“Erika Kirk will continue his legacy, and will be a fearless advocate for the most elite airpower force in the history of the world whose warriors keep our nation safe, strong and free.”

Do you think Erika Kirk could even describe to you how airplanes fly with a basic grade school explanation?

Getting hep c and being discharged with 1 week of boot camp left seemed like a curse when I was 21...but now that I have seen all the bullshit Trump is doing...at 33 I can say thank God for hep c.

I was considering going into the army, in 2001, after the election, I figured the leadership would get us into a war I would not want to be involved in. Nailed it.

I'm the same age. When I graduated college 10 years ago my dad tried talking me into the air force. I'm so glad I didn't do that; I would have despised serving under this President.

[-] orbitz@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 weeks ago

Hey it could be a DUI hire like others too...I don't know much about her if that could be accurate but if she's going with that ship she's a fucking douche. No one with any sense of morality would ever accept a position from them.

Funny how apparently all the 'christian/godly' (outspoken ones) types are attaching themselves to the apparent anti Christ. Well probably not literally but the description fits 1:1 and I'm an atheist but I think the Bible had a good description of that charlaton.

I recall reading some old philosopher and they described the worst person, it was Trump. I could never find it again forget but it was Plato or Aristotle I think. There have always been those types in all of history. Somehow the US was hoodwinked into actually giving him power, rather than run him off like the snake oil salesmen he is.

[-] BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

I'm not religious either, but I'm aware of the core principles of Christianity. Trump is the embodiment of greed, and goes heavily against what the Bible teaches, look no further than "love thy neighbor." He actively goes against that core principle daily. I'm sure someone has done a full write up of all the things trump has done that's against the Bibles teachings, yet these Bible loving """Christians""" swear he's the second coming of Jesus and was appointed by god.

It's a cult, plain and simple. Christians follow him because a good amount of them are conservative, because their believe is only surface level. It's only faith when it's convenient and "against gods wishes or whatever" when it's against their conservative beliefs.

Christians that belive trump is the greatest and sent to us by god haven't read the same fucking book they're constantly quoting, they're hypocrites and traitors to themselves and their supposed beliefs. He is in fact the antichrist according to these people's own book.

This is the true Trump Derangement Syndrome, because once again, every accusation is a confession of the Repulikkkan party.

Kirk, a former Miss Arizona beauty pageant winner, was also recognized by Trump during the president’s State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress in February.

She was hired because of ~~nepotism~~ her qualifications...

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 47 points 4 weeks ago

She was hired because she's proven herself to be a valuable psychopath and propaganda operative; those are the only relevant qualifications to the American nazi party.

[-] rozodru@piefed.world 24 points 4 weeks ago

she'll also be Vance's "Wife" soon if they deem him ready to be next in line. last thing they'd want is an Indian as first lady.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 16 points 4 weeks ago

She got herself upholstered in black leather and JD is starting ICE investigation into his wife.

[-] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 4 weeks ago

[-] hector@lemmy.today 7 points 4 weeks ago

Vance is not getting the succession though. Ha. That fucking tool? No one likes him, that's why he was chosen, so the big man wouldn't be shunted aside for him.

After the dust has settled, Vance will be chopped liver mark my words. Hopefully this cynical bitch throws in her lot with him and get wasted too. Silver lining.

Donald Trump is cancer. Literally couldn't be a worse person. And he thinks the concept of "qualified" means "is liked by people in power". If this administration doesn't depress you greatly, nothing will.

Nothing of real value is given value by this administration. Only money and hoarding it matter, and nakedly so. They're literally citing greed as why starting a war is ok. "we're going to make a lot of money" is something actually said out loud by politicians in defense of a war. I cannot imagine how this government could get more corrupt.

[-] hector@lemmy.today 15 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

There couldn't be a worse person by character. There could be a worse leader, one that was capable, and even just half as mean.

Oh my god, congratulations Erika. Look how far you got exploiting that bullet in your husband's neck! Amazing. I'm sure his gay rumours were untrue, and that you loved each other so much! I hope you also one day get that closeted couch fucker away from his dirty foreigner wife! Such inspiration. Beautiful.

[-] oldscratchXV@lemmy.world 27 points 4 weeks ago

And what exactly are the qualifications of some former beauty pageant winner and widow of some dead far-right racist, anti-science, anti-intellectual monster to be in such a position?

I wonder if she will have a nice couch in her office for Vance when he visits.

On a more serious note, it is amazing how well her husbands killing has worked out for her professionally.

Lmao. Everything Trump does is so extremely similar to how Hitler and the Nazi regime came to be. It's unbelievable.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 22 points 4 weeks ago

What is she going to bring to the table here? How to grift off a dead husband you didn't love, abandon your children to grift, and be the side chick of a guy who fucks couches?

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 7 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Her ability to crank the afterburners on benefitting in her career from her husband dying has impressed even the Air Force's most aggressive fighter pilots.

Only the toughest Warfighters can execute such high-Greed maneuvers.

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 weeks ago

Stop. It's 2026, we don't need to do this sex shaming bullshit anymore. Giving blowjobs doesn't make you a bad person. Being good at blowjobs doesn't make you a bad person. Don't lump Erika fucking Kirk in with people who are simply good at blowjobs. Erika Kirk is a bad person because she's profiting off of her husband's death. Erika Kirk is a bad person because she's continuing her husband's legacy of hate and bigotry. Blowjobs have nothing to do with it, and you're muddying the waters by making that the focus.

Never met the woman but this feels like a comment copy and pasted from a trove of remarks showing just how sexist an online community is.

Her actions and comments can speak for her not being a good person without us making allegations about her sex life.

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 17 points 4 weeks ago

Only the best people

Sigh...

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 16 points 4 weeks ago

I bet she's qualified for that.

[-] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 16 points 4 weeks ago

Damn, crazy how this nobody is still in the news. She is grifting HARD and loves that her husband was murdered. Now she gets the spotlight and can't get enough of it.

I think the house and senate are all brainwashed if they let bullshit pass this far. They’re all useless.

[-] Grumpyleb@lemmus.org 10 points 4 weeks ago

Hopefully Trump steals the midterms as well and plunges the entire world into further chaos, maybe then Americans will consider doing something? I'm genuinely curious as to what it will take for general strikes?

[-] cheffrey@lemmy.zip 21 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

It’s going to take a culture shift. People on the ground don’t feel like they can trust each other. Until we have a sense that our neighbors won’t let us go hungry, a general strike can’t be sustained.

We get there with mutual aid, building relationships with our neighbors, and time. General strike 2028

[-] Grumpyleb@lemmus.org 8 points 4 weeks ago

Damn, if you're aiming for 2028 to effect any realistic changes that ship might have sailed. People are already hungry and broke, I don't understand you lot to be honest.
