Trump Orders Flags to Half-Staff for Charlie Kirk

[iluvatar5150]

...just a day after her husband was killed. Is she for real? Go be with your children and family. The rest of the world can wait....

And now this text just landed in my inbox....

The evildoers who took Charlie's life have NO idea what they have done.

If they thought my husband's mission was powerful before... They have NO idea what they have just UNLEASHED. Not just across this country... But in me.

They have no idea the fire they've lit inside this wife. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battlecry. The movement my husband built will not die. I refuse to let that happen.

It will grow: Stronger. Bolder. Louder. Greater than ever. I want you to hear what Charlie meant to me. And I want you to hear what comes next: https://tpusa.co/A9wo

Stop to stop

There was just one "evildoer"....

It’s good to have your partner in on your grift. Makes life easier.

Whomever is close to her should be shutting this down. The obviously rehearsed video she released and now this speaks to poltical handlers exploiting her grief. It's frankly disgusting. Then again, may this is who she is....

Regardless. The transgender person has nothing to do with it. He/she is not responsible for Kirk’s murder.

My opinion only

No , but Charlie Kirk’s Biblical stand could very well have played a part in his killers hatred.

What evidence do you have that her response was not heart felt and promoted by handlers?

That’s true.

I prefer it went to poor kids issues. But I guess it won't.

Them that's got shall get, them that's not shall lose
So the Bible tells us but still it's news
Mama may have, Papa may have,
But God bless the child that's got his own​

There's a difference between mourning a man's death, and canonizing him through political and religious hagiography. Not everybody that dies an untimely death for a cause is automatically virtuous or holy.

Great idea. Let's make a statue of Charlie Kirk put it in Manhattan's Union Square.

Did the president put the flag staff for the shooting victims or Floyd? Or the Democrats, that were murdered?

I dont understand the question.

I dont understand the question.

But she deserves credit for having a very honest and accurate screen name.

Some sources now reporting Charlie Kirk’s killer was living with a transgender person. Could be that this may have at least been a factor in the motive. Time will tell. The truth will come out .

Has it really got to be the other side’s fault somehow! ?

How many threads have you started on Charlie Kirk?

 

[BPPLEE]

You complained about the comparison being made. Both were politically motivated assassinations. There’s one way the two compare.


Then it appears to only be a cheap gesture Trump only seems to remember to give out when it’s a bit too late.

Not unless it actually is!

A few. It's been a while since there's been a story that's come to my attention with as many different aspects to discuss.

Not a great list, but I didn't put much effort into it.

I'm actually struggling to think of anybody on the left who's died in the last several years, who would have been as remotely comparable to Kirk in terms of being both high-profile and confrontational. RBG and Carter were obviously high profile, but they weren't confrontational in public.
