I know I’m naive but it is pretty wild that the president of the United States just publicly declares he and the military killed some guys on a boat, multiple times, and the entirety of Congress doesn’t immediately hit a giant red IMPEACH button

Kroger will lay off ~1,000 employees. In December, it announced $7.5B in stock buybacks – which juice stock prices, enriching shareholders and boosting CEO pay. Just so happens that Kroger's last CEO was paid 457x its typical employee in 2024. Textbook corporate greed.

It could be that the Charlie Kirk crowd keeps insisting that the left killed him because they secretly fear the Nick Fuentes faction. To admit the truth would require a response.

If the right *truly* believed Charlie Kirk was a defender of free speech and someone who was fine with dissenting opinions, they wouldn't be engaged in a massive campaign to punish anyone who didn't "mourn him properly." They clearly know all of that is bullshit. Only the media was conned.

An interesting dynamic with Kilmeade non-apologizing for gleefully advocating the murder of homeless people, is that Charlie Kirk proved a groyper will want to murder him for even the *appearance* of walking back on virulent nazism.
