Last time I called Rittenhouse a murderer here, one of his inbred cult wanted to argue. Let's see if that happens again:

Kyle Rittenhouse is a murderer.

Kyle Rittenhouse is a murderer.

Who is Kyle? Did you mean Kyla?

Sorry, I will show myself out.

He's definitely a murderer, so that's a thing.

Somehow this is a controversial opinion in America.

Conservatives last week: "Kyle Rittenhouse was acting in self-defense and should be applauded for protecting the white race from BLM violence."

Conservatives this week: "Kyle Rittenhouse is just one more example of the extremist violence in the LGBTQ community."

We have always been at war with Eureast Asia.

This is honest to god the funniest thing happening in the Magaverse right now. It's like they got their marching orders mixed up and their daily five minutes of hate that were supposed to be directed at Imane Khelif got swapped for Kyle Rittenhouse at the last minute and nobody questions the logic of it.

Wow they turned on him even quicker than I would have expected. If he'd showed a hint of spine and didn't cave immediately it might have infinitesimally moved my respect for him above 0.

The kid will make the right choice on something one day. Or he won't. Meh.

[-] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 72 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

He had a bunch of what I'm assuming were paid appearances canceled immediately.

Since he didn't finish high school and turned down college scholarships, it was pretty easy to bring him to heel.

This piece of shit swirled himself to all the other pieces of shit, then forgot he was also shit in the shit stew.

So Conservatives have been glorifying a Trans person, inviting them to speak, and had no idea this entire time?

We don't claim him.

It’s like Nazi Germany calling anything they didn’t like “Jewish”

Dude does look a little like a lady … sorta.

But seriously “transgendered psy-op and Sandy Hook crisis actor”?!? You can’t make this shit up. It’s like every day I’m reading /r/nottheonion.

These people would murder and eat their own children if they thought they weren’t MAGA enough. Totally not a cult /s

Why do I have to look at that murderers smirking face? He's scum. Who gives a shit about him? He should be ignored.

If Trump wins, I was honestly scared of shenanigans like putting Rittenhouse on the supreme Court or something equally delusional. I hate the kid with a passion and he represents a huge part of what I hate about the right. Seeing him get away with murder was a real gut punch, I'm happy to see him bite the hand that feeds so to speak.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I support my decision and I make no take backs.

Narrator : That, too, was a lie.
