Mr Kirk and his Turning Point USA organisation played a key role in driving youth support for Donald Trump in last November's presidential election.

    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?

      It’s funny how it’s always Trump says this, Trump say that. However when he is gone someday, what will the party have left? And what to say then? Everyone will have been conditioned to Trump being the mouthpiece, not the next Rando, or GOP. They are short-sighted as usual.

        My guess is Barron. If he’s trying to imitate NK, establishing a dynasty and getting rid of elections would be the starting point. And with all the talk of a 3rd term… my guess is that’s the goal. No dictator lasts forever, so ensuring a favorable transfer of power is vital. And if trying to deify yourself, the next closest thing is your progeny.

        Our best hope is the GOP imploding due to the massive power vacuum Trump’s death will create. There is a lot of discontent among Republicans right now, they’re all just too afraid (or still too loyal) to Trump to oppose him directly. But Vance? He has the charisma and popularity of a wet paper towel. There will be no hesitation throwing him under the bus.

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

        So nazis are talking about how wonderful he is? Yeah, they’re nazis. He was a nazi. He spread religious hate speech as much as he possibly could.

        He wasn’t a 'far right political influencer"

        He was a common nazi.

    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.”

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.
