    Nah, that would be when Ted Cruz made similar comments the other day.

        Well, not just that. They derive a great deal of success from ranting against the ‘liberal agenda’. If all the vaguely left leaning voices are obviously silenced, then their own engagement goes down because there’s no opposition voice to rant against. As ridiculous they look on a normal day, they look just utterly beyond crazy in a scenario where everyone but them are essentially gagged.

          Their entire use to the party only has value until they do Crush opposition voices.

          After they consolidate power they will not need any of these guys, they will be a liability, especially ones like Joe that try to think for themselves and disagree with the party line on some issues even while pretending to believe things like the president’s lawsuits against the media being in good faith which, ha, he knows better, he’s a cynical motherfucker.

          That goes for almost everybody on the right however, they need a lot of people to take over, after they do they will not have any use for these same people. They should be careful what they wish for.

      With all the bizarre shit that has happened since Charlie Kirk’s shooting, and it’s a new level of Bizarro World out there, the most bizarre may be that Rafael Edward Cruz was a voice of reason.

        Now you have right wing gun folk saying the shot was impossible because they know the 30-06 would penetrate way more and do more massive damage than it did according to the report.

          They need to get their stories straight. Fox News told them it was a miracle that his body blocked the bullet from potentially harming anyone else.

          There is no physical way, even broken completely down, to fully put the murder weapon in the bag the alleged shooter was using to transport it.

          It is literally physically impossible.

          Is that legit criticism? What if the bullet hit the spine? It did seem to do quite a bit of damage, I only saw a 3 second video clip but the lesson I took from all of this is looking for a single well placed shot, do it with the hunting rifle and leave the fancy assault rifle at home.

            There is no difference between rifles at that short distance. Single well placed shots are down to the shooter, not the rifle (unless the rifle is broken).

          I’ve been wondering about that. They might have a point? Not saying that the shot was faked , but maybe something was off about the ammo. Idk, the 30.06 is a fairly good size round used to hunt moose and elk, seems like it could easily pass right through a person

        I am used to that part by now, I have found myself agreeing with Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor green on several subjects. Both of which made better points than the Democratic politicians or influencers on some of them.
