This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

The seeds of Trump’s destruction have already been sown. Between the crashing economy, his brazen corruption, and the Epstein scandal, it's a question of when — not if — he's done for.

The US has been the de facto world leader for 80 years since WWII. In just a few months, Republicans have made the US far weaker and less relevant than at any time in living memory.
My latest: On how despite all Trump's efforts to the contrary, his is an incredible shrinking presidency. Unfortunately, he is also making the entire US weaker and less relevant along the way. www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...
Donald Trump’s Presidency Is Making America Irrelevant
Foreign leaders—along with those here at home—have concluded that the only way to live with Trump is to learn to live without him.

Middle and low-income earners’ consumer confidence is plummeting, while high earners’ is going up.

Be warned: this spells doom for our consumer spending-driven economy.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Remember during the Yalta conference when FDR went on and on about how busy DC's bars were, and Stalin was like, have you seen the lines outside the Moscow bars, and poor Churchill couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Trump on DC: "The restaurants the last two days were busier than they've been in a long time." (Data in fact shows restaurant business dropping sharply over last week.)

This week, @realDonaldTrump referred to Alaska being Russian, twice. Today, he called St. Petersburg Leningrad.

If this were the “Manchurian Candidate”, the President would be exposed as a Russian agent.

"The president is creating a diversion of a make believe, fake situation."

The former vice chief of the National Guard Bureau, Retired Major General Randy Manner, is right: President Trump is abusing emergency powers for political gain.

The Army has activated about 800 D.C. National Guard soldiers to support law enforcement across the nation’s capital.

Trump collaborator and nominee for U.S. Attorney for D.C., Jeanine Pirro, abruptly ended a press conference after facing real questions. She had been touting that a federal deployment of more than 850 led to just 23 arrests, most for minor offenses, in a city of 702,250 people.

Whitehouse: "Let me mention first just how very bizarre it is that the Deputy AG is going out to do a witness interview. It really raises the question whether he's doing that in the role as Deputy AG, or if he's stepping back into his role as Trump criminal defense lawyer."

Trump is skipping over all potential checks on use of force. Intl law - no claim of self defense. US law - no AUMF, does not meet WPR criteria, Article 2 so stretched it’s tearing. Partisan congressional notification only. Intel and defense principals objected. Vast majority of Americans opposed. 1/
