    Trump tends to be nice to people who act fully subservient to him – those he has dominated.

    And wasn’t Kirk on the “we should see the Epstein files” side of the MAGA divide except for that one afternoon when he said he was over it?

    Having a problematic person publicly killed and then “honored” like this sure feels on brand for the wannabe mafia shitheads pulling the strings. It’s like how they revel in their hypocrisy rather than hiding it because they care much more about rubbing it in their enemies’ faces than they do about their own integrity.

    Everything about Kirk’s death is performative and self-serving. Even from his widow. And I hate saying that, but it’s true.

    All the way back to the first so-called “memorial” whose poster included 3-people, (Vance, Trump, and Kirk’s widow) and literally no photo of Kirk himself…on a poster for HIS goddamn memorial. We all know that turned into nothing more than a MAGA rally, and from there nothing has changed.

      Charlie Kuck’s dead body is being used for a grift.

    At this point the presidential medal of freedom is worth less then the paper crown you get at Burger King.

      Yup, shot right through the neck while spewing racist bullshit at a university. As someone who campaigned for bringing back public executions, his wife and kids were there to witness, exactly how he wanted it.

      Can you believe that the little shit was only in his early 30s? I thought he was at least a decade and a half older. Hate ages you more quickly.
