Right-wing lawmakers pushed for a tribute to the U.S. conservative influencer who was shot dead.
European Parliament President Roberta Metsola on Thursday rejected a bid by right-wing factions to hold a minute of silence for slain U.S. conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
The initiative was first proposed by Charlie Weimers, an MEP from the right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), as a symbolic measure “to declare that our right to freedom of speech cannot be extinguished,” according to an email chain with dozens of MEPs that was seen by POLITICO.
It’s interesting how you say this because I serve MAGAs. I’m a bartender in small town Merica.
They’re naturally good people. They care. But if politics enter into the conversation, the narrative changes.
Many of them, when brouched with a hypothetical/reasonable question, such as, “Don’t you find it interesting that if you speak online with people of other nations, they all find us shameful?” they say fuck them, 'Merica! We’d fuck them up anyway, if it came down to it.
They want to get a rise out of the “libtards”. I’ve witnessed them preening and delighted out of the reaction they insight.
Once I steer the conversation, so I don’t shoot my own damned self, they start complaining about prices in the same sentence they hope the tariffs will sink in and help them recover their losses.
We are a nation being forced fed our thoughts, opinions, and ideals. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
