    Does anyone else find it wild that the first confirmation of his death (apart from anyone who had eyes and saw the wound) comes from the President of the United States? Who did not extend the same formality to the lawmaker assassinated in Minnesota just a few months ago?

        Well, that’s not right at all. Catching a con-man saying something truthful? Nah, you just haven’t seen the lie yet.

        Maybe nazi charlie wanted a fake 'ear wound", too. Those maga nazis do fuck things up extremely commonly.

    Just for the record, this was his response to the attack on Paul Pelosi:

    “Why has he not been bailed out?” Kirk said Monday on his podcast of the man who allegedly beat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi‘s husband Paul with a hammer last Friday. “By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out, I bet his bail’s like thirty or forty thousand bucks.” With a smirk, he added: “Bail him out and then go ask him some questions.”

          If their God were real, he would FUCKING HATE Republicans. The shooter hasn’t been caught yet, maybe God was hiding behind a cloud with a sniper rifle. Zadkiel telling him to go for a headshot, Azrael says that’s a pussy shot because it’s such a big target. Gods like “bet, watch this shit.”

                  Lol I feel that. I’ve been playing since 2. My kids been on fallout 4 for 2 years. I had to buy a new soap dispenser because it looks like the blowtorch. He convinced me to buy a steel bucket, basically anything that looks like loot from that game. Now I’m working on an old lunch box for him, in vault-tec style but I have to do it surreptitiously because it’s a surprise.

      Allegedly.

      Someone allegedly murdered him.

      Kirk was open and proud that it was his belief to live in a society with guns was desirable even if it meant people were gonna get shot.

      He thought it was a good trade off.

      Now a gun went off. And Charlie Kirk is dead.

      This is America for all we know a cop was standing behind him and mistook a shadow for a Black man.

      Don’t fucking jump to he was murdered, he was shot.
