I like both interpretations of posthumously in this sentence, but I like the other one better.

Will they also introduce a song about him, like Horst Wessel got?

Where is Lee Greenwood with his banger for Ol' Kirk? God Bless Charlie Kirk maybe?

The freedom to be an asshole, specifically.

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 guarantee the military will not support him in the event of an uprising. What a tonedeaf way to lead people you'll need support from.

[–] LowtierComputer@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I guarantee much of the military will.

I'm would imagine that having all the generals and admirals in one place where they can talk directly to each other, and pissing them off with the reason you committed such an egregious breach of opsec isn't the best move he could have made. I'm pretty sure that our military leaders just got all the opportunity they needed to completely undermine the administration at every turn.

The military that incaded the wrong country for 20 years?

It was kind of uncomfortable as the medal is hung from the neck...

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Should've been hanged from the neck (not intended to invite any violence)

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 4 days ago

I may or not have implied a bit of that, yes.

the White House awarded a white nationalist Christian fascist. doesn't matter what it really means; the fact it was done at any level is appalling.

The real freedom is the one we got from CK's nonsense

[–] PeacefulForest@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

This is the biggest power grab he can attempt after not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Medal of WTF!?!?
