    And why the weird fixation with Charlie Kirk, when there are actual innocents dead?

      Propaganda/Manufacturing Consent for crimes.

      And Kirk knew like every republican megadonor (they all funded him). Many own or run media sites.

      But yeah its exactly what a lot of media did for the leadup to the iraq war, by many of the same people (Tucker carlson for instance)

      I have no idea, especially when Kirk was just taking one for the team according to his own words

      “I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.” Charlie Kirk (April 5th, 2025)

        “… to protect our other God-given rights.”

        It fucking annoys me to no end when religeous fakers spout off shit like this. God never gave ‘rights’ to people. He instead told believers how they should act (Matt. 22: 36-40).

          It just adds a little extra sparkle that this is coming from a chick from Hell, lol 😆

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst-Wessel-Lied

      Horst Wessel was a Nazi street fighter. He died in an argument with his landlady. He owed rent and she’d asked some local boys to be at the meeting. Turns out the locals were Communists. The Nazi Party turned Horst into a martyr and made the song about him the Party anthem.

      Kirk was just lucky enough to publicly catch a bullet.
