Get ready my children their ( MAGA) is accusing us of the murder Because they don’t believe in any sickness of the mind Or any physical ones either It’s amazing No science is BS but Donald Trump and Junior are seekers of the truth Omg but when one our reps are killed or rather 4 shot 2 killed What was it Senator Mike Lee said “ Uh oh trouble in Waltz World 🤮Trump even wants to pardon the potential kidnappers of Governor of Michigan I live in fear in America not of crime but of our fascist government This is a nightmare even in the sixties being white I wasn’t afraid even protesting Some in Ohio and Chicago were rightly so But not me because I am American we voted nobody could take that right from us Then the assignations came one after the other brokenhearted but I wasn’t afraid Now I am sincerely afraid for myself and even more for my family My daughter is a Teacher every day she goes to school I am afraid My Grandaughter (5th generation Democrat) has 2 biracial small daughters And my Grandson a senior who is so talented and came out at 14 let us know that he is gay What will happen to these beautiful children ?what a Ugly Ugly America Is anyone else afraid ?

Just added “poltroonish” to my list of vocabulary. Just moved out of van Orden’s district 6 months ago to one where my congressmen is not poltroonish, merely just a rubber stamp. On Wisconsin! 🙄
“But the fringe is now the mainstream.” I wish more people would wake up to this reality. Sykes Law 101: You fight speech with more speech. I learned this long ago.
Somehow, inexplicably, the first amendment has been cast out and vilified. Heaven forbid someone should mention that Mr. Kirk, as horrific as his killing was, was a misogynist, homophobe, racist and anti-Semite. These are facts; people are losing their jobs by stating facts. Woe is us.
Charlie, thank you for the catalog of warnings that threaten our free speech. Clearly, the Right and MAGA are primed to suppress criticism and dissent. If not now, they will increase their efforts when the next incident allows them.
How can we protect ourselves from this trend? I invite your readers to respond.
Trump and MAGA Republicans are behaving treasonously when they threaten to punish those who criticize them. Such radically unAmerican ideas are routine for Putin’s orange stooge but in regard to the rest of MAGA I fear our education system has failed us. I don’t know how else to explain these politicians and influencers talking like KGB thugs. It’s as if they never learned anything about their own country and its values and traditions.
Some of the people who most ostentatiously wrap themselves in the flag have shown themselves to be hostile to some of our nation's central founding principles.
Give a fascist a cookie, and.... I never thought I would see a POTUS incite violent backlash against an entire half or more of the country. Or their organizations. Or their right to free speech. But I did on Wednesday night and it broke my heart. What does this man (and Bannon, et al) hope to achieve? Aren't masked thugs enough for the spectacle they so crave? Or do we have to endure round-ups of people who disagree with MAGA, jailed and without trials, cast into a black hole somewhere, or worse, lined up and shot? Oh my dear America. What has become of us?
Worth mentioning how a 22 y/o could become an expert marksman at such a young age to make such a precise shot: Essentially no one but a military or FBI-trained sniper could make that shot, even with everything in his favor.

Charlie Kirk’s own comment about the second amendment , “some gun deaths are worth it” in defense of the Second Amendment”
I’m sure he never thought he would be one of those deaths!
Sometimes Karma has a funny sense of humor.
Sounds like this issue will be the basis for insurrection act.

Mr. Sykes enjoyed your podcast this evening. Thank you, highly recommended to everyone involved and the people of substack, good night everyone.
Are Sykes and Riordan the same person? You have the same dogs! So what's with the pseudonym?
Riordan is Charlie’s lovely wife.
Okay thank you that makes sense now.
I guess MAGA has gone full Taliban...oh, the irony
Not only is the fringe now the mainstream, it's running every branch of the US government.

Hey Saint Charlie Kirk died for your rights so sit down and shut up!
