    Erika isn't there to lead them. As a conservative woman, she is simply there to birth the next warrior. The prophesied son of Charlie who will lead the inbreds and temu nazis to become the saviour of America.

    Unfortunately Charlie looked like this so she didn't fuck him very much.

    Unsuspiciously, she's now hanging out with some of her ex's (who suddenly work directly with her on her tour) and she's also hanging out with Vance a lot.

    So a miraculous birth is afoot.

    Can't stand the people that defend that by saying "You assume he meant blacks by saying gang violence. Who's the real racists now?"

    Like literally this is a common thing for Kirk and his ilk to do. They've been using "Gang Violence" as a euphemism since the 1960s with his predecessors. Also communication is more than just words. Tone, inflection and facial expressions also convey meaning and from how he says it, it's obvious as fuck he doesn't mean "Gangs" as Gangs. He also ignores the plethora of School Shootings the USA has that no other country has.

    Because whether or not you count gang violence as a "mass shooting" makes a massive difference in the numbers. (If you don't believe me, look at the FBI's numbers vs the gun violence archives numbers)

    Ex-Shell corporate guy here. Not to diminish this research or it’s message but to share some context from the company:

    Shell has an internal charitable donation program where if employees donate to an eligible group (thousands of charities, non-profits, and foundations are eligible) then the company will match your donations through their giving portal thing, and then both yours and the company contribution show up as being from Shell. And for a company with 10k+ employees in the US there tend to be contributions to every variety of charity from left to right and all in between.

    That’s not to conclusively say that the company doesn’t make donations to these orgs on their own, but I’ve seen multiple articles in the last decade claiming that “Shell supports x” and then I went and pulled the internal giving fund summary and found those donations there originating with employees.

If I claimed to have donated $100, but actually half of actual came from my friend, doesn't that make me a bit of a liar?

    It seems like a false dichotomy to me to say that we can't all donate to charity and all get appropriate credit for the amounts we've donated. Why can't companies both credit their employees and make in kind donations? Why should they be able to claim my donation as their own?

    The shouting matches between the democratic socialists and TPUSA probably caused more hearing damage than the concerts I went to in college lmao, they were hilarious, but damned loud.

    I’m not a believer in God. But if this doesn’t have God’s fingerprints all over it like “oh no the fuck you don’t.”

    This might be the sign I’ve been waiting for all my life.

    As always when this is posted, TPUSA was started to make college kids into Republicans and then get them into office. It had nothing to do with guns or anti-vaxx. It was also founded in 2012, so no possible way it had anything to do with COVID.

    This poster lied, and then people are liking it instead of really basic fact checking.

    "Two conservatives start an organization to push COVID Conspiracies..."

    It's pedantic but it wasn't started to push COVID Conspiracies because it was started before COVID. It just seemed a bit misleading and I wanted to clarify.

    Laughing at the death of others, especially by murder, is ghoulish. It's nasty and off-putting.

    And it's frustrating, because if you want people on your side, this shit does the opposite

    Unfortunately, Kirk did not really warrant much for people to symphatize with. Like sucks he died, but I straight up forgot about him week after it happened. If all you present about yourself is hate, you will have nothing to be remembered for when you pass. I literally forgot about him a week after the news.

    I mean, I really don't understand this mindset. I find in horrific to see a man get publicly executed. And I'm not sure how people have the cognitive dissonce to say an average Christian bro talking about average Christian bro stuff is somehow worse than murdering someone.

    Like, there are lots of people I disagree with, and they say stuff that makes me angry. But...murder is always like a million times worse than words.
