Another political assassination. Can people just stop killing people over political disagreements?

That is no call for violence. 

That is a call that the violence must stop. And we will stand up to it.   
A large group of people who celebrated a murder are losing their jobs right now.   A disturbing number of teachers and professors, gov workers among them.     People celebrating murder should not be teaching children or college students.  

We all need to stand up to the violence. 

Naturally, Trumpeedo is doing everything he can to unify the country! Just take a look at one of his recent comments:

"We have radical left lunatics out there and we just have to beat the hell out of them."

As we all know, in Trump’s world, the "radical left" includes pretty much anyone to the left of him

Glad to see you again! 

Whenever Democrats talk the way Trump does they get accused of fomenting violence. Or, like when Governor Newsom made posts imitating Trump's style, right-wing media made a big deal out of how unbecoming it was for an elected official. The lack of self-awareness is mind boggling. 

Thanks! I stopped posting a couple of months ago after someone made an abhorrent comment about Gaza, saying that Israel was “being too nice”. Until this individual is removed, I’m not going to hang around here too often.

Both sides show a lack of awareness, but it is more pronounced on the far right, led by the person who should be setting an example.

He was not talking about politicians. 
Listen in context.   He was talking about the violent lunatics.   And being brave for even being outside taking questions.  And if you listen to the rest of the questions/answers, tells people to respond nonviolently. 

“We have to be brave in life, in all fairness, we have a life. I probably shouldn’t be out here talking to you in all fairness but we will be brave. And we have a great country. We have radical-Left lunatics out there and we just have to beat the hell out of them."

I see you've replied to me, but I haven't read the body of your text.  To be clear, I no longer read anything you post. I'm not interested in your worldview, so don't waste your time responding to my comments - I'll just skip them.

I reply to any post I feel. Just as you do/can.   
I do not plan to stop that anytime soon. 

I suppose you think the January 6th participants weren't radical right lunatics.  It is absolutely disgusting that they were all pardoned.  So much for Trump being in favor of law and order.  

Some were and some were not. Those that were violent belong in prison.  Those who were not do not.  They all deserved a trial to decide that....but after years many were still just in prison without trial. That is unconstitutional and Trump remedied that.

Your link goes back to 2021.  I found the following on Wikipedia which is more current and which would indicate that none of the J6 defendants are currently being held in jail unless it's for a subsequent offense:

"In November 2024, Trump was elected president, having repeatedly vowed during his campaign to pardon the rioters.^[19] Upon his inauguration on January 20, 2025, he did so, erasing the convictions of all but 14 of about 1,270 people. The remaining 14 people, though their convictions stood, were eligible for immediate release from prison, as he commuted their sentences to "time served."^[20][4] Trump himself had been indicted in August 2023 for his actions related to the Capitol attack, but the indictment was dismissed after his 2024 election."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_proceedings_in_the_January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack

I was pointing out the reasons that anybody might be still in jail awaiting trial. These few were the most violent or considered to have committed treason. The were not grandmas who got caught up in the crowd and trespassed, or moms and dads waving stop the steal signs.

No one should still be in prison for years without a trial. That is unconstitutional.  

No one is still in prison from the J6 insurrection.

I agree the name calling is beneath the office of the President.   
But that is the political world we are in and have been for a long time. Trump is not the first President to call his opponents names.  Just the first Republican to  do it and not back down. President Biden called me names, President Obama called me names. So as I said that is the world we are in. (Bush's and Clinton likely as well)

The "racial lunitics" are the violent people trying/succeeding in assassination plots. I personally don't have a problem with that term for them.  (Left or right) 

Yeah, I get it about name calling. I do find that President Trump does it a lot more often than others. That's my impression at least.
And I've heard trump call people lunatics that are not involved in assassination plots.

In general I find it ironic that we as adults discourage children from calling other people names.
Be Well. :)

Yeah his compassion really shined in that second video. He only called Walz a whack job a couple of times – if he wasn't in such deep mourning he would of called Walz a whack job 20 or 30X.

I don’t think Trump cares about the shooting – he just cares that it is a good distraction and a good way to brew hatred. Cheers!

Trump actually did call Walz after the school shooting, so I don't know what changed. Could it be his supporters wouldn't want him to care if Democrat politicians were shot, but some of them care about children? 

It was a political assassination. That is according to the police and the Gov of UT.  It was not random. It was planned. It was because Kirk was effective with young people.  And the rhetoric used by the left media/politicians.  When they say daily: He is Hitler, his supporters are NAZIs, white supremists, bigots, a threat to democracy etc etc is should not be a surprise that one or more of their supporters decide to "save the democracy." 

This man was one of the most peaceful, he went to colleges and just talked to the students, he let the people with a different opinion speak their side and then he would say his etc. And they killed him for it. Because he was effective....

I remember a week or so after Nancy Pelosi’s husband was viciously beaten with a hammer Trump sarcastically said – I wonder how Nancy’s husband is doing. Then he went on a 5 minute rant about how awful she is. Cheers and happy weekend!

How long will it take Trump to get over the loss of the man he said was like a sun to him?

He could of at least took the time to say he wished that Charlie would of been around to see his new ballroom. Maybe if Trump is asked to say a few words at Kirk’s funeral Trump will say that Kirk loved golf then he will brag that he just golfed a perfect game. Cheers and happy weekend!
