The shirt has been identified: it says, “Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.”

Supposedly the airports & bus station weren’t closed off. This guy can be anywhere.

Apparently authorities are *just now taping off the crime scene. Good lord.

Thank you.

HT I’m not fighting with you. God bless & I sincerely hope you have a good day.

Have they identified the actual gun make beyond the bolt action type?

Oswald used a bolt action, right? The Manlicher carbine.

James Talarico. - I linked it differently this time.

Odd, I just tried it again, it works.

Thank you.

God Bless America.

Please take a moment to watch & absorb this. TIA. - Ee might have a shot at a healing moment in this country if we grab for it.

An observation: there is a vast difference between the tone of those now lionizing Kirk & how Kirk conducted himself in debates. It would be nice to see those so lauding him also follow his example.

LSU used to have something called Free Speech Alley. In particular David Duke first became known by debating there in full Nazi uniform. But no one hurt each other. Other schools like UT have also had such a tradition. Nothing wrong with what Kirk was doing, but recently he was essentially a campaigner, organizer & fundraiser. Basically a campaign consultant & political activist with a youth niche & he was very valuable even instrumental to the 2024 win.

Actual normal question. No doubt it will continue, I think Kirk had a few big positives: he was a very good public speaker, he genuinely enjoyed debate with people of opposing viewpoints, but most importantly he was a true autodidact. He was very well read & self educated. Kirk had some serious hatred from the extreme right for those reasons. If the outcome of all this is the GOP wants to return to its roots in this way it would be fine.

Thank you, actual information.

Sadly it’s a long list. The MN state legislators, Paul Pelosi, Whitmer, 1/6/21, Thompson. Heck the kid in Butler was a Republican. Roof, Pittsburgh, Giffords. I am not just listing right wing actors, point is there are countless ways the left & right can go after each other on this stuff. It’s literally filled pages. Political violence is wrong. Too much talking about it in an idealized fashion (X should be hung/drawn/quartered) too. WE STILL HAVE NO SUSPECT OR MOTIVE.

Good summary of the (horrific) contents of the Epstein birthday book.

Just out of curiosity what is your view of the picture & inscription in the book suggesting Epstein gave (sold) a girl to Trump? (WSJ). Open question to any as well. There hasn’t been much discussion of this second reference to Trump in the birthday book.

Bloomberg has obtained a set of 18K of Epstein’s emails: - This post dates the Trump-Epstein friendship but it does contain a cryptic list of 51 wealthy or powerful people which Trump was on. It’s uncertain what the list was for. It was roughly from around the time Epstein was being investigated. - There’s a lot of detail in this piece. As a reminder this man was a monster way beyond the political tilting that goes on.

And Trump’s niece has shown a note from Trump from 2017 with his signature. It’s the same.

You’re not really Republican (or republican) at all.

I might be more conservative than you, you have no idea. Dowd may have been too. I do think it’s relevant because of all the supposition about the political undercurrent as a cause of this. I really don’t want to debate it, frankly.

Just a reminder: - The killer is ~9 hours out without being caught. The FBI has severely curtailed its domestic terrorism investigation capacities. It’s eliminated its domestic terrorism unit & placed someone with zero policing / LE experience over what’s left. Please all look up Thomas Fugare III to see who the administration has put in charge of this area of expertise at the FBI. - We do not know who did it. - We do know he was wearing black body armor. & We know he has the skills & resources to evade every law agency in the land. - We do not know this person’s motive. - We do not know if he was acting alone. - We don’t even know if he was an American.

Maybe it would’ve helped if it had been mentioned Kirk was in favor of releasing everything.
