Sorry for what? Not making a political rally from Kirk's memorial?

[–] wavebeam@lemmy.world 16 points 3 hours ago

could it be that he wasn't sorry? he meant what he said and clarified that you fucking twats deliberately misinterpreted it to advance your liberal-cancelling agenda

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 hours ago
[–] darkmarx@lemmy.world 43 points 5 hours ago

He also didn't say anything that warrented an apology.

Vance is a dud, the MAGA movement will die with Rump

[–] SnoringEarthworm@sh.itjust.works 3 points 50 minutes ago

While Trumpism is definitely a cult of personality, I doubt all the racist and xenophobes will sudden see the light when he dies.

At best, they'll hang up their hats and blend in with the rest of conservative America until the next demagogue shows up.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Say thank you! Say you’re sorry!

JV Dunce is such a fucking nanny.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Love it. Use it!

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 15 points 5 hours ago

Joey, you ever been to the heritage foundation?

[–] pleaseletmein@lemmy.zip 19 points 6 hours ago

Did he even say “thank you”?

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 8 points 5 hours ago

When is JD Vance’s apology coming out?

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 69 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

JD Vance is such a piece of shit. All these years they've said anyone with morals was "virtue signalling"... What a fucking joke.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

The guy is constantly evil signaling. It’s bizarre.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 21 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

In their minds, they probably are since they can't conceive anyone being truthful, empathetic and not entirely self-serving.

[–] doctordevice@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 hours ago

It's that really so surprising? This is the crowd that thinks atheists are inherently immoral because they can't fathom anyone acting altruistically without the threat of eternal torture. That says a lot about their own internal moral compass.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 24 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah. And since Kirk was killed conservatives have been nothing but a blubbering pile of virtue signalling. Most of them have never given a single shit about a person dying whom they did not personally know. But now suddenly this Nazi was Christlike and most deserving of sympathy of anyone ever

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The line will be provided by the party and the faithful will parrot it, no more, no less. If I had bigger expectations of the American populace and American-coded brainwashed folks around the world, I'd be in tears 24/7. 🙃

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, I mean a huge chunk of Americans don't give a fuck about Kirk dying though. In fact, I would say most conservatives are lying when they say they do care. Mostly, they're just upset that their ideology was attacked. So yes when trump blamed the left instantly, they loved having permission from the Fuhrer to do the same.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 109 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

He shouldn't have...

Honestly I was a little pissed at how apologetic he was.

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 19 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

For real. I turned it off when he started crying for the dead fascist.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, when he started (fake) crying I was expecting him to pretend it was about Kirk but actually make it about children killed in school shootings. It was far more of an apology than it should have been.

Also, I hate the line (that's often repeated) that "violence is never the answer." OK. If that's true, I guess we should stop celebrating those who fought in WWII, and soldiers in general? How can you celebrate war while also holding the opinion that all violence is wrong? They obviously both can't be true at the same time, and we all know which one isn't true.

[–] 418_im_a_teapot@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t think people celebrate war in general. They celebrate the sacrifices made by people who fight in that war.

But, ya, violence is definitely necessary at times.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 hours ago

They celebrate warriors at least, but many celebrate war too. I would say rightfully in many cases. Going to war to stop Fascists is a just war, and should be celebrated, for example.

The issue is just they say violence is never justified to protect the status quo, but when it's useful for them then it's totally fine, and they don't address that contradiction. It's obviously just a thought terminating cliche, and it's wrong.

He should have cried for the school kids who died the same day as Kirk and for the innocent people dying in gaza, he should have made a big deal out of gun violence and gun access while talking about every shooting except Kirk as a tongue in cheek way of trolling them for their gun loving, racist martyr died by a gun at the hands of a white guy

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 39 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Kimmel also didn't say anything about Charlie Kirk either. But that didn't stop you asshats from crusading. His comments were purely direct at Trump being a massive POS when asked about Kirk. So glad we're all on the same page that he didn't say sorry, nor did he need to.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I think we're starting to see an increase in astroturfing, but I wouldn't have the slightest clue how to verify it.

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 9 points 7 hours ago

I don't know, maybe watch the sketch comedy channel Fox News for verification. :-D

[–] Juice@midwest.social 9 points 6 hours ago

Euwe didint sawy sowwy mistow Kimmow

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 40 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe Charlie shouldn't have gotten in the way of that perfectly innocent bullet

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 hour ago

Hey! What Charlie was doing with conservative bullets is not for us to judge.

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 9 hours ago

Was he wearing a suit though

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago

We can't hear you with all those couch cushions in your mouth, Vance.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 9 points 7 hours ago

And if he did apologize to Trump, I would have been more pissed off. So this is technically correct.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago
[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 15 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Wasn't he back on Tuesday? It took Just Dance Vance until Thursday to process it?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 18 points 9 hours ago

He was probably on vacation again.

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

From what I‘ve seen —because I’ve recently started checking Reddit again — Lemmy usually has about a 24 hour delay on memes like this.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

This headline is from my local news from last night. So yeah I was delayed. 🤦

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 7 hours ago

No shade! I much prefer it here and appreciate you posting memes.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Apology czar, James Donald Bowman (aka Vance)

[–] sidebro@lemmy.zip 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Wait, did he actually say this? Can someone link me to that?

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

“On the other hand, he didn’t actually say sorry to Charlie Kirk or his family,” added Vance, who was close friends with Kirk.
