The US entered this darkness at the dictator’s installation in January. The path to sunshine on the horizon is going to be through darkness.

When you hire darkness, you get darkness. They arrested a22 yo for Kirks murder. He was a trump supporter. Sadly, hi motivation is unclear and the major ramifications of this to his family and community are myriad. I weep for them. I pray for them.

Do you think trump will apologize to the democrats for all the slander and harm he has done? Yeah, me either. He'll double down.

He will double down. No doubt, the failing economy, epstein issue, foreign leaders who stopped inviting him to meetings ( now making their own agreements) his Russian roulette with the Tariff/tax issue, Farmers left hanging , gun control or lack thereof, food costs, Healthcare for many disrupted, I could go on but everyone on this feed knows the issues. He wants to make $ at the ssne time take no blame for all the things going so badly, and the best way to accomplish that is the distraction of domestic " enemies". I am like many average Americans wondering when this horror show will end?

Whoever said if you elect a clown president you should expect nothing less than a circus was so right! And the rest of us need to quit with the hand wringing and stand up and speak out. The Supreme Court is anything but- let’s get rid of lifetime appointments- we need fewer REPUBLICANS in Congress- let’s campaign for everyone but them… if we aren’t part of a solution we’re part of the problem. MAKE DEMOCRACY WORK AGAIN!!!!🧢

He is a Groyper and for those of you who haven’t heard of them before. From AI: The Groypers, sometimes called the Groyper Army, are a group of alt-right, white nationalist, and Christian nationalist activists led by Nick Fuentes. They hated Kirk! This young man spent mega hours on Discord.

If, as Trump says, Kirk is a "martyr for truth and freedom," then the "truth" according to Trump is that white Christian males are superior to everyone else, i.e., women, all minorities (non-whites), all religions beyond Christianity, etc. Everyone else must be denied the vote and be in servitude to white Christian males. If that isn't blatant bigotry, then what is? Trump has just admitted publicly that he is a bigot and racist.

Trump is not a Christian. He only pretends to be because they are a large segment of his base of fools...which is understandable when you think about for a minute.

Is our government ever going to address Trump's treason (his "relationship" with Putin)? It's also behind the two times Putin has "assisted" to ensure Trump's "election".

Not as long as our government is MAGA. Before the election, they tried, but started too late, and Trump's delay tactics worked.

I pray for this country but we should realize things are going to get much worse before they can get better, if ever. I feel sad for those that have believed in the wrong person for so long, they just can't see the writing on the wall. Please if you are s praying public, pray continually that God will give us some respite, a season if you will in which we can catch our breath and see a positive change for the better. I'm an optimist, but even I am no fool. God bless you all.

Darkness and capitalism....who knew? Capitalism only really works for the wealthy. What we have today is hyper or Monopoly capitalism. A modified socialist/ smart restrained capitalist system ( which we kind of had a while back ).is the only thing that will work. People can still make money be entrepreneurs start and own businesses become rich and be successful in a socialist system....it would just be unfavorable to the billionaire class and hopefuls....oh boo hoo.

The Utah State Governor opens with "The first right in the US Constitution is the right to life", and ends with, "The death penalty still applies in this state"!

If Hitler had been successfully assassinated by any of the over 40 attempts on his life, would that have been a bad thing, and we deplore the assassin!

There have been more attacks and killings of Democrat Party politicians in recent years than Republicans and the attempt on Mister Trump was by a card-carrying Republican.

The ideology of Mister Kirk and Mister Trump is divisive and hateful and the cause of Mister Kirk's death.

I'm not an American - a foreign observer.

Great points, all! The first point about the governor is a spot on observation. Also, Republicans never acknowledge that the Trump shooter was a righr-winger. Typical, and despicable. And the second person arrested for trying to shoot Trump was ALSO a Republican!

FYI, with respect, it's "Democratic party", not "Democrat party". That's something Republicans love to say because they emphasize the "rat" part. "DemocRAT party".

And that makes him think that everyone needs to bow down. Women will be slaves.
