    I’m sorry but I have no sympathy for that monster. His words and actions conveyed real harm upon real people. What happens to him shouldn’t happen to anyone but it did and he was a piece of shit. May he be dragged and humiliated forever. Especially since the right has had open season on anyone who doesn’t agree with them from civillans to sitting congresspeople. And no one jumps on conservative fucks who have decals of Hillary tied up in the back of their trunk and Stephen miller is chief of staff now. So fuck Charlie Kirk and may he burn in hell.

    couple of interesting points:

    1. no idea what this podcast is, so this “backlash” is actually promoting the podcast
    2. maybe confirmation bias on my part, but it seems like this sort of bullshit backlash is towards women for the most part
    3. they should definitely dig him up and do it again
    4. they didnt even write the joke, just laughed at it, definitely some manufactured outrage

      Podcast is I’ve Had It, run by Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan. Known for being left wing and supporting Hasan Piker and Kyle Kulinski.

      They’re reasonably large. Enough to cross over with other really big left leaning podcasts. Also I’m kind of surprised anyone who would fret about a conservative backlash would advertise on it. I feel like they’ve called conservatives just straight out evil before. They’re not like, leftist, but they’re not sanitized centrism. What did Chewy think they were getting themselves into?

        I wonder if they’ll just advertise with whoever until someone complains, so until you get big enough for hate listeners, you can say whatever you feel like?

    Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan read social media posts reacting to Tuesday’s midterm election — in which Democrats took control of the House and Senate and won key governors’ races — on Thursday’s episode of their I’ve Had It podcast.

    They both cracked up to a post that read, “We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.”

    The clip has since been cut from the episode, and the two apologized for laughing at the joke. But the damage has already been done.

    They didn’t even make a joke, they just laughed at one?

    Conservatives: The left hates comedy and are snowflakes, and also don’t you dare laugh at the mere implication of something that upsets us.

      I saw it. And I laughed at it. Because it was funny.

      Fuck Charlie Kirk, and these butthurt GOP hypocrites who regularly spew hate and bile and vitriol every time they open their mouths. They can dish it out, but they sure can’t take it.

      edit: here is their response:

      I didn’t watch this, but saw someone (one of the night show hosts) bring up how conservative podcasters kept bringing up that post made by an anonymous twitter account with an anime profile pic…

      People laughed at how ridiculous it was, and the only reason anyone saw it, was Republicans bitching about it.

      Actually it might have been that podcast that Cody Johnson from oldschool Cracked that I saw it.

      Either way, the original tweet was something rightwingers latched onto immediately, it’s just a dumb twitter joke, literally what the right said was totally cool and Elon explicitly said was why he bought twitter, “to make comedy legal”

    “Whatever our political differences, there is nothing funny about gun violence. We’ve long supported common-sense gun safety reform,” the hosts said. “To that end, we’ve made a donation to Everytown for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization in America. We’ll keep using our platforms to fight for the safety of all Americans.”

    I will say, this donation is a much funnier joke than the one that got their sponsers pissed. Kirk thought regular deaths were just the tragic consequence we face for our freedoms. He was specifically against gun restrictions.

    The team has also successfully defended and helped defend many state and local gun safety laws against Second Amendment and preemption challenges.

      It’s really insensitive of them to spit on Kirk’s grave by opposing his life’s work in support of gun violence. It’s the very last cause he supported and that deserves some respect.

      I generally don’t approve of necrophilia, but on the other hand, I am kind of curious what it would feel like to fuck a neck-hole…
