Last Sunday, a 40 year old Michigan man named Thomas Jacob Sanford rammed his f*cking pick-truck in a Latter-Day Saints church in Grand Blanc, MI, got out, opened fire, killed four people and set the church on fire:

"In recent weeks, locals said, Sanford began behaving oddly – nearly running over a longtime friend with his truck in a seeming joke, asking a local political candidate questions about his positions on guns and then openly declaring his hatred for the LDS church, even saying that “Mormons are the Antichrist.”

According to people who knew him:

"[...] he “harbored unkind feelings toward certain groups” and “definitely talked about groups of people in ways that weren’t acceptable.”

"[...] you couldn’t miss [his] truck,” Allen said. Sometimes, he said, Sanford would “switch one of his [american] flags out for a ‘F*** Biden’ flag.”

"A Google Street View photo from June 2025 shows a “Trump Vance” campaign sign on his home’s fence, and a social media photo from 2019 showed Sanford wearing a Trump shirt."

He also was a veteran of the Marine Corps who was deployed during the Iraq War. He was an avid hunter and outdoorsman. Or, in other words, a typical libtard.

Unsurprinsingly, MAGA is still busy trying to milk every last drop they can from the assassination of Charlie K-K-Kirk. Sorry, I'm just stuttering here. Trump barely mentionned it and offered his usual "it's wrong but I don't really care and I can't exploit it".

So, will MAGA be declared a terrorist organization? Provided, of course, that you consider the fact that Antifa and the "left" in general has been declared public no. 1 following the murder of one conservative man by a white boy from a conservative family whose motives and allegiances are still unclear.

Will MAGA fill another stadium to mourn for these four victims of political violence?

I have known my friend Rich since 3rd grade. We grew up together but took different career paths. I went to college and got a degree in business. I got an alright job, but nothing to get excited about. Rich screwed around. He took the first job that was offered to him as a favor from a friend. He hated it and complained every day. By his own admission, he was terrible and close to being fired a few times. He did the bare minimum and cut corners whenever possible. He was also one foot out the door always. Then a different company was in desperate need of a logistics manager, and they did not know his work ethic. All they knew was he had enough experience, and he knew all the lingo to ace the job interview. By his own admission, he conned them into believing he was something he isn't.
I was happy 4 him. I believed he would straighten up, and it would be good for him. He didn't change and was a terrible manager, his words. He would talk badly about his employees to me and curse them for doing things he would do himself. He would hide and sleep on the job or get caught up on Netflix, or take an hour of work and turn it into his whole day. Still, he complained constantly and talked about how bad the company is. He felt justified because they were terrible in his eyes. He also constantly complained about leaving.
Now, he has lucked into the same opportunity. A new company is looking for a senior logistics manager, and he fits their needs based on his experience and his LinkedIn profile, which is made entirely of lies. He was just talking about quitting and, and now he is acting like he is a prestigious senior manager. He admits that this is undeserving, but he will still expect me to make a big deal of it and take him out for a drink. I don't think he at all deserves this, and I am kind of disgusted that he keeps lucking into these promotions. But what are my options? Do I have to just pretend to be happy for him, or can I get away with just a congratulations and drop it?
