The ultimate FAFO. I thought it was snark when someone here said Chuckie's last words as a Wingnut Culture Warrior were some RW racist shit - "counting or not counting gang violence?" then a second later the leopard bit the jugular. It was a perfect distillation of all that's been wrong with Wingnuttia for decades now. Racism, mocking lib'ruls and a neck shot at a school. Throw in an affair and a drug addiction and it would've been a grand slam.
I can see why you thought it was snark because it’s too perfect, but no, he died as he lived…sowing hate and division for his own per$onal gain. His wife’s go fund me is gonna set records, if she’s crass enough to do it.
Harper is a damn fine community college. A friend of mine was a philosophy Ph. D. who eventually landed a full time job, but when he adjuncted around Chicago, his favorites were Harper and Lake County. He found the students there were often better than the ones at Loyola
The same people who distrust the lying, Soros-bought fake MSM with their alternative facts are really buying into this news about Charlie Kirk dead. But I thought we weren't supposed to trust the liberal MSM. Which is it? (TBF, I think it's moreso about how Daddy sent the shooter because this wacko knew Daddy was on the Epstein list...but it's still amazing how easily they go against their own words about CNN, MSNBC, HuffPo and others being fake news.)
Somewhat related, watching a video of the "Unite the Kingdom" from yesterday. Seems equal amount of UK and England flags, along with several US flags. A few "Jesus" crosses, and even a Knights Templar flag (which has been co-opted by White Supremacists). There is a reason I use White Supremacists and not White Nationalists when talking about the racism we are seeing in the US.
The shooter actually did want Kirk to speak. He wanted Kirk to say an ironic thing to say just before getting shot, and Kirk obliged him.
Is it a shame that he didn't get to speak on the Colorado shooting or would that have been too much irony?
We don’t need to know what he would have said because we know what he DID say about past school shootings. I’m not sure which is more depressing…that someone like Kirk gained that much influence, or that everyone with power is just yadda yadda yaddaing who he really was, and in doing so mainstreaming it. Probably two sides of the same coin.
Podcasting has almost no restrictions. If someone gets tossed from a distribution platform, does it really matter when they can upload to their website? At least there's corporate standards with a radio show.

Channel 4 to mark Trump’s UK visit with ‘longest uninterrupted reel of untruths’ Broadcaster to dedicate Wednesday night schedule to unpicking US president’s false or misleading statements More than 100 of Donald Trump’s inaccurate statements are to be dissected by Channel 4 to coincide with his state visit, in what it described as “the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television”. ... “Donald J Trump loves making history,” said Ian Katz, Channel 4’s chief content officer. “So, on Wednesday Channel 4 will do just that: we’ll show what we believe to be the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television. “We hope it will remind viewers how disorientating and dangerous the world becomes when the most powerful man on Earth shows little regard for the truth. And if President Trump cares to watch along after the state banquet, he may even clear up a few misconceptions.” This, this, a thousand times this
Shortly after the Boston bombing, Jon Stewart made a video (which I haven't been able to find), where he disparaged all the Faux "News"'s anchors for quickly doing away with the Bill of Rights, except, off course, their interpretation of the second Amendment. Fast forward, 12 years, and that's basically what the Trump administration is calling for, to do away with every single right that the constitution granted, and, given the right events, they will even do away with the 2A, because off course, there's no honesty in what they profess to believe.
you see them tectonic-level trenches back there? that's where the media dragged their feet on this or that issue because its customers didn't want to read/hear about it. Over centuries. I halfway can't say I blame them. Fox takes more of their share daily, either by lying about them or by attracting more people who want to hear what Fox says. They have to sanitize every issue if they want to safely negotiate the cesspool of conservative or centrist leaning people who pay them to stay in business.
