Well Obama likes dijon mustard so he should keep his elite ideas to himself.
- Can you believe he wore a tan suit? A tan fucking suit!
  
  But he is a war criminal and here's an essay and twenty-five RT links about how Putin is way better.
  
  Truly the most heinous act any president has committed
  
  A tan suit is, believe it or not, the uniform of antifa!
  
  You guys are playing down the offense of: FEET ON THE DESK.
  And even worse: the LATTE SALUTE. It's because he wanted make the troops cry, and Fundamentally Change America because of his AntiColonialism and his Deep-Seated Hatred For White People or White Culture.
This is the martyr they've been waiting for.
Stephen Miller especially: “It is a vast domestic terror movement,” said Miller, speaking of left-wing political organizations. “With God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people,” he added. “It will happen, and we will do it in Charlie’s name.”
- That would have been my bet.
Yeah it was intended
Gee thanks Obama.
Real Presidents would have called in the shooter to have a beer with them, amirite?
- "The enemy" was not the same as "the shooter".
  The shooter did this on his own without any 'funding' or 'organization', at most just online rhetoric generically pushing him to the edge combined with Charlie Kirk's schtick of saying extreme stuff for sake of engagement making him a target for those that do go over the edge.
  "The enemy" is anyone that is a real threat to the enduring power of the administration. They largely have nothing to do with the shooting, but the shooting is useful to build the narrative. Just like the narrative omits the democratic victims.

  Remains to be seen.
  I would not be surprised in the slightest if he's associated with Nick Fuentes and his Groyper Army.
  Fuentes and Kirk have been fueding for years. This could have (ironically enough) been a gang related shooting.
  They largely have nothing to do with the shooting
  Fascist movements love to backstab almost as much as they love an internal purge. Kirk getting got by an ideological rival (lone wolf or otherwise) isn't the first such case and it won't be the last.
