If you don't talk about Charlie Kirk reverentially you should be shunned???

I feel bad for his widow. I feel bad for his children. He didn't deserve to be assassinated. That being said, he said awful things about Black folks, lgtbq folks, and immigrants.

5. Sorry, I don't feel bad for the widow at all, given that she has shown

she is just as vile, and is, I suspect, the actual brains behind his f'n empire of hate.

"If you say things about him he said about others, you have no soul!!!"

"If you dare serve him a spoonful of the soup he fed everyone else, you’re basically history’s greatest villain!"

"If you ever give him even a fraction of the medicine he prescribed to others, you’re committing a cosmic crime against kindness!"


(And for Statler (Waldorf has the day off), no one I actually know really said that; let's hope this those those ruffled feathers soothed!)

8. What's weird about his black folks comments

Is he hired Candice Owens and she said they spent 2 yrs together everyday building their careers
on the road. They both say they were each others best friends forever. Maybe he only liked beautiful black women. So crazy for him to say what he said about black people when his bestie is black??? I guess that is putting stuff in compartments.

Candace is losing it online. Posting a gazillion pics of them together- holding a fish they caught etc

Just bizarro. In fact the whole world seems crazier than ever. So many journalists on X posting they are not suicidal every day. Recently- Anna Kasparian posted more than one video that she was getting death threats and was not suicidal, Kim Iverson’s house was broken into while she was home & she said all kinds of sick stuff is directed at her and she is not suicidal. Candice posted a tweet she got online from Israeli investor Owen Barsky as she was tweeting about Kirk - “Your time will come”. Etc
Both Republicans & Dems saying they are not suicidal even Tucker Carlson. What they all have in common - speaking about genocide.

The world is going to hell. Glad I live out in the country but really worry for my grandkids. My granddaughter is half Hispanic and she is with a Hispanic/Arab man - so my beautiful great grandson with a super Hispanic name has an Arab grandfather. He looks so much like so many young Palestinian boys I see online in Gaza - my heart bleeds. My great grandson is one of the sweetest people I know and super smart too.

Just rambling- I’m late - rambling when my poor chickens & dogs need to be fed.

So happy I live in NM with some of the best reps ever - that’s a positive - both Senators voted against weapons for Israel. Love you guys - Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Lujan. My reps can go out in public and speak without being heckled because they speak out against genocide.

14. What the fuck is all this ? Candace Owens is a piece of shit

that admitted she spread hatred about black people for money and fame.

How the fuck are you using being friends with someone like Candace Owens as a sign of not being racist.

And the rest is the usual "the joos did it."

Part if it went something like this: I was talking with a friend about Charlie Kirk. I told her he wanted children to watch public executions. She thought I was joking. I was not. She told me Charlie was a god fearing man. I thought she was joking. She was not. There are two sectors in our society that do not know about the information in the other sector. They do not know the full story.

I was half asleep listening so I cannot swear those were the exact examples, but it shows what he was saying. They have no idea about the hate he spewed. They probably think we are as crazy as we believe them to be. It isn't good.
