Trump Using Kirk’s Death to Stifle Opposition

College Students Weren’t That Fond of Charlie Kirk

70%

A new Generation Lab poll found that Charlie Kirk was almost universally known among college kids: 94% of students had heard of him, a remarkable level of name I.D. for any political figure. However, most college students were not fans. A combined 70% of students said they either “strongly disagree” or “somewhat disagree” with Kirk’s views. Only 30% said they agreed.

A Meaningless Medal


Like everything, Donald Trump has cheapened the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
He bestows them on creeps and clowns willy-nilly, as if they were presidential pardons.
You don’t have to be brave or heroic,
Or particularly steadfast or stoic,
To earn what we’re now calling the Trump Presidential Medal of Sheep Dung.

The Snowflakes Are Winning
