he’s so desperate to become relevant
relevance is overrated
Being relevant justifies his killings. He needs to feel relevant because without it he’s just someone who killed people, and that’s a much heavier weight to carry. Poor guy is going to have to live the rest of his life being a murderer that nobody likes, waaah 😭
Honestly I think he’s just trying to roll his notoriety, fame into easy money & a cushy career. His conscience is clear. This is about money. Occam’s razor.
He’s absolutely building a portfolio to eventually become a regular guest on Fox.
He was relevant there for a hot minute when he spoke out against Trump, but now he’s doing whatever he can to get back in MAGA’s good graces.
Getting a real job is yucky and un-american
He’s has 2 civil lawsuits pending against him. Depending on the outcome, whatever assets he has may be taken away and wages garnished for the rest of his life.
No it is not a threat. To tell somebody that you’re willing to defend yourself and your rights with violence is only a threat to those who will take them. It’s a secondary reaction not a primary action.
I promise it would be a threat in your eyes if it were someone you liked. You troglodytes are the biggest hypocrites on earth.
I’m not one for violating others. It wouldn’t apply.
Can’t be a threat when you own a handgun. Only absolute fucking cowardly pussies own handguns, so they’re no threat
Simple logic
No one came to take anything away from him. The only rights infringed are the people whose live he ended prematurely. Stop your bullshit.
I want my cake back.
Ah yes, everyone remembers the Cake massacre of Columbine in 1999…
Would you think the same if it was a comment about taking women’s conception rights/bodily autonomy? The whole “handmaid’s tale” thing is exactly this. Everything is the handmaid’s tale when it comes to women’s rights, but these rights are just problematic. I want women to have rights, and Americans to have gun rights. Rights for everyone, tyranny for no one.
Would you think the same if it was a comment about taking women’s conception rights/bodily autonomy?
No, because Women’s right are good. Taking away some of them is bad. The point your missing is I don’t want you to have guns. Any argument you make about “taking away some rights is a step towards taking away more rights” is going to be met with me saying “Good.”
None of this is an argument that it is good for you to have guns. I find it interesting that the comic equates guns to cake, something that is a luxury that serves no purpose other than the users enjoyment. If someone takes away all your cake your not suddenly living in some hellscape, you’re just not as happy as you would be with cake. If you own guns just because it makes you happy, you are exactly the type of person who should not be allowed to own guns.
That’s what we call mask off. If the gun grabbers wouldn’t be so sneaky and two-faced we’d have a real outcome based on what the public wants, not “won’t someone PLEASE think of the children” emotional arguments hiding the real goal.
I think most of the public doesn’t want to worry about being shot.
we’d have a real outcome based on what the public wants
https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/26/politics/cnn-poll-gun-laws/index.html
Overall, 64% say they favor stricter gun control laws, with 36% opposed
That’s what we call mask off
What mask? I never claimed otherwise.
“won’t someone PLEASE think of the children” emotional arguments hiding the real goal.
What do you think is the reason for the “real goal”?
When did women’s right shoot up a school the last time?
Ironically it’s probably because of all the unwanted children due to legal or cultural prohibitions on abortion that cause the misery needed to lead to school shootings. Aside from that, people sucking does not mean I lose my rights. Tell the media to stop reporting gang shootings near schools as school shootings and drive-bys as mass shootings. Tell the media to stop publicizing the shooters and making them “interesting” to the public. Lots of that shit is copycats.
You don’t have the right to make a nuclear bomb in your backyard, either.
When they passed laws against drinking and driving, people complained that the government was taking away their rights. Same with requiring you to wear a seatbelt.
And make him cry like the bitch he is? Pass
Crying is only for little bitches.
Hey, Tampon? Tim?
Yeah, to me it reads like wee Kyle was just being polite and offering Tim Walz some of it’s spare feminine hygiene products.
It’s really sad to me that one of the most powerful tools in the republican campaign’s arsenal is juvenile nicknames for their opponents. An actual Trump campaigning innovation: Lying Ted, crooked Hillary, sleepy Joe, etc. And it works. Like really, really well.
Turns out many voters are swayed by elementary school level debate tactics.
It’s not sad. It’s by design.
Same thing as “orange man bad”. It takes away critical thinking and simplifies the issue for their little brain.
That makes sense though, given how many voters have an elementary school level maturity and education.
Any voter that stupid is no longer a voter, they are a drone. There’s no choice in the vote, they are reacting to basic stimulus, like a pillbug avoiding light.
It seems like only one party wants and creates drones.
Maybe the emoji he chose was a water gun, but the app he uses shows a real gun. 🔫
Still should come in for some questioning.
Funny you mention that X actually recently swapped the squirt gun back to a real gun.
Imaginary fights in their head. What a sad life.
Imagine just living like this and fuming.
Not imaginary for this bitch. He crossed state lines to commit murder.
Weird thing to say to a retired command sergeant major. I bet he didn’t even intentionally cross state lines to murder someone either.
We are witnessing an idiot’s grift. There is no other place in the world for a Rittenhouse other than prison.
I’m Australian so being an english speaker on the internet I have an opinion on American politics because no matter how hard I try to escape it I cant. So if I have to hear about it incessantly Im going to keep throwing my half informed opinion in.
But FUCK ME is the Harris/Walz ticket well thought out. You have a sitting Dem VP who is female and a POC with a history of being “tough on crime” and a male white late middle aged former high ranking NCO veteran with a history of some super liberal policies in his midwestern home state…
The big, glaring thing they missed is that nobody really likes Harris. She did poorly in the primaries, had a terrible approval rating as VP, and her platform is basically Biden’s, and he had a pretty low approval rating as well. She has “diversity hire” written all over her.
That said, she ticks a lot of boxes and Americans tend to have pretty short memories, so I think she has a fighting chance. If she had a stronger campaign when she ran for President, she’d be a lock-in. I think she needs to sound like Obama to win the election.
I mean, absolutely fuck Rittenhouse to death, but isn’t it pretty likely that a retired sergeant major DID in fact cross state lines to murder?
It’s not murder when it’s Desert Storm
But that’s legal murder. Wait, they both committed legal murder then. Nevermind
MAYBE we just don’t kill at all? I don’t know, I’m just spitballing.
Tough guy
I swear he has such a punchable face.
War crime worthy, ngl.
I’m not touching him with my bare hands.
Can I have your turn then?
I’ll punch him for both of us - I work in the trades, I’m used to industrial strength hand cleaners.
He’ll kill you and become even more of a hero
I doubt he can squeeze a single orange on his own.
Did you forget the /s?
He looks like a baby that just ate a lemon wedge for the first time.
Remember when this tough guy got bullied on the internet?
Rittenhouse is a murderer.
Disagree, all three counts were legitimate self-defense. Two people tried to grab his gun, and a third pointed a gun at him, and each of those are clear-cut cases of self-defense.
The real issue here is that he shouldn’t have been there with a rifle in the first place. But if you have a firearm and someone tries to grab it, it’s your responsibility to maintain control of that firearm. I don’t think he is a murderer, but he was (and probably still is) an irresponsible kid who shouldn’t have unsupervised possession of a firearm.
He went there looking for an excuse to commit self defense. He’s a fucking murderer.
Again, putting yourself into a dangerous situation isn’t a crime.
I don’t think he’s a good person and he’s certainly not a hero, but I also don’t think he’s a murderer. He’s a minor who should not have been armed in that situation. But once he was in that situation, his actions were justified self-defense.
Again, putting yourself into a dangerous situation isn’t a crime.
Going there with the intention of killing people is. Which Rittenhouse did.
You can’t pre-meditate self-defense. You can go somewhere with the expectation that you’ll need to defend yourself, which is dumb, but not a crime. Planning to hurt someone is very different from trying to put yourself into a situation where hurting someone would be justified. The first is a crime, the second is just being stupid.
For example, look at those people who do 1st amendment “audits” who basically go to places where they know the police would be called with the hope that the police will violate their rights (e.g. filming at a police station). That’s not a crime, but it’s usually a waste of time, but it sometimes provides a valuable service if it creates a situation where bad cops break the law on camera and get held accountable. But whether it provides a valuable service or not isn’t particularly relevant here, what’s relevant is that it’s not a crime.
And that’s what happens here. Kyle Rittenhouse is one of my least favorite types of people, but I firmly believe that he was justified in using his firearm in self-defense. That doesn’t make him a hero or even a good person (I think he’s a terrible person), but it does mean he’s not a murderer. Murder is the unlawful killing of another person, and his actions were lawful self-defense.
You can’t pre-meditate self-defense.
Of course you can. You just go somewhere intending to get in a fight and kill your opponent.
Which is what Rittenhouse did.
Sure, but he didn’t start the fight, he just placed himself into a position where a fight was likely to occur. If you start a fight (e.g. with fighting words), then you can be charged with a crime, potentially murder. That doesn’t seem to be the case, so just placing yourself into a tense situation with the hope that someone else will initiate isn’t a crime in itself.
Threatening to kill again
Go ahead and take it. He’ll just cry and whine to the 2A nuts.
This is Kyle’s full video on the matter:
He can’t get a job so all he has left is being a grifter.
“Bite my lip and play with my hair” lol
hahaha that’s probably my favorite line
Don’t give him views.
trust me, you’ll be into it.
Not actually him, don’t worry
He looks like such a soft, little cupcake. Why do all these new Republicans look like they’re wearing guyliner?
Nothing wrong with that BTW, just noticing a trend. Are they not getting enough sunlight in the closet?

One can only pound so many McDonald cheeseburgers in accordance with their identity before it begins to have an effect.
Have you not seen how their leader looks? He’s a pudgy bag of fat, and malice.
So they call him Tampon Tim for having provided sanitary products? Do they think this is somehow insulting or belittling? I’d call myself that and act like it’s my superhero name any day. WTF kind of mindset are these people in?
They hate women.
If you help women, you are worthy of scorn. You might as well be a woman if you like them so much, amirite?
He should just take that name and run with it haha
He is going to stop the red wave.
Free IUDs! Hell ya.
Oh fucking bravo.
Isn’t red associated with communism in the USA? It just gets more confusing.
Red is the color of the Republican/Conservative party in the US
Yeah, but since 2000, it’s been the republican color. We were pretty over the whole communism thing at that moment in time.
Valid. It still confuses me regularly though, because I remember “the reds” to be the enemy of the USA.
Having said that, it’s probably true either way.
The GOP wants the control and power that Russia had but, rather than the means of production being owned by the state, they want to keep it owned by the rich and powerful (aka oligarchs). So they want fascism but with all the totalitarianism that Russia had.
So basically they are the new version of the Reds that you remember.Sounds like Nazi Germany to me. Granted I may not have a nuanced understanding of the economic system used by the Nazi party at that time.
The Nazis were definitely fascist .
Can someone PLEASE make a Tampon Tim shirt already??? I’m ready for the “FUCK Joe Biden” and “Say no to the ho” crowd to tell me my shirt is inappropriate around children.
I don’t think we should encourage stigmatizing periods
i have been told that they are also available in the boys bathroom. Having feminine products placed the boys bathroom confuses / emasculates them.
The same group that removes their children from what limited sex education. Same guys that don’t wipe their ass because it is too gay
I can understand how that would be confusing to someone, but access to a place where you can change a child’s diaper, or get a necessary product for your daughter, should not be exclusive to places that are designated for women. Every conservative father should be able to relate to that. But I obviously am unable to relate myself.
I would imagine a conservative man does not deal with dirty diapers in public, possibly not in private either. The child would remain with the mother until toilet trained.
The general theme of the conservative meta is not understanding that others have needs different than their own.
That’s not the conversation, as I’ve heard it. The real rub is tampons in the boy’s bathrooms, in schools, for 4th graders through high schoolers. Not involving diaper change stations or grabbing necessary product for daughters.
The relevant text of the law is
The products must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school district.
so, I think “boys bathroom” only in the case where a school has trans-boy without puberty blockers or hormone therapy. Clearly a very edge case, but right-wing propaganda depends on blowing up rare events or special circumstances, pretending they’re happening everywhere, all the time, and therefore an immediate threat to the way their audience has always done things.
Remember when they were trying to say there was kitty litter boxes for the “Furry kids who identified as cats”
It was only in schools in one specific area, and in order to have a way for students to shit during a school shooting because they were THAT common
I think I can understand how it would be confusing to someone to have female sanitary products in a male bathroom at a school. I can understand that these people feel like this is part of what influences youth to develop a certain way, and they want to prevent this development at all costs.
But it is really hard to stomach that there are people who think the existence of a tampon in someone’s surrounding makes them question their gender, and removing the tampon restores order somehow.
I know if I were a kid, I’d just be confused but that’s about it. I mean, worst case scenario this is just an excuse for schools to double up on tampons and have more supplies for female students, a demographic that often has its needs ignored.
They never progressed or have regressed to a middle school mentality. Literally an insult a kid who just learned about and is skeeved by menstruation would use.
He really should start calling himself that at events and interviews, they’ll all stop calling him that immediately.
Absolutely, just own up to it. Have the interviewers ask him why that’s become his nickname, he can share some background, maybe some anecdotes if he has any. Suddenly, Tampon Tim is a badge of honor.
Hopefully not a red-badge
Kyle Rittenhouse has menstruating vagina confirmed.
Shittenhouse makes an excellent use case for drone strikes, I have to admit.
