Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Couldn't have happened to a smaller faced guy

One punch and you've got 2 black eyes, a broken nose, and a busted lip

If his face were any smaller, Dick Tracy would be after him

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Oh holy shit, I laughed my ass off to this.

Take a bow!

[–] Crow_Thief@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Can you explain the joke? Why does dick tracy go after small faced guys?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 32 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah the small face jokes are great but that picture makes him look like the unhinged hate child of Nixon. Maybe we just need to slip him a few fifths of vodka soaked into a pineapple with cottage cheese.

Charlie Kirk,

Has got a hideous smirk.

His face is much too small,

And he’s a real jerk.

[–] Potatisen@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago (3 children)

What's wrong with his face, it looks so... odd. Don't mean to be rude but it's kinda off-putting. Never seen this guy before, don't know who he is, nor do I care.

At about 107% to 110%, he starts to look less odd.

Trying to figure how his jaw would function is making me dizzy. Lol

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 10 points 9 months ago

Bro, what?

His mom really did mess up his face sliders, 108% looks like a real boy.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

God I am so easily amused 🤣

[–] oleorun@real.lemmy.fan 7 points 9 months ago

This is the lord's work right here.

[–] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 28 points 9 months ago

Don’t feel too bad, his face has become a bit of a meme in and of itself so you’re not alone.

Weird face before he became a full blown fascist propagandist, and that’s a job that will ruin your body

To quote my late sister's late father-in-law (who was an old school republican): Republicans eat their young.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


For more than a year, Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist and MAGA influencer, was aimed like a heat-seeking missile toward one goal — ousting Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.

In recent weeks, at least three people, including McDaniel herself, have privately warned Trump about Kirk’s conduct, seven sources familiar with the discussions told NBC News.

Those comments sparked a second person, Darrell Scott, a pastor from Ohio who was one of Trump’s first vocal Black allies and has been an adviser to him, to express concerns directly to the former president, four people familiar told NBC News.

What’s more, many of Kirk’s critics say his passionate effort to unseat McDaniel had less to do with the party’s lackluster electoral results in recent cycles and more to do with further bolstering Turning Point’s bottom line.

At the “Restoring National Confidence” summit, hosted by Turning Point Action ahead of this month’s RNC winter meetings in Las Vegas, state and local GOP chairs were pitched on transitioning their voter outreach and canvassing efforts to an app created by Superfeed Technologies, a company led by Tyler Bowyer, the chief operating officer of Turning Point USA.

Turning Point Action, which also seeks to build up a team of battleground state “ballot chasers” to help cut into the Democratic advantage with mail-in and early voting, vehemently rejected the idea this was just to make a quick buck.
