Good. Charlie Kirk was a Nazi for most of his life, although I hear he leaned left in the end.

u/EyeSuspicious777 5h ago
Your joke is in very poor taste, but Charlie Kirk was such a strong supporter of our first amendment rights that if he were here today he wouldn't criticize you for saying it. He would just make gurgling sounds from his neck hole.

Oh please do explain how Obama and kirk are even remotely similar...

u/Antique-Coach-214 6h ago
1) Obama’s not dead.
2) Obama was a decent human being and pushed forward policies that helped more people than he hurt.
3) Obama was President of the United States before that title was drug through the mud.
4) Kirk was a Demagogue preacher with more in common with Lorgar from Warhammer 40k than Jesus or the 12 disciples. He got done in by his own Erebus before he could do anything meaningful and in the end, will be, as Christ says, “Nothing but a sounding gong.”

both piss people off. some for good reason, others because that's what their told.
I'd get an Obama plate all day. him on the side in a brown suit would be awesome.

u/ZestyTako 5h ago edited 4h ago
I mean the people who are pissed at Obama are typically thinly veiled racists, and the people who were pissed at Kirk were pissed at his racism and other idiotic ideals. Let’s not pretend people being pissed at them is a similarity when the reason people are pissed is so disparate

These have to be bots or trolls trying to slander hasan right? This has nothing to do with hasan other than some idiots got angry at him for singing the meme song that one time.
Edit: based on the knee-jerk responses and literally pre prepared lists spammed i hope it's bots because this is some prime mental illness.

They’ve also bled out over 750k “monthly visitors” or whatever Reddit changed the metric to. It’s not nearly as popular as they try to portray it to be. Used to be around 1.2mil and down to about 500k with a large portion being bots given how almost no conversations actually happen even in the echo change.

I’ve never understood that tankie BS. He came out against Israel on October 9th, you don’t think that cost him a ton of money? Well you’re wrong it did, his viewership plummeted by nearly 40% and he lost a ton of sponsors and friends who didn’t want to risk losing their own by associating with him.
Of course he was clearly right about Israel and so many of his haters have changed their minds on it since… but not on him. He has had the same opinions for a decade. Regardless of cost to him. That’s not a tanky by definition.

He's better than Kirk, but I don't know why people like him
He's a grifter as well. He's like Tucker, pretending to come from humble roots when they both have well off families. Lied about the shock collar for his dogs.
Would love to get an actual rebuttal instead of just downvoted, but it looks like that's how these comments go

He never says he comes form humble roots what are you people smoking. He constantly calls himself a nepo baby and acknowledges he had an easier time getting to where he is than most.
I'm not even going to get into the shock collar mass psychosis as it seems if someone already made up their mind he shocked his dog* (singular) then it's useless. Kaya hurt her paw. My own dog did it plenty of times. That's it.

Problem would be a portion of the purchase price goes towards whatever organization registers it, in this case it would mean $17 of the $25 purchase price would go to Turning Point USA.

The bill would have allocated $17 of the $25 license plate fee to the Conservative Grassroots Network Special Plate Fund
No, I don't think having political patronage networks being directly funded by the State is a good thing.

The most fitting tribute to Charlie Kirk would be replacing those Big Bertha carnival games with a Kirk version. The goal is to get as many balls in his mouth as possible before the timer runs out. Beautiful shiney balls of color into his fat head while he just cheeses and chomps away.

A podcaster who used diversion tactics to "debate" college kids and edited out the ones who made him look like an idiot.
His number 1 response was "Ok, but let me ask you this....." and steer the "debate" towards one of his canned, prepared responses.
As I always said, what happened to him was horrible. He did not deserve what happened to him. But people need to stop pretending he was anything more than what he was. A propagandist.
