Did anyone else find it odd that at the Kirk memorial that there was hawking of merchandise? Last time I went to a memorial, it was not sponsored by Geico and the family of the deceased was trying to sell me anything.
Trump’s enemies are the evildoers, thus the strong feeling of hate (same people trying to start World War III in order to escape their crimes, but that will fail).
Trump knows how his opponents play dirty pool ( Russia hoax, judge shopping lawfare, assassination attempts, lies upon lies …) . He will never forgive, nor should he. Expect more to cross the aisle. Tulsi & RFK have led the way.
PScott: Blunt and in your face, you can take the man for his word, unvarnished or not - try that one on if you still cannot figure out why Democrats lost the hearts and mind of America.
The Old Testament if full of blood and thunder, take a spin through its pages and drop your cartoon versions about "religion". You need to get rid of your goodie-two shoes stereotyping about "Christian" and breathe a little.
OMG. Someone admits that the bible has violence in it? That it is not unicorns and fairies? That the book should be behind the counter, next to the porn.
Did you get poisoned with misinformation as a kid or as an adult, David? Ask yourself why are you letting this misinformation/malinformation still drive your life today.
I really do not care what she said. It is not relevant to the topic. The topic is this was not a memorial. It was a sales event. It was another method to extract money from the gullible.
You don't care what the widow said yet are still comfortable opining on her husband's memorial? Do you always build your worldview by wilfully shutting out relevant information?
You are saying what she said is relevant to the topic. I don't care what the emcee stated. I don't care what anyone said. That MAKES NO SENSE to care.
Again, the TOPIC is a memorial, being a sales event. Hawking goods is not the norm at a memorial.
When you die, do you want people setting up booths to hawk things at your memorial?
So if during her speech, she gave the cure to cancer, world peace, and the secret formula to Coca Cola, it is NOT relevant to the topic.
So again . . . I do not give a @#$ what she said, it is NOT relevant to this.
The fact, and yes, that is the correct word, that YOU can not see how out of the norm this is, how that event looked more like a rally, an event to extract money from the followers, then wow, you are in a cult.
I always believed a cult was characterized by, among other traits, an unquestioning devotion to an idea and a refusal to consider information that challenges it. Kinda like having a fixed opinion on a memorial without any curiosity as to what was actually said...
See above: Death notices often include where memorial donations can be made. Or relatives immediately set up a Go Fund Me account. What do you feel about those?
This was an event as much as it was a memorial service - with huge expense to put on, including super-security since there so many dangerously bratty persons out there, not unlike you, who may well find other ways to destroy this man, his family and his millions of supporters.
Thanks for keep telling us who you are. You do propose challenges. Not unlike what many do not even utter, but still believe. You do keep adding to the TDS lexicon and keep the engagement here two-sided. But we also breathe easy as one is known by the enemies one makes. Good to know our enemies are paper tigers.
Charlie may be dead (hard words still to say), but TPUSA lives on. Wear your TPUSA swag with pride, and go forth. Let the world know you want to also carry his same message. Prove me wrong.
BTW: Democrats are the ones who expect everything to be handed out for free. GOP demonstrates more fiscal prudence and thrift. That seems to be the wining ethos right now. Democrats do stand for red ink, while GOP dons their green eyeshades.
You are spraying a lot of stuff out here. Most of it is not related to the topic at hand. Very typical conservative modus operandi. Being incapable of staying on topic because they want to get to their opinion.
So let me try and play your little game for a bit.
1. How do I feel about memorial donations? Go to legacy.com and randomly choose a person who has passed. What do you see? Perhaps you see something that says, "In leiu of flowers, please donate to the ____." That blank could be some cancer research, hospice, als, etc.
2. GoFundMe accounts? Again, most people have to use that because there was no life insurance, no means to pay for the funeral. Do some make a profit? Sure.
3. You are correct. It was a FRIGGIN EVENT disguised as a memorial. That is what is so odd about it. It was NOT a memorial. Fire off some neurons and think about this . . . when was the last time you heard of someone who has died and they rented a football stadium (notice I said RENT) for the memorial. That money came from somewhere. Who stroked that check? I wonder if they hawked goods to get the money back. You know, the opposite of what happens at everyone else's memorial.
4. What the hell is a bratty person? In my time on this rock, that is a phrase I have not heard before. But, ask yourself, why did they feel compelled to have this EVENT in the first place? One that would require security? One that would require a football stadium? HINT: Follow the money.
5. Get over the insults. It is so sophomoric. TDS. How about this, you stop with that, and I will not, in every post, call you a stupid cultist. It adds no value to try and play that game. I dislike a LOT of things that Trump has done. That does not mean I like a LOT of things that Biden did. That is where the disconnect occurs. Conservatives, the biggest snowflakes there are, love to scream, "If you don't agree with ____, you are anti ____ and pro, the other side." Such an ignorant way of thinking.
6. If you think people are your enemies, other US citizens, then you have a serious problem. If I said everyone that I disagree with was my enemy, I would have no one in my life. I disagree on something with everyone. I do not agree 100% with anyone on everything. It would be very hard for me to say another US citizen is my enemy. I will at worst say, "We disagree on a lot of things, but we both want what we feel is best for the country." You know, a sentence that you can't envision someone, today, who is MAGA, ever saying.
7. Pfft. I disagree with a lot of Kirk's message. I have too much respect for women to agree with that drivel that he spewed. I also do not believe in a white male only world.
8. Your BTW section is comical. The reality is, and yes, the reality, is that the GOP is the party of spending without revenue. The numbers do not lie. You can believe the politicians as much as you want, but the numbers . . . they do not lie.
what a strange comment…it was a memorial to those that attended & the 100,000,000+++ that watch from around the world…
really weird that you attended a memorial and the family of the deceased was trying to sell you everything…doesn’t sound right…you sound like a salesman, seeing events as sales opportunities…
Oh, I am aware it is capitalism. That is the point.
When I die, should I have someone in my family contact SB Current and see if they want to sponsor the memorial, you know, get some PR going. Then while there, have a VIP section that charges people $1k to attend, get in the roped off section, their own private viewing, then sell GA tickets. While there, of course, they should sell, bottles of MAGA tears for $17.76 and Anti-tyranny shirts as well.
Sounds like the correct way to do a memorial . . . doesn't it? /end sarcasm
I tend not to analyze too much about the reasoning behind things, such as the sale of stuff during Kirk's memorial. We do realize the TP organization is considered a non-profit organization. And Turning Point paid for the Kirk Memorial event. I'm sure you did your research as I have in knew all about this important fact. It's interesting you highlight the item sales and not the content of the event which was invaluable.
That is fine. You do not seem to find it odd that products were sold at a memorial for a person. That is so out of the norm that it raises a flag in my eyes.
And again, the topic is not the words spoken by the speakers. Therefore, it is not relevant if you think it was the best or worst and I think it was the best or worst.
DB: A signature of his rallies was tossing out caps, so many probably would like to have a little piece of this memory to take home with them. No problem.
And the goal is to spread his message far and wide as well as support the mission of TPUSA. So no, this was not any more unbecoming than requesting donations for a favored organization included in death notices
Or the far more unseemly death grift - relatives instantly setting up a Go Fund Me appeal before the body is even cold. I am reminded of the BLM grift off drug addict George Floyd's "suicide by cop".
Agree with Polly, you do have a leaky venom valve. We look forward to finally seeing it drained dry. So keep spewing, and we will keep mopping up after you.
“and the family of the deceased was trying to sell me anything.” So they were trying to sell you anything at all? Were they offering good prices? What did you buy?
I can't help if you can't comprehend the written word.
Take your anger and use it somewhere else. Your comments make no sense. They come across as either an uneducated person, a person with mental issues, a person who is under the influence.
Just poor writing. Last time I went to a memorial, it was not sponsored by Geico and the family of the deceased was not trying to sell me anything. Even better Last time I went to a memorial, it was not sponsored by Geico nor was the family of the deceased trying to sell me anything.
Once again Eringer is off to the races, through the high weeds, on Putin and Ukraine. I'm certain there's been no war or threat of war which didn't meet with Eringer's liking. His unchallenged, unquestioned sources, plus $5.00, will get you a Mint Majesty Tea at Starbucks. Between Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan, the Eringers in our movement, one way or another, will drag an unwilling U.S. populace into war. What can I say? It's in their DNA. It's what brings them joy. Remember Al Capone in "The Untouchables" during the iconic murderous banquet scene: "A man when he reaches preeminence is expected to have 'enthusiasms'. What are mine? What brings me happiness? BASEBALL...", as Capone is handed a baseball bat and he proceeds to batter one of his disloyal henchmen to death in front of God and the caterers. The Neocons still hanging on to our movement are addicted to war. They never reach for realpolitik diplomatic solutions. War is their drug of habit. Their "enthusiasms" propel them to reach for the baseball bat - the battering ram - and they are as likely to use that battering ram against peacemakers in the movement as a step along the way in their march toward forever wars.
I think I'll go back to Raytheon and do some system design work on a Facial Recognition Missile System, or FRMS. The concept is to be able to shoot a missile at any time at a human enemy. The enemy's location using GPS coordinates will always be known. It is imperative the enemy location is always maintained to take advantage of the outdoors environment to fulfill a mission. Take an enemy subject, such as Kamala Harris. Because Harris has many facial expressions ranging from a clown to a frog, the many potential facial images are loaded into the "Harris Missile" fire control computer. When the Harris Missile is launched in the direction of the known GPS coordinates, the missile's AI Facial Recognition System is activated along with the high-powered optics seeking the target. As the missile approaches the enemy upon a confirmed Harris confirmed image, perhaps her as a squealing chipmunk, the missile does a flyby dispersing one hundred pounds of Campbell's Alphabet Soup in her face. When it's determined the FRMS is highly reliable at finding its target, then we go after Putin.
Did you miss the part, "dispersing one hundred pounds of Campbell's Alphabet Soup in her face." I don't believe there is any record of Campbell Alphabet Soup killing anyone." Dispersing is a word meaning spreading something over time, not one hundred pounds of solid soup in her face.
Did you not read the words where I stated, "ATTACK?"
Kirk's murderer ATTACKED Kirk. The result of the attack was death.
So again, you are no different than Kirk's murderer. You want to attack someone for the words that they say. Sounds like a chickenshit way of admitting that you can't DISCUSS your way out of it, or even be mature enough to walk away and ignore it.
Hey, we made name badges at Girl Scout Camp out of alphabet soup noodles.
Glue them to a stick of wood. They were so cool. Kept us busy poking through the pile of alphabet noodles to find our own special combination - that was our version of a participation trophy back in those days .
Maybe the random selection of words made from letters is how Harris creates a speech. I've purchased ten 1950 vintage Westinghouse "refrigerator-shaped" radios to restore working and to turn them into art projects. You're giving me an idea for a "Harris" radio of stenciling random words<g>. I still have one Boy Scout project which is a flat-bottomed flask with green-colored gimp wound around the upper neck area. The gimp was used as an insulator so hot stuff could be carried in the flask. At camps, I loved working with gimp ... you can do so many things with gimp.
The USSR didn't make it 70 years. We all know it was a failed path. What's the point of rehashing this after 35 more years? I guess it's just to spite any social programs? By the way, visiting national parks was free today. I'm out in CO and UT. Awesome work by both sides.
The only thing I have to say is God bless Erika Kirk.
Did anyone else find it odd that at the Kirk memorial that there was hawking of merchandise? Last time I went to a memorial, it was not sponsored by Geico and the family of the deceased was trying to sell me anything.
David, please listen to Erika Kirk's speech before you spew your venom here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OUj_Hzgnjs
Then, after listening to Ms.Kirk, consider the response President Trump followed her thoughts with;
— "I hate my opponent and I don't want the best for them." President Trump.
Peter, you live in a prison of your own making. I feel very, very sorry for you. But it's your choice.
Trump’s enemies are the evildoers, thus the strong feeling of hate (same people trying to start World War III in order to escape their crimes, but that will fail).
I’m with Trump, eye for an eye… https://x.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1337373146652020736?s=61
Trump knows how his opponents play dirty pool ( Russia hoax, judge shopping lawfare, assassination attempts, lies upon lies …) . He will never forgive, nor should he. Expect more to cross the aisle. Tulsi & RFK have led the way.
And that is the response from someone who is in a cult.
Wrong again Mr. Atrocious…All that you know to be right is wrong. The ‘cult’ runs the world. The world is fighting back (& destroying the CULT).
20% public/ 80% private. The world would otherwise collapse…
You are correct, the cults run the world.
5.4 billion people in the world, out of 8 billion, follow one of these three religions: Christianity, Muslim, and Hinduism.
So yes, you are correct, the damn cults run the world.
I agree, we should destroy those cults.
PScott: Blunt and in your face, you can take the man for his word, unvarnished or not - try that one on if you still cannot figure out why Democrats lost the hearts and mind of America.

Wait, are you now saying that the bible is not a book of violence? A book filled with porn?
I really do not care what she said. It is not relevant to the topic. The topic is this was not a memorial. It was a sales event. It was another method to extract money from the gullible.
You don't care what the widow said yet are still comfortable opining on her husband's memorial? Do you always build your worldview by wilfully shutting out relevant information?
I would have like to have heard from his parents, siblings, childhood friends. It seemed more like a political rally than a memorial.
You are saying what she said is relevant to the topic. I don't care what the emcee stated. I don't care what anyone said. That MAKES NO SENSE to care.
Again, the TOPIC is a memorial, being a sales event. Hawking goods is not the norm at a memorial.

I understand that the myasthenia gravis foundation is looking for a new “face of MG” poster model.
And what does that mean? Are you implying something?
Teachers unions could use a new face too.
It's called capitalism, David.

Then why was there vendors hawking merch? That is much different than tossing hats out.
Polly is foolish.
Here, want a similar response like Polly's?
It's amazing how you guys keep your nose from being brown from burying up the butt of these people you put on pedestals.
“and the family of the deceased was trying to sell me anything.” So they were trying to sell you anything at all? Were they offering good prices? What did you buy?
I can't help if you can't comprehend the written word.

And you are the problem.
You are no different than the person who killed Kirk.
You want to attack someone for words?
What a @!#$ up way of living.
I guess that is all you have when you can't win an argument with words.
Did you miss the part, "dispersing one hundred pounds of Campbell's Alphabet Soup in her face." I don't believe there is any record of Campbell Alphabet Soup killing anyone." Dispersing is a word meaning spreading something over time, not one hundred pounds of solid soup in her face.
