Trump Orders Flags to Half-Staff for Charlie Kirk

[Tropical Wilds]

Your complete lack of response to my post #22 is duly noted, but not interesting, only expected, coming from your side.

I replied twice. Then asked for clarification, you declined.

As I said, clocked and noted.

Has it slipped your mind that it's not just you and I here, that other people can read your posts?

Oh I’m counting on it.

The left ALWAYS frames his comments ONLY with regards to children.

Stupid left always so worried about children. What goofballs.

How so?

He was not particularly bright, but he was politically shrewd and very aggressive.

He was smarter than me too.

Not disputing that.

Reality is only offensive to the deluded and prideful.

But you're describing an alternate reality, deliberately offensive.

Considering Trump is also giving Kirk a posthumous Medal of Freedom, I don't have a problem with lowering the flags to half-staff for him. He was a champion for MAGA, and MAGA is in charge.

Charlie Kirk believed in me and my generation. We should honor him by speaking with courage

Charlie Kirk's murder represents an attack on civil discourse, but his legacy of mentoring Gen Z conservatives continues to inspire action.

Could you point me to which posts you replied in?

Half staff is for allies, not national enemies.

How was she a national enemy?

62, 73, 79, 88, 94, 97, 101…

Actually, I was being dismissive. I’m not a “leftist” so I didn’t think that anything you said applied to me so I wasn’t bothered one way or the other, so a “I know what you are but what am I” wouldn’t have made sense.

I have no reason to believe you and believe this is just cope.

With stances like you’ve just shared with the class, I’d say that’s a fair assessment. Yelling “2 + leprechaun = yellow” doesn’t really require anybody jump in to say “hey, you’re confused” followed by a stimulating debate.

People keeping making a lot of claims about the things I say - but never any attempt to refute them.

So what I’m hearing is it’s no biggie to kill elected officials as long they aren’t one of the big ones.

Interesting.

Hey man....WHATEVER it takes to make the right look good and the left look bad.

Well… I hope that the audience that graphic was designed for is able to find a measure of peace from its words.

Americans want guns so we can protect innocent people from criminals and a tyrannical government.

Maybe that's what Kirk's killer thought they were doing?

Because that's the problem - everyone will define what their version of "a tyrannical government" is.

I don't recall anyone saying that. As we learned from Charlies death "punishing" your opposition doesn't work. We can't punish our way out of the rhetoric the left is spewing. The only way to stop this violence is for those who are on the left to do it themselves. We can punish the perpetrators of violence, but only those on the ideological side of those who would do this can stop it.

So you missed when Goldenboy posted a dozen calls for civil war from the right hey?

 

[rambot]

oooohhhh.... that's what we're working with... ok


Oh? I don't remember that. To what are you referring? I do recall the incident in Charlottesville, and the incident in Austin, some others where I can see the visuals but forget the location, a couple different states trying to make it easier to run over protestors,

There was a brown guy up here in my home town who went after people....but he wasn't targetting any race or anything.

 

[Tropical Wilds]

I have no reason to believe you and believe this is just cope.

I mean, other than I don’t lie, have no reason to lie, and your argument makes zero sense…? Ok. Rock on.

People keeping making a lot of claims about the things I say - but never any attempt to refute them.

For much the same reason most of us don’t take the time to reason with the person yelling at a mailbox, I suspect. Not being one who lives in a world where my reality involves having a grudge with a mailbox, there’s not much I can say about it… Not because they’re bringing up some really good points and owning the mailbox, but because they’re yelling. At a mailbox.

Either it will work itself out and they’ll rejoin reality with the rest of us, or they won’t. Regardless, there’s nothing I can say in either case to make them realize yelling at a mailbox is craziness.

Hey man....WHATEVER it takes to make the right look good and the left look bad.

Such a weird timeline we are in.

A very inaccurate portrayal of Charlie who was well known for civil discourse with those who disagreed with him.

Again an inaccurate portrayal of his events . If there was outrage it was from those that mistakenly thought they were smarter and could not deal with his factual debate.

"Civil discourse"... you mean like saying the 1964 Civil Rights Act was a mistake, or that Martin Luther King Jr. was a person of poor character? Or the same guy that said that gays should be stoned to death. How exactly is that "civil discourse"?

Charlie Kirk was exceptionally brilliant and effective. You are just applying copium.

Because that's the problem - everyone will define what their version of "a tyrannical government" is.

The delusional people might - sure - because no one recognize Charlie Kirk as any form of government.

This is why Trump wants to stop transgender people from being allowed to purchase and own guns.
