The "Coming Together" call is pure

nonsense in the context of the killing of Charlie Kirk. It appears to have been MAGA on MAGA crime and so what on earth is the logic in some call to "come together". If politicians and media talking heads want to chirp about something they can do so at the GQP and MAGA who refuse to condemn their own as in the case in Minnesota.

The rhetoric on the left isn't causing your problems. So telling me to not use words like fascist, Nazi and Gestapo is something they can heartily go F*ck Themselves over. MAGA didn't condemn Charlottesville they praised it. MAGA didn't condemn January 6th they praised it. MAGA hasn't condemned the killing of LGBTQ+ people they have stoked the cry for their rights to be taken away.

I fully expect the media to run hours of live coverage of the funeral of Charlie Kirk and nobody on the screen will have the guts to challenge about why they didn't do the same for Melissa Hortman and her husband. This is what we get with corporate ownership of the news in 2025. An uneducated/undereducated populace sits and laps up the idea spewed at them that somehow the rhetoric on the left is a problem. It gives them an "out" so they don't have to look at their own side or their own ignorance.

These supposedly educated people in media know full well that placing any blame on the left is pure BS. But nearly all media people will sell out for an extra nickel or to not lose a nickel. They prove it over and over again. Just like in talk radio where some guy using a "radio name" let's say Johnny Green works for a talk station as the "middle of the road guy" for 3 years and then moves on to a different part of the country and changes his "radio name" to Mike Crater and now he works the hard right angle to his listeners. Propagandists. Pure and simple. Liars of the highest order without concern for the damage they do in the BS they foment and solidify in people. All for a paycheck. Just like the ones on the screens of America. Then they wring their hands when something happens and create a meme and place blame where it doesn't belong and never once look at themselves.

Remember when The Horse called it Media Whores On-Line? Calling them media "whores" was 100% accurate.

Liberals value harmony and unity, so we are being manipulated to love
someone evil, to stop telling the truth about him.
