they don't have the requisite skill set to conduct an investigation and are there in a panic to yell at the agents on scene to motivate them.

But, while the various blame-casting might differ slightly the overall sentiment is the same;  We are going to indiscriminately murder millions of Americans.  

Republicans have been yearning, waiting, pleading for the chance to "use the guns" as one of Charlie Kirk's acolytes asked him in 2021 in Idaho.  A lot of Internet Bad Asses assume it will be a simple operation to round-up and liquidate millions of their ideological enemies; you know outspoken women, people with rainbow flags on their apparel, insufficiently deferential black people, snooty elitist Professors!  It will be easy to eradicate Liberal "Squishes".  Oh btw, did you know Kirk and his propaganda ministry Turning Points created a doxxing database called Professor Watchlist so his adherents could send death threats to those people for not teaching Trump's Truth?

But, the joy of being a Republican is having no memory and only caring about Deaths you can exploit and wave the bloody shirt at your followers.

Right now there's a lot of bloodthirsty rhetoric from rightwingers, but it's one thing to type some rant on Twitter or Threads but another to actually pick up a rifle and get to work.  Republicans don't have the stones to follow through, themselves, with their threats.  But, Stephen Miller hopes he can incite some unhinged rightwing mobs into violence and then give orders to other people in the massive Law Enforcement and US military apparatus to do the dirty work.

Update:

Trump went onto Fox Morning to announce the Charlie Kirk shooter was arrested.  This was another excuse for Trump to center himself as he has long known to treat everything like a reality tv show.  He scooped the official press conference.

Predictably the suspect wasn't caught by the work of the FBI/ATF/local authorities who must have fumbled the fingerprint pull and the firearms trace came back empty.

Now, sloppy police work aside; here's the kicker.  The suspect is a red-pilled Groyper follower of Nick Fuentes and is as rightwing as could be.  He's also the son of a Washington County Sheriff Deputy.  This comes on the revelation the white school shooter was a member of a white supremacist extreme on-line network.  

White people have been driven insane by the Faux News and broader Rightwing Propaganda Machine.

This, of course, will be no impediment to the Stephen Miller plan to round-up and liquidate members of the "Ideology".  And don't make me laugh at the thought any of these Republican members of Congress who inflamed the situation and used the most despicable bloodthirsty vile rhetoric at Innocent Fucking People will face even a scintilla of repercussion for their actions.

Charlie Kirk died the way he lived

Different when the barrel
points at you

 Will the shooting death of Charlie Kirk be the casus belli Republicans need to institute their campaign of widespread domestic terrorism and mass murder?

It's grimly ironic that Kirk's death is being treated as MAGA's 9/11 but, also emblematic of the time we live in with rising Authoritarianism and non-stop violent rhetoric from Republicans.

Democratic politicians and liberal pundits immediately responded to Kirk's death with somber calls to tone down the rhetoric and to condemn all political violence.  Republicans responded with declarations of War against millions of Left and Democratic organizations.

Bloodthirsty

Anna Paula Luna(tic) not her real name screamed at Democrats on the House Floor, Major Traitor Greene blamed Democrats for the shooting,  Elon Musk took to his platform to declare the left murderous,  Dirty Cop Clay Higgins vowed to use Congress to ban everyone who mocked Kirk's death from the Internet and Pedo DonOld Trump vowed to eradicate the radical leftist, whom he blamed for everything, and this is before the shooter has even been apprehended let alone anything about him learned.

As to the shooting I watched it once so let me give my non-expert ballistics report;  Kirk caught one round in the front left neck (apparently), the claim circulating is the shooter was about 200+ yards away.  If, the shooter had a rifle zeroed for 100 yards the drop in bullet trajectory would correspond to the 6-8 inch drop if he was aiming for the head.  That's all I'll say about that.

But, in wake of his death the condemnation of political violence from centrists and Democrats morphed into effusive praise with claims of his brilliant political acumen and comparisons to MLK Jr.  The fucking New York Yankees held a moment of silence and remembrance with his fat fucking head on the Jumbotron.  What a fucking grotesque sham.  

I come not to praise him but to bury him.  Charlie Kirk was a despicable Racist and Nazi, he took immense glee in mocking Paul Pelosi, routinely dismissed the qualities of empathy, said dead school children is merely the price we have to pay for the 2nd Amendment, praised the US Navy blowing up a Venezuelan boat with 11 unidentified and innocent people on board, and tried to blame the assassination of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortmann, her husband Mark, and their dog by a Trump-loving gunman on Governor Tim Walz.  His death came as he mocked gang violence and dismissed gun control.  Kirk is receiving large amount of empathy in death that he denied to large amounts of people in life.  I will give him the same amount of grace and sympathy he gave unto others.

Now, yesterday was dominated by a rush of rightwing propagandists calling for (literal) War, calling for the dismantling of the Democratic Party, calling for the rounding-up and imprisonment of leftists and liberals.  Chaya Raichik (Libs of TikTok) was bloodthirsty throughout the day.  These rightwing propagandists are performing the function of the old Soviets-style Political Officers,  Raichik you will recall even cosplayed as an ICE Officer complete with badge and federal beanie, going on raids.

These people however, have no fucking intention of every lacing up boots, grabbing a ruck, helmet, and rifle;  each of their calls is for others (under the auspices of Presidential Power) to do the dirty work, while they continue to incite from the safety of their phones and keyboards.

And everyone's who is caterwauling about rising Political Violence is merely demonstrating they are looking through blinders of white privilege.  State-sponsored "Political Violence" is already here and has been for months with Trump sending out his ICE White Knights to harass and detain brown people, now with the absolute backing of the Supreme Sinister Six.  Kirk himself absolutely endorsed "political violence" as he sent 80 buses packed with insurrectionists to DC for the Jan6th Terrorist Attack.

So, don't worry that Republicans will use this as a pretext to unleash the military or paramilitary law enforcement apparatus upon Us, they already did and they already planned too.  But, Republicans needs to be real, real, real, real, real sure they want to start ordering the "Day of the Rope" they have yearned for and dreamed about for years.  Because a lot of these cosplay internet tough guys think they can simply round-up and liquidate a bunch of liberal "squishes" need to make sure they don't put a stress test to the United States Military.

Anyway... Thoughts & Prayers...

As Kash Patel and the FBI flail away at this case, let us not forget that Charlie Kirk stated numerous times women of color got their jobs through DEI (i.e. Didn't Earn It).  So the former lead Field Agent in Salt Lake City, a Pakistani woman named, Mehtab Syed, incredibly qualified and highly regarded, with a string of excellent case work, was fired just a month ago with no rational given.

Update:

Conservative talk show host Steve Crowder obtained a description of the weapon from an unidentified person at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, he said in a post on X.

Now, rightwing media is running with "leaked" information from a source with direct knowledge claiming transgender and anti-fascist ideology was found on the bullets and or rifle.  You always knew Republicans were going to blame the Trans people for this, but I for one would think Senior FBI and ATF officials might be upset details of evidence was leaked immediately by someone involved in this case.  That sure would have been bad for me as a Police Officer.  And oh look who the source is for this, disgraced homophobic sex absuer Steven Crowder.  I assume he's trying to quicken his flagging MAGA talk show after the revelations of his disgusting behavior.

Republicans hate America: Mister Fascism goes to Washington D.C.

Besides jerking a hard dick
Boebert won't help Americans

As I was typing this;  Trump and his cadre of fascist flunkies began a Press Conference wherein they laid out their plan to usher in Fascism into the United States.  Traitor Trump rambled on with his fact-free verbal diarrhea blaming everything on Woke and the Radical Left or President Biden.  Just mounds of shitty gibberish.  But, what's clear by word and by deed is Fascism has come to the United States of America.

I was typing this:  Homelessness and the number of unhoused people shunted to the streets is a national disgrace for a Country which bills itself as the Greatest in the History of Mankind.  But, Donold Traitor Child Rapist Trump can always insert himself into any situation and make it worse.  Hence, Trump plans to round-up the homeless in DC and put them...  somewhere...

Where do you think that's going to be?  Don't elide the final step.  Don't allow yourself to be willfully ignorant of what Republicans plan to do and, let's be clear, are fucking doing right now.  Republicans are putting people into Concentration Camps.

Yes, yes, yes...  I know your Trump humping Uncle is going to laugh at you and chuckle, 'Hur dur dur!  TDS!!! TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME!!!'   

If the Capitol is dirty, the whole country is dirty...

This isn't just about Trump.  Doug Burgum, Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, and several other Republican low-life fascist goons gave speeches extolling their plan to round-up, rough-up, and relocate innocent people.  Fundamentally, Republicans hate America.  For the last 50 years Republicans have built a monumental self-deluding propaganda machine and now they are reaping what they have sown.  Republicans are a fully fascist organization which yearns to round-up and execute people.  There are many groups of people for whom they have a blistering white hot hatred and desire to eliminate.

Understand this is a test-run;  similar to the deployment of National Guard and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles, this will gauge reaction.  And as we saw with the reaction to "Alligator Alcatraz", the modern day Dachau (i.e. the first and originally a prisoner and political gulag), white people will celebrate the brutal mistreatment of the homeless in DC as well as the black youth Trump and Drunken Jeanine Pirro specifically called out for police brutality.  Trump also denigrated Chicago, declared he would simply end the Cash Bail Law by Imperial Fiat, attacked Governor J.B. Pritzker and hinted at his plan to enact the military occupation in Chicago, New York City, Oakland, and Baltimore .  You can expect Troops in every large Democratic city by the election next year because occupying and brutalizing and cowing large cities into obedience is the final step into Trump and the Republicans winning elections in 2026. 

Fascism is here.  Be brave if you can but don't delude yourself that it isn't happening...

Don't expect the Police (Municipal, County, or State) to come to your aid if you're targeted by this Regime.  Most Police Officers and Deputies have been champing at the bit to emulate their daddies and grand-pappies and just beat the shit out of people.  And those Police who don't want too will go along out of Fear of the Thin Blue Line or the loss of their promised pension and retirement.  And of course the NRA, Oathbreakers, Alex Jones, or Texass Governor Greg Abbot who endlessly warned about Federal Government Tyranny were simply lying because they whole-heartedly support this and much more draconian actions from Trump et al.

ICE Agents caught "TestiLying"

         If you don't know the term "testilying" you might be more familiar with the word perjury.  Well, it's not just a problem with members of the Thin Blue Line, Federal Law Enforcement under Trump just like under all Republican administrations just flat out lies;

US immigration officers made false and misleading statements in their reports about several Los Angeles protesters they arrested during the massive demonstrations that rocked the city in June, according to federal law enforcement files obtained by the Guardian.

The officers’ testimony was cited in at least five cases filed by the US Department of Justice amid the unrest. The justice department has charged at least 26 people with “assaulting” and “impeding” federal officers and other crimes during the protests over immigration raids. Prosecutors, however, have since been forced to dismiss at least eight of those felonies, many of them which relied on officers’ inaccurate reports, court records show.

The justice department has also dismissed at least three felony assault cases it brought against Angelenos accused of interfering with arrests during recent immigration raids, the documents show.

Apparently, the lies from Department of Homeland Security and ICE are so ubiquitous, so outrageous that Grand Juries are refusing to return indictments.

So, this isn't a new phenomenon.  There is a whole cottage industry which has grown up around Police Departments to specifically train officers on how to massage their reports and how to couch their testimony as to obfuscate and distort the incident and interaction with the Police in a way which makes the, usually indefensible, defensible.

You're probably aware of the euphemistic language Police Officers use in their reports, I assisted him to the ground instead of I threw him down, the suspect made furtive movements around his waistband to mean I shot the unarmed person because I thought he had a gun.

Now... don't expect Faux News or Rightwing propagandists or those staunch 2A and State's Rights advocates to call out the Federal Government because this... is... what... they... have... always... fucking... wanted...  The awesome power of the State turned against their Enemies.  All those accusations, as they say, were admissions of what Conservatives would immediately do with federal law enforcement power.

When Republicans decried Two-Tiered Justice what they meant was they believe in it, Republicans absolutely believe in the Unequal Application of Law&Order and Due Process.  The Law is meant to protect them and bind you...

Coupled with Traitor Trump's desire to have President Obama arrested to distract from Donold's multiple instances of raping children along with his best buddy Jeffrey Epstein and his plan to use the military to round-up homeless people are stick them in concentration camps, we are rapidly approaching an inflection point where Republicans will outright order many Americans executed.

Trump orders the US Government to round-up homeless people and get rid of them

        Traitor trump released another of his vomit inducing executive orders; this one aimed removing homeless people from American cities. Everyone should have known this was coming,  Trump talked openly about removing unhoused and homeless people in LA into vague camps outside the city.

Even with the expanded funding and aggressive recruiting, ICE is currently to occupied with rounding-up grandmothers and innocent people for internment into the Concentration Camps in Florida.  And local Police Departments aren't going to be able to accomplish this along with all their other day-to-day duties.

So, Trump is going to order the United States Military to accomplish this task.  A Standing Army has always been a threat to peace and liberty.  However, the deployment to Los Angeles of National Guardsmen and active-duty U.S. Marines was the 'Proof of Concept' Republicans needed to act upon Trump's Executive Order.

Let's be clear about couple of things about Trump's bullshit order;  There is no chance anything good will come of this,  Trump (and Republicans) don't want to set up a Federal assistance program to help the Unhoused.  There will not be any vast array of the social services homeless people need;  no counseling, no addiction therapy, no treatment for the mentally ill, no medications or god-forbid vaccines, no quality food program, no protection from rapacious predators.  Fucking Republicans just slashed Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.  Do you think they would ever give food, medicine and housing to "bums"?  This is designed to appeal to mean and nasty white people who look down on and are angered by the sight of homeless people.

Homelessness has always been seen as a moral failing (laziness, drug use) by the unhoused and essentially been treated as a problem of aesthetics.  City layouts and architecture was designed to discourage unhoused people from staying and the encourage the flow of bodies.  Think about all those park benches you've seen which have humps or bars in the middle to stop anyone from laying down.  Or the concrete ledges on streets angled, inclined or with impediments to accomplish the same effect.

Listen to Faux News broadcasts dehumanizing and belittling homeless people or Traitor trump's vicious slander of the homeless.

Trump himself has always had a Brutalist aesthetic towards Cities;  he wants them gleaming and sterile, devoid of humanity, just stark edifices of steel, glass, and concrete spotless and static.  Like the Nazi wonder city models he grew up idolizing before he embarked on his career as a Real Estate Tyrant using eminent domain to kick little old ladies out of their homes so he can build his gaudy Casinos.

Now, Trump has the awesome power of the entire Government at his command and willing and complaint partners in the entire Republican Party, the 6 Supreme Injustices, and a servile Corporate Media who adores him.

Much of this has been accomplished by the Two-Santa Theory as elaborated by Them Hartmann, wherein Republicans spend outrageously thus raising the Debt, while also cutting taxes on the Rich.  When Democrats regain the White House or Congress and propose a liberal agenda, Drunken Tom Boehner declares "We're Broke!" And Democrats are then called upon by the Corporate Media to be responsible and reach across the aisle and cut spending and reduce the debt.

But also by steadily lowering taxes on Corporations and the Ultra-Wealthy, Republicans have pushed the financial burden onto Middle America and the Working Class.  Trump raised my taxes during his vile first term.  This is all by design as people have felt the tax crunch they've responded with two-income households, longer working years, the so-called gig economy, get-rich quick schemes, and other methods to attempt to stay above water as Republicans try to drown them.  

This coincides with the Republicans grand plan, from Ronnie Raygun through the current vicious BBB of eliminating the merger US social safety.

Most Americans, are a bad 6 months from being homeless themselves.  Couple this with the emotional burden helping people takes to help people and you have the perfect Republican receipe for a Coarsened United States which doesn't want money to go towards the homeless at all.  But, Republicans have been teaching Americans they can not rely on help from the Government and anyway Joe Biden or Barack Obama gave all your government money to Trans athletes or 'Mexicans' from Guatemala to replace you anyway.

Most white peoples response to homelessness is either revulsion or good intended but incorrect attempts at assistance.  In both cases they invariably call 911 and expect the Police to handle the situation.  I would like to believe most Americans, who have been taught for decades now that Police are "the helpers" are calling 911 because the believe and expect Police to have a huge cache of assistance they can provide and not because they demand the Police remove the homeless from their sight.

But, this is a Nation which has tried to elect Donold Traitor Trump to the Presidency 3 times.  And now the Executive Branch has released another one of his highly propagandized Executive Orders which has been tailor-made to push the Fear & Anger buttons in the rightwing brain.

The coarsening of America has been a Republican project going on decades.  While most of the worst aspects of the Right's Agenda have come about in the last 50 years when Republicans decided after Nixon's resignation they would never put the welfare of the Nation ahead of their Party, the Reactionary framework is a counter-revolution to the New Deal and has only intensified in response to each successive Democratic Administration.

Roughly, Republicans want Americans to know they have no friend in Government (large and small) and the Federal Government specifically will never help them.  Look at the response of Homeland Security and FEMA under Kristi Noem, absolutely abandoned Texans in need, didn't bother to pick up phone cams, and declared their response the Greatest in American History.

The Republican Party response after the New Deal was to declare every Governmental function "Communism" or "Socialism" and to attack while out of office and to undermine it from within when in office.  Republicans believe their are only two legitimate uses of the Federal Government;  to quash domestic dissent at home with a robust Law Enforcement Apparatus and to use the vast Military-Industrial-Complex abroad to threaten and open up foreign markets for exploitation.  Everything else is "Unconstitutional". 

So, the coarsening of America continues.  Trump is going to order the homeless rounded up and put into refugee camps.  And the things that will happen will be a vicious evil stain on this Nation.
