https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst-Wessel-Lied
Horst Wessel was a Nazi street fighter of no great distinction. He died in a brawl with some other thugs his landlady had hired.
Because his death played into Party propaganda, he was posthumously raised to secular sainthood. The ballad of his death became a favorite Nazi marching song.
If the Germans get wind of this, those plagiarism charges will most certainly nail them to the cross.
Absolutely love this response! LOL
He died in a brawl
Unless I'm misremembering something, he was shot in the face when he opened his apartment door.
late recall: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_Wessel Yeah, shot at his door.
He brawled with the shotgun shell, and lost.
So just like Carotid Artery Charlie, he lost the gun debate the hard way
The brown shirt loser was overdue on his rent payment and the landlord asked some locals to help him/her out. Well, the locals were communist party members and they really took it out on him.
Communist... landlord enforcers? 🙃
Are you suggesting that the Nazis’ characterisation of someone may have been exaggerated to serve their purposes?
The award has become less than meaningless after Lush Limbaugh's.
Just like being president.
or nobel peace prize recipient
An extraordinary champion of gun rights
He literally said that gun deaths are the price we have to pay for a free society.
I geuss the medal is for his contribution to that cause??
It's sorta like a participation trophy, yeah
IIRC medals can't be made of lead
It's okay, he won't notice.
At this point the presidential medal of freedom is worth less then the paper crown you get at Burger King.
Arguably, you have more freedom at BK because you can have it your way.
Welcome to America! Where a convicted felon, pedophile and reality tv “star” is president and we worship racist, bigoted podcasters.
Just so much winning!
Anything to draw the attention away from the Epstein files.
Ehh... worthless award anymore after he bastardized it already
He can wear it from his neck piercing.
Everything about Kirk's death is performative and self-serving. Even from his widow. And I hate saying that, but it's true.
All the way back to the first so-called "memorial" whose poster included 3-people, (Vance, Trump, and Kirk's widow) and literally no photo of Kirk himself...on a poster for HIS goddamn memorial. We all know that turned into nothing more than a MAGA rally, and from there nothing has changed.
don't hate saying that - it's so abundantly absurd, and deserves to be called out. The whole video Erika took is self-centered and just plain weird. I can't say it was a loveless marriage, but she certainly wasn't grieving his death.
Who?
Donald J Trumph is the president of the USA
wished i forgot
Nobel peace prize loser and president of the United States, Donald Trump
Ew.
"But some of his comments on gun violence, LGBTQ issues, race and more often drew criticism from liberals and others."
So understated lol
A lot of medals and awards are going to have asterisks on certain entries in the lists after this.
Assholes of the earth.
Worthless medal at this point.
She totally looks like she's in mourning with the couture black dress and $1,000+ hair cut.
You could tell how sad she was on his podcast vowing to unleash a storm on the democrats or whatever bullshit she said. Genuinely brain dumped it.
Hooooly shit, Charlie Kirk died!?
Yup, shot right through the neck while spewing racist bullshit at a university. As someone who campaigned for bringing back public executions, his wife and kids were there to witness, exactly how he wanted it.
Can you believe that the little shit was only in his early 30s? I thought he was at least a decade and a half older. Hate ages you more quickly.
I hope so, since they buried him.
Well... either way...
Does the medal look like a target?
Where is Lee Greenwood with his banger for Ol' Kirk? God Bless Charlie Kirk maybe?
He's number one with a bullet!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
A loaded god complex cock it and pull it!
They're all just like Charlie Kirk. They are all domestic terrorists. And I haven't even gotten to what outsiders say about them!
I like both interpretations of posthumously in this sentence, but I like the other one better.
