"But authorities say that gun-related crimes only gained attention because they occurred in close succession."

Or maybe because people are killed and injured.

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school - England World Cup

Chomper Higgot · Tuesday at 12:18 AM1 day

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school, seemingly more interested in football than education. I wonder if these are the same kids the rightwing pearl clutchers insist are being discriminated against in schools? https://www.theguardian.com/education/2026/jul/06/thousands-of-children-absent-from-school-in-wake-of-overnight-england-world-cup-win

Trump has re-defined corruption

spidermike007 · July 1Jul 1

No other president has ever used his office to accumulate the vast amounts of wealth that Trump has gained in the past year and a half. And most unfortunately as is the case with many of his policies, his own supporters suffered the most. He is likely the most corrupt president in American history by 300 fold. And many of his supporters don't even seem to care as they have become numb to his misdeeds, and still believe his lies. A large chunk of the $2 billion haul President Trump took in last

trumps poo flown back from turkey

3NUMBAS · 12 hours ago12 hr

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again. Everything that the charismatic 80-year-old relieves his body of will not touch foreign soil. Instead, it'll be collected in his personal toilet system, watched hawk-like by accompanying members of the Secret Service with pegs on their nose. But what in God's name is this all about? https://w

Mitch McConnel, Is It Hot Where You Are?

BLMFem · 13 hours ago13 hr

It turns out ole' Mitch is in a tight spot, and the GOP are doing everything they can to avoid having to run a special election to replace him, fearing that a certain Thomas Massie might decide to run. So they're pulling out all the stops to make it sound that he's not so far gone that they're legally required to do it.

NB Thanks for the psycho babble -- I don't know that anyone has seriously suggested Carman is a serial killer. This from 3 days ago: Accused murderer Simon Peter Carman spent much of the past decade isolating himself from many of his friends and family in Australia, according to those who knew him. The ABC understands Mr Carman had little contact with his parents and siblings, and preferred to spend his time in Thailand, where he's been living since late last year. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-04/who-is-simon-carman-thai-teenager-murder-case/106857974

I thought I had seen it all when it came to virtue signalling by the op. This takes the cake. Of course what would it be without a right wing extremism thrown in for good luck. Lifelong consequences.......get a grip.

LOL! You could fit all Biden gaffes---which the fascist right beat to death, almost as bad as they went after Obama for apparently violating the 11th Commandment for wearing a tan suit---in a ten second video, even if played in slow motion. Trump's gaffes would be a series, with more sequels than StarWars and Harry Potter combined. "The Islamic Republic of Japan" "4 billion followers on TicTac" "Let me ask President Putin here" (actually, Zelenskyy is taller than Putin) And my absolute all-time fav: "Rwanda...7 million dead....machetes, machetes everywhere....but I stopped that" Trump has degraded into turnip state, just barely better than Mitch McConnell's ratatouille state.
