The Yankees held a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk tonight

Go Sox.

Damn Yankees!

Ugh, spare me.

Fuck this shit.

For a neo-Nazi pundit who said gay people should be stoned to death and the civil rights movement was a mistake?

That’s some fucked up bullshit. The guy was a hateful Nazi.

The Skankees mourning a Nazi.

The Nazkees

Yes, moment of silent for the Nazi, not a peep for the murdered school children. I thought these breeders were all about the children?

disgusting. this man called for the gays to be executed.

fuck you yankees!

Yep, I am now done with them.

I have no FKS to give with friends or neighbors who support MAGA ideology. It's toxic and evil and I am tired of playing nice. I am done with them.

I would have walked out of the stadium.

Or blew one of those air horns.

Charlie Kirk was an evil fucker.

He does not deserve a "moment of silence."

Fuck the motherfucking Yankees.

Yeah, so I'm a Mets fan now.

What do I need to know?

Interesting to see how this helps the MAGA come out of the closet. I've seen it on FB. "Friends" who have been silent about politics slip here. Good-bye. Unfriended a high school cunt and her like seven kids, two of whom I'm sure are gay.

News outlets are falling over themselves to lionize and both-sides this neo-Nazi.

For years, there have been a zillion memes about "going back in time and killing young Hitler."

Charlie Kirk was young Hitler. He was taken out before he could actually enforce people to stone gays to death and roll back civil rights.

The Yankees are dead to me.

That's not going to age well either once the news cycle moves on and they look like idiots for doing that.

R16, we’re beyond that.

I think his death is bad for the US political climate but we're also so much better off with him. He was a pretty hateful person and a cynical liar.

Some people thought he’d be president one day. Bullet dodged, for America at least.

Are we sure it is was a real crime and not a little fight between a husband and wife? (As DJT would say)

Where was the moment of silence for the school kids who got shot? Or the Minnesota lawmakers?

Charlie Kirk made divisive comments about gay and black people, among others. Why would the Yankees honor someone like him?

I know we have a lot of NYers here -- what's the feeling on this in New York?

Disgraceful. You think they would do the same if someone like Rachel Maddow had been shot? This country is a giant right wing toilet bowl..

Creeping fascism

I am sure MSNBC would even say that's too far. "while R was our most successful host, we believe that honoring her with a moment of silence would elevate her to a level she is not entitled to. - The Management.

I just can't imagine that NYers are okay with this. I'm shocked that there's virtually no backlash or criticism online.

We're all fucked. We lost. They won. It's all over. They run the country, and it's only going to get worse.

Matthew Dowd, es-Republican tells the truth about the piece of shit and gets fired from MSNBC.

[quote]Dowd said that Kirk has "been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions."

What did he say that was wrong? Nothing.

I say, we're fucked.

Americans look for every opportunity to parade their human decency by public mourning of tragedies. Why not just keep the American flag at half staff year round? It will be interesting to see if Charlie Kirk's murder will be acknowledged on its anniversary every Sep 10, back to back with 9/11.

The best thing I can say about the death of Charlie Kirk, I have to say in Hunter language.

It was a quick death after a surgical kill.

Kash Patel needs to put out an APB out for Seely Booth. Or was it the Serbs?

Say hi to Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms, Charlie.

I see more outrage over randos on social media "celebrating" his death than any of the absolutely awful things he ever said or did.

Nothing makes sense anymore. It feels like the majority of people around us are brainwashed. They're memorializing a modern day Nazi and silencing anyone who speaks out or tells the truth about him.

Look up Horst Wessel. That's what this is. Very dark times are coming, darker than anything we've seen yet.

Misplaced sentiment. Charlie Kirk would have been gleeful if ICE rounded up and deported most of the Yankees lineup.

I would have fired Matthew Dowd for using the phrase “sort of” three times in one sentence. His only true crime here.

Cheer up, guys -- the Tigers beat the Yankees last night!

Patti LuPone lets out a fart and we're inundated with threads from NYers giving their 2¢ endlessly. Weeks will go by and thread after thread will detail the minutiae of Miss LuPone's flatulence.

A NY sports team, probably the most iconic team in the US, goes full Nazi, and *CRICKETS*

Very weird.

Um darling, you’re at a GAY WEBSITE filled with ancient queens and you’re surprised by them talking more about an ancient Broadway diva than the fucking Yankees? I’m one of those queens and I have absolutely no idea what the fuck is going on there and I live a mile away from their stadium. Why would I give a single fuck about what happens at their silly sportsball establishment?

I want to ask the Yankees if they are planning on a moment of silence every year on the anniversary of Hitler's death. KIrk was a Hitler wannabe. He was a despicable human being.

This is where we are.

And just to make me want to spit more blood, I read Symone Sanders column today where she says:

[quote]This is not a Republican problem or a Democratic problem. It is an American problem.

NO SYMONE. It's a fucking REPUBLICAN problem.

I'm gonna have a fucking stroke.

[quote]"Charlie was a giant of his generation." While speaking at the 9/11 memorial ceremony at the Pentagon, President Trump announced that he will posthumously award Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor.

[quote]President Trump has ordered the flags to be flown at half-staff in honor of Charlie Kirk, reflecting a mark of respect for his memory. This directive applies to the White House and all public buildings across the United States

THIS is what we should be getting from mealy-mouth Democrats:

[quote]Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric:

[italic]"Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Ugh..glad it was blacked out in my area...I used to love them but now with this, I will forever root for the Mets . Unless they too had a MOS for the POS

All I can say is that it was a blessing that the shooting occurred in bright-red Utah and flaming hot red Provo. If he'd been shot in Cali or NY, or any blue state/city, Shitler would have the National Guard and Marines on the ground this morning. It exposes the double-standard: Utah's violent crime rate rivals any blue state (although it is lower than most red states, go figure).

R35 We live in bizarre times. I think that in order to survive them, we have to adapt our expectations to understand that the nation Americans now live in is abnormal. Don't join in with the madness but also, don't let the absurdity and wrongness of it all destroy your ability to be calm, function, and, when possible, enjoy life. At least that's my current approach.

Jefree Star was on TikTok mourning his demise. Like another person said, this is a filtering moment that can be used to block stealth Magat Fascists.

I should have added that my comment pertained to the last sentence of your comment, R35 .

[Quote] I'm gonna have a fucking stroke.

Because they honored a fascist who wants you dead, DARLING @ R43. When you're shoved in a cattle car with the rest of us I'm sure we'll all enjoy your "idiot queen" minstrel show.

Sorry that was for DARLING @ R34

Vomit.

Did they hold a moment of silence when two Wisconsin Senators were shot?

The New York Yankees are dead to me.

R18, I assume you meant "we're better off withOUT him."

Unfortunately, there are a lot of young white male right wing shock jocks ready to take his place.

R45, it was MN, not WI. And no there was no moment of silence in for Melissa Hortman and her husband in Congress. Trump barely mentioned it and when he did so, he spent more time calling MN governor Tim Walz "terrible" and "incompetent" and that calling him would be "a waste of time."

Today show repeatedly refferred to him as a young father of two...a young father of two...

r48, 🤡🤮

What about Jeffree Star was "stealth" MAGA? From his Wikipedia article:

[quote] Star was accused of racism due to derogatory remarks about minorities. He later apologized for the remarks.[49][50] A satirical skit between Star and a drag queen was posted on MySpace, in which Star states he wants to throw battery acid on a black woman to lighten her skin so it will match her foundation.[51]

[quote] In June 2020, Star apologized after images and an archive of his former website Lipstick Nazi resurfaced. The website featured swastikas alongside photos of Star engaging in self-harm.[52][53][54]

I’m a native New Yorker. In 2011, we went to a Skankees game, my ex was a fan, the first home game after 9/11. Before it started they had a touching ceremony. Our then so called hero and Mayor Giuliani spoke, a choir sang, they even released an eagle to fly around the field! Okaaaay. Now this in 2025? On 9/10? Really? My reaction? An angry, sickening disappointment, how I’ve felt since last November and first time since the election results that I haven’t read or watched the news.

A young Nazi father of two.

r50 Jeffree Star is not stealth anything. He has come out and said there is not such thing as trans, Moved to Montanna or some fly hole state to avoid paying taxes, and owning guns and having to pay his employees less. He is the queer they roll out for Fox News when they want to debunk any queer agenda. He is vile.

R48 proof that every media outlet in the US is jusr state media now. They're all towing the line and saying the things.

I’m sorry that he was assassinated, but this lionizing of a hateful man is disgusting. Did they have a moment of silence for those killed in Minnesota?

[quote] Today show repeatedly refferred to him as a young father of two...a young father of two...

Two kids who are less likely to need a life time of therapy now is the way I'd put it.

[quote] I am sure MSNBC

MS Now.

You’re actually equating Jeffree Star with MAGA and Charlie Kirk? Good Christ, the Left truly has no fucking idea what is going on outside of its bubble.

I know to block right wing apologists when I see them.

R50, that was from way back in 2007 in a corny skit with a handheld camera with Sharolaid. 🙄

[QUOTE] Good Christ, the Left truly has no fucking idea what is going on outside of its bubble.

Wow. Project much?

I still find it hilarious on here with the American gays who say they never heard of him. What planet are you living on?

R61, trying to come up with something that makes a lick of sense, not just some tired phrase you heard once.

I guarantee his kids will eventually take his place.

Not sure if it's still on, but Trump is scheduled to appear at today's Yankees/Tigers game for 9/11 ceremonies.

I’m glad they are also dead to be as Ill be watching the Mets tonight...fuck dump and the Yankees...they suck anyway

Oh shut up you tired hag R43. And stop w&wing yourself. It’s embarrassing. Cattle cars, camps, harvesting organs… what’s next, you freaks?

"I eat the shit directly from Stephen Miller's asshole!"

Yankees suck.

[quote]Trump is scheduled to appear at today's Yankees/Tigers game for 9/11 ceremonies.

Security there must be a nightmare tonight.

I had no idea that so many MAGATS played for the Yankees.

Gross.

We can speak out against .the violent act, but we don't need to celebrate his life, Yankees were wrong.

I hope there is blowback for them.

Mm ok, R68. Up your meds, dear.

And with that little display of mental illness, I think we can wrap this thread up.

R71 who is the dickhead in the Jesus won shirt?

All this talk about Charlie Kirk's kids will grow up without a father.

Yeah well, Charlie Kirk had a responsibility to society and to his kids to help create a more civil society. He did not do that. Kirk had a responsibility to keep his children safe. But instead, he did the exact opposite. He contributed to a world of hate and put himself in danger--thereby also creating an unstable and unsafe world for his children. Kirk advocated stoning gays to death. When Paul Pelosi was nearly killed because some whacko broke into his house and attacked him with a hammer--and what did Charlie Kirk do? He called Paul Pelosi's attacker a "patriot" and offered to the attacker's bail.

No, Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be killed. But Charlie Kirk was vile scum. Good fucking riddance to Charlie Kirk always hiding behind "his lord and savior Jesus Christ" while spewing hate.

^^ *offered to PAY the attacker's bail.
