Trump tends to be nice to people who act fully subservient to him – those he has dominated.
And wasn’t Kirk on the “we should see the Epstein files” side of the MAGA divide except for that one afternoon when he said he was over it?
Having a problematic person publicly killed and then “honored” like this sure feels on brand for the wannabe mafia shitheads pulling the strings. It’s like how they revel in their hypocrisy rather than hiding it because they care much more about rubbing it in their enemies’ faces than they do about their own integrity.
We can be angry that a sack of shit was given an award, or we can be glad for the requirements that are needed to be met in order to receive it. I for one, am impatiently looking forward to trump’s posthumous award(s).
Lol.
He’s still dead.
Can just stuff it in the hole I guess.
Worthless medal at this point.
Everything about Kirk’s death is performative and self-serving. Even from his widow. And I hate saying that, but it’s true.
All the way back to the first so-called “memorial” whose poster included 3-people, (Vance, Trump, and Kirk’s widow) and literally no photo of Kirk himself…on a poster for HIS goddamn memorial. We all know that turned into nothing more than a MAGA rally, and from there nothing has changed.
Charlie Kuck’s dead body is being used for a grift.
Fitting, really.
and I hate saying that
Why? It’s the truth. Bitch was literally profiting off of his death within days. Money really is the only thing the right cares about.
don’t hate saying that - it’s so abundantly absurd, and deserves to be called out. The whole video Erika took is self-centered and just plain weird. I can’t say it was a loveless marriage, but she certainly wasn’t grieving his death.
Welcome to America! Where a convicted felon, pedophile and reality tv “star” is president and we worship racist, bigoted podcasters.
Just so much winning!
Anything to draw the attention away from the Epstein files.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst-Wessel-Lied
Horst Wessel was a Nazi street fighter of no great distinction. He died in a brawl with some other thugs his landlady had hired.
Because his death played into Party propaganda, he was posthumously raised to secular sainthood. The ballad of his death became a favorite Nazi marching song.
He died in a brawl
Unless I’m misremembering something, he was shot in the face when he opened his apartment door.
late recall: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_Wessel Yeah, shot at his door.
He brawled with the shotgun shell, and lost.
So just like Carotid Artery Charlie, he lost the gun debate the hard way

If the Germans get wind of this, those plagiarism charges will most certainly nail them to the cross.
Absolutely love this response! LOL
While you’re drawing parallels, remind everyone how to stop Nazis.
*stomp
In WW2 all sorts of different people put aside their differences and united. They might have thought that Winston Churchill was a bastard, but he was the one that had the best chance of stopping Hitler.
Getting behind the people who already had an organization was how they stopped the Nazis.
You might be leaving out one significant person and country in stopping the Nazis.
it is the Russian Armies who have done the main work in tearing the guts out of the German army – Winston Churchill
Let’s put aside the fact that Stalin not only trusted Hitler, he trusted Hitler so much that he executed people who reported that Hitler was planning on invading Russia. Let’s put aside the fact that Stalin crippled his own army by killing his own Generals. Let’s put aside the fact that Stalin’s rule in the USSR was so bad that it resulted in countries near him going Fascist out of fear of Communism.
It’s funny how you talk about unity against a common enemy and in the next comment argue exactly against that. Do you deny that the USSR made significant contributions in defeating the nazis?
If you’re going to put words in my mouth, please add a side of nachos?
Where did I say the USSR wasn’t a big part of the War?
Quote the exact words.
You didn’t explicitly, that’s why I asked you. But you did tiptoe around the fact by citing some agreements that Stalin had with the nazis, as that is some sort of gotcha, right after advocating for a member of the British Conservative Party which led to the ruinous policy of appeasement with the nazis (as a form of anti-communism), so I had some doubts.
Remind us 🙏 (tell me for the first time)
By killing them until their leader kills himself.
(Not inciting violoence, just stating history facts)
Fair
The brown shirt loser was overdue on his rent payment and the landlord asked some locals to help him/her out. Well, the locals were communist party members and they really took it out on him.
Communist… landlord enforcers? 🙃
Are you suggesting that the Nazis’ characterisation of someone may have been exaggerated to serve their purposes?
That’s one way to serve an eviction…
I figured this whole thing had legs, like the Wessel story. Appears our attention span is too short to give a shit about a murdered fascist.
“But some of his comments on gun violence, LGBTQ issues, race and more often drew criticism from liberals and others.”
So understated lol
“Some say killin’s too good for him.”
At this point the presidential medal of freedom is worth less then the paper crown you get at Burger King.
Arguably, you have more freedom at BK because you can have it your way.
Happy cake day!
Why is everyone hating on this? Like racism+burger king crown is literally this guy!
The award has become less than meaningless after Lush Limbaugh’s.
Just like being president.
or nobel peace prize recipient
Meme from the day Limbaugh died is about my all-time favorite.
Ehh… worthless award anymore after he bastardized it already
He can wear it from his neck piercing.
Does the medal look like a target?
Assholes of the earth.
An extraordinary champion of gun rights
No he wasn’t, he was against certain people owning firearms, wanna take a guess at which people.
He literally said that gun deaths are the price we have to pay for a free society.
I geuss the medal is for his contribution to that cause??
It’s sorta like a participation trophy, yeah
IIRC medals can’t be made of lead
It’s okay, he won’t notice.
Few people have the conviction to die for their beliefs. I don’t think he did either, but he did it anyways so props to him there I guess
Even moreso than the dudes who shot their own dicks to own the libs
I’m sorry. What?
