Had to erase my comment multiple times. Just use your imagination
One [member of Congress] is even vowing to carry firearms.
Yeah, a sidearm would have saved Charlie. 🙄
Charlie should’ve shot himself in the neck again to plug the hole
Load the bullet in backwards, shoot it the opposite way
Maybe not a sidearm… but a sideneck???
List of reasons they should be afraid
-July 13, 2024 Failed assassination attempt on trump
-December 4, 2024 Successful assassination of health insurance ceo
-May 21, 2025 Two embassy of israel staff members shot and killed
-July 28,2025 Landlord ceo shot and killed
-September 10, 2025 Successful assassination of charlie kirk by a shooter who hasn't been caught yet
Averaging more than one every six months. That's quite impressive really, even if the quality arguably hasn't always been there. Assassinations still doing better than Marvel movies though on the quantity-quality scale.
oh please... why would they be more afraid now than when those senators got shot?
Leftist politicians (and sometimes liberals like those senators) get taken out all the time. They fear this for the same reasons as Luigi. Potentially leftist political violence reverses the target from the exploited to the exploiter.
You're supposed to let us kill the poors unopposed! You can't turn the violence back against us!
The best line from “Kill the Poor” by Dead Kennedys is, “Convince the liberals it’s ok!”
Because they’re online like everyone else so somehow, parasocially, they think this is somehow closer to home.
Also I think a lot of the time they know that most of the violence is directed at the left so they chalk up the other incidents as “friendly fire.” Oops, while Q pilling American meemaws we accidentally caused some low-tier right winger to get shot. I always think of that time some mob guy got greased by some middle aged loser who thought he was part of pizza gate. Something like that.
This time I think they might be scared it’s their own base gunning for them, maybe over Epstein, or it actually factually is terrorism from the left which despite their crying of wolf they have never actually faced. I think they’re a bit shocked at the implications and they’re trying their old playbook but their palpable unease says they think something is on the wind.
Yeah, Luigi (who, I might add, is innocent.) was close enough to actual left wing terror that they pissed themselves when he proved popular. Any sort of regular stochastic or organised violence from the left would be devastating for them. They won't be able to contain it like they did the Weathermen, they don't have the state capacity anymore for COINTELPRO tactics.
That reminds me of the guy who went into the Senate baseball game blasting. That resulted in a great Trillbillies ep.
I haven't seen the establishment shit their pants like this since Jan 6. 
what about 
Definitely need an uptick in 3D graffiti.
“Scared to death”
Still alive
Disappointed
Didn't an actual congressperson and senator get shot very recently?
Nancy Pelosi's house was also broken into by some chud looking to murder her. Since she wasn't home, he settled on taking a hammer to her husband's skull and nearly killed him.
Pelosi came out with some "reach across the aisle" bullshit in response while Trump was all "Damn, too bad it wasn't her instead of her husband."
what a wimp. has anyone seen her spine?
Melissa Hortman on June 14
state senator but yea
An October 7th of the class war this is not. But they are deathly afraid that one will come.
In this scenario, who are the thousand people mowed down by Israeli helicopters?
Unarmed civilian proles. Unless you're implying that it would be their own people? Then in that case it would be more like the US military mowing down finance people indiscriminately in Wall Street during an uprising that targets Wall Street. Or something equivalent idk.
Meanwhile I had a very happy day the other day. I felt really uplifted and strangely good and I still have this afterglow. Maybe try not being horrible people with power that use it only for ill thus gaining enemies and living a life that will leave no one but your family and donors missing you. Idk.
Oh shit, at this rate, the bourgeoise might feel pressured to share a tiny portion of their wealth! They could end up giving an small concession to marginally improve lives again!
Nooooo please don't, anyway 
Not scared enough to change policy tho.
They’re just yapping. I will be completely unsurprised if/when we memory hole this bs in a week like we basically have done with every thing else
"wide availability of high-powered guns" new grabber classification dropped. cant wait to see people hunting deer with a glock. i thought someone being assassinated with a bolt action would contribute in some way to these dipshits realizing that it's not a specific bad type of gun that's dangerous, but i guess they're actually just specifically scared of bolt action rifles now, im impressed
Guy who's scared of lever action repeaters because they are devastating battlefield weapons capable of firing far more rapidly than your good old brown bess.
We may hate them but are they not entitled to human rights?
Absolutely not, human rights are for humans, not politicians
Maybe they should stop facilitating a genocide until they figure this out? Like that could even cross their minds.
😔
make congress afraid again
Lol, lmao
cool and good
Inb4 Drinky Pete establishes the Praetorian Guard for Republican congresspeople.
He’d insist on calling them that, too.
Newsflash, Pete, you’d hate Ancient Rome. Distillation of alcohol hadn’t been invented yet. Muslims did that. So have fun trying to get to that fifth-of-vodka-blackout pounding red wine by the gallon.
Romans did know strong alcohols, just the production took much more effort.
Hope some people in the US take the congresspeople up on their offer.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., grew emotional while speaking to reporters [Thursday]. “That’s what these folks try to do, they try to scare you into inaction,” he said. “And I think that that’s the last thing that Charlie would want, is for people to be quiet, whether you agree with him or not.”
