The more I read about this Kirk bloke the less I like him. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-12/assassinated-right-wing-influencer-charlie-kirk-views/105766340 This is the quote I'd heard about. "I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

Not checking rooftops seems to be a theme. While no one deserves to be shot (although I wouldn't shed any tears if Trump copped one), there is some irony that he was apparently pushing a very pro-gun line and one of his views was that yes, there will be extra deaths from gun violence, but it's worth it. What really gave me cold shivers was Trump's response. Can't remember it word for word but it was along the lines of "There are a lot of left-wing lunatics. They're terrible. And we're going to do something about that." So without knowing who fired the shot or what his motivation was (remember he's not necessarily a pissed-off Democrat - apparently the guy that tried to shoot Trump was just doing it for the notoriety, didn't give a shit about the politics) - Trump has already decided it must be ideological, and he's going to clamp down on the "left wing lunatics". I see more stupid, democracy-wrecking actions by Trump in the future. He's already looking like a tin-pot dictator, now he will really try to make the USA an authoritarian christian state with him as supreme leader. Don't forget he fully supported Bolsonaro in Brazil, who has just been found guilty of plotting a coup and planning to kill the actual elected president. He loves (other) right-wing, authoritarian nut job dictators.

All religions are fake.

Hmm. Toilet bowls are white, oval, and sometimes have massive shits in them too.

Who's going to return the favour?

I laughed when he drew a correlation between the name and their success in war - apparently the US won every war up to and including WWII because it was named the "Department of War", and lost every war since because they changed it. Kind of like comparing the release dates of Nicholas Cage movies with spikes in swimming pool death rates. There are clear similarities, but Nick is not to blame.

With a few exceptions like Saint Bob Brown, it generally does

That's going to be difficult. They would have told the buyer that beam was about 161ft long, whereas it was really only 100ft...

As soon as I saw the news I thought "Peter is going to love this!"

Well funny you should say that OME, apparently there was a rumour of the orange clown's demise that got so much traction the white house had to address it. For the first time ever, Trump was right when he called it "fake news".

C. The others have an animal in them

It's when you start humping stranger's legs that you really get into trouble.

Arsenal are shit?

Get your battery tested Space. Probably stuffed.

They're a bit big Nev. I've had one up my arse when driving in Bendigo, all you can see is grille in the rear vision mirror.

Strength in numbers

I don't know that the kiwi alphabet has all the vowels, they don't seem to use them all.

Works with S_X too if you use it phonetically.

You're a very generous person Jerry. I don't have time for these idiots. They want to use the benefits of an open democracy but not follow the rules which make a society function. I do agree with you about corporate welfare, and would argue that there are strong similarities between billionaires/multinationals and sovereign citizens - neither thinks the laws apply to them, and neither pays their taxes.

Oh, I don't think there'd be a lot of sympathy for that prick.
