A moment of silence for the Yankees who are losing 8-1 after having a moment of silence for Charlie Kirkliberalism

[–] newacctidk@hexbear.net 10 points 8 hours ago

I thought this was a joke. Jesus fuck I hate the Yankees but this is something else.

Fucking pathetic franchise

I decided to check what the dweebs on reddit-logo were saying about it, and I noticed that the r/politics sub hasn't posted a single article about this, lol. Just a complete blackout. In their universe it hasn't happened.

Huh I wouldn't have believed it but you're right

CMV: Charlie Kirk will be a million times more effectual in death, as a martyr for the right, than he could have ever been in life. Or is that the lib in me talking?

BREAKING: In his final moments, Charlie Kirk received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!
