        This seemed a little sus to me so I checked the dictionary. Merriam-Webster says wet can mean consisting of liquid such as water. (See 1a of screen capture).

    As much as they are both (all 3 actually) are horrible people, there’s nothing nefarious in her not grieving how people want her to.

    Perhaps she doesn’t care. Perhaps she does, but sees an opportunity and can suck it up. Perhaps she does and she is using work to distract herself. Perhaps she does and it comes out differently. Perhaps she does and shes good at acting like nothing is wrong.

    It’s all just a distraction story.

      In some ways I completely agree.

      Its absolutely possible for someone who loves their husband to appear happy after they suddenly pass away.

      However, the pivot to capture the TP USA business is a conscious one, and it definitely feels pretty gross to anyone who understands that it is indeed a business.

      The thing is, to people receptive to their message, its not a “business”, its a cause or a movement. They can just say “Charlie would have wanted her to continue his work!”

      I genuinely think she was. To psychopaths, everyone is transactionally of limited use. I think in him she genuinely saw and identified someone like herself. And if something had happened to her. Charlie would have 100% done the same as her. They aren’t well.

        She’s happier now, I’m sure, because he’s more useful to her dead than he was alive. There’s a transaction for ya.

            Eh… he was a fair target for mockery and it’s not like his death changed any minds for the better… Charlie the martyr is far worse than Charlie the living douche.

    Not surprising. I recall when she “forgave” and every media outlet and commentator was like “this is wonderful, healing and what we all need to do!”

    Why are so many folks so dumb in recognizing charlatans? We need education just for this. Know when you’re being played!

      I’m becoming increasingly of the opinion that some groups of people care more about the packaging than the message.

      As long as a person says the right kinds of things, is of the right pedigree, or has the right support and/or accolades, they can get away with damn near anything.

    Wait till you see how fast Melania moves on and profits from Donny’s death. She might set a land speed record.

    Since not even his wife seems to care, can they just stop reporting? Some podcaster got shot a while ago, a lot of people get shot all the time.

    Kids get shot, ICE shoots people who the fuck cares about this guy?

    Why was this ever big news?

      They immediately used his death to try to argue that trans people are all domestic terrorists, and organized witch hunts to get people fired for making comments (often targeting professors that were on TPUSA’s hit list). There is a good chance that the Trump regime will cite the shooting as evidence that trans people should be viewed as terrorists.

      I think it also really exemplifies the “reality show” - iffication of right wing American politics. The president is a reality TV star, Dr Oz is administering Medicare, Hegseth was a news personality; Erika Kirk is just an opportunistic vulture like the rest. The kind of person who spends their life trying to get on Big Brother or Survivor so that they can make a career out of partying and socializing.

    We are somehow surprised a shitty person had a shitty wife? There are plenty of dynamic asshole duos.

    This is a worthless story consisting entirely of peoples reactions in social media. What a waste of internet.
