4/4/25: China Calls Trump's Bluff, Stocks Plummet, Lawyer Responds To JD Vance
September 17, 2025

Ryan and Emily in the Ezra Klein segment were bothering me in a way that Krystal and Saagar haven’t bothered me post-assassination. Our country’s flag was lowered for a public figure. I’m going to bring up that he said gay people “want to corrupt your children” and “Black America needs to stop sleeping around” and Islam is “slitting the throat of America.” Those are all in context, Emily. Charlie Kirk was not doing politics the “right way” and saying that is different than celebrating or even wishing for violence.

I agree with Krystal’s point from a year ago that we can be honest about public figures when they die.

Re: Kimmel

The left wing spent decades vesting power into the government and now the Trump administration is using the power YALL GAVE HIM against you.

It’s almost as if… the small government conservatives were right all along.

Too bad you freaks wouldn’t listen to us huh?

Enjoy the ride :)
