The Doom Thread: Gloom, Despair, Agony

TL;DW

 

Two Dem State Reps shot and killed. Two men dressed as cops shot them at their door.


Now this is Gloom and Doom

edit: He might make it.

 

Apparently the killer had a list of targeted lawmakers. Horrific.


Two Minnesota lawmakers have been shot in their separate homes.

One of the lawmakers – Democratic state representative Melissa Hortman – has died, as has her husband, Mark, the state’s governor, Tim Walz, confirmed at a press conference on Saturday. He said the shooting “appears to be a politically motivated assassination”.

Democratic state senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were both shot multiple times and are out of surgery, and Walz said he was “cautiously optimistic” both will survive.

 

More details.....He was dressed a a police officer and driving a police car.

Ugh, that's horrible

 

One thing that is unclear to me, as far as I understand it, the police advice now in dealing with police showing up at people (especially elected officials) homes in the area, they should only answer the door if multiple officers call upon them. How can they be sure at this point of the investigation it was just two guys and not three or more?

 

Depressing.

 

Hopefully the right cops are killed in response

 

They have identified the killer. Any guesses to his political leanings? Nah, of course not - it was obvious from the get-go.

If vancortland666 isn’t a reliable news source, I don’t wanna live anymore.

 

Because he didn’t get far down the list?

******** you. You come in here all the time and accuse regular posters of advocating violence. Get the ******** out of here now and stay the ******** out.

 

+1000

Get f********ed Germy.

 

My doom levels are high today. I am in intense shock. Numb really. It is as bad right now or worse than I imagined.

 

Not to diminish your feelings, but wow, you were so much more optimistic than I was. This is not nearly as bad right now as I anticipated. That said, it's bad and will only get worse.

 

See? Catastrophizer.

embrace the numb

trust me

 

It is the rate at which we got here. And the doom of feeling it will only accelerate.

 

I made sure to leave before inauguration for a reason.

 

I feel Sounders, Jitty, and I were all very clear about what was going to happen.

 

To quote the GQP and pose a question to our fascist DEI poster that DK insists gets to stick around:

Why haven't you condemned the shooter? Why haven't you apologized for supporting their terroristic beliefs that lead to this? Why do you hate white people?

This fascist is arresting judges, Senators, assassinating politicians, and deploying the military against civilians for no reason. Go **** yourself.

 

I can’t see the post you’re responding to, so I don’t know what the context is or why you seem so angry with me.

In any case, my advice would be to not let various opinions on the internet get to you. Have a good weekend.

Hard to take advice from someone that thought voting for a narcissistic treasonous rapist that has a history of bankruptcy with zero morals was a good idea.

 

He doesn’t have to take it, but it’s true. As far as you, you’d probably be a much happier person if you didn’t follow politics every day.
