I must admit, his over the top and constant douchebaggery aside, he's got a really good story being a walkon and persevering in the NFL and blowing up. And his Dad screwing him makes me feel bad for the guy. My son pulled a McConaughey from 'Time to Kill' on me. "Dad, what if he was a Longhorn? You'd like his swagger and toughness then wouldn't you?" Damnit. I also tried really hard to dislike him. Then I read about him helping the food insecure in Ohio and making sure kids had enough to eat.

I’ve found this latest speech suppression taking advantage of Kirk’s death to be particularly chilling. I know it’s a continuation of what they had already been doing but their renewed fervor makes it more sinister. They’re attacking all the foundations of our democracy. I’ve had trouble containing my anger the last few days and am worried I’m going to go off on my gop Senate staffer neighbor. That wouldn’t be the worst thing cause fuck him and the work he’s a part of.

In fairness, this thread has been home to quite a bit of rampant speculation and conspiracy. It's just that it's coming from the FBI and journalistic entities that are really shitting the bed. This story has been a complete boondoggle from the jump, and I'm not holding my breath for the facts to get any more clear after today's presser

Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)

Selected this post, but there are so many others....I'm actually glad Enchubben is sharing his unvarnished thoughts, because it's a good glimpse into the mind of someone who is simultaneously clueless, and thinks they're a good person....who is also a vile racist. He described a made-up "DEI" boogeyman that doesn't exist. It's a straw man for the right to construct and then demonize, which gives them justification for their continued suspicion and resentment of all people who aren't white males (note that white males are literally the ONLY class that doesn't get the "I just can't trust that they weren't a 'DEI hire'" treatment). This is how deeply permeated the racism is. And how he just blows by straight-forward, unambiguous statements like him saying that black women just don't have the brain power. Or, in choosing to criticize the Cowboys, going to the race of their fanbase. What possible relevance could that have to anything or anyone? There are 100,000 reasons to hate the Cowboys and their fans (I can list them, as I share in most of them). But mentioning the race/ethnicity of their fans WOULDN'T EVEN FUCKING OCCUR TO ME, BECAUSE I'M NOT A FUCKING WHITE SUPREMACIST. It's the casualness, and ubiquity, of white supremacist ideology that's being revealed in this discussion. They don't argue that Charlie Kirk didn't say or think those things. They just move the goalposts, and say "racist things really aren't racist." It's not "racist" to think that black women are inferior...it's just true. It's not racist to say that foreigners should be whipped -- that's just a good idea. It's not racist to say that the phrenology of the skulls of negroes correlates to lower IQs, that's just science (see the road we're on? Everything old will become new again). Enchubben doesn't wear a robe and white hood. Enchubben surely thinks of himself as a good person, who doesn't mean any harm to anyone. Enchubben also holds deep-seated beliefs and opinions about how minorities are actually inferior, and likely get any role or achievement through "cheating" (that's what they think "DEI" is), and how minorities are just generally lower class (I mean, look at those little mexican Cowboys fans), etc. etc. etc. That doesn't make him racist, he's just calling it like it is. Guys in klan robes aren't the danger to America and humanity. Guys like Enchubben are. Because the guys in the klan robes are few, and so over-the-top that they are easy to combat. Guys like Enchubben are your neighbor. Your neighbor who, when seeing my last name on the pleadings of a court case, thinks "DEI hire," and that I am probably an inferior intellect. Maybe he's the judge in my case, and he automatically knocks my credibility down a peg because surely, I got where I got by taking a more qualified white man's position. If Enchubben is a banker, he thinks I am something more of a lending risk because again, while my job title LOOKS nice, I probably really don't deserve it, and I won't last long out there in the real world, where skill and talent make a difference. I'm glad that the Enchubbens of the world are so clueless about their racism and contempt for everyone who is not a white male that they state it openly and plainly. Being able to see the force bent on destroying our society right out there in the open is a helpful advantage for the rest of us. Now . . . to figure out what to do with it. Because the Enchubbens have ALSO made it plain that putting objective truth that runs contrary to their worldview right in front of them . . . does nothing. I keep coming back to "they're going to have to see what a shitshow their 'dream society' turns into when they have their way, and all non-white males are put back under the boot where they belong." -
My wife mentioned this morning that she is seeing smaller amounts of beef being packaged for sale by our grocery store (not HEB). As we are empty nesters this suits us just fine but a family of four would probably require two packages for a meal.

I’ll tell you when you spill the beans about how much you contributed to the Tyler Robinson legal defense fund. -
That would be cool. People won’t use it properly bc surly is surly. But at least having a thread like that you go into it knowing what to expect. Rampant speculation and conspiracy theories. Just call it “follow the white rabbit.”

@Enchubben what was your ultimate goal in coming into this thread? To prove that he was a good guy? Because it's quite plain: he was not a good guy. -

You’re assuming it has something to do with the United States Constitution. I wouldn’t be so sure. -
Damn. Butch and Sundance is in my top 5 all time favorite movies. His support of independent film and art made a profound impact on so many young artists and helped launch innumerable careers. A huge loss, but an even larger enduring impact.

Performance art, I guess. I can’t watch more than a few seconds of CK clips without feeling like I’m being poisoned. The fact that he had a large following is seriously depressing to me. -
Really interesting video came across my feed wrt/ farmers voting for trump and now enjoying the economic consequences TLDW: farmers knew trump was going to do all of this, they voted for him anyways because they were CERTAIN there would be some unquantified benefit to having him in office. This famer's opinion was that the farmers were mainly tunnel-visioned on tax breaks because of their large estates, and completely ignored the downsides that were on-the-tin. "We were lied to" is a lie.
