If I read one more hypocritical, sanctimonious statement by a journalist or public official about the death of a lowlife hatemonger dirtbag named Charlie Kirk, I'm going to quit Substack and cancel every subscription I've got. Those holier than thou statements are nothing but self serving drivel. And the sheer volume of the coverage this dead asshole is getting is disgusting as it occurs in the wake of yet another school shooting. The priority is clear - clicks, advertising sales, TV ratings. Fucking vultures pretending to be horrified by the death of a pathetic POS who made millions by spreading hate make me sick.

The flip side of this argument is that if we did exactly what trump wanted, the right would be nice to us. But the Hispanics who proudly voted for him got deported. The time has come to secede.

OT

I just watched a new neighbor arrive home and walk straight to the dumpster with a set of keys in her hand. In they went.

Then she got her groceries and went inside.

Somebody thoroughly pissed her off.

I'm not laughing.

Charlie Kirk's death seems to have really triggered all of the RWNJs out there. I guess that they really don't believe in 2nd Amendment solutions like Charlie did.

I mean, I do have a theory and that is that the shooter was an accelerationist and/or right wing hater. Why not both? Some percentage of groypers must be both.

I think blue governors need to send National Guards to Utah to patrol the streets. In fact we should be raising extraordinary militia to restore order where per capita violence is the worst. How about sending trained cadres of social workers to the open cess pools of domestic violence in so many red congressional districts.

The signs were never properly installed but I gotta tell ya, the U.S.of A. is a one way street.

Do NOT visit GatewayPundit unless you are craving wild speculation and (probably) fake wild rumors.

A while ago they posted a fake "leaked report" that the ammunition in the gun that was found was engraved with "trans ideology".

Source of that nugget? Steven Crowder.

The WSJ chose to platform that lie and now it's the gospel truth.

Being the voice of reason sure has to be hard work. But somebody has to do it.

As someone commented on FB, "I won't celebrate his death, but I also won't lie about his life."

“especially, when he said that “it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.”

I'll just be rude then. King Fool has demanded that flags all over the country be lowered tomorrow to honor a racist, homo/transphobic, anti semitic provocateur who said that gun deaths were "worth it" to live in a country without common-sense gun laws.

There have been no flags ordered lowered to honor the (at least) 515 dead and 1,161 injured in school shootings since 2000. CHILDREN (and teachers) whose injuries, trauma, and deaths Mr Kirk dismissed as "worth it" and "a prudent deal". He also opined that " empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage". So I have no problem having zero empathy for him or his family- it's what he would have wanted!

The Mad King's handlers want to legitimise one of their spent hate preachers.

Also, elevating a shitty, hatemongering youtuber to the level of an actual public servant is another way to devalue public service, same as ramming every government post with incompetent stooges and having them take a sledgehammer to vital agencies.

I wanted to laugh last night, so I watched a lot of old Mad TV clips.

In a JC Penney ad, the kids had bullet-proof backpacks and kevlar pants.

That show ran in, what, the mid-2000s?
