Do you think Erika Kirk could even describe to you how airplanes fly with a basic grade school explanation?

Lmao. Everything Trump does is so extremely similar to how Hitler and the Nazi regime came to be. It's unbelievable.

Damn, crazy how this nobody is still in the news. She is grifting HARD and loves that her husband was murdered. Now she gets the spotlight and can't get enough of it.

Unlike them, I get my news from a reliable source :

That BJ game must be good. No one can say this whore has any other talent.

Stop. It's 2026, we don't need to do this sex shaming bullshit anymore. Giving blowjobs doesn't make you a bad person. Being good at blowjobs doesn't make you a bad person. Don't lump Erika fucking Kirk in with people who are simply good at blowjobs. Erika Kirk is a bad person because she's profiting off of her husband's death. Erika Kirk is a bad person because she's continuing her husband's legacy of hate and bigotry. Blowjobs have nothing to do with it, and you're muddying the waters by making that the focus.

[–] Ibuthyr@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

This. If anything, blowjobs should be encouraged. Because they're nice.

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Much as I agree with this post, I don't think emphasis here is on blowjob but on doing sexual favours to increase your influence. Also not claiming that it is right, though I agree she clearly seems to be enjoying the influence her husband's death provided to her.

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 2 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

The original comment is putting "performs oral sex" in the same moral category as "uses dead husband's bigoted beliefs and influence to put herself in positions of power in an authoritarian government". That's asinine. I don't feel the need to tolerate such stupid opinions. Sex work is real work, and performing sex acts between consenting adults is not immoral.

Never met the woman but this feels like a comment copy and pasted from a trove of remarks showing just how sexist an online community is.

Her actions and comments can speak for her not being a good person without us making allegations about her sex life.

Aren't beauty pageant winners supposed to advocate for world peace?

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

No, they primarily assist with planning bombing operations over potentially hostile airspace.

Wait a minute, hear me out: What if - and I'm just spitballing here - what if Melania wanted to be on that panel? What would have to happen?

[–] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

She already has a job - it’s fondling wrinkly dicks in exchange for expensive outfits

[–] Grumpyleb@lemmus.org 7 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Hopefully Trump steals the midterms as well and plunges the entire world into further chaos, maybe then Americans will consider doing something? I'm genuinely curious as to what it will take for general strikes?

[–] cheffrey@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

It’s going to take a culture shift. People on the ground don’t feel like they can trust each other. Until we have a sense that our neighbors won’t let us go hungry, a general strike can’t be sustained.

We get there with mutual aid, building relationships with our neighbors, and time. General strike 2028

[–] Grumpyleb@lemmus.org 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Damn, if you're aiming for 2028 to effect any realistic changes that ship might have sailed. People are already hungry and broke, I don't understand you lot to be honest.

Just 2 more years of fascism then we can speak up

[–] Grumpyleb@lemmus.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fascism will dig in and you won't have elections without violence, we've literally seen it before. Only this time they have the worlds richest people funding them.

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He’s being facetious. Sarcastic, even.

[–] Grumpyleb@lemmus.org 2 points 1 day ago

It's a sign of the times that I couldn't pick up on that...

Is that all it takes to get a key job in the us government nowadays?

[–] Janx@piefed.social 4 points 1 day ago

I know you're joking, but it's not "nowadays", it's this administration. Corruption from the top down...

This Caligula has a horse for every office of state

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago

Sure, why not. Every thing else is a fucking joke anyway, they might as well pile on even more with the farce.
