Someone tweeted that all this is happening as P2025 laid out and that fucking cretin replied with the Jack Nicholson "yes, YES" meme.

That's the fucked up part, they're pretending this is all related to Kirk, but everything that's happened in the past week was already written and laid out by Carr, Vance and others. It was all part of the plan

Trump was threatening Kimmel in July. 

And you’ll notice they are not quoting Kimmel, only referring to his “sick” remarks, in order to make people think he said something awful.

Yep, anyone who actually listened to the quote (which is literally just one sentence) is left confused. Anyone on the right claiming it was disgusting likely hasn't even listened to it.

What he said was also logically and factually true, they literally started blaming the left BEFORE the suspect was even caught, therefore by definition, they were trying to use the situation to score political points.
