Watching this Kirk thing feels like I'm giving myself an "irony enema".

So many things.

So many things wrong.

Notable was JD Vance, saying something akin to "It is better to face the barrel of a gun, then to not speak the truth".

AS HE'S STANDING BEHIND BULLET PROOF GLASS.

And considering that there are SO MANY true heroes in this world that deserved a send off like this...one realizes that all of these brainwashed souls are going to martyr this man who said so many horrible things...forever.

Sad state of affairs. Fucking rotten to the core.

I saw Rubio as well.

I dozed off with the TV on, and when I woke up it was on TV. I listened for awhile, and then I started to panic a bit, because it reinforced how much trouble we are in.

The man did nothing good. He did many bad things, and now, they have turned him into a deity. They have likened him to Christ.

It would be nice if we could give our true heroes something like this.

Or even some random good person who spent his/her life helping others...instead of talking shit for a living.

I'm not going to sugar coat it. I'm sorry a man was shot and killed. But to speak of him like he was a hero? It's bullshit.

He won't have to worry about getting shot for it, but some of *rump's minions might push for his hanging just as they did for former Vice-President Pence.

Thanks for the thread LuckyCharms
