Before the current fcc. Today’s fcc would investigate and threaten to yank licenses for “suppressing conservative views” if there were any consequences for someone who made such a horrific statement on air.
The FCC doesn’t regulate cable like that because cable channels don’t have broadcast licenses.

I've seen clips of her podcast (not entire episodes) and I just didn't find her promoting crap. She's outspoken, yes. But toxic? Didn't get that feeling.
Read her political views that I linked to in the wiki article, it's yet another case of how many trash views can fit in one human being. Not the worst example I'm sure, but who wants to be in the running for that competition.

She’s Black…and for whatever reason, she’s trying to fit in and be accepted by MAGAWORLD.

Conservatives love their uncle tom figures, and she saw her opportunity. Also, to be a right winger in the first place you've got to think like:

One interesting thing I’m observing is that right wing figures are souring on Kash. This seems to be for a couple of reasons 1) one of their own got killed and the killer’s dad had to turn him in 2) his interest and capability to help institute the kind of repression they crave is decidedly limited.
Sometimes people are so self consumed and idiotic in plain sight you just can't help yourself. A loser creature of social media running the organization that's supposed to keep us secure. Wondering about the information delays? Well, when your mindset is always focused on what to put out on social media to craft an agenda, it takes time.

But it doesnt matter what the man thinks, he did nothing but debate liberals in a civil manner and try to show them errors in their line of thinking. Trying to justify his murder for any reason is absolute chicken shit. I didnt even know what this guy looked like until the murder, he meant nothing to me. But watching blue haired, dead fish eyed demons on Twitter laugh, dance, and smile at his public murder makes me want to vomit. Then I go and check out some of his videos, and he's perfectly cordial and respectful trying to debate with people that are just raging at him while getting picked apart on their stances. Its gross.

Nope. not one single time did he do any of those things. You guys don't get to reinvent what a debate is simply because you need to declare some cheap "wins" for your team.

civil? where the fuck did you ever imagine civil and Carlie Kirk should exist together?

Once again your "fiercely independent" "both sides have the same problems" mask is slipping.

Like I've said in this forum before, non fascists should protect themselves. If you are a rational American living in a conservative area of a red state, you might want to keep your eyes out. Even some blue states might have problems.

People who think like that guy would definitely prefer it if you were unarmed.

Hoping the groyper thing makes them calm down. Knock on some doors and it's Tulta munille time bitch. Be a real shame if we have to turn a few UHaul trucks into funeral pyres.

Jfc, I am pondering on the prospects of this place 10-20 years out and thinking maybe Iceland would be the place for the lineage to ride the next one out... If you are in a red state in the USA and not fucked in the head? Get the fuck out.

He's a Peaceful man. Come on. He just wants to go door-to-door and murder people. What's wrong with that?

What sourcing I’ve seen on this story is really sketchy.
Yeah, I don't know. It is, after all, Fox. They said "senior-level FBI officials told Fox News Digital" and "Bureau officials confirmed" so I'll see if those talky FBI guys spoke to others.

According to the Utah governor, killer of Charlie Kirk was indoctrinated in "left wing ideology"


In Utah, doesn't "far left" mean not getting married in high school?. Or not marrying your sister? “Deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology” What the fuck is that? MAGA speak? What you say when you want to lie but you don't want to be specific? Or something you say when Federal funds are being threatened? I'm going with something he learned on 4 chan.

Of course, he offers NO evidence to support his claims. He's a Republican, no evidence required. Without providing specifics...way to amp up and incite violence. :rolleyes: "Leftist" or "lib" are just empty tags at this point to label anyone who isn't a Trump supporter. This is the fucking guy the media rushed to hold up as a model politician in the aftermath of the tragedy. The US media is no one's friend but Big Money. And they'll glaze and sanewash every lying crooked politico that greases the oligarchs' wheels.

A "leftist" who was a huge fan of Laura Loomer and Nick Fuentes. Weird!

MAGA keeps lying because they want a culture war. They want to believe "the left" (whoever that is) caused this in order to justify going after the people who disagree with them.

Oh look the most vocal murder is uncivil crowd has some thoughts about exterminating the poor.


I am waiting for someone, anyone to demand that Fox Brian Kilmeade be fired for calling for the execution of the homeless for any reason, I'll wait?

America’s homeless population includes children and tens of thousands of veterans, many of whom served in Iraq or Afghanistan.

“Involuntary lethal injection" That's law & order Nazi-speak for "murder".

At least conservatives aren't pretending to be Christians anymore...

oh wait ...

The Feds thought there were “trans symbols” on the bullets originally so yeah maybe they should dig up some people who are not feds to verify this.

Yup. But the other side goes ape shit crazy when we use the Nazi word. Like really, don’t want to be called one, stop supporting stuff this administration is doing nearly identical to 1940’s Germany.

Charlie Kirk was a rage salesman. A customer returned one of his products.

As much as I mock moonie he is basically right. The difference is that you cant just tell people to their face their damage... you will get a reaction.

Anyway, the right has been gearing up for civil war on a number of occasions now.

So my question to you is do you feel prepared for that?

So now they’re saying that the shooter lives with his trans boyfriend…trying to deflect any ties to him being conservative.
