Trump was shot today

When I get home last night, Gigi our daughter just ran into my arms and I talked to her and she said, ‘Mummy, I missed you’ and I said, ‘I missed you too, baby’ and she goes, ‘Where’s daddy?’ What do you tell a three-year-old? She’s three.

“I said, ‘Baby, daddy loves you so much. Don’t you worry, he’s on a work trip with Jesus so he can afford your blueberry budget’.

This broke me...

for that he was hated by Zelensky propagandists who are celebrating his killing now and wish same for Trump.

Members of the European Parliament dramatically refused a request to honor Charlie Kirk with a a moment of silence in the chamber Thursday.

Swedish MEP Charlie Weimers of the European Conservatives and Reformists group, asked colleagues Thursday to pause proceedings in the house and to "declare that our right to freedom of speech cannot be extinguished."

When Weimers went on to give up his remaining speaking time for a moment of silence, Vice President Katarina Barley cut him off, sparking desk-banging protests from right-wing lawmakers in the chamber.

Outside the chamber, Hungarian Fidesz MEP András László accused Parliament of hypocrisy, pointing out it had previously honored George Floyd but refused Kirk.

One person fired the bullet that murdered Charlie Kirk.
But there’s something we need to get out of politics: the ramping up of freedom of speech into the equivalent of violence.
“Words are violence”
“Micro-aggressions”
“His words made me feel unsafe”
“Jokes are harassment”
“His words made people attack me and I had to call the police”.
Once the idea that ‘words are violence’ is popularised, it makes some people think that real violence is justified in response.
