[twodogsbarking]

I hate being pissed off so early. Have a good day all.

[Mossfern]

1. A bit more information

other than how you feel would be helpful.

[twodogsbarking]

4. Well.

[niyad]

7. erika should learn thev difference between deteriorate and reduce.

[marble falls]

8. Did you google Erica Birk?

[twodogsbarking]

15. I have avoided her. I did originally write Erika Kane and then I realized that is Susan Lucci.

[Mossfern]

18. I know who she is.

Didn't feel the need to google.

[niyad]

2. A bit early to start drinking, but . . .

[mwmisses4289]

3. I think this was announced a couple of weeks ago.

C.K.s own words are coming back to haunt his followers, and they are attempting to claim he didn't say that, that's not what he meant, it was taken out of context, and however else thay can spin his b.s. to make him seem he was a saint.

[Mz Pip]

16. What context

would ever make the hateful, disgusting thing he said okay?

[mwmisses4289]

22. None, of course. But his followers prefer to believe he was a genius,

and he was being cancelled, suppressed or otherwise bullied by them "dam woke libruls" who just don't know genius when they see it.

5. Over exposure will ensure the widow of Chalkie Birk will have a short shelf life. Mrs Custer, Madam Chiang Kai-Shek, ..

... Madam Nhu made livings as professional widows. I don't think Chalkie left much legacy and she's not skilled enough to make a living at it.

[Bookreadingliberal53]

25. If the rumors are true

She’ll be the next Mrs Vance.

[regnaD kciN]

31. Which would be sofa king on-brand for her...

[marble falls]

35. Only to face reality in a few years and have to sue Sherell Furniture for alienation of affection.

[QueerDuck]

6. Is it just me? Am I a perpetual and chronic cynic? But I do not think she loved him...

well, not in the way that most people would define or describe the love of a healthy romantic marriage between two adults.

In every TV appearance, she always seems to rehearsed, scripted. She's a bad actress who over-acts. It's easy for me to imagine that her only claim to fame was being in her high school's production of Our Town.

Every word and gesture is planned... wiping away fake (and often non-existent) tears is so corny. Her emotions speak LESS of genuine grief... nothing about the heartache of losing a true love... and MORE about the anger and rage over the loss of a meal-ticket and business partner.

What a phony baloney she is!

[niyad]

9. But she does know her marks very well. They continue to buy her bs.

[QueerDuck]

10. Cut her mic. Turn off the spotlight. And EXIT stage right.

She's a circus clown. Give her the hook.

[FarPoint]

14. No, you are normal with morals....embracing humanity...

We are in the upside down now....it's not you but them....(((HUG)))

As a long time working RN....this gal did not show authentic grief...not even close....I have seen my share of homicide victim families, other forms of death wherein grief by families are even predictable....this gal is way off the grid in my opinion...

11. "In a CBS News town hall airing Saturday, editor-in-chief Bari Weiss asked Kirk about some of those much-shared

comments. Erika Kirk says some of her late husband's controversial comments, shared widely in the wake of his assassination, lacked context and that he should not 'be deteriorated' to a few sentences: that some gun deaths are 'worth it' to protect the Second Amendment; that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a mistake; and that if he sees a Black pilot, he's 'going to be like, boy, I hope he's qualified.' "

Yeah, why "deteriorate" (sic) Kirk's repertoire of celebrated hate speech to just these two examples? There's so much more to choose from, literally thousands of sentences.

[twodogsbarking]

24. If I get on a plane and the pilot is 79 yrs old I know it's gonna be trouble.

[Scrivener7]

12. Please, Democrats and people of good will, please do not give this eyes. Do not tune in.

Let this first attempt by CBS to FOXify themselves crash and burn so their investors demand they stop with this shit.

[FarPoint]

13. Yea...here in Dayton Ohio...

they were to air the University of Dayton's Men's Basketball game/ Channel 7 ...CBS....but now decided to show this opportunistic widow.... I can find another way to watch game but let me say...UD Men's Basketball is really a strong aspect of our city...

[JI7]

17. Erika is enjoying life more that she ever has

[sop]

20. So, this is how Erika is taking control of Turning Point USA?

[debm55]

19. Will she be wearing black leather pants.?

[Sneederbunk]

21. Will Kyle Rittenhouse be asking questions?

[Oneironaut]

23. Absolutely no one is going to watch this garbage.

[Turbineguy]

26. Walter Cronkite days are long gone.

[twodogsbarking]

27. and that's the way it is

i'll show myself out on that one.

[SamKnause]

28. CBS pushing Christian Nationalism and fascism.

[twodogsbarking]

34. Thank you so much. You nailed it.

[Emile]

29. Erika Kirk, who in the hell is that?

[twodogsbarking]

30. Exactly.

[Irish_Dem]

32. Her husband's death greatly enhanced the Kirk brand, and pushed her into the limelight.

Which she is obviously thrilled about.

[B.See]

33. It's not every day when a major

network repackages white supremacy, bigoted venomous rhetoric, and plain old ignorant HATE SPEECH, as opportunity for (checks notes) 'meaningful dialogue' is it?
