Against my better judgment, I read this article. No idea who David Marcus is, but he's painfully stupid. Apparently what makes these "wine moms" criminal is their "obnoxious smugness" and "disturbing glee." It's so bad, Marcus claims, it might even be "a conspiracy."

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

this was also consensus opinion for center-right types after george floyd’s murder five years ago. the state media apparatus will be working overtime the next few weeks to reprogram them
Really worth watching this interview with a bystander who witnessed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "I'm pretty right-leaning. But seeing this, this is not how we're supposed to be doing things in America.”

Trump’s Selective Memory: “Not Familiar” With Assassinated Democratic Lawmaker While Raging About “Left-wing Violence”
Donald Trump's response to political violence this week reveals something more sinister than mere hypocrisy—it's the deliberate construction of a false reality where only certain victims matter and only certain perpetrators exist. After days of raging about "left-wing violence" following Charlie Kirk's shooting, Trump was asked about Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated by a Trump supporter just months ago.

Yes, the same Clay Higgins who just two years ago co-sponsored the "Protecting Speech from Government Interference Act"—a performative bill that did literally nothing except restate that government actors cannot engage in censorship.

When tossed an absolute softball opportunity to demonstrate that he is, in fact, a human and not a ghoulish shithead, Trump’s response is “Meh. Anyway, look over there at the self-aggrandizing project I started because I am very insecure about my penis.”
Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.
