    Republicans are happier that he died than liberals are. They’ll be playing the victims while making our society objectively shittier for years to come using this as the excuse.

      Not only an apology, but a donation as well.

      They’re almost literally demanding “fuck you, pay me”

    This a perfect opportunity for Kimmel to show a tribute of all the racist and bigoted things that Kirk said over the years.

      They took his jerb for doing his jerb

      Next week’s South Park is going to be nuts.

      I hope they literally double down and do an hour long episode.

      Matt and Trey are literal billionaires and actual free speech absolutionists, there’s no way they moved back a week to tone it down, they’d only move an episode back to throw more into it.

        I haven’t heard any of Trump’s takes on the first couple of this season. Most of the Trump news doesn’t reach us in Europe. But I wonder how far South Park can go before Trump blows a fuse.

          God that sounds like heaven. I’m so tired of seeing this guy’s mug and having to hear the latest crazy shit he did/said in the last hour.

    I keep seeing Republicans saying some version of “he said some very nasty things about Charlie Kirk” and failing to elaborate at all on that. I watch the clips. He didnt says a fucking thing about Charlie Kirk. He criticized Trump and his reaction to the shooting, but did not say a negative thing about Charlie himself. So what exactly is he meant to apologize to his family for? Mentioning it?

      I’d like someone to ask Taco and other idiots repeating that lie - “what was so offensive? Be as specific as possible in your answer”

      And watch the meltdown.

      Taco has mostly surrounded himself with asskissing dumbfucks who give him nothing but soft-jobs at every opportunity. So he’s rarely confronted with any real acts of journalism, but every once in a while one sneaks in there like that guy in the UK.

      But certainly every other doofus trying to pull this shit in front of cameras where there are people that still think they are doing journalism - they should drill deeper on that.

      I am loving how much of a Streisand effect this is causing.

      I want them to play the Kimmel video to see how ridiculous this shit is, and spam it on all the news channels.

    They cannot possibly think this situation is going to end well for them. They have to be utterly deluded.

      I disagree, they don’t see anything to worry about. The only people running around the pitchforks are the Department of Truth and the Department of War.

      Democrats should make it clear that any company that colludes with MAGA will be shut down and its assets expropriated.

      Oops, sorry, we’re talking about the Democrats. The best we’ll get from them is a “strong letter” from Schumer expressing his misgivings.

    Here’s my tribute: a lesson from Matthew 25 verses 42 to 46 (KJV since the fundies love it so much despite its errors):

    For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

    I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

    Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

    Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

    And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
