Trump, with literally no introspection, blames the left for 'hateful rhetoric'.

Also, anyone notice Russia sending drones into Poland? It's amazing that they're still trying to convince Putin to talk peace, he's taking the piss out of the world.

Bang on.

See previous page. Putin giving Trump the middle finger and seeing just how far he can push TACO and Europe.

Expecting Trump to have any introspection is like expecting Jesus Christ to turn up tomorrow lunchtime.

Today, news broke that Charlie Kirk was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University.

Let me be blunt: I will not pretend to feel sorry for Charlie Kirk. For years, he has profited off division, peddled conspiracy theories, and targeted marginalized groups with rhetoric so toxic it has made this country less safe. He has called for public executions, mocked trans people as “abominations,” treated politics like a holy war — and in 2023, he even said that gun deaths were an “unfortunate” but acceptable price to keep the Second Amendment.

Today, he became part of the very toll he once dismissed. That doesn’t make him a martyr — it makes him a cautionary tale about what happens when leaders treat human lives as expendable.

That doesn’t mean I condone what happened. Political violence is wrong — always. It poisons our democracy, no matter who the target is. If we go down that path, America as we know it collapses.

But here’s the truth: when you spend years throwing gasoline on the fire, you don’t get to act shocked when flames break out. Charlie Kirk built a career out of incitement. He’s not a victim of political violence so much as he is one of its architects.

This is a reminder that words have consequences. Leaders — real leaders — should be lowering the temperature, not raising it. They should be uniting people around solutions, not cashing in on fear and hate.

I ran for Congress because I’m sick of this cycle — sick of watching extremists on the right and performative purists on the left treat America like their personal stage show while working-class families get crushed. Enough.

Violence is not the answer. But neither is pretending that Charlie Kirk is some innocent casualty. He chose this path. He pushed this rhetoric. And now we’re all living in the world it created.

The sentiment above is a logical assessment of the situation. In turn that's why everyone involved in this debate culture needs to do better. Unfortunately each side has a rabid selection vilifying anyone with different opinions or way of life. The left have their own Charlie Kirk's and they claim to be telling the truth. I'm pretty sure that Andrea Junker is a bot. Vile account. Brian Tyler Cohen gets fact checked and is a clown. His no BS claim is BS.


You see someone like John McCain who would immediately shut down insightful questions about the other side. He'd always say it was about working together.

Those responsible for education would never wants schools to start peaceful debating skills at a young age. They wouldn't want them speaking civilly. Not to mention the number of households that preach intolerance too.

Russia has lit a fuse because sending drones into the territory of a NATO member is an attack on Polish sovereignty...

So what did Poland do?

It triggered NATO Article 4 but Article 4 is nothing more than a mealy-mouthed procrastination talk-fest meeting of the North Atlantic Council.....

Russia is provoking the far more serious collective defence of Article 5.

Quite soon it will have to be action, not words, from NATO. Trump will have to decide which side he is on.

n. In turn that's why everyone involved in this debate culture needs to do better.

What one side saying no more guns and the other saying deaths of kids are necessary to protect the 2nd amendment?

The mental gymnastics of maga losing their shit at Kirk's own words about gun violence when used back at him. What was that about facts don't care about your feelings?

 

[JS96]

Well the latter is rubbish and gun reform has always been needed. I'm pretty sure half way arrangements that allow hunters and a much more stringent system of checks has been agreed with by stable people. The USA will never get to the gun law levels of, say, Switzerland.

I don't know who any of these people are but agree with the sentiment...

The irony that he himself was shot. Maybe he once said he knew he could be a target. With that kind of platform there'll always be at least one person out there. So perhaps the next generation can be educated and taught in debate class that facts don't care about your feelings and you can certainly debate, win and concede with grace and dignity.

Turkey has been involved in countless Article 5 violations, latest as recently as last week when they failed to acknowledge Athens Air Space commands claiming they "had advised NATO and don't need to speak to anyone in Greece" ... but nothing EVER gets actioned.

It was certainly inevitable. That's the smugness of these types though. See???? Of course if someone on the other side was shot we enter the screeching of dictatorship and 'they're killing us'. I appreciate that a lot of leaders from all sides have strongly condemned this the right way. These filth commentators, what a job, lie of clicks and vile. That's their model. I suppose newspapers needed that in the past to be bought of the stand and today in the digital era it's all about clicks and traffic and it's absolute shit.

Turkey is the weirdest NATO member. I remember that Russia incident years back and the two leaders just said 'we'll have a chat, no need to do anything else.'

100% its all divide and conquer bullshit.....

It's a special type of gaslighting when each side preach unity, in the hope of having a higher vote total, but to also pit sides against each other in the hope they'll control all. It's more complicated but are the Democrats that inept that all they need is a new generation of rational teams with reasonably good policies and they should be able to win? They go on and on about the other side when they need to look inward at how incompetent and ridiculous they've been at implementing things. There's a lot of deeper analysis out there.

I just really want to have someone ask Trump (and get an answer thats not in tweet form) WTF he means by the term "the left"???
