Just watched a clip of Poilievre talking about Charlie Kirk, who killed him, and why. And it was not very different from what Trump says: blaming the authoritarian, violent left. It's an ideologically warped distortion field. Pierre may be worried about the leadership review. Or he might believe it.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Everyone was inside on the internet for years and the worst people in the world absolutely took advantage of that. And now they've built all the tools they need to make us miserable all the time

I get if you think that liberals/Democrats aren't doing enough. But when you say that everyone is the same, you're letting these jerks off without proper condemnation

It will be a good show, because AEW PPVs always are

But I'm only half interested in AEW right now. They're not even doing anything wrong, I'm just less interested than usual.

So like a 4, I guess?

It is the Tuesday of a PPV week, so as I like to do, I must go to the people. On a scale of 1-7, one being the least, 7 being the most, where is your current excitement level for this Sundays edition of AEW WrestleDream?
