I'm not at all celebrating gun violence. Charlie Kirk absolutely did, for his whole career, insisting that if you don't like someone's politics, someone should do probably something about them. I am in turn merely congratulating the late Kirk on getting precisely the world that he wanted.

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

Remember that when Luigi allegedly smoked a CEO and the media did this same act (including Kirk, if I remember correct!) but people were all "naw that was funny we stan our assassin king" and the media eventually gave up. The full court media/politician press doesn't work when people hate a fucker

No, Ezra Klein, Charlie Kirk wasn't “practicing politics the right way.” He promoted racism, sexism, homophobia and xenophobia. Kirk had every right to express his political views, and his death is an outrage. But no one who believes in peace and love should praise what he was doing to our politics.

Some news organizations have dared report the views that made Kirk famous. The hagiographers can’t even mention those views out loud, because they make clear he greatly contributed to the politics of rage, conspiracy, and violence that may have ultimately ended his life.

Two months ago, Laura Loomer posted a long screed accusing Charlie Kirk of stabbing Trump in the back (click through for the whole thing). I guess she's one of the lefty voices Trump was attacking yesterday? xcancel.com/LauraLoomer/...

I don’t ever want to hear
@charliekirk11
claim he is pro-Trump ever again. After this weekend, I’d say he has revealed himself as political opportunist and I have had a front row seat to witness the mental gymnastics these last 10 years.

Lately, Charlie has decided to behave like a charlatan, claiming to be pro-Trump one day while he stabs Trump in the back the next.

TPUSA was only able to thrive thanks to the generosity of President Trump.

On the one year anniversary of the assassination attempt on Trump’s life, Charlie hosted
@ComicDaveSmith
at
@TPUSA
’s SAS conference where Dave Smith was able to speak to a bunch of conservative youth at an organization that claims to be Pro-Trump.

3 weeks ago, Dave Smith called for President Trump to be IMPEACHED and REMOVED from office over his decision to blow up Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Charlie played both sides of the Iran issue on his show as we all saw, because he wants to play to both sides of the aisle.

The honorable thing to do is to have a position and actually defend it to the death instead of flip flopping.

Smith said all of MAGA “should turn on Trump” and abandon him. He said this 3 weeks ago.

See the clip below. 👇🏻

TPUSA is definitely not pro-Trump. If they were, they certainly aren’t anymore.

one of the papabile is Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the patriarch of Jerusalem. Relative long shot because he's (in papal terms) young and only a cardinal since 2023, but I think we can agree if they're going to have an Italian again they should chose the most Italian possible name.

To make a serious point: What made Francis a good (in relative terms) Pope, was regret. He was vocal that he felt he had made mistakes during the Argentine Junta era. He was determined to do better. The best leaders accept their flaws and channel them to do better. He was a unique modern Pope.
