Uh, he literally has his BFF killed, according to many. Trump is exactly the kind of guy to stab his friend in the back if it served him. People really don’t understand Trump at all. |
I'd never even heard of Charlie Kirk before today. |
X is 90% bots and 7% trolls with a handful of real/official people otherwise. Hardly a credible source to cite. |
+1 and the algorithm will show you exactly what gets you incensed. Get a grip, people, and get off these toxic platforms. |
I have been off twitter for several years now. It was starting to get weird so I quit. I think a lot of levelheaded people are getting off the apps which leaves that crazies as the dominant people as well as bots. |
Not a Trump fan, not a Kamala fan, but this is so messed up to hear people say this was fake, staged, that he deserved it, etc. |
I’m going to take a social media and DCUM break for the rest of the week and I advise everyone else to do the same. Go on a hike, hang out with friends. These troubling times cannot be permanent and as anxiety inducing as it is, this will eventually pass. |
I haven’t heard anyone say that. |
Read this thread. The whole thread |
DP I received a text from a family member asking if I had seen that Charlie Kirk had been shot. I didn’t recognize his name and turned to a twenty-something co-worker who didn't know whether. I didn’t know his name, but after I saw the initial news I was like, “Oh. That guy”. I remembered having seen some video clips. |
I don’t think that it was any of those, but it doesn’t strike me as unlikely that a random person would be able to get on a roof, run across, lay down, set up a rifle, and shoot him in the neck from 200 yards away without being an extremely well trained shooter. |
Does, not doesn’t |

Look, I think it's awful the man died but the Kennedy Center having a moment of silence for a political pundit is inappropriate...if only because they'd never do this for a liberal pundit.
If we're going to start doing it for every political commentator, we have to do it for EVERY political commentator. |
What is it about this man in particular that has everyone so riled up about his death? Largely due to the extremely graohic video? |
