Last time I called Rittenhouse a murderer here, one of his inbred cult wanted to argue. Let's see if that happens again:

Kyle Rittenhouse is a murderer.

Kyle Rittenhouse is a murderer.

Who is Kyle? Did you mean Kyla?

Sorry, I will show myself out.

He's definitely a murderer, so that's a thing.

Somehow this is a controversial opinion in America.

Conservatives last week: "Kyle Rittenhouse was acting in self-defense and should be applauded for protecting the white race from BLM violence."

Conservatives this week: "Kyle Rittenhouse is just one more example of the extremist violence in the LGBTQ community."

This is honest to god the funniest thing happening in the Magaverse right now. It's like they got their marching orders mixed up and their daily five minutes of hate that were supposed to be directed at Imane Khelif got swapped for Kyle Rittenhouse at the last minute and nobody questions the logic of it.

Wow they turned on him even quicker than I would have expected. If he'd showed a hint of spine and didn't cave immediately it might have infinitesimally moved my respect for him above 0.

The kid will make the right choice on something one day. Or he won't. Meh.

[-] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 72 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He had a bunch of what I'm assuming were paid appearances canceled immediately.

Since he didn't finish high school and turned down college scholarships, it was pretty easy to bring him to heel.

This piece of shit swirled himself to all the other pieces of shit, then forgot he was also shit in the shit stew.

So Conservatives have been glorifying a Trans person, inviting them to speak, and had no idea this entire time?

Dude does look a little like a lady … sorta.

But seriously “transgendered psy-op and Sandy Hook crisis actor”?!? You can’t make this shit up. It’s like every day I’m reading /r/nottheonion.

These people would murder and eat their own children if they thought they weren’t MAGA enough. Totally not a cult /s

Why do I have to look at that murderers smirking face? He's scum. Who gives a shit about him? He should be ignored.

If Trump wins, I was honestly scared of shenanigans like putting Rittenhouse on the supreme Court or something equally delusional. I hate the kid with a passion and he represents a huge part of what I hate about the right. Seeing him get away with murder was a real gut punch, I'm happy to see him bite the hand that feeds so to speak.

I support my decision and I make no take backs.

Narrator : That, too, was a lie.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
