The Charlie Kirk Thread

[Ramrouser]

Yes, I read a couple that said we should replace Junetenth with Kirk day. Really? So very sad.

It would be as about well thought out.

 

[Ramrouser]

So, @Callatoroy and @Ramrouser should Brian Kilmeade be fired? It seems that his words are far more detrimental to people.

Over a dozen injured in Minneapolis shootings at homeless camp and near transit station

The shootings come during a particularly violent summer for the Minneapolis area, including the gunning down of a lawmaker and her husband and a deadly mass shooting at a Catholic school.

He apologized. JK wont

What the JK firing shows is that absolutely no one believes the shooter is Groyper/alt right/MAGA except hard lefties talking to themselves in their liberal bubble that JK was a part of.

Read the room and exercise common sense.

Common sense is obviously not so common. Case in point.

The ironic thing is that if you played clips of Charlie Kirk at your workplace you’d definitely get fired.

No idea what you’re talking about.

This can probably be the last word on Kimmel. Brian,

There is breaking news with more details on this.

What a huge break for Trump.
He got rid of Kirk who kept calling out for Epstein files.
Check.
He got his Reichtag moment to rile up the base even further and to allow his brown shirts to muster and deploy even farther and with more gusto.
Check.
The incident bated Kimmel and several other non-Maga to pipe up and summarily lose their gigs. Which muzzled trump critics.
Check.
This in turn allowed Carr and FCC to turn all broadcast media into State run media overnight.
Check.
Nobody is talking Epstein, Economy, egg prices, etc.
Check.
The 24 hour news cycle won’t find anything else to talk about for weeks and weeks.
Check.
Trump lucked out. Almost as lucky as turning his head sideways for a split second.

Do you even know what Juneteenth represents?

 

[Calheel]

He apologized. JK wont

What language should Kimmel apologize for? Please include the exact quote from Kimmel that you believe is somewhat analogous to involuntary lethal injections for homeless people.

Because just saying that MAGA was trying to disown Robinson is 100% accurate.

Oh no, did JK hurt your feewings? Snowflake!

Am I doing it right?

The economy tanked in 2007-2009.

Obama was elected and almost immediately the Tea Party erupted.

A tanking economy isn’t swinging the “moderate” 20% to the Democrats for any lengthy term.

The economy was a big plus for democrats in 2008. At that point the Republicans owned the issue - for the most part.

The same be true. Republicans control every branch of government (they didn’t in 2008). Hard to redirect the blame (though they would try).

 

[ChapelHillSooner]

Hell, it wasn't even because of the quote you cited. Kimmel's sin was making fun of Trump's total lack of empathy, which was objectively true. The line about Trump reaching the 4th stage of grief, construction, was fucking hysterical. Unless you are a tissue paper thin skinned autocrat. Then it burns like a thousand suns and you must have vengeance.

Maybe we need to get the Streisand effect going.

Play the part about empathy over and over.
