    Calling a person that literally got a hole shot through them a “man of steel” has to be the most perfect microcosm of Fox’s entire reporting style, lmao.

    “Compelling evidence of XYZ actually PROOF of Not-XYZ upon closer inspection”

    He’s so brave for checks notes getting shot, and not dodging the bullet, lest someone behind him get hit.

      Thank you Charlie Kirk, for your sacrifice, and saving the people behind him. What a guy.

      If many more conservatives also want to do the same and be like Charlie, that would win me over.

    Well we all saw a man turned into a fountain.

    If that’s not a miracle, I don’t know what is.

    Yeah you know… If you’re bragging about your gods miracles, maybe you should make sure that the miracle performed at least better than a bullet proof vest?

    Like, literally, humans have a better track record at stopping bullets BEFORE THEY GO INSIDE YOUR BODY than your god who could only be arsed to stop said bullet on its way out…

    In all seriousness though, this is perfectly normal. Depending on bullet weight, speed, distance it traveled, materials it has hit on its way in, materials it has hit inside, it might leave the body, stay inside, maybe hit a bone and change trajectory completely, etc.

    Nothing miraculous to see here

    God made sure only Charlie Kirk was killed. It’s as if God smote Charlie in the middle of a crowd, in the middle of saying hate, and spared the onlookers.

    Yeah, I don’t think that’s a good thing for fans of Charlie.

      I saw some Republicans in Congress were calling him the 13th disciple of Jesus. There’s definitely an attempt to infuse religion into the mythology being constructed around him.

          I can’t imagine most protestant denominations have the organizational and bureaucratic capacity for catholic sanctification. It looks like Anglicans kept the pre split saints and then created a new category of heroes and they seem to do their own thing for it. That’s the most similar protestant denomination to catholicism.

          It’s really hard to imagine a scenario where the baptists are organizing enough to do a trial where evidence for and against sainthood are presented. Also the concept of saints is entirely Tradition so it violates sola scriptura

    The doctor added that Kirk’s “bone was so healthy and the density was so so impressive that he’s like the man of steel. It should have just gone through and through. It likely would have killed those standing behind him too.”

    Do people really believe these fairy tales? It’s the same absurd rhetoric they use regarding Trump. Reminds me of the rhetoric North Korea uses about Kim Jong Un

      Charlie Kirk was filled with a huge amount of methane under pressure. You could hear it when he opened his mouth.

      Luckily everyone in the crowd could smell it once he popped a leak and high tailed it out of there.

      The crowd dodged a bullet…

            The shooter who went to a Charlie Kirk event, took one clean shot at Charlie Kirk, saw Charlie Kirk go sideways and left the scene? I wonder what their motive could have been, maybe they would have shot someone else if Charlie Kirk hadn’t been there to bravely catch that bullet.

            motif

            I’m sure the artist had quite the distinctively well-timed, precise, strikingly vibrant motif throughout their oeuvre. It drew dramatic reactions from all critics.

      I think they’re just fucking stupid.

      Not uneducated people with critical thinking skills.

      Just actually, really, super fucking dumb. There is no nuance to them. Everything is black and white and only happens one way. Life is straight forward, and its hell the whole time. That’s it. That’s the end.

        Oh uh. My comment has a “these” (pronoun) without a specific thing its tied to. I did mean trump voters in general but moreso the people who are outwardly part of it. Fox news. The cabinet. Etc.

          Ah yeah, I definitely narrowed your comment to just apply to the voting base, even though the crazy ass headline in question is being perpetuated by the grifters.

          Thats mah B!

          I do agree though, those who are feeding the voters are insane/unreasonable and evil. And I think they know that their base is dumb enough to accept their grifting “words of wisdom.”

      I’ve been calling MAGA a mental illness for a decade. Everything they have done, and continue to do, indicates severe logical corruption in every sense of the word, and it’s transmissible through propaganda.

      That’s why the USA is cooked, for generations, and is damn near guaranteed to experience civil war &/or Christian fascist dictatorship before anything gets better. There’s no coming back from a mental illness epidemic affecting a double digit percentage of the population.
