Why can’t some people resist putting things in every orifice? There’s gotta be some innate drive to do this. Does anyone here relate? What’s the attraction? I want to understand. Seeing weird-shaped things is clearly appealing somehow.

Somebody’s going to wind up in the ER over these.
Flared bases, people!
Honestly, this sounds to me like something a sociopath would say, which is why I don’t buy it when these people are using the ‘full context’ defence here.
The difference between empathy and sympathy is subtle, yet important, and (I think) exposes that he was a sociopath.
I’m not sure how to explain what I mean other than that sympathy is passive whilst empathy is active. Sympathy exists at arms length, whilst empathy is truly felt. Or, perhaps, sympathy is cerebral whilst empathy is emotional.
Does that make sense? I think sociopaths can understand sympathy, and maybe can tell themselves they ‘feel’ it, but empathy is a foreign concept – and in Charlie Kirk’s mind, a weakness.
So, for me, the context actually makes this quote worse.
Man page me daddy.
It works, DON’T TOUCH IT.
This article from 2010 quotes and links to that same Twitter account as being his, so it looks real as far as I can tell. Other articles and references I’ve found more recently also link to that same account. It looks legit.
Remember, the blue check no longer means ‘verified’ – now it only means ‘paid for premium’ (since Musk took over, he changed it such that you just have to pay monthly for the blue check, not be the verified person), so I wouldn’t put stock in that blue check now.
e: it’s at the bottom, here’s the quote:
Meanwhile Shuster hasn’t made a peep on Twitter since MSNBC called his direct tweets to O’Keefe “inappropriate.” It will be one week tomorrow morning – we’ve reached out to MSNBC to see if there has been any suspension. Either way, he can communicate through Red Eye‘s in-box…
Mormons have historically been extremely racist. It was pretty recently that they stopped preaching that black people are black because god cursed them (the curse of Ham). They put on a smiling, demure front, and the church has tried very hard to rehabilitate their image, but the Mormon religion is pretty fucked up.
For their sake, I hope you’re right.
e: and, putting myself in their shoes as a child whose father was both prominent and absent (though not dead), I idolised him well into my 30s. Raising a teen boy finally disabused me of his sainthood. He’s still the most remarkable man I’ve ever met, but he’s also fallible.
If he’d been dead, I may never have been forced to accept he’s human.
Most old, white comedians are fucking awful people. Who knew? /S
These guys were always losers. They told us so, and we said ‘lol? They’re kidding! They’re like us!’ Then we made light of the fucking jerks in our own lives.
But it turns out they actually were jerks or worse, and they’ve banded together enough that they think they can tell the rest of us what to do.
We need to show them they can’t,
None of those people mattered, duh.
Depends. I expect his wife is just as alt-right-addled as he was, which might mean she’ll raise them to be little Nazis. I guess they might break out of that, and I hope so, but being raised alt-right with a prominent martyr to the cause as your father could seriously fuck you up. Don’t forget they’re very rich, so they’re insulated from the real world.
Fucking LOL!
Yeah. I believe that exactly as much as everything else you and your fascist compatriots have said.
