Now, some have levelled blame at South Park, particularly the August 6 episode “Got A Nut”, where the character Cartman becomes a conversative commentator who debates students on colleges, mimicking Kirk’s hairstyle and mannerisms.

However, Cartman isn’t killed and Kirk reportedly thought it was funny

Has anybody told Trump that the President publicly calling for the death penalty of the suspect he just announced probably assures they guy isn’t going to get the death penalty… Hell prosecuting the case against the suspect just got a lot harder.

Sounds like Robinson was not chuffed to bits with fascists.

A short while ago, Utah governor Spencer Cox said that investigators noted inscriptions on the shooter’s gun casings.

On one of three unfired casings read “hey fascist! Catch!”, a second read “oh bella ciao” and a third one read: “If you read this, you are gay, LMAO”.

“There is an ideology that has steadily been growing in this country which hates everything that is good, righteous and beautiful and celebrates everything that is warped, twisted and depraved. It is an ideology at war with family and nature. It is envious, malicious, and soulless.”

Wow! Talk about projection! When Stephen Miller looks into the mirror, does he see nothing but the room behind him, or what?

Lone wolf, triggered by Charlie Kirk’s extremist demagoguery.

Cox added that investigators interviewed a family member of Robinson who said that he had become “more political in recent years”.

“The family member referenced a recent incident in which Robinson came to dinner prior to September 10,” Cox said. “In the conversation with another family member, Robinson mentioned Charlie Kirk was coming to UVU…the family member also stated Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate.”

That the lies get air is an indication of the corruption of our press. That Trump was elected is proof of the corruption of the church.

Coffee drinkers are facing record-breaking prices in part due to Donald Trump’s anger over the conviction of his friend, Brazilian ex-President Jair Bolsonaro. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed the consumer price for a pound of beans has soared from $7.02 in January to a new high of $8.87, marking the steepest rise this century. A perfect storm is to blame, with poor harvests in key producing countries, and Trump’s imposition of 50 percent tariffs on the world’s largest exporter, Brazil. According to the Observatory of Economic Complexity, in 2023, U.S. coffee imports stood at $7.85 billion. Almost all beans consumed came from abroad, particularly Brazil, which tended to supply around a third of the market. Per The Financial Times, imports of beans from the South American nation are down 50 percent in the year to date, and plummeted 75 percent in August. Meanwhile, major producers like Switzerland and Canada have also been affected by the president’s tariff project, while others, such as Vietnam and Colombia, haven’t been able to fill the gap.

Kash Patel’s self-aggrandizing attempt at rehabilitation is pathetic.

Closing with “see you in Valhalla“ Charlie, links him with Hegseth and all the other former Special Forces and Seals who want to create the “warrior culture.”

“Few details were immediately available about Robinson or his motives.”

They’re very busy getting him to say what they want him to say in exchange for some form of leniency, like taking capital punishment off the table. :smiling_imp:

‘You are inheriting a country where politics feels like rage’, Utah governor addresses younger generation

While addressing the press today, governor Spencer Cox addressed young people watching.

“You are inheriting a country where politics feels like rage. It feels like rage is the only option,” he said. “Words are not violence. Violence is violence.”

:backhand_index_pointing_right:Notably, Cox did not mention anything about the prevalence of gun violence that younger generations face throughout the country.

“I want you to look at how Utahns reacted the last two nights. There was no rioting, there’s no looting, there were no cars set on fire. There’s no violence,” Cox added.
