Why do they still want to hear from Kirk? I can understand the novelty and state mandated grieving or whatever yeonmi-park . But Charlie's been dead for a minute. If a Chapo died and it was free to go to an event the next week and I could take a <15 min train ride I'd show up.

In theory the median vice president is doing shit, might slip government secrets, and is at their station via charisma/corporate-safe equivalent to emulate.

Because she was a right-wing grifter before she got together with the perforee. She's not going to give up a perfectly good angle so easily.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I totally understand her angle. Attention = money after all. I just find it hard to believe she's pulling in a bunch of attention still.

You're right, they have to crop shots of most of the GOP events to avoid showing how poorly-attended they are, and she's no different. Part of me wonders whether people show up to see if the person on stage gets iced, but if they do have that level of self-awareness, I wonder if they're actually buying into the narrative that "the other side" is so violent that they'd take pot shots at media figures. Threat modeling between the ends of the political spectrum aside, the trend indicates that it's people who don't think the right wing goes far-enough who tend to take the shots.

Anyone who cares about grieving for charlie kirk just wants to be the next charlie kirk but not dead

Oblige them

Even more to the point: if even the first wave of watching was artificial, why bother still watching?

Isn't that guy supposedly negotiating a peace treaty?

doggirl-lol bringing in Vance so they can abuse his tax-funded Secret Service protection?

[–] Kefla@hexbear.net 2 points 3 weeks ago

Do you think the Secret Service is actually still good at their jobs, or have they been gutted too?

I can't imagine Vance gets the cream of the crop either way

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

The implication here is that Vance was the threat.
