Did trump convince the NFL to postpone games today so the nation can weep collectively? Is tailgating a thing outside arenas for events longer than football games?
Is there betting somewhere for how long Krasnov
"eulogizes" C. Kirk? How about for how long he talks about himself? Will he pretend crying hoping for an Emmy nomination?
Four hours. Geez. I hope Fox has technical difficulties and all they can do is deliver this shitshow over and over for days. Aren't their short-attention-span viewers done already?

Ugh.

Somehow I got a Top Fans invite.
On their Facebook feed the last 12 stories and 18 of the latest 20 are about Kirk. Its constant and, I hate to say it, comical at this point. The website is mostly the same.

(4,836 posts)I randomly, maybe because I live in Florida, got a post about how the er doctor told someone with Kirk that Kirk's bone was "miraculously" strong and stopped a bullet that would have "killed two moose" and prevented bystanders from being killed. The post was more than one page, I scannned it instead of ignoring it just because it was so idiotic.
It was like they were trying to make that Kirk's first miracle on the way to sainthood. And I wouldn't be surprised to see cardinal Dolan support it.

(194,405 posts)Damn I cant find it now. I saw three THREE posts on that about how the round bounced off his bulletproof vest and thats why theres no exit wound or how it hit the neck or some other complete nonsense.
Many have pointed out that he clearly wasnt wearing a vest.
Some other crazy stuff.
I just saw this one. 🙄
Have any of yall seen the trap door they found under the stage; perfect explanation for the ripple to the t-shirt and the exit wound over his left shoulder;
There was no round recovered from his neck; but it was probably recovered at the scene, and no one will ever see it
Well the bullet came out of the camera behind him, passed through, and went into the ground. Why do you think they were so quick to hop up and pull that camera down

(2,665 posts)It's 4 hours that they will spend eating cheesy fries, cleaning guns, drinking beer, and smoking cigarettes. Expect a reduction in the crime rate during this time slot, but remember, immediately afterwards hyped-up troglodytes will be leaving their dens to avenge a perceived wrong. The lull will be short-lived.

(2,665 posts)I can't image how doing that could make me think of him as anything other than a horrible person. As horrible as can be. The only way I am able to stomach hearing anything about him and what he has said and done is in hope that eventually those who listen to his words will realize there is also something said about themselves in his words that others find offensive. Sooner or later his followers may learn that the hatred makes the world a smaller place, that his goals were not to unite, but to divide. But that's a false hope. Instead, in those eulogies and speeches they will find soft marching orders and an inspiration to spread a few more minutes of hate.
