• Man, I saw that woman make a speech in honor of her husband and it sounded exactly like me giving a book report on a book I absolutely did not read because my brother rented Final Fantasy Tactics and I needed to finish it before it went back to Blockbuster.

    Yall are being unfair. There’s no more appropriate way to honor Charlie Kirk than grifting.

      The water fountain with Hawaiian punch from Mister Deeds comes to mind as the best way to honor him.

    Shouldn’t she be taking care of her children and submitting to God’s will instead of pretending to take on a leadership role? That’s very inappropriate for a woman.

    You say that as if mercilessly exploiting every opportunity to make money isn’t the exact way people become rich in the first place. There’s pretty much no other way to do it these days, at least not in America; you’re either honorable and poor, or dishonorable and maybe rich, though probably still poor.

    Have you guys still not understood that americans (not all, duh) are completely caught up in performative gestures? Their prosperity gospel so many believe in basically commands them to donate in order to show their affiliation and piety.

    I would prefer to support a Nigerian prince. Odds are that they could actually make decent use of the money for themselves and their community.

    Grifters gotta grift and I mean she’s sick enough to live stream herself performatively crying over his body for views and clout so not even remotely surprising.

        I thought old Chucky had grifted millions from Toilet Paper. Unless he had a prenup or something she’ll get all that christofascist money and will never have to worry about working like the rest of us plebes.

    Anyone that watched her response video knows full well she’s a grifter. Her acting was worse than Katie Britt in her SOTU response. One of the first things she said about Charlie is that if he were here today he’d say “Go Ducks”. Because Oregon. Then proceeded to threaten the world with retribution as if Charlie Kirk dying was the same as opening the Ark of the Covenant. Wraps it up by asking for money. Rofl, it’s so nakedly greedy it’s pathetic. These people are so fake.

      I was so fucking disgusted when I watched her video. It was so cringe and obviously fucking fake and weird. Also why did she say anything at all, nobody needed to hear from her. And so quickly? All about the grift with these people. Felt icky and psychotic.

        I may have taken a bullet to the neck and died. But there’s one thing I want everyone to know, first and foremost:

        GO DUCKS!!!

        Are MAGAts really that simple? Just bleat sports team nonsense and they’re all in?

          It’s been ten years… If you’re still on the fence about whether the Trump devotees are paste eaters then I’m not sure what to tell you.

          These people always existed but with the modern social media fire hose they have become very easy to control.

          No one can think critically 100 percent of the time but a server never sleeps and it can bombard you with bullshit 24 / 7 / 365 no problem.

            No. I know they’re morons. I’m just surprised that they’re this gullible. Not believing things they don’t understand is one thing… buying these weak, thinly veiled performances from charlatans is another. MAGAts will never beat the charge that they’re in a cult.

    There’s never a bad time to grift. Husband assassinated? Grifting time! Husband not assassinated? Grifting time!

    Don’t forget to keep buying Trump coins. They are going to the moon! (for some reason)
