      Sooo… I’m guessing the complaints are coming from people who didn’t watch it? Because I can’t put my finger on anything that was horrible or false or anything.

        My guess is that the right wing propaganda machine to hide the epstein connections, doesn’t want it shown that trump takes kirk lightly and doesn’t give a shit about his death. It’s hard to keep it going if dear leader doesn’t even care.

          Trump isn’t grieving Trump didn’t know who the fuck he was. His team is using it for political reasons. In what religion would Charlie be in Heaven? Ah yes the American Christian religion which doesn’t listen to anything in the Bible.

          But I mean, he didn’t even compare Kirk’s neck to fountain of Kool Aid, or make fun of the look on his face, mention how he was just about to lie yet again about gun violence before he died by gun violence, or anything.

          And it’s clear you didn’t even watch this anyway if you mention Trump grieving.

      I’ve been saying that the billionaires and oligarchs — who own the majority of the S&P500 and political class — WANT fascism for the last 2 decades. They are behind it’s political resurgence, globally; most have already publicly stated things that prove they are authoritarian sociopaths (Musk, Thiel, the Koch’s, Ellison, Zuck, etc).

      This explains why Trump has never seen the invite or a prison cell, despite 100 clear as day felonies, why the Dem establishment has never done more than performative resistance, etc.

        They always do. When capitalism starts to falter and the public opinion starts to turn on the system the ownership class goes right to fascism to crush the population.

          I’d argue that for at least half of them, capitalism is just a stepping stone to their true goals. They didn’t opportunistically become fascist; they’ve always been that way
