      Sooo… I’m guessing the complaints are coming from people who didn’t watch it? Because I can’t put my finger on anything that was horrible or false or anything.

        My guess is that the right wing propaganda machine to hide the epstein connections, doesn’t want it shown that trump takes kirk lightly and doesn’t give a shit about his death. It’s hard to keep it going if dear leader doesn’t even care.

        his mocking of Trump’s grieving of that dude’s death was low and distasteful regardless, to say the least.

        Edit (and keep downvoting me if you want):

        Trump is a narcissistic psycopath who is incapbable of symapthy that’s why he is expressing his grief through emotionless shock. This is the way all psycopaths sincerely express their condolences. It does not mean you make fun of them or make fun of death of someone who is already dead.

        Charlie Kirk is meeting up with god in front of all the maimed kids of Gaza which he advocated for their slaughter and genocide. He deserves that and it’s ironic how he was killed and the world is better without him.

        I want to say a million thing but I can’t bring myself to make fun of his death or make fun of the grieving of his supporters or family. That is not in me regardless of how much I disagree, hate and wish harm upon these people.

      I’ve been saying that the billionaires and oligarchs — who own the majority of the S&P500 and political class — WANT fascism for the last 2 decades. They are behind it’s political resurgence, globally; most have already publicly stated things that prove they are authoritarian sociopaths (Musk, Thiel, the Koch’s, Ellison, Zuck, etc).

      This explains why Trump has never seen the invite or a prison cell, despite 100 clear as day felonies, why the Dem establishment has never done more than performative resistance, etc.

        They always do. When capitalism starts to falter and the public opinion starts to turn on the system the ownership class goes right to fascism to crush the population.
