You just can't make this sh*t up.

What exactly is so troubling to self-important dolts like Joe Kent, about direct ballistic and forensic evidence, video of the guy arriving and fleeing the scene from the roof, admitting he did it to his closest friend, about his acute documented hatred of Kirk leading up to him shooting Kirk with a gun he had access to? Guess what Joe, you're not some maverick truth-seer. The shooter had no ties to Mossad. Just an unstable young man with a gun, with an unreasonable hatred of Kirk. The end. Maybe give Kirk's family some grace instead of publicly indulging your delusions to feed your pathetic ego. Geez, these people.

This is one of my favorite Bulwark newsletters because it never fails to make me laugh, thereby boosting my mood. (And gives me material and inspiration for novels.) And the Owens-Kent conspiracies are truly amazing. The right receives, in the form of Tyler Robinson, a perfectly prepared hors d'oeuvre on a silver platter -- "pro-trans leftist assassin!!!!" -- and for a while it looks like they will use this to persecute everyone who disagrees with them and criticizes their movement. It briefly appeared that they were going to make Kirk's assassination their Reichstag moment. But lo and behold, THIS is what half of them choose to believe instead, a nebulous conspiracy involving Kirk's widow, Israel, and the Mormons. Because they really just cannot quit the misogyny, antisemitism, general bigotry, and conspiracy-theory thinking. Love it.

While I sincerely question Joe Kent’s mental wellbeing, I also recognize that he did up (I believe) up to 10 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have volunteered with GWOT vets and the consequences of individuals doing tour after tour needs to be studied. They went from war zone back to the US where fellow citizens were mindless consumers without a care in the world who did the “Thank you for your service” crap-and then back to a war zone for 6-8-10 months.

Our government, and our fellow citizens, failed a stunning amount of our young citizens we asked to fight wars for 20 years.

Honestly, Will, I feel like I learned more than I ever needed to know in the intro paragraph alone. God bless and keep your sanity as you continuously wade into the mire; thank you for the work that you do.

I have no idea why you go down this rabbit hole with these people --- NO ONE CARES AND FEW (ME INCLUDED) NEVER HEAR OF ANY OF THEM, other than Kent, who I am trying to forget.

When you see the names Kirk, Fuentes and Carlson - many of us fee a turn in our stomach.

All a bunch of garbage that were/are pitching lies and stupidity for their personal wealth.

Reminds me of the worthless Rush Limbaugh who was honored by Trump - OMG

Will really outdid himself this time - I laughed out loud multiple times. The insanity seems to be accelerating. Bravo!

Some days are better than others. Reading about the MAGAs at each other’s throats is too much to ask for. Going to double my popcorn order, sit back and watch the show. Thanks Will. Do try to stay sane, we are counting on you!

Will, I can’t get enough of False Flag. Love MAGA Mondays, too!

It's pretty sad that there are Groypettes. How much internalized misogyny must you need to wear a shirt supporting men who very explicitly want you to STFU and have babies?

It's become a firehose of crazy! Will, pace yourself.

Just waiting for Candace Owens to tell us the US was dragged into Iran after Netanyahu threatened

Trump with the real Epstein files collected by the Mossad

Or Candace may tell us that the Trump coin foretells the future through the Thayer Amendment of 1866, the federal law that bans the portrait of any living person on United States currency, bonds, or securities. Specific laws, such as the Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005, reiterate that no coin may bear the image of a living former or current president. The prohibition was intended to prevent the appearance of vanity and to distinguish the American republic from monarchies.

Wanghaf is German for stubborn. Perfectly descriptive if you add bescheuert.

I speak German and I approve this. 😂

Once again, I mourn for most of humanity, having to share this planet with these … folks.

Actually, I mourn more for the rest of the animal, plant, and single-celled kingdoms. Sorry, protozoa.
