Admit it.

You're happy he's dead

You're sound upset that you didnt pull the trigger yourself.

You obviously believe in sky fairies if you're upset that anyone is claiming god's support.

Literally nobody cares about your opinion.

Do the right thing and ask MN HQ to delete this thread.

Why? Because you don’t like it?

You obviously do care since you keep posting here.

What is disgusting is claiming that a racist, homophobic misogynist had god on his side.

If you say it made.you feel queasy then I believe you.

I had a dodgy egg that did the same thing.

Don't know why you feel it's important to share. The man's dead, his widow is grieving.

Why not leave it at that?

I would hazard a guess that the OP is queasy about the politicisation of the man's death and of his widow's grief.

the left, especially the hard left, are so entrenched in believing they’re the keepers of all worldly wisdom, their minds are closed to discussion outside of their echo chamber.

It's not about left or right, it's about being against the US turning into a theocracy. Religion has no place in politics and the whole TPUSA circus is about breaking down the separation of church and state. On top of that, a lot of what is advocated by TPUSA is both regressive and repressive so as a woman who likes her rights and freedoms, I object to their agenda. And I'm not alone. You can scream and shout at us but it won't change our minds.

Well she doesn’t have the luxury of staying at home now because her husband was murdered. Someone has to go out earning to support the kids.

She is a multi millionaire already. I don’t think she’s doing it to put food on the table.

I've seen the queen, prime ministers, roll out the red carpet for the worst despots, , dictators, in the world. Shake their hand, entertain them. For diplomatic and other reasons. Being employed and self employed I've dealt with clients who've given me the ick. A few who've ended up in prison (so I was right). You just have to grin and bear it.

Fair enough, tbh.

Not the least interested that the man many consider the most powerful man in the world was best of friends with a convicted paedophile and trafficker?
Why?

You might be obsessed by Trump. I'm talking about the bigger picture across social media.

No. (Although I am worried about him and his admin and the government oversteps.)

But this thread is about Charlie Kirk’s memorial. Trump was as big part of that, as was his administration, so he’s the one that comes to mind first in response to your complaint about vulgar speech. He was the one that said he thought it was okay to ‘grab women on their ‘pussies.’

People who stated basic biological facts were cancelled/fired for stating them.
If the Trump administration is putting pressure on ABC or any other network, it doesn’t necessarily follow that they’re incapable of resisting such pressure. If ABC had considered Kimmel’s comments to be worthy of defending, they could have done so. They chose not to.
It’s interesting that you use the word ‘payback’ - it infers you agree that the left is receiving a dose of its own medicine and doesn’t much like it! Personally I think censorship/cancel culture is a bad idea regardless of whether it’s done by the left or the right.

@GoodTimesNoodleSalad

Thanks, I was having a hard time thinking of who had been cancelled unfairly. The trans/anti trans issue is not something I can speak to as I haven’t read enough about it. I don’t know enough about it to discuss it.

I used the word ‘payback’ because there are a lot of people who feel very negatively -feel aggrieved - about cancel culture and seem to be responding with statements like ‘the left don’t like it now it’s been turned on them.’ That puts me in mind of ‘payback’.

But this looks very different. This is the government wanting to shut down debate. It’s not just firing Kimmel and Colbert either. It’s the vice president and others in, or close to Trumps administration, that are encouraging people to make lists of anyone that expresses a negative view of Charlie Kirk. It’s purely political. It’s concerning that some people are celebrating this.

@justasking111 apologies, not sure why I’ve got your quote leading my response to another poster.

Did Charlie Kirk also ask for them to be released ? I’m sure I read that somewhere ? Worrying if so

I think they all did on the campaign trail, not sure about now though well obviously not now 🫣. I think he was also starting to question the Israel of it all, but I may have dreamt that.

Have you nothing better to do than ask this question for the millionth time. In the UK we've more pressing matters.

I don't know about you, but I'm a multi tasker and capable of caring about more than one thing at a time. Are you a man by any chance 🤔 😉?

Babybaby2025 · 22/09/2025 15:39

I'm not going to comment on the correct way to grieve.

However, I do believe from a PR perspective many far right top honchos are rubbing their hands with glee at the opportunity to exploit his death and to use his widow as a mouth piece to push their agenda. Which shes doing both willingly and brilliantly. It's clear she's a business woman (which is ironic considering Mr kirks views on a woman's rightful place). But this doesn't mean she's not legitimately grieving.

I thought his murder was horrific and sad, i wasnt able to watch the clip as i dont want to see someones life torn from them despite how i feel about them. But he was a hateful, spiteful and condescending bigoted man. He shouldn't have been killed, but then again, neither should children in school shootings but those kids deaths in his views were just consequences we need to accept in order to protect the right to have guns. He's not a martyr , but sadly, his death is just a consequence of what he fought for.

You mean Trump speak ie when he talked about how women like being grabbed on ‘the pussy.’ I agree.

No I mean Western media comments.

Do you remember a few years ago when cancel culture as a concept really got going, and people were cancelled/silenced/fired for saying objectively true things? I didn’t see that the left really had a problem with silencing free speech when they were the ones doing it, they just don’t like it now they’re on the receiving end. Seems they sowed the wind, now they’re reaping the whirlwind.

People were banned or shut down by private companies, rightly or wrongly, in line with the culture of the day. It wasn't at the behest of Joe Biden, nor was it filled with propaganda and lies.

Hey, everyone! Let’s all criticize how the widow of a murdered man grieves, because this definitely showcases our common decency and makes us look super-normal. 👍

You must be reading something different, hardly any pp criticising her .. plenty criticising Trump administration and their version of free speech and women's rights etc.
Fundamentalist Christianity is a scary thing, believing a deity in the sky will be all America needs and Trump is the conduit.🤯😜
There's as British turn of phrase for this.. Fucking Nutter's.👍
