Charlie Kirk was a tool.
I mean that literally. He was useful to the American right for organizing and propaganda, then they thought they could use his death to silence and persecute people they don't like, which worked a bit but fizzled, and then he was no longer of use to them so they moved on.

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

The Trump Murder Memo is an admission of legal vulnerability on boat bombings. Read @dandrezner.bsky.social: "It is extremely unusual for a DOJ memo to preemptively declare that members of the armed forces are immune from prosecution."
