No one should be upset by Charlie Kirk memes. He hated empathy, he’d want it this way
Here's an anecdote: On 9/10/2001, The Onion staff had a New York launch party at the Bowery Ballroom to celebrate the staff's move from Madison, Wisconsin to New York City. They woke up hungover, took a week off, and then produced one of the greatest front pages in the history of newspapers.
Hey everybody. On the 25-year anniversary, we're reprinting the much revered 9/11 edition of The Onion and sending that free to every member this month. It's been 25 long years. Look back in anger.
My favorite conspiracy theory right now is that Digger is secretly a musical and they’re desperately trying to hide it in the marketing

RNC Chair Joe Gruters: "We're gonna attack the country with the president"
I think that's true. I think he is very aware of crypto scams
Jeanine Pirro: "The president is very much aware of the cryptocurrency fraud that is being literally imposed upon Americans, and he is well aware of the danger to Americans"
and we're only hearing about it now! what a modest man, to never bring it up before!
Trump claims that after 9/11, "I went down, I was building a building in New York, and I went down there very shortly thereafter -- the following day, you couldn't go down the same day -- and we worked long and hard"
This is basically a push poll and Zohran still beat it.
