in a 'nutshell':The only thing sacred here is the grift. The only thing holy is the purge. And the only thing growing is the list of Americans marked as enemies because they refused to cry on command. This isn’t about honor. This isn’t about respect. This is about power — stupid, brutal, authoritarian power clawing for control under the guise of grief.
agree. sad to say this is very well said. on point. existentially ludicrous. thank you.
These opportunistic grifters, sheisters, liars, fake Christians, criminal and felon protectors and defenders, deflecting their crimes of fomenting hate and worse - onto others and spitting out more vile bullshit - need to be removed asap. Get the money out of politics. Just get their freaking stolen money outta here! Money money money MONEY!!
In my humble opine, it is not simply politically opposing views. It’s HUMANITY and HUMAN issues. My RIGHT to be respected as a woman. My 8 years of service as a Sergeant in the Marines to not be erased by the likes of a draft dodger and a war monger, both cheaters and abusers of women. I am on the edge of seventy (cue Stevie Nicks; you know the song. Sorry; couldn’t help myself. It works.). At issue are HUMAN rights and lifestyles and this crap affects so many different people PERSONALLY. I AM NOT GONNA SIT DOWN OR SHUT UP OR BE ERASED!!! They do not get to shove their warped nastiness down my throat!!! STAND WITH ME!!
You nailed this “A couple of months ago, Laura Loomer was shrieking into her phone that Charlie Kirk had stabbed Donald Trump in the back. MAGA’s attack dog had him marked as a traitor, an apostate, another soft-boy conservative who wasn’t vicious enough for the blood cult. Then Kirk gets shot, and suddenly Laura is draped in black, clutching pearls, wailing like a widow at a mob funeral”
Everyday there is reasons to wonder when this craziness will end. The Closer To The Edge is a beacon in our darker times bringing the information necessary not to succumb to the lies and the dismantling of our society. It will take a majority in Congress to stop this madness. And the remaining majority to not buy into this insanity. Carry on…
These firings are a very clear violation of the first amendment. All these people need to file suit. Just because this administration threatens and does illegal things does not mean they will stick. We have to keep fighting their fascism at every turn. McCarthyism. It didn’t work then and won’t work now. Most Americans, even Republicans, don’t want to live in an America where they can’t speak their mind without retribution.
Agree completely, but many can't afford lawsuits, and the lawyers and judges are either stretched pretty thin, or comprise 6 particular Supreme members of the judicial community.
More practical, quick, and effective methods must be devised.
Political machination on the Machiavellian level doesn’t change the fact that the death of some individuals is cause for relief. No one but psychopaths advocates shooting anybody. But It’s not a lack of humanity to feel comfort, satisfaction even, when the universe appears to set things right. When someone lives and harms by the sword and dies by the same sword there’s a cathartic sense of cosmic justice. I’m not going to reject it. It’s often all we get. MAGA isn’t mourning. They’re feeling cheated, and they’re perverting that (as they pervert everything around them) into and excuse to blame their enemies. I’m with you; fuck ‘em.
I believe people rejoicing in murder should be held to account. But this has the feel of how North Koreans were punished for not “properly” mourning Kim Jong-il.
Speaking of empathy, poor Rep. Clay Higgins was vying for canceler-in-chief. Looks like he’s been outflanked even though he offered to “. . . cancel with extreme prejudice these evil, sick animals. . . ”. Hegseth must have had a better proposal even though this one sounds like he was so close.

I read this while having my coffee this morning and I am truly appalled. I didn’t think things could get worse. But here it is. God help us!
Every week it gets worse . And only we the People can save America.

She wants to replace him. They just keep eating each other to get to the top of the cult.

I am, at this point, truly out of words…
Please someone with the ability; Keep posting, running the news brief of Trump blaming the radical left loonitics for Kirks murder!!!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!

I’m sure you are right. Crowd funding? Protests won’t help.
Who would have thought that Roy Cohn's protege would lead us through another round of mccarthyism?

The hate seething from Hegeseth’s pie hole is palpable.

Excellent post! For a list of quotes belying Kirk's racism, xenophobia, misogyny and more, see Zeteo's "Charlie Kirk in His Own Words--17 quotes you should read from the right-wing activist and Trump ally who was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday in Utah" here: https://zeteo.com/p/charlie-kirk-in-his-own-words?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=2325511&post_id=173452031&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=2416fu&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email
