Yep.
If the right *truly* believed Charlie Kirk was a defender of free speech and someone who was fine with dissenting opinions, they wouldn't be engaged in a massive campaign to punish anyone who didn't "mourn him properly."
They clearly know all of that is bullshit. Only the media was conned.

Kristi Noem: "The last thing Charlie had texted me about, about a day or two before he passed away, was about those mayors and governors. He wanted them to be held accountable for how dangerous they were making the situation for their people that had to live in those cities."

If Bill Clinton raped girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should rot in prison.
If Donald Trump raped girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should rot in prison.
That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

When I was a kid, I had to endure this exact talk about Reagan. And history has hardly been kind to him.
Rep. Ashley Hinson on Trump: "I think he's going to go down as the best president in our history."

Native-born. They can’t use the word they want to use. Yet.
HASSETT: Most of jobs created in the US are for native-born workers

HASSETT: We have a survey. Now, maybe we don't trust the surveys, right?

Fried left-over steel-cut oats. Save leftovers in a buttered baking dish, then fry the next morning in butter until crisp (whole or in squares). Break out the maple syrup or the strawberry jam!

My phone logged no government alert today. I have never been to a gender reveal party. I feel these things must form a connection.

Truly, truly dystopian. It’s hard to believe his handlers allow this … until you remember their utopian tech-bro hope for a “post-human” world.
This is frankly one of the worst things Donald Trump has ever posted, which is really saying something

Ossoff: He never should have been confirmed by the senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a fool…

And yet the market rises. Deck chairs, the Titanic.
BRUTAL JOBS REPORT: Just 22,000 jobs added in August. Unemployment rises to 4.3%. Broader jobless rate jumps to 8.1%. Slowest 4-month growth since 2020. Plus, downward revisions for June and July of -21,000. Yikes.
