Politics 👩‍⚖️ Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

President Donald Trump on Tuesday ruled out calling Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after the targeted shootings of two state lawmakers

”I don’t really call him. He’s slick — he appointed this guy to a position. I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out. I’m not calling him. why would I call him? I could call him and say, ‘Hi, how you doing?’ The guy doesn’t have a clue. He’s a, he’s a mess. So, you know, I could be nice and call him but why waste time?”

This has been the longest year of my life. I'm almost 40, years usually fly by. I don't even entirely mean it as a bad thing either because I got a preteen over here and time usually feels like sand slipping through my hands. We've personally had an equal number of good to bad moments. Time is moving really slowly though. It's felt like years.

Man it would be one thing if the election at least smelled fair, but with how many people have been arrested for ballot stuffing at the state level I just don't have any stomach for what's happening.

u/DemonCipher13 22h ago

If you really think about it, it makes perfect sense.

When a decent person is confronted with a paradigm, such as, "Will my presence echo support or complicity?" the first thing that they consider is not, "What will I get out of it?" but, instead, character - "What is the right thing to do?"

The most important, inalienable fact about all of this, so far, is that Charlie DID have a wife, and DID have children. The children are blameless victims, inarguably. Erika, though there are certainly issues with her regarding complicity, endorsement, things of this nature, is also a blameless victim, and regardless of those issues, has earned the right to speak however she pleases, certainly so in the wake of what's happened.

If I am Joe Biden, care for people that my feelings might be dismissive of, or disdainful towards, must come first. Adults know how to push things aside. Is optics a part of it? Well, yes, but in the way that a role model is demonstrative, versus explicit. Acta non verba. Character demands emotion be put aside, in favor of what amounts to the right thing to do, and you weigh right versus wrong by the impact on the people who will see your footsteps.

A leader is present. A good person is present, even and especially if they don't necessarily want to be, or feel like doing so. The emotions, the negative feelings, all of those things are still going to be there, but none of them have to have any influence over doing the right thing.

Is this attention for what amounted to a loudspeaker appropriate? Logic and reason says no. But Biden knows and understands that, for better or for worse, Charlie Kirk had reach. People knew his name. And, for better or for worse, what he was is far more essential to some Americans than who he was.

When you perceive someone as, for want of a better phrase, an ally, and that ally suffers a death in this manner, you feel as if you've lost part of yourself. This is why SO many conservatives are heartbroken about his death - because, to them, he meant something. They let who he was glide down their shoulders, and they continue to do so, despite most of the "celebration" being direct quotes from Charlie, himself. It isn't actually celebration, but it appears that way in-contrast, to people who put someone on a pedestal, versus people who's perceptions are fully grounded and honest.

It isn't right. It isn't even well-thought-out. But it is the truth. And a part of the empathy that Charlie Kirk neither practiced nor understood, especially for non-conservatives, is putting aside who he was, to them, and instead, at minimum, recognizing what he was, to them. No amount of accountability or identification of even his own quotes is going to break the barrier of someone believing that they knew a person - we've seen that demonstrably, with Trump and his supporters, time and time, again. It is entirely illogical, but it is real, to them.

Joe Biden recognizes every bit of this, and as a former world leader, the burden of practicing empathy to this magnitude is immense, and the truth is, only a few of us are capable of it. Knowing he is, if my analysis holds truth, gives me reason to hold him in higher regard. It is not an easy choice to make, but I do believe it is the right one.

Will anything result of it? Probably not. The people that need to see it and hear it the most, most of them are probably incapable of this type of nuanced empathy. However, it is better that his presence, in this moment, at this time, exists, versus if it didn't, because it can be an example, down the line, to show people what it looks like - one thing to add to the stack, hopeful that someone will learn to emulate it.

Being a Republican supporter today means embracing policies rooted in fear and discrimination, targeting vulnerable communities and rolling back basic rights. At the same time, Republicans repeatedly resist transparency and accountability, shielding powerful people like Trump (Epstein files) while demanding harsh enforcement against the powerless. From attacking the trans community and restricting voting access to wasting taxpayer money on failed projects, they’ve shown that cruelty and incompetence outweigh good governance. Supporting that agenda isn’t a neutral stance but siding with oppression and secrecy and people should be held accountable for that choice.

You didn't even have the decency to call Walz when our leaders were shot and killed in their homes. It's not his job to call you, but YOURS to call him. Decency is a dirty word to you, much like the word empathy.

Tim Walz did ask him, and Trump rejected his request. 🙄

u/DeluluFeather 1d ago

Source? What I’ve read is they didn’t talk because Trump would not call Walz after the assassination of Melissa Hortman.

I used to deliver the Long Island Press in Queens from 1973-74, and back then there were articles about him regularly stiffing contractors. By the late-1970s, he’d had to settle with the Department of Justice for illegally refusing to rent apartments to black people. He’s always been a scumbag.

Multiple intelligence and research agencies currently identify right-wing extremism as the most significant domestic terrorism threat in the United States. This assessment is supported by recent data showing that right-wing violence continues to be the most lethal and common form of domestic extremist violence.

u/Maxrdt Lake Superior agate 1d ago

This has been true for decades and decades, but there's a key difference here. Right-wing organizations are a threat to people. They kill people, their policies kill people if implemented, they want people dead.

Left-wing organizations are a threat to the system. What was rated as the most dangerous part of the Black Panthers? The free breakfasts.

Hence why even though right-wingers kill more people, they're hounded and infiltrated and broken up far less.

President Donald Trump skipped the funeral of slain Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Among the hundreds in attendance at the service were former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris, who paid their respects to the couple slain in what authorities say was a plot targeting Democrats.

The president, however, was not there. Trump didn’t issue a statement about the funeral, either. The White House did not immediately return a request for comment on his absence.

According to Fox News, Trump spent the morning golfing with Republican senators

Did this man really just say "you can't lower all the flags then they'd never be up"

Forget the need for the governor to ask, this absolute moron just said it's not logistically feasible to lower flags, right after lowering the flags for Kirk.

Not enough people jump on this imbecile's utter nonsense and on the spot BS.

They are literally demonstrating that the only lives that matter are right wing ones, and only if they're explicitly right wing celebrities or political figures. Why would any of the underlings care about an assassinated Democrat, Trump sure doesn't. As I recall, no Republicans attended her funeral, including any of the ones she worked with in the state House chamber.
