A judgement isn't enough. Those behind the warrant should be in prison, and fined personally. The tax payers of Tennessee shouldn't have to foot the bill for their malfeasance.
- adrr 5mo agoImagine if he said "we need a patriot to bail out the guy who killed charlie kirk" like Charlie kirk said about the guy who tried to murder Paul Pelosi and was at Nancy Pelosi's house to torture her.
- selectodude 5mo agoSometimes I feel like I live in an alternative reality because I very clearly remember thousands of people saying shit like that.
- ceejayoz 5mo agoAre you sure they weren’t ironically referencing the Pelosi case to make a point about the double standard?
- selectodude 5mo agoThey very well could be. If so, great. Poe’s law and all.
- strictnein 5mo agoImagine you added this context to that statement which was a broader statement about bail and not about how he supported the attacker? I don't agree with Kirk, but your "quote" of him is purposefully misleading. “I’m not qualifying it. I think it’s awful. It’s not right,” Kirk said about the attack on Pelosi, who suffered a skull fracture after being hit in the head with a hammer. “But why is it that in Chicago you’re able to commit murder and be out the next day? Why is it that you’re able to trespass, second-degree murder, arson, threaten a public official, cashless bail. This happens all over San Francisco. But if you go after the Pelosis, oh, you’re [not] let out immediately. Got it.” https://www.factcheck.org/2025/09/viral-claims-about-charlie-kirks-words/ https://www.factcheck.org/2025/09/viral-claims-about-charlie... Here's the actual video, which I think makes it clear that he's joking and he follows it up with the point he made above. https://x.com/JasonSCampbell/status/1587127536122732544 https://x.com/JasonSCampbell/status/1587127536122732544
- adrr 5mo agoThanks for pointing out how he equated random street violence to premeditated attempted murder and torture.
- strictnein 5mo agoI'm really not sure how you got that from what was said? Murder is worse, in fact, than attempted murder, regardless of if it was "random street violence" or not.
- russdill 5mo agoSo the taxpayers should not face accountability for who they elect?
- ceejayoz 5mo agoDid this guy campaign on "I'll violate the First Amendment" or something? What level of taxpayer due dilligence are you envisioning here?
- jasonlotito 5mo ago> Did this guy campaign on "I'll violate the First Amendment" or something? No, he did not literally campaign on those specific words. Did he align himself with people who have and continue to violate the First Amendment (among many others)? Yes. > What level of taxpayer due dilligence are you envisioning here? About 5 minutes.
- LightBug1 5mo agoWhat a ridiculous argument. Basic responsibility sits with those who commit the act.
- russdill 5mo agoVoters are well aware that elections have consequences that have real impacts on their lives. If you elect someone who crashes your economy, who suffers those consequences? Maybe this isn't so much of a "who should suffer the consequences" but maybe more of a "who does (logically) suffer the consequences".
