Politics aside, this is extremely sad and pathetic. Something is very wrong here. Far beyond politics.
This is their martyr to do everything they want. This won't end.
Correct, they will beat this dead horse into oblivion to try and make him their martyr. I am hopeful it isn't going to work though. There'll be some fanfare for the next week or two, but it should calm down
Agreed. Should dump the remains in a hole, cover it up and forget the spot like a shit in the woods. Pretty sad that the people responsible for running the country (in theory) are wasting time on him.
Oh it's not just theories, they are running it... to the ground !
Wdym "politics aside"? All this is is politics
It’s really crazy how he is being treated as if he was a high ranking military officer or an elected politician. He was just a hateful guy with a podcast.
It’s because conservatives legitimately don’t actually know the difference any more. There are several people in my town who have their flags at half mast.
They think Donald Trump is a great leader, and they probably see him as a great “military officer” too.
The rules have changed.
You sure that wasn’t for 9/11?
Yes, sadly. The same people still have it at half mast, and it’s 9/12.
People around here have also never put their flags at half mast for 9/11, they actually don’t put their flags at half mast for literally anything at their houses. Post offices, schools, government buildings, and some businesses, yeah. Houses, no.
So this is extremely performative for certain conservatives.
Wait people have full on flagpoles in front of their houses? That is not normal human behavior, I must emphasize that.
Oh definitely! Plus, tons of people who don’t have a full-on flagpole still hang a flag outside their house at all times.
The people who live across from me put up a comically-tall flagpole after Trump won last year… the first flag on it was a Trump flag. They now have an American flag up all the time (and it’s currently at half mast).
They’re all totally bizarre. Rarely have bad Americans announced themselves so clearly, right in front of their houses.

The sad part is we don’t even know anymore. It’s probably a mix of both
We havent viewed good people as good for society for some time and times have been good enough to only focus on petty shit. So they want to pretend that they have been special and amazing just for complaining constantly and making large amounts of money as that is what we say is useful to society.
They need to lie to themselves that what they are doing is good to keep themselves as self hyped as they can. Look at how Trump keeps worrying he is rightfully going to hell. They need to tell themselves and apparently the rest of us that what they are doing is good for the world cause they dont want to do anything else.
He was brainwashing kids and pushing Shitler approved propaganda
He was just a hateful guy with a podcast.
To be fair, given how Lemmy is filled with posts about this guy he wasn't "just a guy". Must be even more scary on more popular platforms. Really, you better stop praising him.
Because he was a racist who was treated like he is going to resurrect today.
I don't like being a tinfoil hat guy, but I can't help wondering who this benefits the most. Sure seems like the right is capitalizing on this very quickly.
Other countries could be involved, it could just be a crazy person with a gun, it could be someone who hated his hateful messaging. We don't know.
How about we minimally figure out what actually happened before honoring a podcaster, who got killed, like he is a war hero?
It's reasonable to expect that the conservatives have expected a significant shooting of a right-wing figure was inevitable in the US, and had strategies discussed beforehand to capitalise on the occasion. No need for tinfoil hats.
How good a shot was it?
The guy who went for trump took a number of shots and missed (mostly). I don't know enough about guns to understand how hard it was to one shot CK from the distance he was with a rifle.
I've heard they'd at least have needed an hour of practice.
I was thinking that the other day. The GOP are talking about ramping up the violence. This will lead to martial law. This is the final step in project 2025 before destroying democracy in America.
I guess that's on-brand for this administration. His sole contribution to society was to piss people off for money by making a lot of stupid noises. It seems to be the only thing they respect.
Why not, he lied everywhere else he went
Fucking clown world
Someone please play yakety sax while this is happening
Or sad trombone
Or any other number of sonic shitposts
Carotid Artery Charlie: he lived by the shitpost; he died by the shitpost; his memory will be made fun of in shitposts.
I was wondering where the urinal was in DC
Oh, nancy, being loud and obnoxious like kari lake isnt going to get you on TRUMPS favour.
She won’t even be able to get close on her knees anymore, I doubt the 79 year old still gets hard
if he takes cialis.
So they can hide the Epstein Files in his casket?
They can use his corpse to build a fountain with the water shooting out his neck.
what a joke
They lay his ass in state at the capital and somebody is going to set it on fire.

What a disgrace
What does it feel like to suck so bad?
This would be a good remembrance statue 
Did she spray-tan herself pink to match the dress? I can't tell if that is a natural skin tone
She's turned that carnivore diet pink.
Gross.
Scum
He lied about everything else but he does not deserve to lie there.
I don't see what's Oniony or even unexpected about this. He'll join the ranks of e.g. Huey Long.
