You can't threaten to do something that you're already doing.

He probably forgot thanks to his Alzheimer's.

He literally just declared war on Chicago a couple days ago ...

Stop fucking pretending that this will make them act worse, if anything it'll slow them down

I have exactly the same amount of evidence that in fact Kirk‘s killing was the result of a gay love triangle with Proud Boys members that went wrong when one found out that Kirk was also “dating“ an animal.

My running theory is that Vance walked in on Kirk with the couch.

That could make sense too. Jealousy can get really ugly.

Conspiracy hat time 🎩

Charlie Kirk is much more useful to Trump as a martyr than as a political pundit. Trump is desperately looking for a distraction for the Epstein files and his deteriorating health. We still don't have a suspect in custody.

Your conspiracy is probably more likely, but I like my conspiracy.

The shooter is a time traveller come to shoot Kirk before he can become president in the future.

Finally one of the these damn time travelers hit their mark

Have no doubt that the branching timeline will end up being worse. Good things can't happen.

I can't remember the last time a good thing happened

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago

I, too, am beginning to believe that Kirk was assassinated by his own handlers.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I've thought the same thing. all of it seems way too convenient.

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago

Even if they find the shooter it’s just some used pawn.

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 22 points 4 days ago

Cool. Where's the files, Don?

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

No change from the usual then

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Watch out, it’s cadet bonespurs.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 6 points 4 days ago

This wasn’t even a Presidential Address broadcast live, right? That alone should tell you what this whole thing means to them.

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They killed Charlie for this exact reason.
