You know what's REALLY senseless? Eulogising Kirk as if he were some sort of decent human.

Charlie Kirk was a piece of shit.

Charlie Kirk got rich preaching hate.

Charlie Kirk got rich preaching murder.

Charlie Kirk got rich preaching genocide.

Charlie Kirk got rich going onto college campuses and deluding young, unformed minds into thinking that CHRISTIAN WHITE FASCISM was the way to go.

Fuck Charlie Kirk. He got what he preached.

Democrats, and those who love democracy, (and ESPECIALLY if you're old enough to remember what Nazis did, and what they ARE) if you can't tell the truth about him and instead feel that you have to eulogize him, SHUT THE FUCK UP.

And if you're NOT old enough to have lived through WWII, or lost family members in Auschwitz like I did, or have had family members or teachers who lived through the camps, like I did, before you say ONE FUCKING WORD, go watch Schindler's List, or maybe, The Pianist, or any WWII movie, and tell me who YOU rooted for.

Charlie Kirk rooted for the Nazis.

I sat, and tried to think of something to say about Charlie Kirk's murder. But I've got nothing. I just don't care that he was murdered. I'm sorry his family has to go through this, and I'm sorry for the manner of his death. But that he's no longer on this plane of existence - I've got nothing. I do keep circling back to the school shooting in Evergreen, though. Which makes sense, since I worked for over 30 years in a high school in Colorado. I remember those post-Columbine days well. We were coming up with active shooter procedures on the fly. I'm thinking of all the Evergreen students and staff today, and of all the souls lost on Sept. 11th, 2001. Charlie Kirk? Not so much.

Note 18: It turns out George W. Bush could have spoken out about lots of things. But he chose to wait until Charlie Kirk was killed.

What an irrelevant piece of trash the Bush's are. Let's start with the Brookes brothers riots, one of the despicable corrupt rulings on the unelected members of the So called "supreme court", the totally bogus war they started, waterboarding, Karl f-ing Rove, Dick Cheney....and oh yeah, and remember Katrina? "You're dong a great job Brownie." and on and on and on....

Holding a grudge, you bet.

And wait, I thought the Republicans renamed today..

"The Hero Charlie Kirk memorial assassination Day..." ??? No not yet? Just wait.

It was clear when trumpedo was elected in 2016 that he was opening the floodgates to normalize hatred, bigotry and violence.

TY Jude. awesome tribute for such a brave young man. Watching the planes hit still make me tear up.

When it happened I couldn't bring myself to watch till many years later.

Such devastation is so hard to watch.

Everyone in the Center and on the Left are rushing to say "no excuse for political violence" when we don't even know if Kirk's murder was an act of political violence, meanwhile the Right is using it as a catalyst to call for political violence.

Murder is bad, but trump and his maga cult incite violence. J/6 recall issues?

Ezra Klein is a freaking blowhard. Joe McCarthy was doing politics right I suppose...

trump and his weakness by stupidity as putin threatens Finland and Poland and bibi bombs everything that isn't a speed boat.

Children being gunned down is not news any longer to maga republicans. maga don't give a damn about trump's best pal and his chil sex trafficking, and giving maxwell a sweetheart deal for convincing girls to have sex with a pedophile.

The grotesque trump will use the Kirk murder to cover up his epstein involvement and his fear of putin. trump will arrest more brown children and let putin slaughter more Ukrainian children and bib slaughter more Gazans. .Oh, ad as you mentioned, the economy is going to hell but trump will have a harder time hiding from that destruction.

And screw elon. Oh, wait, Grok is already doing that to him...

The duimbasses of the Right are going to turn POS Charlie Kirk into a "hero" - the kind of "hero" the Nazis turned SA stormtrooper/street thug/drug dealer/pimp Horst Wessel into. Dilbert's already announced at the 9/11 memorial in DC that he's awarding Herr Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, guaranteeing it has no further value (as if it had any after he gave one to Rush Limpdick).

As the only one here who's written paranoid thriller screenplays, I'm going to make a prediction, based on the facts: the assassin was very good - professional "Jackal" level - to get a clean headshot in the carotid from 200 yards - Kirk was on his way to wherever before the body hit the ground. Then there was an open parking lot right behind the building 2 minutes from I-5 and then 5 minutes to the Provo airport. Where 9 minutes after the shooting, a private jet took off 4 minutes before the airport closed. It headed south, and went off the radar over the Utah-Arizona border. It reappeared on the radar an hour later on its return flight to Provo. Nobody has done anything about that.

So here's my prediction: this was done by an assassin and comrades someone very rich and high up on the Right paid for. Right wing badasses are the ones who think like what's in the paragraph above - and who have the resources to pull it off. Nobody on the Left does that or has that.

Why? Well, let's start with the "discovery" of the murder weapon - still with ammo in it? Yeah, right, a guy who can do all the above wouldn't leave ammo unless it's part of the scheme. Especially since the ammo is allegedly covered in pro-trans and pro-LGBT words and symbols? C'mon! Don't piss on my head and tell me it's rain.

This is a "false flag" that gives them the opportunity to do what Hitler did after the Reichstag Fire. They had to take out one of their own - an obvious mook with a following of idiots, who's more useful dead than alive - to make it "real," and these guys are cold enough to do it.

And yes, I don't like the fact that this "story pitch" sounds more reasonable each time I read it over.

Yea, I’ve always had suspicions of muskrat; but screwing his own AI bot wasn’t one of them 🤣 gross 🤮 I’m really disgusted that this regime wants to give Ashli Babbitt military honors 😡 She climbed through a broken window of the capital, was ordered to stop but chose not to listen. She sealed her own fate. What’s even worse, they paid her family millions to reward her for doing this horrendous act 🤬🤬 it’s just wrong and disgraceful….

Yup, the press is still doing it (this time to Sen Warren) - Dems have to be perfect, and repubs can say and do whatever TF they want, like having one of their followers attempt to murder 2 state representatives in MN and act like it never happened.

At a Turning Point event in Salt Lake City in April 2023, Kirk said, “It’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.” from the Independent/UK. I have no comment...and no sympathy.

I am sickened by the gun violence in this country, no one deserves to be murdered. I am sickened by the fact that the President of the United States has to keep showing us how evil and despicable he is. We are in a very bad place in our country and fear we have yet to see bottom.

When one side starts kicking the other side in the nuts, the only way to survive is to play by the same rules. Otherwise you're just a bunch of people with principles laying on the ground holding your nuts while they laugh and kick again.

I hope that clears it up.
