Anyway, as far as actual predictions go, I suspect this will be worked into Trump's "ban trans folk from owning guns" push regardless of who ends up actually being accused of the deed.

Other than that, probably some panic from the Limbaugh knockoffs and a general increase in the temperature... But when the president is posting memes about invading cities, it's hard to imagine this turning into any kind of a trigger event.

Hey, he died. How 'bout that.

@CactuarJoe lawl. Le-meow even

Edit: Aw, it's actually Crowder. Oh well.

@CactuarJoe I think that's Steven Crowder, a different right wing shithead.

@jef Ah, dang. I think you're right

All things being equal, I guess I'm a little disappointed that Charlie Kirk got the competent assassin and not Trump.

I mean, I'll *take* it, but

Apparently they got the guy and he's just some 4chan troll. Eh, whatever.

Mostly just means, outside of maybe someone trying *very hard* to spin this shit like a gyroscope, this is probably a one-week-then-forgotten story.

Poor Charlie probably won't be getting that statue, I suppose.

@CactuarJoe Time to treat it like a school shooting and never speak of it again!

@trixter It's too *early* to have conversations about how rich white dipshits keep shooting each other for clout!
