    Does anyone else find it wild that the first confirmation of his death (apart from anyone who had eyes and saw the wound) comes from the President of the United States? Who did not extend the same formality to the lawmaker assassinated in Minnesota just a few months ago?

      It’s funny how it’s always Trump says this, Trump say that. However when he is gone someday, what will the party have left? And what to say then? Everyone will have been conditioned to Trump being the mouthpiece, not the next Rando, or GOP. They are short-sighted as usual.

        My guess is Barron. If he’s trying to imitate NK, establishing a dynasty and getting rid of elections would be the starting point. And with all the talk of a 3rd term… my guess is that’s the goal. No dictator lasts forever, so ensuring a favorable transfer of power is vital. And if trying to deify yourself, the next closest thing is your progeny.

        Our best hope is the GOP imploding due to the massive power vacuum Trump’s death will create. There is a lot of discontent among Republicans right now, they’re all just too afraid (or still too loyal) to Trump to oppose him directly. But Vance? He has the charisma and popularity of a wet paper towel. There will be no hesitation throwing him under the bus.

      Allegedly.

      Someone allegedly murdered him.

      Kirk was open and proud that it was his belief to live in a society with guns was desirable even if it meant people were gonna get shot.

      He thought it was a good trade off.

      Now a gun went off. And Charlie Kirk is dead.

      This is America for all we know a cop was standing behind him and mistook a shadow for a Black man.

      Don’t fucking jump to he was murdered, he was shot.

        Was he shot? Maybe his blood was too embarrassed to be part of him any longer and decided to move out of its own accord.

      Actually “He died” uses the active voice, whereas “He was murdered” uses the passive voice.

      Its the correct wording for when someone dies while being treated in the hospital. The initial reports were “shot and in critical condition” so now the headline is of course that he ended up dying.

        That’s the whole thing about passive voice, it isn’t incorrect. People rightfully criticize passive voice when reporting on police murdering people. Same thing here.

    Just for the record, this was his response to the attack on Paul Pelosi:

    “Why has he not been bailed out?” Kirk said Monday on his podcast of the man who allegedly beat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi‘s husband Paul with a hammer last Friday. “By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out, I bet his bail’s like thirty or forty thousand bucks.” With a smirk, he added: “Bail him out and then go ask him some questions.”

He convinced me to buy a steel bucket, basically anything that looks like loot from that game. Now I’m working on an old lunch box for him, in vault-tec style but I have to do it surreptitiously because it’s a surprise.
