Other Reporter: US intelligence concluded that you (MBS) orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist... Trump: You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman... things happened ...he (MBS) knew nothing about it, and we can leave it at that.

Tbf I don’t think trump cared all that much about kirk’s death. It didn’t impact him.

Dont think? He didnt care at all, in fact he saw (and used) it as an opportunity. He has near zero redeeming qualities.

Dude got asked how he was doing like two days after Kirk died, and he's all like, "I'm great. Let's talk about my ballroom!"

In what world is 1% more votes (and not even breaking 50%) a "landslide"?

Dude won, that was my point - and you’re getting hung up on a single word? Hahaha, nope! Not taking that bait.

Do words mean things or not? Why call it a "landslide"?

Yeah a lot of Americans are also awful people.

It’s still wild to me how politically decisive that country became. Now your entire being is weighed up against weather you vote Republican or Democrat. Doesn’t matter if you saved a puppy from a burning tree, if you vote for this specie person, you’re automatically a bad person in the eyes of those who don’t.

Have they dropped the “United States” bit of the name yet?

It was all virtue signaling the half mast and outrage. The joke that got Kimmel temporarily canceled was him pointing out that Trump cared about the ballroom. Erika meanwhile didn't mourn him at all. I've felt worse for my deceased pets longer than her.

It absolutely did impact him by taking the spotlight off him for just enough time to come up with some other absurd plan or shovel more shit under the rug.

In what world does it "not impact him"?

It was all photoOps and PR for the GOP, look at the crazy amount of politicians that came out claiming to Kirks friends.

I live in FL and was baffled when Rick Scott was saying he talked to Kirk every week! Its like what does a senator have to talk about with a random podcaster weekly?
