Charlie Kirk confirmed dead.
It's honestly been a while since a breaking news story put a massive grin on my face
After the attempt on Trump, I thought these guys had force fields around them. One shot, 200 yards, and a great day.
These guys think they can talk all day about how they are going to make other's lives worse, often those with lesser means, and they think they should enjoy safety themselves at all times. This while caring so little for others who are victims of gun violence, offering up weak thoughts and prayers and no action. Well, today he got to live the life he always wanted, he just wanted it for others.
He was literally in the middle of defending his stance on why trans people are bad, and dodging questions on gun violence, when this happened. Bizarre.
Why the fuck is Donald Trump the one announcing his death?
Does that stink of this being a false flag and Kirk was chosen as an expendable to anyone else??
I am not at all convinced the shooter was a leftist or liberal.
It was a truly wildly impressive shot. One single shot taken over 200 yards away through a very limited angle that made an instant-kill hit, and no suspect in custody? Hmm...
It is extremely convenient that this happened immediately after the publication of the Epstein birthday book.
Yeah I'd say it was convenient if there wasn't a major Trump scandal each week in the past ten years at least.
Like Trump needs distraction. He could breathe slightly funny or his hands could turn a different shade of purple and the news circus would move on from the birthday book tomorrow, which doesn't even confirm anything we didn't already know.
Killer was well-prepared and a good shot, unlike the weirdo who tried to take out Trump. The only unusual thing is that people who have the mental acumen to actually pull something like this off and not get caught immediately tend to be mentally stable enough not to attempt something like that.
But times are a-changing and political violence in the US is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. People forgot that the Rule of Law and Social Contract were meant not just as ways to prevent conservatives from implementing ethnic/religious fundamentalism, but also to prevent this exact kind of thing happening. Trump is at the helm of a government he seemingly distrusts, whose own rules he constantly breaks or ignores, whose institutions he actively sabotages, whose fundamental principles he spits on. As a consequence trust in all three branches of government is crumbling, which inevitably legitimizes political violence as a last resort vector of change.
There’s no way they would shut down a propaganda powerhouse like that. It’s tempting to go down the conspiracy rabbit hole, but the vast majority of times it’s really the simple explanations that count.
It honestly could be as simple as “a school shooting victim’s relative wants revenge against the speaker who ridiculed their tragedy.”
Occam's Razor.
The USA probably has a million (literally) gun owners capable of making that shot.
Fuck around and find out.

I don't feel bad when evil people die, but I also don't chuckle this much. The irony is very much alive, unlike Kirk.
Bruh... We are in for an explosion of political violence... Only difference between now and the past is white wealthy men are the targets. Watching them freak out when they are gunned down on a random Wednesday is laughable. Welcome to your average black Americans reality. Police killings are political violence but no one with actual power ever gave a shit.
They say you should only speak good of the dead. He's dead. Good.
Bravo. Practice what you preach. It's about time these people started putting money where their mouth is, eh.
is this the mythical "good guy with a gun" that republicans promised?
“One reason why we don’t kill is because we are not used to it. I never killed anybody, but I have done just the same thing. I have had a great deal of satisfaction over many obituary notices that I have read. I never got into the habit of killing. I could mention the names of many that it would please me if I could read their obituaries in the paper in the morning,”

31?! Hate really ages you.
"If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.
A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

I wonder if Tucker Carlson is sh!tting his pants right about now.
We know Trump is. But that was before he heard the news.
I'm completely apathetic to this news. I'm not going to celebrate his death. But I think there's a lesson hidden somewhere in here, we'll probably lots of lessons.
I guess we'll never get a live action prison school if he isn't around to be andre
These memes are the only legacy of his that I will miss. The magical feeling of not knowing if any given image has his face photoshopped or not has been a consistent joy for such a long time. All good things must come to an end.
I’m pretty sure he wasn’t shot in the face.
RIP…… now about those Epstein files.
