Charlie Kirk Eulogy

[MrsSkylerWhite]

Thoughts? It made me feel queasy. AIBU?

Trump is closing down tv shows that dare to disagree with or criticise him.
Echo chamber?

I honestly sit and chuckle at posters like this. They only see what they want to see!

Made me realise how unsafe the world really is right now, and what a nut the US president really is.

ABC suspended Kimmel and industry people say it was a convenient excuse to get rid of a struggling presenter with very poor ratings.

Rubbish.

Trump shuts down anyone that doesn’t agree with him.

repeating it doesn’t make it true.

Quite. This attempt to rewrite his history and turn him into some sort of martyr with god on his side is really off.

Someone rightly said his widow’s head must be all over the place. Absolutely. I have little doubt that she is being cynically manipulated by others whose intentions are far from “Christian”.

When someone is complicit in attempting so subvert an election, they lose the benefit of appealing to Your-Side/My-Side type arguments. Without fair elections, there aren't sides.

And no, Kirk was not in government, but he was involved in Jan 6 to the extent that he was deposed by the House Select Committee - where he plead the 5th to everything.

If you would take away my voice, I'm not going to temper it.

If Donald did, it would.

If ABC had thought Kimmel worth defending, they would have done so. But they didn’t.

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences, right?

Incidentally, I’m very much a centrist, a typical floating voter. Not signed up to any political party or movement. I decide which way to vote at each election. I have voted for Labour, LibDems and Conservatives over the years. The only decision I’ve made about the next UK election is that I shan’t be voting for Reform.

It isn’t only left-wing people who abhor the extremist views promoted by this man’s organisation.

Should that not work both ways? Yet it seems anything goes as far as Trump, Vance and indeed Turning Point are concerned. People who have the audacity to put forward a different view are increasingly being silenced or even picked up on the street.
Doesn't that concern you?

Only if you’re on the left, though. You can spill as much hatred as you like from the right and it be fine.

Gosh your bar is on the floor

Fair enough, it’s a little hard to understand your point of view, in that case.

Got it. Kamala Harris’s ‘shutting her gob,’ and calling me ‘my dear.’ I do believe we have a man.

You also have JD Vance and those on the right encouraging mass doxxing of people not joining in on this ridiculous public mourning of a racist and misogynist. Who cares if he attacked their humanity everyday to grift a loving, they're suddenly not entitled to free speech and should be ratted out. Coming from people who mocked George Floyd and others disgustingly and still do btw. Any accusations of an echo chamber or closed ears on the left is always an admission from the right.

Thank you for such a well written post.

You do know what Kimmel said right? he commented on how hard the right (ie Trump, Vance) was working to paint Tyler Robinson as being from the left and how quickly that started doing so.

Taking him off the air is silencing him for what?

That is not consequences, That is censorship by the government. And that’s unconstitutional.

Indeed. I think anyone saying "she's just a grieving widow, she was just sharing a message of forgiveness" needs to ask themselves why fireworks went off.

It was a weird combination of election night win celebrations and evangelical Christian conference, Hillsong style. If people can't acknowledge the strange and sinister undertones of this without getting a dig in at the "far left", there's no hope for them.

My mistake. I meant that the government interfering in free speech is unconstitutional. Which is what they did to Kimmel.

"I have read some place that the networks were 97% against me, again, 97% negative, and yet I won and easily [in last year's election]," the president said.
"They give me only bad publicity [and] press. I mean, they're getting a licence. I would think maybe their licence should be taken away."

Trump's own words. ----

Chilling, aren’t they? State controlled media.

I can't believe the mental gymnastics people are going through on this thread to deny that it's happening.

Why did Trump use this opportunity to announce they have “found an answer to autism” 😳
