From what I observed, he didn't even utter anything remotely outrageous.

All for merely pointing out that the "MAGA gang" were attempting to score political points by portraying Mr Robinson as "anything other than them," which, at the time, was entirely factual, especially before the suspect had even been identified, let alone apprehended.

Meanwhile, Trump can openly call for heightened hostility, revenge, and tar the entire left wing of politics with it, and that's considered acceptable.

But anyone else who fails to perform the required ritual of mourning a racist, sexist, anti-LGBTQ bigot, who died under circumstances he deemed an acceptable cost for children in the name of the Second Amendment, is suddenly beyond the pale?

What in the actual hell..!?

It is crazy how every warning about what would happen to the US if Trump won is coming true. Things even I thought were a bit of an exaggeration.

I'm not shocked at all.

And things are gonna get a lot worse.

I still say the chances of a general election in 2028 are very low.

Oh, the 2028 election will still happen but the Republicans will have done everything they can possibly do to skew it in their favour. We are already seeing this with their redistricting in Texas. Then there's the vague responses from Republicans about Trump and a third term, despite it being unconstitutional.

It is funny, though. Prior to the 2024 election, Trump was basically screaming from the rooftops how corrupt the election process was, how it was rigged against him and basically doing everything he possibly could to undermine confidence in the entire voting process from start to finish. Then he won. Suddenly it was a beautiful election without a hint of rigging or corruption or anything like that. Wow!

The midterms will be the canary.

I don't think he's going to be able to gerrymander his way out of losing one, if not both houses, so we'll see if a vote is even allowed or if some emergency powers get used to justify not having the election at all.

Yep.

He'll see what works and what doesn't.

Come 2028, there'll be more military on the streets intimidating potential voters, and also some sort of declaration of "war".

I genuinely hope I'm wrong on this, because I've never wanted to be wrong about something more. But I said earlier, the second Trump administration is shaping up exactly as everyone warned it would, right down to the ominous hints about a third term or refusing to relinquish power, assuming he's even still alive by then.

I'm exhausted by all these "unprecedented times". I don't want any more history-making moments, I just want the dull safety of normality. I'm sick of stumbling from one crisis straight into the next.

I hope I'm wrong too, but I just don't see any possibility of Trump stepping down.

Why the hell would he build a ballroom at the White House if he's only going to be there for another three years?

He never does anything for other people - ever.

While we don't know exactly what he'll do, we know this for sure: there will not be a peaceful transition to a Democrat President in 2029.

100% guarantee, take it to the bank.

The left never pulled this stunt. I'm curious to see how this overreach gets spun into some tortured justification.

So much for free speech.

And of course, no surprise at all that they're hypocrites. These are the same people who championed a bakery's "right" to refuse a gay wedding cake, yet now demand a business be shut down for declining to print Kirk posters for a customer, going so far as to insist an employee be sacked.

At this stage the right ought to just own their hypocrisy, because they're never going to change.

No backbone. No conviction. Just whatever hollow position best suits them at the time.

The only hypocrites are people like you who started this cancel culture then whinge when it comes back to bite you on the arse.

Jimmy Kimmel did not make a “joke.”

Jimmy Kimmel went on air and told the ABC audience that Charlie Kirk’s assassin was a MAGA conservative, effectively blaming Charlie Kirk for his own assassination.
Then he accusing the right of covering it up to “score political points.”
All of these statements are false and malicious lies

Broadcasters are regulated by the FCC they can't deliberately spread bullshit there are consequences for doing that as Jimmy found out.

It's bullshit to claim no motive was known when Tyler was arrested 33 hours after he did it and Utah governor told media he was a radical leftist.
You chose to ignore the governor because it didn't fit with your bullshit narrative.

From page 7 of court document Guardian posted
Quote:

Robinson’s mother explained that over the last year or so, Robinson had become morepolitical and had started to lean more to the left – becoming more pro-gay and trans-rightsoriented. She stated that Robinson began to date his roommate, a biological male who wastransitioning genders. This resulted in several discussions with family members, but especially between Robinson and his father, who have very different political views

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/16/charlie-kirk-shooter-charged

His father is MAGA you have accepted that so what would be very different to MAGA?

Kimmel got fired because he was caught spreading deliberate misinformation by FCC which broadcasters can't do because FCC regulates them.
Your free speech stuff is bullshit it's FCC regulations with truth that got him fired.

The 2028 presidential election will still happen. But as I said, Trump will order Republican governors around the country to do everything they can to make it harder for Democrats to not only win, but to vote at all. Things like voter ID laws, which heavily favour Republicans. Things like redistricting, which will heavily favour Republicans. Laws about postal votes and pre-poll voting will be skewed to heavily favour Republicans. This isn't new - this is all stuff Trump has been talking about for years and/or Republican governors are already doing, or have already done.

The unknown quantity is Trump running for a third term, which is unconstitutional. I think he is currently getting as much advice on how he can do that, how to bend the law and the Constitution or perhaps even re-write laws about this. I know for sure that he very much wants to be President for a third term - you can see it in his actions every day. He's gotten a taste of pretty much unrestrained power in his second term and he loves it and doesn't want to lose it.

Exactly.

He told the truth.

Where's the harm in that?
