The website “Expose Charlie’s Murderers,” ostensibly used to track people who were saying bad things about Charlie Kirk so people could get them fired, was deplatformed by their provider. Of course, people were also using it to plan hits, probably. ---

I hope the roommate, whatever his orientation (and I’m not about to accept as true what’s being flogged by the right-o-sphere now), is being protected in an undisclosed location, not being abused by questioners, and will get some version of a witness protection bolthole to escape to when the authorities are done with him. He must be scared half out of his wits. ---

They’re going to “go after” left leaning NGOs? Why not just skip the middleman and outlaw the Democratic party as a “terrorist organization”? Let’s just start rounding up anybody who’s registered with the party. After all, we’re all here engaging in “stochastic terrorism” by not accepting Trump’s lies and actually pointing out the hateful rhetoric that people like Charlie Kirk actually engaged in. 1st Amendment? What’s that? And what would “going after” actually look like? Investigations? Unsupported assertions like that fed board member Trump is trying to accuse of mortgage fraud? A mountain of bullshit lawsuits? More manipulation of the federal courts to get something in front of the Supreme Court so they can just start blatantly outlying particular organizations on political grounds? This Supreme Court would 100% do that. Is somebody going to take a shot at Soros or AOC now? What is MAGA hearing when Vance and Miller says things like this? How the hell can anyone think this makes any sense? And these are not social media influencers or random Russian bots on X. It’s the fucking Vice President and a White House chief of staff saying these things. I’m trying to come up with a dryly witty end to this post and I got nothing. I’m just angry right now. ---

Oh, don’t worry. It’s practically guaranteed there will be more desecration during that so-called vigil. The fucker’s going to, no doubt, have a military honor guard marching out the US flag and the military service flags, to boot. For his burial, his coffin will be covered with the national ensign and that flag will be folded by a service member who will then present it to a high ranking commissioned officer, who will then turn and hand the flag to the dead bigot’s bigoted widow with the words > On behalf of the President of the United States and a grateful nation, please accept this flag as a symbol of our appreciation for your loved one’s honorable and faithful service. You’ll note there’s no mention of the branch of service and _that’s because the SOB didn’t fucking serve this country!_ ---

After the honor guard they’ll probably bury him in an ungodly ostentatious mausoleum festooned with ugly golden trinkets that will make the dictator in the White House’s dead shriveled heart skip a beat. They’ll do this so that no one can piss on his grave like so many deserve to be able to. It’ll be like the “Tomb of the Unknown Soldier” with an assigned 24-hour guard. Except we can all start calling it “The Tomb of the Very Well Known Bigot with the too small face.” ---

> [@Railer13](#): > > I hope he pleads guilty and saves us the agony of a trial A lot of the reporting has said he was “not cooperating” with investigators. I wouldn’t be surprised if he pleads not guilty. But it does look like a pretty open and shut case, so who knows? I doubt he’s getting much of a plea deal. ---
