That Charlie Kirk funeral on Sunday is going to be a total shitshow.

They are renting out the Arizona Cardinals' stadium to hold it, both Trump and Vance will be there, Trump will giving Kirk a posthumous medal of freedom, and you know it will be just full of inflammatory and divisive language towards anyone left of the aisle.

It will make Trump's pre-election rally in New York look like child's play.

I have to mail in my quarterly estimated tax payment today. I'm so glad to know it will be well-spent.

Thinking the Bad Bois Billionaire club might be getting pretty damned impatient about the Nazifacation getting done.

That, or some MIHOP mishap harming a lot of the maga fools will trigger a nationwide problem with law and order.

As it wont be taught in schools.

Texas is literally doing that..removing world history to replace with more US and Texas history.

And remember Texas's domination of curriculum due to its dominance in production of curriculum materials.

The State Board of Education on Friday approved a social studies teaching plan that will dedicate more time across school grades to Texas and U.S. history while placing less attention on world history and cultures.

The Republican-dominated board voted 8-7 in favor of the proposal, which marks only one step in a longer effort by the group to revise Texas’ social studies standards and set new guidelines for what students should learn before they graduate. Republicans Evelyn Brooks and Pam Little joined Democrats in opposition to the plan...

Absolutely refused to have a moment of silence for ole Kirky there when asked by an American member.

Instead they opted to make a whole bunch of noise.

It was a chef's kiss!

I hope these far rightwing bastards don't spend a dime of taxpayer dollars on that scumbag's funeral.

He could open the dialogue with something along the line of "I know things are rough right now, and I can help with arrangements for a grave site, if that would lessen your burden."
