Huckleberry Finn proud
Still holding onto that podium like it's a life raft.
OMG. Took a shower, messed around with dinner stuff in the kitchen, came back and Trump is still bloviating.
send a cookie
i guarantee the cost for staff, travel, and security borne by taxpayers dwarfed the price of the venue
ok i can't take any more bye
"we'll have charlie in mind when we go into chicago"
"that gun was pointed at him but the bullet was pointed at all of us"
"The fake news media tried to silence Charlie" "After a few years [colleges] turned into bastions of conservatism" Now Trump soliciting applause from the crowd for his election. talking tariffs now...totally appropriate
Trump holding onto the podium like he'd fall on his face without it. I saw Lucinda Williams at The Wilma last year. She was tecovering from a stroke. She held onto the mic stand and a chair the roadies put out for her the entire time. Unlike Trump, Lucinda was still awesome.
Pure political exploitation. So f'ing obvious.
gawd this is hard don't know why i'm doing it...seems like a cultural moment i guess
I don't think the Trump team coordinated with the other speakers. Can you believe it?
"One of the last things he said to me was 'please sir, save chicago'"
Not a lot but some people are leaving as Trump begins speaking. Unexpected but I'm seeing it on the livestream.
Trump is up. After the interminable Lee Greenwood of course. Trump the only speaker who is obviously reading off and completely relied on the teleprompter.
The gender role enforcement is equally offensive. It's clear to me now how Charlie Kirk appealed to the much discussed disenfranchised young male. I've got bad news and good news for you guys: BN- The idea that you have to be the leader is false. GN- You can choose your own adventure.
OMG. I don't want to accuse this woman to be acting but...I'm sure it's a combo of real grief and duty to act for the "cause", but unimaginable to see myself in her place on a stage less than 2 weeks after the death od my wife. And so much of this is clearly acting.
Erika Kirk up now... I feel really bad for her. 'God killed Charlie'...sorry, that's essentially what she said
i've broken this thread many times but picking up here
Theme of this shitty memorial: 🎵onward christian soldiers marching as to war🎵 As a Christian, I will be on the secular side of this war.
"he was taken from us by those who despise what made our country great"...it was one dude, dude
"I have talked more about Jesus in the past 2 weeks than I have my entire public life".
Narrator: Vance has no chance at being president. But I also said that about Trump...
Narrator: This mixing of christianity and politics is offensive.
JD Couch up now. Old smokey eyes. "THEY tried to silence my friend..." Rehashes the 'funeral' v 'revival' line from previous speaker...guess they had a hatful of lines for everyone to choose from
narrator: i thought this thing was going to be 2 hrs...can't take much more
"We are all Charlie!" "Will you surrender?!?" "Good" [yawn]
Why didn't God stop the assassin slithering on his stomach to take Kirk's life, you congenital syphilis sufferer?
Cocaine Brain Don Jr up. Starts off by talking about what an asshole he is...first 100% honest thing I've heard.
RFK Jr up now. I can't hear a word he says bc I'm meamerized by his painful facial expressions and jiggling as he tries to force the lies out of his mouth.
Hegseth up. Has all his KKK tattoos covered up by a suit. Just noticed Hegseth has no laugh lines (the wrinkle kind). "Charlie had big plans but God had even bigger plans" "Devil overplayed his hand"...wut? God or devil make up your mind. "Went to college campuses where THEY said WE couldn't go"
Saint Stephen, Moses, now Rubio conflating Charlie Kirk with Jesus. I guess that's where we were headed all along.
OMG!!! I saw a older Black man in the audience. Somebody come get your dad he wandered off again.
Rubio up. Here comes some scripture! Will his head burst into flames this time?!?
Tulsi was actually pretty boring. Worst speaker so far IMO.
Tulsi's up. Lot's of military/religious metaphoring. Uh oh she just said Charlie "woke people's minds"...Tulsi going rogue again! Now attributing MLK quotes to Kirk. "Forces of darkness were threatened by and tried to silence him"...i dunno thought it was 1 dude who didn't like him 🤷
BTW, watching this on Fox's livestream channel so observations aren't polluted by Fox News dorks commentary. Main takeaway: these people are nuts and there's a lot of them.
Tucker Carlson now speaking. Telling a tale about imaginary group of people eating hummus (!) in a lamplit room, plotting Kirk's murder bc they can't shut him up any other way. Then tittering like a crazy man. Totally nuts.
As Miller thanked "our incredibly brave Pres Trump" the camera cut to Trump seated behind a solid wall of bulletproof glass. He looked like he was in a terrarium.
Stephen Miller up now, dripping with charisma and railing against the liberal straw man. "TO OUR ENEMIES BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!". Never seen anything like this at a memorial service...
Charlie Kirk origin story from [checks notes] the Baptists. (written before the horrific shooting and before the whitewashing began) baptistnews.com/article/how-...
What a beautiful tribute. Everybody with their bleery faraway eyes closed and hands raised. Just beautiful.
I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield listening to gospel music on the colored radio station & the preacher said, you know you always have the Lord by your side. And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran 20 red lights in his honor. Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord.
OMG, now Mick Jagger is speaking!!! I'll try to transcribe...
Mood is getting darker with B Johnson and now Posobiec. Nostalgic for the time 2 short weeks ago when I didn't know any of these loudmouth dorks, including Kirk.
Kirk previously compared to Saint Stephen. Now being compared by that Posobiec fella to Moses. Still haven't spotted a Black person in the crowd.
wait, why do we need bibles after the rapture
The young men and women from Turning Pt taking turns at the mic is a parade of people who seemingly have no experience doing much of anything except telling other people how to live.
I turned on this Kirk memorial just to take a peek, now I'm obsessed with finding one Black person in the crowd. It's a real life Where's Waldo, lemme tell you.
gonna go out on a limb here and say "no they will not"
The only context in which these folks appreciate brown people...
Did a quick perusal of TV listings and it looks like live coverage of the Charlie Kirk's Death Exploitation Show is limited to Fox, Newsmax, Newsnation, and...ABC (ABC NewsLive, to be specific).
perfection
Our tax $$ at work
Ya, dude. Bend those fuckers to your will then set an exit date 1-20-2029 you one trick pony fucktard.
Weird, right? 😳👇
He fucked children. Stay focused. #Epstein #Pedoman
Tim Sheehy is so dumb he constantly posts pics of his children on the tweets. Like a guy who grew up in a privileged bubble where nothing bad ever happens (except occasionally shooting oneself in the forearm with one's revolver). #mtpol
Even if you take the most lenient possible interpretation -- that SCOTUS has made it increasingly hard to prosecute bribery and corruption -- you still have to ask what kind of crooked-ass administration hires a guy who just took $50k cash.
Ya know what would help? Data centers! #mtpol 800+ without power in Butte nbcmontana.com/news/local/8...
Got this in the mail but it's probably available online if anyone cares. I could not have been happier with Jim Ryan during young Stoogesdatter's time at UVA. Another good man who fell victim to Trump (and the pinstriped troglodites on the UVA Board of Visitors).
more of this please
The whole lot of them are brazenly corrupt. TLDR: Holman took a bag of cash from undercover FBI with the explicit understanding that he would help them obtain gov't contracts if Trump won and he joined the administration, which he had already made clear he would do.
Big drama in Butte tonight. Bear captured in Butte with a rotisserie chicken nbcmontana.com/news/local/b...
Daines is dressing himself again. Needs an intervention. #mtpol
This was on a USACE website. Accidentally edited that context out of my skeet.
Was searching for water data off USGS, etc. websites today and this popped up. Hegseth leaving no stone unturned, I guess.
correctio: zinke's twitter yesterday...don't want to spread disinfo
Hard to argue against the unlimited need for energy sucking data centers when AI dishes up answers like this. (photo from Zinke's twitter today) #mtpol
The takeaway for me is how much of the discourse is driven by people who don't really do anything. NYT today. No I'm not gonna share it.
we're all free or none of us are free simple as that
What?!? The land of the free?!? Whoever told you that is your enemy! Gen X tried to warn youse. #RATM
Dear college president, take a look outside your academic bubble. In the real world, your accomodating approach has failed, big time. The platform you offer gives legitimacy to the speaker and **ALL** their ideas. gift article www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/o...
Is your congressman implicated? Hey, I'm just asking questions; looking to engage in some Socratic debate. #mtpol
So sick of the judicial branch sidestepping issues based on shit that has nothing to do with the legal question being asked. It's pedantic and has nothing to do with upholding law.
yeah but that was bc of Patel's megabrain move of releasing photos...
executive decision to release photos...next level leadership
Your senator is all in. Whatever the party tells him to say, he'll say it. Whatever he's told to do, that's what he'll do. MT does not have representation in Congress. #mtpol
And that set off another round of media speculation about the President's fitness to execute the duties of his office. LOL no that did not happen because he is not Joe biden.
Atty: Have you read or heard anything about this case that would impact your ability to be impartial? Potential jurist: DNA evidence is an exact match to the defendant. Saw it on the news.
According to your senior senator, everything Charlie Kirk said was truth. Quite the statement. #mtpol
Congress passed it. Biden signed it. SCOTUS ruled on it. Who knew the Executive Branch could delay enforcing a law?
Elections. Consequences. The guy in charge of negotiations is Bessent, who is conflicted financially and has anger mgmt issues. Soybean farmer: "none of this was necessary" gift article www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/b...
i'm only reposting this bc it's so f'ing lame. c'mon dems [pokes w stick].
#mtpol what's our senator saying over on the tweets?
shameless
I want to be a conspiracy theorist but...why would a professional hitman carry his rifle off the roof after the shot? Where's the rifle in the video of him climbing down from the roof? Why would he carry it away only to then ditch it in the woods? I guess I'm not very good at conspiracy.
A wonderfully weird thing about the Charlie Kirk murder is how it's brought together philosophical opponents like Stephen Colbert and JD Vance in a demonstration of American unity.
Nobody asked but here's my thought on the C Kirk killing: Would be nice if the <1% seeking $$, power, and/or fame would find something useful to do and leave the >99% alone to live life however we want as long as we:
gift article - not sure why... He strings words together beautifully, but to me Kline is losing credibility as a serious analyst and commentator with pieces like this one. Totally out of context bothsides framing of today's political situation. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...
The Kirk shooting distance is now down to 143 yds.
dude looks like a 15-minute miler
#mtpol i'm not sayin' that somebody purposely tried to make it a little bit about himself but...
oh he's gonna use the hell out of this
