by who?


He was recently pushing to release the Epstein files. Given the precision of his hit and the fact that he wasn’t caught, my guess is Israel or Russia.

We should know more about the private plane that took off and off radar to Mexico right after he was shot.


He backed off on that on Trump's direct orders a while back. Trump doesn't want the Epstein materials released for obvious reasons so he got his zealots, including CK, in line.


CK stopped doing that on Monday, renewed his call for the files to be released and said he thought Epstein was a Mossad agent.


Charlie Kirk had called for the full release of the Epstein files several days ago as well linking Epstein to Israeli intelligence, and then suddenly ends up dead by a single shot made from 200 yards away. The fact that the shooter hasn't been caught yet, and already the left is getting blamed is more suspicious. This seems like he was putting too much pressure on the Epstein issue and was silenced because of it.

Here's the video of him calling for the files to be released. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOda98IEjzx/

Stop equating apathy with celebration.

I don’t support what happened to Charlie. Charlie supported what happened to Charlie. And me saying that it doesn’t mean I’m “celebrating”.

+1 stealing from a friend
Things I disagree with:
1. Charlie Kirk
2. shooting Charlie Kirk


I might hate what you say but I will fight for your right to say it without the threat of violence (or arrest.)

I almost teared up at the statement by W. of all people. Whoever is running his post presidential comms nailed this.

"Today, a young man was murdered in cold blood while expressing his political views. It happened on a college campus, where the open exchange of opposing ideas should be sacrosanct. Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens. May God bless Charlie Kirk and his family, and may God guide America toward civility."

I have no problem with the open exchange of political ideas. I'm happy to debate legitimate policy issues like trade policy, tariffs, environmental regulations, arming Ukraine, etc. In that sense I certainly concur with the sentiments above.

But my problem with the populist right-wing is that their "political" issues go beyond policy, and focus on who counts as an American and as a human being. My sexual orientation, gender, race, and religion are not up for debate or discussion, and I'm not interested in the "free exchange" of ideas on these topics. There has to be a set of ground rules for politics that acknowledges America as a pluralistic and diverse society. If MAGA isn't willing to acknowledge that fact, then there's no basis for common dialog.

What if it was a Republican who shot him?

I was shocked by it yesterday, but I'm already sort of losing interest in it (even though I realize the irony of still posting about it).

I've gotten pretty desensitized to violence, thanks to the country's lack of gun control laws.


So you want to move on from his murder before law enforcement catches his killer?

DP- Yes, in Melania’s words , I don’t care. Now release the Epstein files. Enough with this distraction.

Progressives didn’t need podcasts because they had the legacy media, FB, and Twitter.

LOL. Yeah, Progressives are absolutely owning Twitter. Have you been in a coma for the last 5 years?

Probably better known as Hassan the Hun or Hassan Piker, but this is the best suggestion.

What amendment are you looking for?

Charlie Kirk's death will be long forgotten by the midterms.


Let’s see for starters:

(1) Ending anchor babies. If you enter illegally you can never gain citizenship. Babies born of illegal parents are not automatically US citizens.
(2) Permanently set the number of SOTUS judges. No packing the court.
(3) Air-tight voter ID requirements. Must be a US citizen to vote.
(4) Legalize abortion up to 12-15 weeks with exceptions. Yes I actually agree with the Dems on this one. In fact, I’m betting most aborted babies would have turned into Dems/Libs so let them abort away.
(5) Prohibit gerrymandering. Not sure how to draw the congressional districts fairly and without bias because everyone has a bias especially the lefty bias on DCUM.
(6) Balanced Budget requirement
(7) Prohibit PACs and anything to do with big money influencing politics.
(8) Term limits for Congressman and Senators.
(9) Change the 2nd Amendment to restrict gun ownership. I don’t think this will stop criminals and those with criminal intent from acquiring guns but it’s a start.


I’m sure I can come up with more.


Not what I was expecting. Some good middle-ground and common sense stuff in there.


How stupid are you?

Our elections are basically fraud free. And it’s not illegals that voted illegally it was republicans in Florida and mark meadows and Tommy Tubberbille and glen Youngkin’s twat of a son who should be in jail. The Heritage foundation did a study eve. They said it’s a nothing burger moron!



If it’s a nothing burger then it shouldn’t be a problem implementing strict voter ID requirements to prove you are a citizen of the appropriate age, and of the appropriate geographical area. Many states already have this.


It's a nothingburger until it's not.

My 83-year-old WWII Marine lost his ID in a nursing home. He was too frail to go to the DMV.

Under your rules, he wouldn't be able to vote.

Lots of the poor run into this as well. No IDs, because IDs AREN"T FREE.



Huh? When was this? WWII veterans are at least 99+ years old now.


It was an example. There are a thousand iterations of such a situation. In a time like this can’t you argue your ideas in good faith?
