  1. Charlie Kirk murder as the trumpist flavor of a Reichstag fire would be too fucking dumb. Even for this timeline
  2. Good lord they are FEASTING on Kirk's corpse already
  3. Bulletproof vests catch the bullet and dissipate the energy into layers of laminated kevlar, it makes no sense that it would ricochet like off a metal plate. If he were wearing an AR500 plate, maybe? But that would be pretty apparent
  4. Definitely an aspect to unpack. Single precise shot out of the blue and then melting into the crowd is like something out of a Bourne movie or the The Jackal
  5. Top men are on this. Top. Men.
  6. I too posted on the Daily Texan 2018-2025. Pronghorn out front shoulda told ya, disinformation is allowed as long as you're a dumbass
  7. He's a major part of Trump's outreach to genZ, so it stands to reason he would get honors in the transactional way trumpco works
  8. There's too much irony in the context around how he died. He died supporting what he loved
  9. What about transgender mass shooters? I hear they're the real threat
  10. News-wise, the police say they do not have a suspect in custody and the president has announced Kirk's death https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/charlie-kirk-shot-utah-09-10-25#cmfefwck100003b6nd2qwvvis
  11. That old dude was released and the suspect is still at large, according to the police
  12. Y'all do realize multiple democratic lawmakers have been ASSASINATED THIS YEAR? Jesus Christ, Johnny.
  13. It never is, after a shooting eh? Funny how that always goes
  14. This is bad and will be used as a reason for more escalation. Charlie Kirk is not someone I'll be sad to leave this world, seeing as he ushered in much of the social hate we enjoy today, but this is only going to engender more hate and violence.
  15. Lemme know if you ever figure out if tariffs have an effect on the economy, scout
  16. what's wild is the even the nazis supported the idea of a Jewish state. It would give them a place to ship all their jews off to - they came to their "final solution" because they just didn't have anywhere to keep all these pesky jews! The nazis wanted all the Jews out of Europe. The Zionists wanted Jews to move to the Holy Land out of Europe. During Kristallnacht, there were mobs chanting ’Juden raus! Auf nach Palästina!’ (Jews out, out to Palestine) as they destroyed jewish businesses. Something, something, horseshoe theory.
  17. And the COVID-19 pandemic was still in its early stages with a vaccine months away. Cmon man, stop being so willfully obtuse and ignorant. It's not a good bit.
  18. One step further, social media is engineered to pick up on outrage content and amplify it to drive more engagement, and make better margins on microtargeted ads. It's not just people using SM to amplify it, the platforms do it too to goose numbers. The administors mistake that cacophony of shit for people actually caring, when they'll have moved on to the next thing if you just tell them to fuck off. Let that snowball, and you're at the point of the governor and president being led by the nose of social media to do whatever they can be outraged into doing
  19. But the "grown ups" in charge being cowards and kowtowing to the performative outrage certainly is. Bunch of weak cowards like Texas Fight hiding behind their lie of "the executive order is da law, sowwee" rather than owning their hate and/or lack of spine
  20. Oh and an update to the Hyundai plant story - people HAD their papers and were abducted nonetheless https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/10/hyundai-factory-ice-raid-legal-visa The document says that immigration agents from Atlanta “determined that [redacted] entered into the United States in [redacted], with a valid B1/B2 visa and [redacted] was employed at HL-GA Battery Company LLC as a contractor from the South Korean company SFA. From statements made and queries in law enforcement databases, [redacted] has not violated his visa; however, the Atlanta Field Office Director has mandated [redacted] be presented as a Voluntary Departure. [Redacted] has accepted voluntary departure despite not violating his B1/B2 visa requirements.”
  21. Really burning bridges on the international stage, wow
  22. It's pretty goofy, but goddamn getting onto the field for halftime is hard to beat! Lotta fun GAMEDAY traditions to get to relive once a year
  23. Excited for the Alumni Band game this weekend! Definitely stopping by with a buddy again, do I just send a DM to pre-buy a couple tickets?
  24. Dude you're quoting a clearly partisan "anti-woke" organization as some sort of reasonable source. Their website has a hotline to "blow the whistle on DEI". I thought pronghorn was banned?
