    weird how he has been ranting non stop about “radical leftist” judges and their huge conspiracy, and they need to purge them… and then some supporter goes and attacks a judge.
    ….
    kinda exactly like stochastic terrorism and not too hard to prove in court

    How is this not bigger news!

    I have to listen to weeks about some random podcaster getting shot, but a judge whose made judgements against trump has their house burned down and everyone is all quite?

        Shhhh with your logical thinking, we need to jump to conclusions and start blaming each other before learning any facts.

          I understand what you mean, but my criticism is with the news/reporting.

          Weve had multiple democratic politicians be attacked and murdered whose whole time in the spotlight doesn’t cover the media attention that Kirk got.

          Hell, we still don’t really know why Kirk was shot.

          In this political climate, a judge’s house going up in flames should be a huge story. Sure it could end up being nothing, but so did the story with Kirk.

        MAGAs always start blaming Libz immediately, we can do the same thing. The thing is, we’re probably going to be right, it’s almost ALWAYS a right-wing whacko.

      To be fair, Kirk’s murder was graphic and in a public event. He was a pretty-well known figure, whereas most people don’t know who this specific judge is. The arson didn’t happen in a packed crowd in broad daylight.

      This probably should be bigger news, but is makes sense why it isn’t as widely talked about

      He’s 43, but he already looks like he’s in his 60s. I think he’s well on his way.

        He’s an unlikable piece of shit but he definitely doesn’t look old.

        Just bald, weak, and angry.

        As much as I wish I could agree, I think he looks more like Patrick Stewart at around the same age (maybe less sunscreen). I mean in a health sense, not in actual attractiveness. Hair loss can happen as early as your 20s if you’re a male.

        If his face wasn’t lifeless and hateful he’d look younger even with the baldness. His skin isn’t wrinkly but his withered soul makes him look half dead.

        Because this convention was in the aftermath of Jan 6, and they were scrambling to both normalize insurrection attempts as well as “own the libs.” From that perspective it was a perfect theme. We should ensure the moniker sticks.

          Which is why I always say that MAGA will ultimately be destroyed by their own virtuosic incompetence. It’s almost inevitable, they are just too stupid and ignorant to succeed. An eventual fatal fuck up is inevitable.

          This is a perfect example. When they should have been running as fast as possible in the opposite direction, they actually thought it was a good idea to double down, and embrace domestic terrorism in the wake of their treasonous insurrection.

          In the future, when the PROGRESSIVE Dems take back America, this photo will be a major piece of evidence in establishing MAGA as a treasonous, racist, terrorist hate group. They can’t blame this on Libz, this is their own doing. They freely admitted it, and promoted to America and the World. No walking that one back.

          That will allow MAGA to be dismantled, abolished, and prohibited.

            I hope you’re right. Repugs could easily succumb to their own stupidity, sure. But it’s a tall task ahead for progressives.

            They not only have to beat the corporate dems who presently run the party and also rig the primaries to remain in control, but then they have to go on to beat republicans rigging national elections. All while the corporate media is demagoguing them like it’s the red scare 2.0. With enough people behind them, it can happen, but how to break through to such a downtrodden and heavily propagandized people?

      PeeWee Himmler imagines himself to be a Hitler-style orator, so he melts down all the time, and it’s hilarious. Check out this recent one where he addressed cops going into Memphis.

      https://youtu.be/IZKBuqdBy5Y

      The whole thing is funny, but the end when he starts convincing himself that they are “ruthless” and “hardcore” is hilarious. He is the absolute archetype of the smarmy coward trying to act tough, and fooling NOBODY. You just know that if he took one punch to the face, he’d collapse like a sack of potatoes, and start crying and begging for mercy.

    Got a week ban from Reddit for saying this guy deserves a swirly. Apparently the threshold for what constitutes as violent rhetoric is super low for these snowflakes.

      Reddit got sold to the corpos. It’s a publicly traded company now. That means propaganda is now one of their biggest revenue sources in all likelihood.

    Wait, this isn’t like when the Nazis opened the Ark at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark? Oh well.
