MAGA has been conditioned to clap for one of their own, no matter. |

I haven't had the chance to read all the 30 pages of this thread since I last checked in last night, so apologies if this is repetitive - but have you folks seen these videos going around that were taken from inside the stadium last night?
It looks like a very large percentage of the crowd exited the stadium when Trump took the stage. This is the first hopeful thing I've seen come out of this whole post-Kirk-assassination. I hope this link works, I'm sharing from Facebook not sure how to do it: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1282889620550304 |

Given that means that there were twice as many chapter requests (each chapter having multiple members) than there are high schools and colleges combined, I would say that it is insignificant. |

Why yes they are.

| Why is T so full of hate? What a miserable way to live - to be so full of negativity. He has money and fame. He could just enjoy his life instead of showing the world over and over what a low IQ he has. His life must be so sad and empty. |

This is an outside view, I'm still trying to figure out how to embed the interior video that shows the stadium at least half or more empty as Trump takes the stage to speak. People showed up for Charlie and Erika, but a great many of them had no interest in hearing Trump!

| The State Farm Stadium in Arizona seats 63,400 -- where, pray tell, were these other 140,000 people? |

Charlie Kirk's death is coverer by this thread.
I think EriKa KirK's new grift deserves a new thread. |

I don't understand the mathematical argument you're making. |

The online requests are coming from individual students, not individual schools. There might be 500 students from a single college who filled out the online form as they perused the TPUSA website following Kirk's murder. Some of them might even be filling it out and sending it from a school that already has a TPUSA chapter because let's face it - as any college instructor will attest - some college kids aren't so good at details. I really think it's a bit silly to be drawing any conclusions from this exhaustively repeated number. |

People are doing a deep dive on her history prior to meeting Charlie Kirk. It's very interesting. Almost seems like he fell victim to some type of honeypot scheme. |

Spin spin spin, TPUSA spox. |

It was set up this way. Good cop/bad cop. Her “forgiveness” is just PR. Live Charlie’s “civility” was. He was a hateful bastard but because he didn’t raise his voice, ppl like Ezra Klein were signing his praises. Erika probably focused grouped her initial “You killers will pay!” And learned real quick she needs to play the demur & biblical wife. It’s all a shtick, it’s all a grift. |

1. Black pilots don't get hired because they are black. They are hired because they pass required certifications. The GOP view, of course, is that if, say, a university aerospace program made a point ot visiting a majority-black high school to encourage students to consider flying as a career, that would be unlawful DEI and they would be investigated by DHHS with threats to their funding. 2. The prisoner exchange was controversial, and the controversy was not entirely on the right. According to Wikipedia, the Russians considered Whelan a spy and wanted a Russian assassin released in exchange for him, where Griner and the arms dealer were only considered criminals. I would also consider that Griner ws a civilian and Whelan did have military background. He had also been court martialed for larceny and given a bad conduct discharge, while also making loans to an FSB friend (which the Russians said was payment for intelligence). 3. The transcript where he is talking about the bike incident is not about soft on crime policies, he is talking about people being conditioned to assume in an interracial confrontation the white person is terrorizing the black person. Although in the same program he refers to blacks "prowling" looking for white people to target. So he's doing the same kind of conditioning in reverse (fwiw let's say there are people who are prowling around who have criminal intent and also happen to be black; the idea that they are "targeting white people" as Kirk says in the transcript is suspect in my view. Then thre's this: Do you know that more than six hundred, is that, is that stat real Blake? C’mon, is it real? I don’t know if that stat is real. Okay, I'm going to say it. More than six hundred white women a year are murdered by Black men. Six hundred white women a year. Did you know that? By Blacks. So six hundred white women are murdered by Blacks a year. --he freely admits he doesn't know if this is a fact but " I don’t know if that stat is real. Okay, I'm going to say it." I just happened to check the FBI crime states. They show in 2018 (the most recent year for the data I could find) 1921 female homicide victims, and of those the perpetrator for 745 were black. But they DON'T say how many victims were white. They do say that of 3315 white homicide victims, the offender was black in 514, which is very close to the percentage of the population that is black. So we have 514 white victims of homicides committed by black offenders--how may of them are women? It doesn't say, but given the overall ratio of women killed compared to men, applying that same ratio to 514 victims would yield 150. Did Kirk care about accuracy? No. He wanted to "sociall condition" worries about prowling blacks targeting white women. 4. 1/3/2024: “If I'm dealing with somebody in customer service who's a moronic Black woman, I don't — I wonder, is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because affirmative action? It almost creates thought patterns that are not necessarily wholesome. It creates resentment, doesn't it? This is not a way to design society.” It takes a certain kind of animus to assume that a customer service rep who isn't doing what you want them to do is an affirmative action hire, or. . . just a hire (and I have a suspicion he probably was not very nice to customer service reps). Anyway, customer service is often a high turnover, low rung job and definitely not the kind of job somebody would hit up to get extra credit as an affirmative action hire. If I actually thought about it, I might consider the possibility she's in that job because other opportunities were less available to her than to a white woman with the same education. 5. The affirmative action comments are particularly contemptible. Is this what he thinks about Clarence Thomas? We don't know if Thomas actually was an affirmative action hire, but we do know that Yale had a 10% quota to admit black law students at the time. We also know he was picked for his nomination because it was a "black seat" on the Supreme Court. More to the point, there is no basis to assume that people who DID get their job or their college admission through affirmative action (when it existed) are therefore deficient and "stealing" a spot from a white person. What about Ben Carson? "Still, Carson says he knew his minority background was valuable, saying "most of the top colleges were scrambling to enroll blacks." "The school reps flocked around me because of my high academic achievements, and because I had done exceptionally well on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), ranking somewhere in the low ninetieth percentile — again, unheard of from a student in the inner city of Detroit," he wrote."--this is from politifact. Not sure what was typical for Yale back in 1969, but low 90s is not that impressive. You are straining to sugarcoat this. |
