Guys, Lake Travis and Grapevine-Colleyville are possibly the rich-white-suburbiest places on the planet. If they’re kicking maga turds out of their school boards, something is going ON. People have fucking had it.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Hegseth: "A few months ago I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Well, today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors ... you kill people and break things for a living."

The Dallas ICE shooter sounds like the Charlie Kirk shooter, the (unsuccessful) Trump PA rally shooter, and Luigi the healthcare CEO shooter, in that all are very online young men, whose politics seem more angry, muddled, meme-drenched anti-establishment than falling along clear left-right lines.

An important read about the background and possible motivation of the ICE shooter. His friends describe him as an extremely online edge lord, with no strong political leanings. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-ice-sh...

If anyone is "celebrating" Kirk's death, it's Trump and his people. They are already using it as pretext for achieving their goal of stripping people's rights, crushing dissent. Your opinion about Kirk could be a criminal offense. If you don't want to run afoul of the law, change your opinion.

Trump was angry that Charlie Kirk dared to call out the Epstein files. He was angry that Charlie dared to question the cowardly and inappropriate attack on the Venezuelan speedboat. Did Trump decide shooting Charlie would be a great distraction from these issues? The shooter probably won’t be found.

Trump after Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were assassinated: "I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out. I'm not calling him," Trump said. "Why would I call him? Uh, the guy doesn't have a clue. He's a mess. I could be nice and call, but why waste time?"
