Charles Kirk's assassination took Epstein out of the news. Now D.T. (deranged testicle) attempts to use this murder to restore his dwindling popularity by blaming the left. However, Don fails to mention that democrats and liberals have been recent targets of violence also.

What message comes from praising and releasing the January 6 rioters including those who attacked police? Hmmm, does anyone in MAGA see an inconsistency here? On the anniversary of September 11, this doesn't feel encouraging. Have we not learned that we need to work together for a better world for all? At least we the living can still smile.

His rants will our freedom stifle 
The lives of others a trifle
The lies Trump expounds 
Sound like lethal rounds 
Shot from Don's mouth like a rifle

You couldn’t let it go for a day. It’s hate filled crap like this that got Charlie Kirk killed by a cowardly hate filled assassin and made his wife a widow and his young kids fatherless. Just tone-deaf. The one upside to this post is it reveals who and what you are.

Trump’s response was 100% dead on. The biggest threat in America right now is a Democrat with a gun. Can’t wait to see this killer’s manifesto. It will read like something from your homepage.

Thanks for your comment Keith. I always appreciate and consider your comments. BTW, I do get what you are saying and don't mind if you find what I've done discomfortingly mean. Please know that I did not feel glee about what I wrote, and I appreciate the horror you sense regarding the subject matter. However, D.T.'s reactionary comments yesterday inspired me to write this poem meant to point out where and how violence and hate originate. Keith, you can shoot the messenger (me) verbally, but what did your hero D.T. say? His response to this assassination was inflammatory and inappropriate--the opposite of what it should have been. I don't expect you to agree with that point, but I would have much more respect for you if you would. The real hypocrite here is not yours truly. There's an old saying, "A fish rots from the head." The leader in the Oval Office sets the tone for the entire political landscape. Sorry to have to tell you, his response stank.

Dangerous rhetoric remarks accusations of the left responsible for the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I'm about to post a senryu of this lie, thought too soon. It contains Charlie's last words , his thoughts on mass shootings questioned before he was shot, "gun violence the price we pay for defending the 2nd amendment" then he was assassinated. Proud boy wannabe's , influence their sons perhaps. We'll find out soon if its one more incell loner or if he acted alone. I'm outraged at the president for his rederrik!

Thanks Anaya, it's rather shameful that anyone resort to violence against anyone. It's also shameful to accuse those on the left who believe in compromise and negotiation of causing the violence. D.T. (detestable tsar) is a dictator-wannabe fomenting more violence for his own political gain. It doesn't inspire confidence and goes against what rational politicians are saying. However, it certainly did silence the Epstein association he was having difficulty dealing with. Smiles!!
