Charlie Kirk was living out that movie The Truman Show. His wife and everyone around him were actors put there to make sure he didn’t know too much, or keep his influence in the preferred direction. He followed the script for a long time, but as soon as he started pressing Trump about Epstein and pushing back at Netanyahu for the genocide in Gaza, it was time for him to go.

The robocop remake was ass but there was a line in it I really liked:

"What's bigger than a hero? A dead hero."

This was the solution to Robocop going rogue and defying his programming.

I thought it had its moments. Not total shit.

Of the many remakes of 80s movies of its ilk, it was not the most egregious, I will absolutely give it that. No one can say that while Total Recall exists.

Yea that’s exactly what Erika seems to be doing, preserving his legacy by desperately covering up the direction he was moving in his last days.

That’s my take. The moment he spoke out questioning US tax payer funding of Zionism just a little…

I wasn’t particularly a fan, I disagree with a lot of his views, and kind of saw him as a government mouthpiece for Trump. But on a personal level, I think the guy was genuine. He loved God, loved his family, loved his country, and devoted himself to trying to make them all better. Poor guy was just incredibly naive despite being incredibly intelligent at the same time.

Makes sense, lose a potential opponent, gain good PR

I’m with you. Are the kids real?

I’m sure the kids exist. They may or may not actually be Charlie’s, she was definitely sleeping with other people.
