Retribution against who? We don't know who did it or if they were associated with any group.
The ‘who’ was decided long before Kirk was shot. Trump has been praying for this day. He doesn’t give a shit about who shot Kirk. Trump can tell his cultists anything and they will believe it. Shit, Trump could have shot Kirk himself, on camera, and his imbecile army would believe it was the ghost of Jimmy Carter if Trump said so. People are saying that this is the spark that will touch off Trump’s retribution. Bitches, his retribution was already well underway.
This is actually unironically true, and it's unbelievably sad.
Yep.
The fbi fuck didn't make a "mistake".
This was planned
to justify the violence they want to do
against the "left" aka anyone who doesn't go along with the nazi "maga" project 25 agenda.
I'm pretty sure you know who: whoever they're scapegoating this month, which is probably us.
But the real reason they want a civil war is that they think they have the upper hand and can establish minority rule.
That's an impressive amount of exactly-right squeezed into very few words.
They do have the upper hand. They have the military, the supreme court, the congress and the executive. The 2024 election was literally the last chance to stop what's here and what's to come.
You're dumb, the right always know who did what. They are basically all Sherlock Holmes. /s
Headline: Ammo Found In Charlie Kirk Assassination Engraved With Pro-Trans, Anti-Fascist Ideology

My understanding is that info is bogus. Notice it comes from the WSJ.
Multiple outlets are reporting the same information though.
All of the ones I can find point back to the WSJ as the source. Are there any that have a different source saying that?

Here's more, but you can just google the keywords "charlie kirk shooter trans" and find more. It's not fully confirmed by every agency yet, I've just seen it reported by multiple sources is all.
Neither of those articles mention the word "trans" at all. It looks more likely that that part's BS.
I don't think it's a false flag operation. But this makes it sound like a false flag operation
You think that's going to stop a determined idiot?
No, the question is purely rhetorical.
