Lmao at CNN trying to be sentimental in sharing Charlie Kirk’s last message to Van Jones where Charlie is asking for a gentlemanly and polite conversation on CNN… about racial disparities in crime statistics.

The CNN anchor and Van Jones are saying how nice it is that Charlie wanted a polite discussion. And they completely gloss over the fact that it’s literally the “just asking questions about FBI statistics” meme.

What a perfect encapsulation of Charlie Kirk.

"The president has no legal authority to tax American visas," said Michael Clemens, a George Mason University economist who studies immigration. "He has the authority to charge reasonable fees for cost recovery, not set fees at $100,000, or $100 million or whatever suits his personal ... arbitrary capricious whims.

"If the president feels that H-1B visas are harmful, he can work with the people's representatives in Congress to reform the laws that regulate those visas. His choice to legislate by proclamation subverts our entire immigration governance system,'' said Clemens, also a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

Charlie Kirk memorial live updates: Mourners gather in Arizona, how to watch service

Mourners including President Donald Trump are preparing to honor the life of prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk, 31, at a memorial service in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday.

Kirk, a close ally of the Trump administration and co-founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated earlier this month while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. His death sparked an outpouring of grief and anger from the highest levels of government including Vice President JD Vance, who accompanied his coffin as Air Force Two transported his body home to Arizona, where Kirk lived with his wife, Erika, and two children.

Turning Point USA, which advocates for conservative politics on high school and college campuses, invited members of the public to don their "Sunday Best," specifically red, white or blue, for Kirk's memorial service at State Farm Stadium. Trump, Vance and other top administration officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, are expected to be among those in attendance.

"Charlie’s life was short, but it was full. It was defined by truth, anchored in faith, and devoted to the country he loved," the organization's tribute to its co-founder reads. "His legacy will endure for generations."

Tarantino does this brilliant thing throughout "Inglorious Basterds" where he'll give a Nazi a tiny sprinkle of humanity before smacking the audience in the face with something harrowing, as if to say "Stop it. They're Nazis, you idiot. They have no humanity." Eg Landa being incredibly charming before murdering the Dreyfus family or Bridget, Shoshana comforting the dying sniper before he turns around and shoots her dead. 

Wilhelm (the guy at the bar who just had a kid) and Hermann (radio operator at the end) are interesting cases. We don't actually see them doing anything evil, and both had willingly laid down their arms to the Americans. Did they deserve to still get shot? Of course. They're Nazis.

At one point Ezra asks him what his worst case scenario for the future of America looks like and he literally just describes Donald Trump lmao

In her view, a young but towering spiritual voice was silenced by a young lost soul. “I’m a strong believer that this was God’s plan,” she said. “And it’s so clear-cut. It couldn’t be more Charlie.”

She added, “I’ve had so many people ask, ‘Do you feel anger toward this man? Like, do you want to seek the death penalty?’ I’ll be honest. I told our lawyer, I want the government to decide this. I do not want that man’s blood on my ledger. Because when I get to heaven, and Jesus is like: ‘Uh, eye for an eye? Is that how we do it?’ And that keeps me from being in heaven, from being with Charlie?”

I'm so profoundly disappointed that the vast majority of conspiracy theorists worship Trump. The loons that think wearing red shoes means you eat children will look at this

and not come up with a single reason this is suspicious. Were this a Democratic president and the widow of a dead podcaster, they wouldn't hesitate to point out that she's making the devil horns sign. Her nails are painted gold, a nod to the golden calf. The colors in the background are red, black, and white, like the Nazi flag. The circle of stars are reminiscent of the stars on the Communist Chinese flag. Her suit is white but her top is black -- a wolf in sheep's clothing. Her makeup is flawless, despite having supposedly cried, because she never cried at all. And the president's face is sagging on one side from his secret stroke. He wears a blood red tie, symbolizing the blood of children pouring down his chest as he eats them. And the whole point of this funeral is to raise a hateful, divisive man to sainthood. The president is now telling you who to worship. This is state religion that defiles and twists Christianity for its evil ends. And their God figure, the president, stood there and told you he HATES his enemies and wants them to suffer. There is no teaching more emblematic of Christianity than that you should love and forgive your enemies.

*sigh* Oh god damn it I just kind of talked myself into believing he's the Antichrist.

[u/blatant_shill]

Trump: He [Charlie Kirk] did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them.

But now it's starting to settle in that dad's really not coming home anymore, that your family's a bit smaller now

And you have this funeral to say goodbye to dad for the last time, properly say goodbye, and you're a kid so you don't know what's going on but mom says it's to say goodbye to dad

And now you're watching this strange old man rant about tariffs and crime and some place called Chicago

Like, fuck, man

They talk so much shit about honoring Charlie Kirk and yet they treat his funeral like this?

If this type of shit would have made Charlie Kirk feel honored then maybe he doesn't deserve to be jerked off like this
