Since not even his wife seems to care, can they just stop reporting? Some podcaster got shot a while ago, a lot of people get shot all the time.
Kids get shot, ICE shoots people who the fuck cares about this guy?
Why was this ever big news?
They immediately used his death to try to argue that trans people are all domestic terrorists, and organized witch hunts to get people fired for making comments (often targeting professors that were on TPUSA’s hit list). There is a good chance that the Trump regime will cite the shooting as evidence that trans people should be viewed as terrorists.
I think it also really exemplifies the “reality show” - iffication of right wing American politics. The president is a reality TV star, Dr Oz is administering Medicare, Hegseth was a news personality; Erika Kirk is just an opportunistic vulture like the rest. The kind of person who spends their life trying to get on Big Brother or Survivor so that they can make a career out of partying and socializing.
I’ll never be rich or famous, and I’m a member of a group these folks actively stoke hate towards. But I’ll say this, when I die, I know my wife will actually be sad about not having me anymore. That’s something a lot of these folks can’t honestly say
Come on, did anyone think that this marriage was based on love? Please.
Correction, for her it was the event of a century. For me it was a Sunday on my 22nd wedding anniversary, and spent all morning having fun in bed with my wife because I am not dead
We are somehow surprised a shitty person had a shitty wife? There are plenty of dynamic asshole duos.
To be fair, if I was that asshole’s spouse and learned he’d just been shot, I’d have been pretty happy myself.
Should surprise no one since she obviously didn’t marry him for his looks or personality.
Some women like tiny faces. Don’t kink-shame.
You mean don’t kirk-shame?
Obviously it’s only hosted on Twitter: https://x.com/HotSpotHotSpot/status/2016323405125963895
It’s not as bad and the title makes it sound. She talks about the memorial service and having millions of people hear the gospel and stories about Kirk. She’s not giggling about the assassination. She’s a grifter, obviously, but this audio is not the bombshell Owens says it is.
Is this a way to put her back in the spotlight? If republicans have thought me anything it is that ridiculous rage baits are fair game for getting online interaction.
Eleven. days. later - I’m, like, more traumatized from seeing that snuff video then his own wife was.
I saw it accidentally and it legit fucked me up even though I hate the fuckin bastard. My ocd latched onto it hard and it replays in my mind at 2am 😅😵💫
I hate him too. It’s not even that though. You couldn’t not see that video. His wife went on a money making, fireworks widow tour. Which was obscene. I saw a video of her putting in fake tears before getting onstage. These people are psycho. She’s a realty tv star, no wonder she’s being elevated.
That is PTSD, or part of it. Go for a walk, bring someone with you, and talk to them about it. Ask them to just listen. Do that regularly. Maybe every Sunday at first. It’s not a cure, but it helps more than you would expect. If you don’t have someone, go by yourself and talk to yourself about it, out loud. Best of luck.
The first night it happened I puked from the panic of not being able to stop it. I have talked to my husband about it a few times so he’s aware of what I’m going through and it has helped lessen the fear of it. It definitely helps to talk about it. I also started a small dose of Prozac for my ocd which has helped, too. Thank you for your comment and tips, I will try that as well ❤️
Wait till you see how fast Melania moves on and profits from Donny’s death. She might set a land speed record.
Melania tacitly admitted during her husband’s first term that she is a trophy wife and married Donald for money. When asked if she married Donald for the money, she responded “he wouldn’t marry me if I’m not beautiful”.
(Disclaimer: she’s only talking about physical beauty. She’s as ugly as the devils haemorrhoids on the inside)
I also have to add that she doesn’t really look attractive too - the Mar-a-Lago face is a super ugly trend
Eh, I think she’s fine on that front, whatever procedures she has had are a bit lighter.
She doesn’t have the over the top saw-face like others in the circle that have basically mutilated themselves with ill-advised procedures.
Once he is dead, all of those creditors he doged will be fighting each other to pick the corpse clean. She will probably be shredded in the feeding frenzy.
“Doged.”
Heh heh.
Looking forward to that season of Shark Tank
They’ll make their base pay or crowdfund it, AGAIN. Dumcoin ftw!
Most of the money he’s borrowed over the last couple decades links back to Russian Oligarchs so they will likely right it off as a business expense.
She will be poor as fuck when this is all over.
MAGAs don’t do martyrs well because they’re all psychopaths, and can’t maintain the pretense of caring enough to keep someone’s legacy alive.
Don’t worry, Erika. People will forget about you and your idiot husband soon enough.
No.
Remember them forever. Rememer them the same way we remember Hitler, and for the same reason.
I think he’ll be remembered the same way we remember Horst Wessel. Much less memorable than Hitler.
Yeah, more like my memory of an itchy rash I once had on my ball bag.
Horst Wessel
More like Horst Carotid-Vessel
If she’s actually a Christian and believes in Christianity 100 percent, she would believe her dead husband is now in heaven. Why would she be sad about that if she really believes? She also has kids. Is she supposed to be sad and mope around all the time? Would it be better for her kids if she constantly was crying and not talking to anyone and staying in her room all day? Should she have thrown herself on a pyre after?
It’s fine to be critical of this woman for disagreeing with her political views, but it’s outrageous and gross for criticizing how she responds to her husband’s death. Some people like to put on a happy face in public and we have no idea what she is going through in private.
Should she have thrown herself on a pyre after?
It wouldn’t have to be after. Anytime would be fine.
Why would she be sad about that if she really believes?
Because her loved one is no longer on Earth where she can live her life with him? My mom is 1000% a believer, and she was still an absolute wreck when my dad died, when my tia died, and when my brother died. Her only comfort is that “they’re in heaven”, but it did little to lessen the blow because she genuinely loved these people in her life, and now they’re just gone.
Erika eagerly jumped into the spotlight right after her husband was murdered, and has been happily riding the wave of new fame/attention. I’m not sure if you’ve ever lost someone that close to you, but there’s no way I could’ve pulled myself together enough to do that after my dad or brother died - much less if it was my life partner.
What do you think about the second half of the article, which talks about her inviting a pedophile protecting Christian pastor on tour with her?
No amount of Christianity faiths away grief. Whatever you may sincerely think in your mind, you will feel the weight of the loss
Neither do folks necessarily expects a widow or widower to be wholly consumed by grief, and maybe even after 11 days be able to normally engage with normal life, though as far as my experience has been, such a traumatic death tends to impact people longer…
However, it is difficult to imagine such a cheerful, at ease demeanor in the context of discussing the memorial, and celebrating how awesome the ‘merch’ did. But let’s go and give the benefit of the doubt and say that a person with almost a couple weeks under their belt can at least distract themselves by pretending this is just another event and distancing their mind from the reality that it has to do with the spouse’s death. Except then due to some context I don’t know she seems to be concerned about infighting, and says he’s dead now and get over it as a reason to stop whatever infighting she was concerned about.
So she wasn’t acting like someone who found enough strength and comfort in her faith to carry on in a functional capacity in spite of the trauma. She wasn’t acting like someone who was distracting herself from the situation. She was a person at ease and excited about engagement and merchandising, with perhaps a bit of impatience for people that need to be told to get over it, he’s dead.
If all we were talking about was her being happy again, you’d be 100% correct. But there is a difference between moving on versus giggling at her husband’s murder less than four months after his body is put in the ground. Public or private, that’s a level of moving on that simply insults her husband’s memory.
was she laughing at his death or whatever the fuck event of the century is?
She’s a Twatwaffle. No actual kind hearted people give a shit about her.
My husband’s dead. Like, I’m not trying to be morbid, but he’s dead.
She should put that on a t-shirt.
Woo, more merch sales!
