In Australia “sook” is slang for a crybaby, one who behaves like a spoilt child when they don’t get their own way.
You can be a sook or have a sook I.E. behave is a sooky manner. Most apt for this guy!

How about we treat every young man who wants to buy a gun like every woman who wants to get an abortion - mandatory 48 hour waiting period, parental permission, a note from his doctor proving he understands what he’s about to do, having to watch a video about the effects of gun violence. Let’s close down all but one gun shop in every state and make him travel hundreds of miles, take time off work, and stay overnight in a strange town to get a gun. Make him run the gauntlet of people holding photos of deceased loved ones who were shot and calling him a murderer begging him not to buy a gun!

Charlie Kirk’s tweet about South Park’s ICE episode basically saying “they love me”, ICE appropriating a frame and linking it to their recruitment website. They are on Fantasy Island. To call out their immoral behaviour you are anti-Christian, have TDS or Fake News!
It’s an alternate reality.
Actual Xitter posted by Charlie Kirk where he has changed his avatar to South Park’s cartoon of him and reposted “MAGA Voice’s” tweet containing a clip of South Park ridiculing him. Proudly telling people “Liberals can’t stand this” DHS Xitter account posting a frame of from South Park’s ICE episode (which mercilessly mocks them) and containing a link to ICE recruiting website.

Thanks for your post. Just be clear SkyNews is Aussie Fox News. Having said that, even they knew they couldn’t get away with “caught in the crossfire”
Despite giving TACO the last word here, surprisingly balanced article - for Sky

Sonnet #73
~ William Shakespeare

“That time of year
Thou mayst in me behold”
(In alt text)

It’s Winter and I’m feeling old
That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. In me thou see'st the twilight of such day As after sunset fadeth in the west, Which by and by black night doth take away, Death's second self, that seals up all in rest. In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire That on the ashes of his youth doth lie, As the death-bed whereon it must expire, Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by. This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong, To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
