You do not want to hear my opinions on said wife
My Guffaw of the Day Award goes to the person who posted Pat Benetar’s “Hit Me with Your Best Shot” as background to the Charlie Kirk shooting video. French kiss.
Hates Socialism
Is publically owned
I know we’re all living in a post-irony world, but
just spent months deploying the gestapo to Urban areas because of “crime” only for his most loyal apparatchik to get merked in exurban Utah.That’s a very funny way of looking at it
see if it’s this bad in Mormon land think how bad it is in commiefornia
BREAKING: In his final moments, Charlie Kirk received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!
9/11 comes early for those who celebrate
“you can open one gift the night before”
Tagline
A second charlie kirk has been shot in the neck?
9/11 eve
God damn it now there are two days every year we can never forget!
I think he always wanted something like this but never expected to die. His whole thing was going on college campuses with private security and riling up the libs. It would have been appropriate for his brand had some woke college kid try to shoot him but then fail.
Good riddance though. Rest in piss. Enjoy hell, you utter piece of shit. One of the most rotten people to have ever lived. Professional racist, transphobe, and Zionism apologist. What a fucking waste of life and free will. Fuck that guy and I hope the rest of his reactionary ilk learn to shut the fuck up.
Libs already in overdrive rebranding him as a “free speech” champion. That and the usual slowjerk any time a right wing figure gets comeuppance
Motherfuckers would be out here like sure Goebbels was controversial, but first and foremost he was a husband and a father
but first and foremost he was a husband and a father
No, first and foremost he was a racist piece of shit and those kids are better off without him as a father figure.
First and foremost he is a corpse without a neck :)
Also like I might be blurring these types of figure together but didn’t something come out a few years ago that he was shitty husband, like shouting at his pregnant wife to buy her own ice cream
That was Steven Crowder IIRC
He’s not Goebbels level, maybe Streicher
maybe the shittiest possible Horst Wessel, but Ashli Babbit might have already taken that one
Maybe more of a Herbert Norkus
Hexbear Glup Shitto hours, who up?
Fucking liberals
CNN like “wow Hitler had a girlfriend, you know?”

I hope the rest of his reactionary ilk learn to shut the fuck up.
They won’t shut up, they never do because they have the power and money
I mean the talking heads specifically. I know the actual capitalist ghouls have the power, but their little minion Torgos are endlessly annoying and provide nothing of value. I hate that simply being annoying and a fascist is a job now. I want Ben Shapiro to fear for his life now and disappear from the public. God I’d love that.
As much as I hate to admit it, this is actually really bad
It was already really bad. I don’t think this will make anything worse. I mean, they would love to, bud there isn’t much more momentum to add here
Political assassinations happening more frequently is like, really bad. The rights response to this will be to double down on extremist rhetoric.
There’s no offramp here and it doesn’t end well
Maybe, though if the killer is right wing, maybe a Fuentes fan, that could lead down some fun roads.
Megamind dying or reactionaries not shutting up?
The latter clearly, the former is profoundly enjoyable
Thought so, just curious!
Utah passing that Open Carry on College Campus law really ruined his grift.
Here’s his last words:
“The first question was if Kirk knew how many mass shooters were transgender,” she said. “He said, ‘Too many.’”
A second question on the issue was asked. Before he could answer, he was shot, Pitts said.
He died doing what he loved, what can I say?
Welcome home Charlie
Why Lennon, Michael Jackson, and…who’s that person in the top right?
Edit: Did a bit of research on Jimmy Saville and, yeah he deserves to burn.
Lennon
Wife beater, ableist, abused his son, used the n word, made fun of a woman for attempting suicide…
Michael Jackson
Pedo
who’s that person in the top right?
Jimmy Savile
Michael Jackson is a diddler.
Sonic fans
runescape fansNever being able to fully enjoy their game’s soundtrack
pedo
Before my time but was he actually? I always heard he wasn’t. (I actually don’t know)
There was a documentary that came out a few years ago that fully convinced me he was definitely not innocent.
spoiler
Long story short, he owned actual CSAM, paid off his victims’ family to the sum of millions, and one of his victims accurately described his genitals which had unique marks due to a skin condition MJ had.
That is Jimmy Savile
i never saw savilles face and briefly worried i needed to Google Brent Spiner
jimmy saville
Did your research mention his loyal friend?
His anti-vaxx shit alone caused the deaths of unknowable numbers of children.
I want to say this should have happened sooner, but what I really believe is that people like him should never be able to spread such dangerous misinformation in the first place - it should never even have to come to this, because society should be so much more sensible.
The moderate wing of fascism.
now we nervously await what kind of person did the thing. not that it matters but personally i was hoping it was the 65 y/o boomer lib
imagine if boomer libs with nothing to lose just starting going lone wolf like those phone calls to senators at the beginning of the year
like the admin wouldn’t be able to really even do any broad sweeping crackdowns against that group. they could operate with impunity.
funniest outcome I can think would be if it’s one of those fallen magas whose mad about the Epstein stuff (which Kirk had been downplaying)
The donalds probably pretty happy that this had distracted the media from that stuff it would be so chefs kiss if this just brought it back to the forefront AND it was from a bitter ex fan
Yeah it couldn’t have come at a better time for Trump
Hell of a shot too. Over 200 yards into a guaranteed kill zone
How many people, nationally, could have made that shot I wonder. Would an unconfident shooter make just one shot? Could they have gotten lucky?
There undoubtedly people thinking this could have been a inside job. Could it be? We won’t know until they grab someone I guess.
Not very fucking many. It’s quite the fucking shot. Everyone can get lucky though so I don’t know
Assume probably military training or they’re some sort of militia type or at least serious gun hobbyist who has been practicing at the range for years and years with scoped long-guns.
At least as much range time as the guy who shot at Trump should’ve gotten.
Unless this dude was a trained sniper (because they sometimes aim for the neck, or so I’ve been told), this person was almost certainly aiming for either the head or center mass and got a lucky miss.
that would be awesome
Anti pedo manifesto
My money is on Epstein cover up being the motive, and the shooter to have vaguely reactionary politics but not a trump supporter.
imagine if boomer libs with nothing to lose just starting going lone wolf
Generational redemption arc. It’s the least they could do
“Just got my M1 Garand from the CMP, time to go give these gun nuts a taste of their own medicine”
suspect was realeased (again) maybe it was mossad after all
