The GOP is already at war with us. They are stealing all of our public funding, they are taking away vaccines that save our lives, they are sending in armed military to keep us in fear, and they have purchased the supreme court to give them whatever they want.
The war started in January when the pedophile got into office.
They're just mad they got punched back
We don't even know that. Its completely possible kirk was cheating on his wife with the killer and things did not end amicably.
In most cases of murder the murderer is somebody the victim knew.
Please God, if you exist, let this have been done by a jilted lover. Give us a sign that there's a light at the end of the tunnel and we're on track towards the funniest timeline.
I hope it was a diehard Trump supporter.
They always lie and say it was a leftist anyway. The truth is what trump says not what we see with our eyes.
Yeah... I know. I can hope though.
Supposed pictures of the shooter are out now. It's a white male, who could have figured that one out!?!?!
