    Did she spray-tan herself pink to match the dress? I can’t tell if that is a natural skin tone

    Politics aside, this is extremely sad and pathetic. Something is very wrong here. Far beyond politics.

        Correct, they will beat this dead horse into oblivion to try and make him their martyr. I am hopeful it isn’t going to work though. There’ll be some fanfare for the next week or two, but it should calm down

      Agreed. Should dump the remains in a hole, cover it up and forget the spot like a shit in the woods. Pretty sad that the people responsible for running the country (in theory) are wasting time on him.

    If Charlie Kirk gets entombed in a place of honor I’ll make it my life’s mission to excavate that fucker’s body in the least respectful way possible.

      Don’t worry. Nazis were also given honorary graves during the second World War. Look how many of those survived after 1945. In the end nazis will lose and everything they created will be destroyed.

        There is no guarantee that they will lose, that’s the problem. Give them enough chances, they only have to win one time and that will be it. One could argue they already did, because democracy and rule of law are not in effect any longer, there is only one way this can still be stopped.

          Look at the history. Shit like this always happens. They rise, then they fall. The world gets right, then gets left. It gets a mess, then it gets stable. Etc etc etc

          Edit: the bad part is that it will always come at a great cost. So right now it’s the question what the price will be, that we as humanity will have to pay. We can go as far as mass extinction these days. I thought we couldn’t go there, as during the cold war we didn’t either. But now that I know how close we came, what tiny things there were that prevented it… Right now we have a lot more radical, religious and dumb people in places of power. I don’t know man.

          But if it doesn’t come to that, it will go back to the left but goes too far, then it will go more to the right again but people still remember so it won’t go too far right, then people see it doesn’t work and chose a more stable left. Then there will be a period of stability, until everything starts to happen all over again. It’s our human nature.

      Is there a male equivalent to “Ding, dong, the witch is dead” one could sing/sound/play in hearing range. I found the British way of dealing with Thatcher that way inspiring.

        Comparing the two is insulting. She was an actual head of state and a true force of evil, this chump was a two bit podcaster, he deserves neither half flags, having a state burial, nor having any type of songs written about him.

        Jesus christ, you’re playing into their hands.

    Nothing says “cannon fodder” like this over-the-top response to his death.

    I think when senator McCain, the veteran and hero, died, they insulted him.

      Oof. MC Cain was a vet and a pow. Hero is a bit far. He got shot down on a mission he wasn’t supposed to be on, in a plane any other pilot wouldn’t have been allowed near after crashing 3 prior to that and his demand was only possible because his daddy got put in charge of Vietnam after he was captured and told the enemy his dad was in charge.

      It’s like one of those rare times where nepotism and ego actually worked out ok.

    I don’t like being a tinfoil hat guy, but I can’t help wondering who this benefits the most. Sure seems like the right is capitalizing on this very quickly.

    Other countries could be involved, it could just be a crazy person with a gun, it could be someone who hated his hateful messaging. We don’t know.

    How about we minimally figure out what actually happened before honoring a podcaster, who got killed, like he is a war hero?

      It’s reasonable to expect that the conservatives have expected a significant shooting of a right-wing figure was inevitable in the US, and had strategies discussed beforehand to capitalise on the occasion. No need for tinfoil hats.

        No strategies even necessary, they are all on board with the fanaticism. They don’t even need martyrs, they demonize the left constantly, it’s like with narcissists- they accuse you of shit constantly and feverishly, and the one time you actually do happen to be guilty of something that is judgment day and proof of everything else they made up about you.

        It’s how witch processes go, it’s how holocausts go, it’s how fascism always goes.

      How good a shot was it?

      The guy who went for trump took a number of shots and missed (mostly). I don’t know enough about guns to understand how hard it was to one shot CK from the distance he was with a rifle.

          That’s dumb. That was a decent distance, people make it sound like it’s some super simple shot. You’d need more practice than “an hour”…
