George Floyd's birthday is the same day, the memes are going to be intense
wait really? holy shit. How are they running the country and yet this incompetent??
edit: lmao you guys replying are the best!
You misspelled “ruining”
Oh they are very competent at ruining it
Nonono he's right. I just also misspelled impotent.
Incompetent? That's by design.
Cool part is an antifascist rager can look a lot like a "celebration of life"
Are you team Jacob or team Edward?
Team George or Team Charlie?
Always team Carlin
Yeah, I'd rather do this.
Is anyone selling this as a flag? I would love to order some flags with this.
Are you 4imprint certain?
This is a US owned company. Are there any similar companies operating out of countries that would be unlikely to allow a “subpoena”?
Couple parachute swatches, few sticks of wood, spray paint, exacto knoife.
Meanwhile, my previous professor received death threats that they "need to be lynched" for refusing to mourn him. They were also fired for stating they won't mourn him.
edit for clarity
They were fired for being told that they needed to be lynched?
Just to be clear, I'm reading it as "the Prof got fired for saying they wouldn't mourn Kirk, and someone else said the Prof should be lynched too"
Not sure why the dv. The comment confuses me too.
I read it as obviously the prof was both fired and threatened with lynching, (by a different person) for the same comment that they won't mourn Charlie Kirk. But I could be wrong.
The only way it makes sense is 2 professors.
Their professor got told by another professor who got fired.
Props for the university to take a stance against facism?
Oh they want me to remember Charlie Kirk? Oh... okay, I got you, fam. I'm going to dedicate my one annual Facebook post to remembering classic Charlie quotes.
I'm going to need to collect some real bangers. I want to share the entirety of the man I know him to be.
Don't forget to include the vids of when he accidentally "debates" people that were actually prepared
Dude made a career off of debating college aged liberals by being really good at moving the goal post and building strawmen.
When he actually talked to someone with experience enough to call it out; it really showed how weak he was at debating. Can I be sad he died before debating Hasan Piker? That's the only thing I'm sad we missed.
Hasan is not the best at debates but the topic was gonna be heavily Israel/Palestine and he would have cooked him on it.
That's cool, we'll rename it to Fascist Fountain day later on.
Remember kids, the midterms are only a year away. If your Democrat is on this list, you need to find a new one!
We will once again be faced with (a) More Trump or (b) ???
Third-partiers, clock is running out!
Third parties are irrelevant. They have failed continuously for over a hundred years. How is someone going to build an effective 50 state organization, find and vet candidates that won't betray us in office, raise awareness with absolutely no old media coverage and social media that buries them, then win an election in 14 months? There are some solid progressives running in Democratic primaries, and they are the ones that need resources.
At least Bernie's been pretty successful. Theoretically someone could also run on populist policies like his and succeed as 3rd party.
No, they couldn't. Bernie knew that. There are too many loyal Democratic voters. It would just hand the election to the Republican.
We're talking about midterms, not president. There's no reason Bernie has been successful that bars others from doing the same.
Honestly im not sure we need a 50 state org for a third party rep or senator to succeed. President, yeah i see it.
Hard agree with the primaries though. Thats when we get to fight for values and not just against assholes (thanks first past the post).
The absolute state of the seppo voter...
I don’t understand why any Dem would even bother voting on this. Just abstain or don’t show up for the vote. What could they possibly gain from a yes vote?
Showing their trues Colors
I would understand not wanting to bother to vote because dumb but i prefer they go and vote against.
Democrats at large are small r republicans.
Because they care much more about not upsetting the Republicans even a little than they do about actually serving their people. The only thing on their mind during this vote was about how many angry republicans in their area they'd have if they didn't go along with it. They don't want to go the way of Melissa Hortman.
I understand that this is a tumultuous time, and that being a major figurehead and pushing against the descent into fascism may put you on some crazed gunman's hit list, but that's what's needed and expected of a good leader in times like these. If you can't handle it, leave and make way for someone more willing to take the risk.
Blackmail.
The left has been remembering Charlie Kirk for the past week and a half - the right hasn't seemed to enjoy it very much.
No one should forget his literal quotes. He should be remembered for the christofascist he is. Women shouldn't be allowed to attend his funeral because they should be barefoot and pregnant at home.
Some of that hateful bigots choice opinions:
-Gay people should be stoned to death
-Most people are scared when they see a black pilot flying a plane
-Taylor Swift should reject feminism and submit to her husband
-No one should be allowed to retire
-Leftists should not be allowed to move to red states
-British Colonialism was what “made the world decent"
-The guy who assaulted the Pelosi's should be bailed out
-Multiple black politicians “stole white people's spots"
-MLK Jr was “an awful person”
-The Great Replacement Theory is reality
-Hydroxychloroquine cures COVID
-Vaccine requirements are “medical apartheid”
-Guns deaths are acceptable in order to have a 2nd amendment
-Women's natural place is under their husband's control
-Parents should prevent their daughters from taking birth control
-George Floyd had it coming, the Jan 6th protestors didn't
-The 1964 Civil Rights Act was a “huge mistake”
-Encouraged parents to protest mask mandates
-Mamdani winning in NY is a travesty because Muslims did 9/11
-Muslims only come to America to destabilize Western Civilization
-Palestine "doesn't exist" and those who support it are like the KKK
Charlie Kirk is the first person in my entire life (am over 50) who has openly stated he judges people by the color of their skin and wasn't condemned for it. I certainly never expected to see America regress that far back into the past.
So they want the memes every year, loud and clear!
I figure they intentionally picked a day that is coming up soon, instead of using the day he died to ensure everyone still has their feathers ruffled and see if they can instigate another murder they can capitalize on
Haha they picked his birthday becuase it's right around the corner because they knew no one is gonna remember that piece of dirt next year.
They want a spark date in October to take another shot at starting the war. They may hype it up and encourage big maga gatherings, to powder the keg, as it were.
Exactly this. They want to get people fighting one another. The kindling is everywhere, they just need a spark to light it
They also want people too scared to oppose them on or ahead of these mass raids. Glad nat guard is writing such fun songs lately.
because republicans never contributed anything worthwhile. remember they dropped mccain and rushs death the moment people stopped paying attention.
I'll remember that bitch getting shot in the neck.
the man had a way with words.
Oh hell yeah we are getting Charlie Day
We already have a Charlie Day. I want a Charlie Night. I'll even accept a misspelled version of Charlie Knight!
Yeah! Oct 14
killpunch a Nazi day!Every day should be punch¹ a nazi day.
1.— Or shoot (in the neck, or wherever), or kick, or beat with baseball bats, or brutalise in any other manner that feels appropriate.
Back in the day, for some of us, any day you saw a nazi WAS punch a nazi day.

A whole day to remember the Epstein files? Seems like overkill when they could just release them.
October 14 as "release the Epstein Files day" seems like an odd alternative to simply releasing them.
More like national day of celebrating his death, hopefully.
Start organizing protests and building effigies to burn.
This is going to backfire on the GOP in spectacular fashion.
The DNC... well that depends on if Americans keep voting them back in.
Please Americans, run for office or support someone new to politics running for office!!
If they control TikTok, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and every TV channel can have their license revoked for saying anything that can be misconstrued as against Trump... I fear it won't matter much who runs. Their will be ads everywhere lying about them and guiding the public into not showing up to the polls to elect someone he doesn't like, and if all else fails he'll just have the electors faked and pardon the people he asks to fake them before leaving office this time.
Then the next president he chose just threatens the states who try to place state charges against those people
Lol, no.
I think I just discovered a way to make more holidays
wow I didn't expect them to make it a whole celebration but ok if you ask for it
Hell yeah, I'm gonna have a BBQ and blast some CCR. Flag is gonna be flying at FULL MAST.
Why do we need a whole day just to be reminded of this piece of shit?
It's a reminder that republicans are racist sexist christian nationalist nazi hypocrite traitors.
Horst Wessel
We talked about this last week
Exactly why they husstled so hard, and continue, to make it look like communists killed kirk instead of a rad gun nut, and possibly his own backend.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_Wessel
Any excuse to party.
But I thought it was in remembrance of what would have been George Floyd’s 47th birthday on October 14th. I think they messed up and should fix it.
"George Floyd was an African-American man born on October 14, 1973" Yes
and in remembrance his birthday will be celebrated on October 14th, right?
Pathetic. America is a pathetic and cowardly nation. Get fucked yanks.
you're just mad because we have our own pedophiliac king now.
don't worry, you have your own.
This is an American problem like it was a German problem. Which is to say it isn't.
It's just bullies taking over, systemitized...

Here is a nice slim read that helps weed out the cultural flimflam from the cold machinery. There's some hope in it. We could save The Bauhaus this time.
Don't worry, we are.
The Democratic candidate for Governor of New Jersey if anyone was wondering.
Here's the contact email for her campaign: [email protected]
This is a day off protest against Nazi correct? Right!
Maybe tie it to 50% off rifle scopes and a free marksmanship lesson. In memory of why we celebrate this day.
Practice at the range day!
Oh for fuck sake.
Literally said this out loud when I read the headline
Weren’t the only one.
Sure, remind every lawmaker who this guy really was every year on George Floyd’s birthday.
release the epstein files though
in response, I propose September 10th as a day of celebration
We should all wear red neckties. Donald's onboard already.
Oh I’m just… gushing with excitement….
Bullseye!
That's the Charlie Kirk diarrhea. When you hear something so heinous and stupid and it sits uneasy in your stomach, and it's actually just liquid excrement purely from the emotional response... That's a Charlie Kirk.
I plan to celebrate George Floyd’s birthday instead since it’s on the same day.
Old Jesus was too woke and empathetic. Remember new Jesus, and not the Epstein files He demanded be released.
When I pooh that day, I will name it Charlie Kirk. Then I'll flush that stinking turd away with pleasure.
Appropriately celebrated by shooting Nazis?
Or a pilgrimage to desecrate his grave.
October 14th, rifle day at the range.
3D printed firearm giveaway on Luigi Mangione day.
"But we're not the same guys. Our billionaires are not like their billionaires. They will save us."
If I get off work, cool. But fuck this piece of shit and the pedos that worship him.
Celebrate by tossing red dye into every fountain in town!
(A good alternative if you don't have red dye to toss in the fountain — or if you just don't feel like using dye — is the blood of one or more fascists.)
You stink like a paid agitator. Reek, even.
And you stink like a fascist apologist, i.e., a fascist.
Any democracy that tolerates the existance of fascists will soon stop being a democracy.
What part of me stinks like a fascist, be specific.
Some protests should not be peaceful.
I, for one, don't intend to let the fifth biggot who threatens me directly, to walk away. Maybe run. Maybe limp. Maybe I plead self defence with no helpful media coverage.
What are you doing to help? It's okay if you want to focus on soup and bailfunds, but pacifism has failed to save us from preditory governance for 50 years in the u.s.a.
Stonewall was a riot started by a police raid on a social club.
Wait, you guys are getting paid?
I'm surprised that The Onion can't think of this earlier
I guess fuck them kids 🤷...... pedos all of them
He may have been into fucking them but he was also into shooting them or at least lying other people to shoot them I'm not sure if he ever pulled the trigger himself I can't say whether he did or didn't though...
Yeah, Jeffries would do that, fuck him and the rest of the list.
Excuse me? Is this theonion? nottheonion?
Oh, just plain normal USA news. OK...
Sometime it feels like we’re living in the onion.
Libs <---> Fascism. As always.
Does everybody wear diapers on CK day or what?
I think we all dress like it's the San Fermín festival?
I don't think Democrats being collaborators is enough to paint all libs like that
Cept Libs are far more right of Center. Socialists fall more left, and Communists would be far left of the Right.
Malicious compliance incoming.
Atheists, im counting on you to establish a tradition that makes this a day mocking Charlie Kirk. I believe in you.
What does any of that have to do with atheism? Make it make sense.
Atheists do cool stuff?
Ever ask an agnostic to do something? Cant ever make up their minds.
Evangelicals, c'mon now, they created the dude.
Catholics, they boring.
Muslims, not their bag.
Satanist? Maybe.
I could keep going.
As an atheist, I have to admit that the Wiccans have been doing a better job with regards to Kirk. They should get to pick the theme each year.
How are y’all gonna celebrate Charlie Kirk Day? LOL
Here’s some suggestions:
-T-shirts and signs with his most despicable quotes -Maybe one that has him depicted like a Saint on a stained glass window, showing how he went out, as is tradition.
HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK
HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK
HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK
HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK
HIS NAME IS CHARLIE KIRK
I laugh my ass off at people who get offended when you literally quote him word for word and in full context. There is nothing like that with MLK or anyone.
He was a paid propagondist who preached hatered, bigotry and advocated for genocide, and his legacy speaks for itself.
Nice, now we have an American Bonfire Night. Luckily Kirk had equally recognizable facial features so the effigy's will be on point. Remember to add a lil fire cracker in the neck for both a realistic finish, and a throwback to the OG Gunpowder Plot 😀
Why not have someone compose a song about him, which you could make the new theme song for the maga movement?

those DEMS are definitely DINOS, that are probably being challenged by magats in thier seats the next election, or they are not running anymore, so they show thier true colors. plus they are voting, because thier megadonors, and AIPAC wouldnt fund them anymore( which funnily enough also funds gop)
I'll remember it, and laugh my ass off.
We got until then to have the best jokes ready
Ahh, yes. Racist Nazi's deserve remembrance days in Trump's America.
Funny there are no days to remember the hundreds of CHILDREN killed by Republicans.
Well, I'm going to make October 14th National 30-06 Rifle Day!
Why is it not possible?
I mean, if not, thats fine, we can make it National Freedom Rifle Day 😀
Why Kirk day? To celebrate? Pop the bubbly and go to town!
Fire Hydrant Appreciation Day
Well, I'm gonna start marking October 14th as National Paranoia Day. Just for fun.
A little paranoia goes a long way
This is how you make a martyr.
Kek fuck that noise!
New stat holiday? I'll take it
Racist.
