By The Numbers - part the ninety second

You want to know who's responsible for political violence? Well, Thomas B. Edsell has gathered the numbers. To the surprise of no one with a brain, it's the MAGAnauts.

He lists many, many studies. The Right Wingnuts come out on top. By a mile. But this is how he writes the punchline:
At 7 p.m. on Sept. 10, the day Kirk was killed, Laura Loomer posted on X:
Charlie Kirk's death will not be in vain. I will be spending my night making everyone I find online who celebrates his death Famous, so prepare to have your whole future professional aspirations ruined if you are sick enough to celebrate his death. I'm going to make you wish you never opened your mouth.
If Trump, Vance, Miller and Loomer have their way, America will take another step toward becoming a McCarthyite state with the ever-present danger that your colleagues and friends will report your offhand quick-reaction social media posts to government authorities.

As terrible as the killing of Charlie Kirk was, this way of honoring it is repellent.
Just what Petty, Paranoid, Demented, Dictator Don wants: to out do Kim, Putin, Erdogan, and the rest. And slurping up lots of Bongo Bucks for him and his. It's not just an autocracy, it's a kleptocracy. Buy one for yourself today!!
