For posterity, possibly the most important statement in modern history.

[Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11]

Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump.

In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione.

The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response.

This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem for years on end. The cowardice of local prosecutors and school officials have turned the left into a ticking time bomb.

@AandGShow Did you see that Ukraine was using civilian starlink to guide drones into Russia? Do you know what happens if that didn't get shut down? Do you want Kessler Syndrome, because that's how you get it.

@BradRTorgersen Heh. My Amazon card has been doing it for at least 2 cycles. Also goes through chase. And I'm not anything special. But the people taking it at the drive-thru thought it was fancy!

@politicalmath The hilarious part about this is that the language of the Prop gives full authority to the legislature to change the tax after it's voted in to be any percent, any asset level, etc. It's actual goal is to take the power to alter taxes arbitrarily away from the voters.

Pain.

One of the sad things about the Marxist labor theory of value is that it completely excludes quality.

I now have permission to share something I hoped would be revealed with much more fanfare.

I spent more than 3 years as one of the writers of #MassEffect4

It was one of the greatest privileges & GLORIOUS challenges of my life. I smiled every day. I worked HARD for the fans, every day.

So when I say I am devastated by the end of #MassEffect I REALLY mean it. I don’t know how to express how gutted I truly am.

@draginol @AngryJoeShow I'm bummed it died a decade ago.
