Top Trump administration officials used Charlie Kirk’s podcast on Monday to threaten a governmental crackdown on left-wing organizations in the name of the slain conservative activist. Administration officials who appeared on the podcast, guest-hosted by Vice President JD Vance, made broad and unsubstantiated claims about their political opponents and alleged that liberal groups were responsible for Mr. Kirk’s death — even though investigators have said they believe that the suspect acted alone.

    I read somewhere (possibly here?) That the US is heading towards their own version of The Troubles. I think it could be a likely scenario at this point.

    I saw the movie civil war a while back, and I think it was one of the scariest films I’ve seen in quite some time.

      Might have been me. I’ve been saying it for a while. We are not geographically divided enough for a civil war to look anything like the last one did. It can only look more like the Troubles.

        Could have been! Yeah it’s…not looking great. I hope things can get to a better place without going down that route
