If Sandy Hook was not enough, nothing would be enough.

Kids are fair game to them, but a cult member is off limits.

We have been saying that for years. The money in politics is what is sick and the people making the laws are all paid off - so what do you suggest?

Anyone who saw the Charlie Kirk assassination video felt a gut-punch & a shock. Imagine if there were cameras in classrooms. IMAGINE if you saw DOZENS of small children getting ripped apart, screaming panic knowing they may be next, trembling with fear before being blasted AT POINT BLANK RANGE!

On Jan. 5, 2024, during a presidential campaign speech delivered in Sioux Center, Iowa, former U.S. President Donald Trump said of the previous day's school shooting in Perry, Iowa, "We have to get over it."

Charlie Kirk advocated for the death of other human beings bc they were different than he was. Actually. But you "understand people looking up to" Charlie Kirk "politically"? Wtf are you talking about?

A majority of voters support this, but the far-right billionaires who own nearly all the forms of media suppress it

Agreed. My major issue though is the term “politically” Politics used to be about taxes, social programs, the economy, health &infrastructure, and the govts role in that. One party has been corrupted by racism, sexism, homophobia and extreme religious beliefs as their platform. That’s not politics.

I said that yesterday. When it comes to children being gunned down in school it's nothing but crickets and then they move on.

You can't squeeze blood from a turnip nor can you find love and compassion in a heart of the wicked.

We should all agree…but Kirk himself said gun deaths were a price worth paying for the second amendment. He likely didn’t think he would be one of them.

Now would be the time to enter a resolution

Ditto

Epstein files

The far right has been calling for the death/rejection of empathy, while glorifying guns above all else, including Charlie Kirk himself. Is it really all that surprising when those on the right refuse to have empathy and do something about guns when guns are a pillar of their entire movement?

NONE of this bvllsh1t would be going down if there wasn’t money to be made from it.

if nothing happened after sandy hook, nothing will ever happen unless democrats control everything in large numbers

I mean, 2 children/teenagers were literally almost murdered at school when it happened.

How do we get Republicans, who have been brainwashed by their party for decades to hate liberals, people of color, rule of law, equality, and democracy, to get along with the rest of America?

Please stop saying Charlie Kirk was political. Hate is not political. Demeaning everyone not like you is not political. Lying about an election is not political. Everything he did was about him not others.

Wouldn’t that be wonderful! Won’t happen until we get them money out of politics!

Yes but that anguish never translated into gun control or empathy to victims of gun violence, even children. They are not being hypocritical in this matter. It's always been business as usual which is fomenting more violence.

Totally on board with this.

You're so close to getting it.

End the US and start over? I would like to see the military restore the Constitution. #NewElections #ConstitutionalConvention

Truly sick that they will abuse this opportunity to inflict pain and suffering on the poor! So sick and disturbing. The poor and wretched must now organize and rise up. #wretchedPride #poorpride My mom was an unaccompanied minor and came from Mexico undocumented at 16 years old. I am proud of her!

Maybe that’s the one thing everyone can get behind. I guess we’ll see….

Adam, one person got them donations raining down upon them like Niagara Falls The kids just take up money spent See the difference?

Hate and prejudice are only ok when the right does it apparently

I’ve said for a long time that pictures should be posted of the school shooting massacres. Blue out the faces bit show the carnage

We all do agree with respect to children, generally speaking. That's why we don't talk about it. There's nothing there to sustain an argument. There's more dissonance over an adult with views people variously support or condemn, and that discord keeps people talking about it.

I think this is a bit of "cheap talk, @adamkinzinger.substack.com. The other side (your former colleagues) will never accept the necessity of gun control, preferring instead to deflect and talk about personal responsibility. Their 2nd amendment absolutism would shock earlier Supreme Courts.

if it starts from the top, you can forget about us all agreeing. 47 has made it clear that he will use this to further pound in the wedge to divide us. Doesn't matter that a dude on the extreme right killed a dude on the extreme right. To Trump, it's all his messaging, and his base and GOP follow

"none"? Don't their ever powerful "thoughts and prayers"™️ count?

Now it's a tragedy? Now it's so sad to see?

Usually, you look up to someone in office or seeking to gain office for your cause not for someone out there to make money

That’s what the rest of the world can’t understand either… why are these children and their deaths forgotten so quickly…

You realize now, the narrative will be his family disowning him as a lefty, and everyone he ever knew doing the same, as a MAGA on MAGA crime doesnt fit the narrative

Too late now school shootings have become $1 billion business. Just like immigration has become billion dollar businesses, private people who profit through such misery. Republicans created this monster for a reason.

It’s the pentagon threatening people about posts that’s really bothering me currently, as it’s very clearly partisan. People are losing their jobs over this both in the federal and private sector…did that happen when actual government officials were shot in Minnesota?

Step number one, like with so many issues in the US, is stop electing republicans.

The process in US since the introduction of guns is not going to end unless the process is put on the nation in a sabbatical way Not the forced Project 2025 & ruin US economy & other countries using tariffs to justify it globally The US is now isolated in these issues Wealthy & DT forefront causing

Really? You mean calling the children actors after sandy hook isn't something to be proud of? There is absolutely zero moral compass.

Because it’s all a game to them. They don’t really care about anything except hurting the other side and staying in power.

you were in office during Sandy Hook and countless other tragedies. You know the reason your former doesn’t do anything is because they prefer the money they get from groups like NRA over saving lives.

Nothing spells the fall of education in America as looking up to a featherweight intellect like Charlie Kirk. He was a grifter troll hacking anger engagement algorithms in a clicks for cash arrangement with billionaire social media overlords.

You have to fight to get rid of this Putin puppet Pedophilie rapist 34 times convicted felon ..!! And this criminal network .. from Thiel to Koch bro .. from Zucker to Google .. It’s a network

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN / TRUMP FILES❗

We have always struggled moving toward a more perfect union. I'm 69. The fetishizing of long guns, the hateful speech online, disrespect of each of us as human beings, is out of control. Healthy debate is lost. It all needs to stop.

MAGA/GOP doesn't want it to end. They are fomenting this. They are just whiney asses when it's one of their own that dies. Others are price of 2A No-one should die for exercising their 1A rights, IDT that the MAGA/GOP feels that way though. They only think they & theirs shouldn't worry about dyeing.

Does three whitewashing of Charlie Kirk's record of hate bother you?

YOUR party insights violence everyday. YOUR party is lying right now all over media. Why don't YOU go on fox news and talk to YOUR party that YOU choose to affiliate with and tell them to their face how immoral all of them are? You vote the same as trump,ted Cruz, rand paul and Mike Lee. Grow up.

Trump ignored the Melissa Hartman murder, but when a human pile of shit like Kirk gets what he deseves, he becomes a martyr, with his body lying in state, a national day of mouring, possibly a statue. Shows exactly how divided the country is, and how different both parties plans are to lead us.

Narcissistic behavior- they care only about themselves. And they refuse to believe their own side has deadly infighting. Many sides to the Republican Party, most of them bad.

You are still not seeing them. Look closer

I wished that was a consensus among everyone regardless of their political ideology, but I opine that isn’t going to happen. We live in a brainwashed society. So many people want to have the power to kill other people…with military grade weapons in their possession.

Clearly. We can’t sanitize him.

The person they looked up to politically looked at school shootings as evidence of liberty. So . . . no, I don't think they agree it should all end. To judge by his widow's response, she wants to treat this as the beginning of real violence.

I think young Victor, who shielded his classmate while getting shot in the back, deserves the Medal of Freedom.

I cannot understand following someone who claims to be Christian, who runs a scheme for fame and fortune that is a diabolical attack on everything this country stands for. We may have the most ignorant and morally bankrupt electorate in America history. Charlie got what Charlie advocated.

Crazy that people are being fired for stating their feelings about Charlie Kirk’s death. He was a private citizen, social media influencer: not a member of Congress,Senator or a state politician. We are expected to canonize him and white wash his ideology. Freedom of speech for me but not for thee

“Kirk’s Watchlist has terrorized legions of professors across this country. Women, Black faculty, queer scholars, basically anyone who challenged white supremacy, gun culture, or Christian nationalism suddenly found themselves targets of coordinated abuse,” Patton wrote.

🎯 thoughts and prayers

He sacrificed his life at the altar of the 2A.... I guarantee that very soon you'll have to show a MAGA membership card to buy a gun ...

This is what grooming killers looks like.

Every life is a precious one. We need to remember that. Instead of letting ourselves be divided by labels like 'liberal' or 'conservative,' let's choose to come together with compassion and a shared respect for human life. #MelissaHortman #markhortman #charliekirk #saytheirnamestogether

I’m sure there will be a newly anointed Christian white nationalist to fill his racist shoes. Is David duke still a live to debate why the white man is superior to all of us substandard humans.

Slaughtered children don't send envelopes of cash to politicians, the NRA does.

Anguish? Seriously?

Distressing words from the widow re: …standing on his right side with the martyr’s crown… or words to that effect seemed unnecessarily rehearsed and overly dramatic like this entire episode toward the dark side. Keep talking truth!

You're correct on the second part but looking up to someone like that politically just makes you a giant piece of shit, which explains why they don't care about the kids getting killed in school. They especially don't care about the most recent school shooting and I bet you can figure out why.

Want a big laugh on a Saturday afternoon? Go read the cat food campaign Call To Action! hahahaha Love me some Binxy baby! 🐈‍⬛💓 Too much fun! MEOW! gofund.me/9d371159e

Where were they when the Minnesota lawmakers were murdered, where were they with the attempted assassination of Governor Shapiro??

LOSER, Traitor, you dont care about noone but yourself SIT THE FUCK DOWN

Nah, they are just looking for an excuse to create violence towards the left. Silence the left and carry on with their white nationalist agenda. I would bet everyone here agrees with your statement. Not so much over on the hell site though.

Completely agree but sadly there are too many angry Republicans who believe every single word that Donald Trump says even though most of them are lies!

This. And it makes me sick that a hatemonger gets special glory..flags at half mast...capital rotunda...why? My husband didn't even know who he was...same as many other people. And the GOP won't even put up a *plaque* for LEOs killed on J6! Who were courageously keeping *Congress* safe!

Kinzinger voted against an assault weapons ban as recently as 2022. He also voted no several times on expanding background checks.

Anguish from events is a bitch but it doesn't justify doxxing, calling workplaces, and threatening to kill others because they said Charlie Kirk did one bad thing.

The schoolkids failed to get attention since they did not have podcasts

Our country needs a new name to represent what we’ve become to the world: I’ll start: Gilead Not very original but incredibly fitting.

Charlie got exactly what he preached

On the other site, I'm seeing the "anguish" quite tempered now that they can't use their "grief" to hate every Democrat. It's truly a deep sickness in the minds of so many Americans. I hope all the, anxious to kill lefties, MAGA on X were foreign trolls and not anyone calling themselves American.

This kind of anger, news coverage, etc, did not happen when Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered.

American Civil War has never ended.

The top song on iTunes is called Charlie. I wanted to puke when I saw that.

Dude was a groyper Radicalized by video games, Discord, Nick Fuentes www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy...

Get your kids outside. Interact with them. Look at what they’re doing online.

When a fellow gun worshipper gets gunned down, well that’s an assault on the community of gun worshippers. — Gun worshippers view themselves as immune (because they have guns) and everyone else as collateral damage (because they don’t have guns).

The party of “family values” doesn’t care when parents lose their children to school shootings. Republican politicians only care when gun violence takes someone who helps them politically.

Wonder how many GOP are gonna raise holy hell now?

So now cause he was shot and killed we should start thinking more about children getting killed? That's a gag me with a spoon thought. Should had taken guns away from looney ppl long ago.

What sits wrong with me is my family members posting they are "heartbroken" over the shooting death of Charlie Kirk but have never posted tears for schoolchildren gunned down in school.

I will never understand the lack of concern from some about the mass murders of our children and much of the acceptance of that from corporate media. I have yet to hear a single word from our President about the Colorado shooting. Disgusting.

Yeah… but he was also an unacceptable person to look up to politically.

Nor did we see it for….

How can it all end when the president and Stephen Miller are ranting about how they will use the state to go after the left. Some civility needs to start at the top and these two, I'm afraid they will not be able to do that.

... These are the twisted moral values of Christian Nationalist from your Republican friends ...

I don't give a shit about the anguish of moral degenerate Republicans who idolized Charlie Kirk. Just as I would not have given a shit in 1945 about the anguish of Germans who idolized Adolf Hitler.

Because it's not their children. It's as simple as that. Maybe if somebody told them one of those kids could have grown up to be another Charlie Kirk, they'd care a bit, but not enough to do something about the guns that killed them.

Also when adults are murdered

America needs gun control like the rest of the civilized world.

Or Democrats.

Craazy his death has more outrage than a sandy hook. It is the guns first. It is the parents next. And the online grooming

Let’s end the more obvious wrongs, like a genocide in Palestine and welfare support of Israel. If we can’t steer out of the above moral cesspool, our demise here is inevitable.

Thoughts and prayers for Charlie Kirk.

Real question … As a Congressman, what did you do or say after Sandy Hook?

I hear you but cons don't cheer the deaths of those children either. There's a deep depravity to that.
