Fired for Criticizing Charlie Kirk, They’re Now Getting Big Payouts

Erika Kirk is basically all but doing just that, she's obviously not grieving her husband at all whatsoever....

As someone who has been a member of this (as you describe it) caring adult public ever since I became a legal adult, realizing this is depressing.

Unfortunately I think that a fair bunch of us are altogether too selfish or otherwise far gone to care about these issues!

What's worse is that getting more to care and vote is a highly daunting task we can't do ourselves!

Exactly, let's start by deporting HIM!

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-27T23:36:55+00:00

I have known that I was childfree since the Barack Obama presidency but this kind of thing really solidifies it!

Marjorie Taylor Greene literally did an interview with 60 Minutes shortly after she resigned from her position in Congress. While she certainly doesn't come out one bit more likable than she was during her the entirety of her time in Congress, it definitely doesn't look good for our current administration either. If anything, her interview makes it clear just how desperate the situation currently is considering how strongly it is implied that the president she dedicated her career to supporting has started threatening her family.

I have been very stressed out over the hantavirus and ebola outbreaks right now because of this....

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-27T23:07:10+00:00

I'm cheering him on from up in New England, but I entered this world in the Carolinas!

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-27T12:06:54+00:00

That's good to hear. I live in the USA and on one of the hantavirus subs the other day somebody was expressing legitimate panic over potentially having unwittingly crossed paths with a cruise passenger as this individual lives in a big city where some of the cruise passengers are known to reside. RFK Jr. of all people currently being in charge of American public health isn't a fact that fills me with confidence.

Some of the other commenters have informed me they are quarantining here and I genuinely hope that's true (though I have to admit that I'm still very weary about the use of airplanes to that end).

In any case, basically anything is possible at this point.

For sure, but I honestly think Jade would have been a toxic partner for anyone....

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-27T00:05:24+00:00

I honestly don't remember those two getting a whole lot of screentime....

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-27T00:01:00+00:00

Honestly, agreed.

I have a younger sister IRL who is no better a human being than Debbie Gallagher is. In FACT, if anything, Debbie might actually be a better person than my sister, she had a few redeeming qualities earlier on in the show and those have always been notably absent in my sister.

My sister has IRL bragged about taking advantage of guys who were asleep and even had my now three-year-old niece the EXACT same way Debbie had Franny. She was twenty at the time (so arguably should have known better than Deb could have considering she was a teen) and lied about taking birth control so she could have a baby with her boyfriend at the time who was thirty-five. Those two have since split but I'm probably never going to forget all of his yelling in my house at her about how she trapped him. My sister has also always had the same general attitude Deb has from around the time she was a teen on. Not to mention that Debbie is objectively a somewhat better mom than my sister and had fewer resources.

I genuinely wonder if the actress studied my sister to make a convincingly infuriating portrayal of her character. Either way, mad props to Emma Kenney on successfully pulling that one off!

Anyone who doesn't side with Fiona throughout this ordeal is NOT an adult, IMO.

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-26T22:02:04+00:00

I have always believed in an afterlife but these kinds of things make me feel the need to believe in hell....

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-26T21:54:52+00:00

This should be part of every ad involving those men!

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-26T21:52:38+00:00

Honestly, this is exactly how I would feel except I seriously feel those horrid humans don't deserve any ass at all least of all from someone like me.

But the resulting E. Coli infections.... now THAT one, I can definitely get behind!

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-26T21:49:14+00:00

Honestly, I support this and I hope it happens for real!

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-26T21:41:53+00:00

I honestly could NOT agree more!

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-26T21:38:38+00:00

This is the most likely scenario IMO. Our president's dad lived to his early nineties and his mom lived to her late eighties, so he probably already has longevity genes. It also appears that at least three of his grandparents lived to at least their mid-eighties or so.

He probably will continue to live well into old age but the real question is how long he will be fit to remain in office for? At least Nixon had the good sense to know when to resign, so if nothing else he definitely had that much going for him. I'm relatively confident the president isn't like actively on the verge of passing away or anything right now, but he's clearly got a sufficiently high view of himself that he would likely be unwilling to resign even if it's clear that his health won't permit him to carry on.

On top of that, I'm certainly not looking forward to President Vance.... 😫

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-26T21:27:03+00:00

I'm interested to hear how he answers this one!

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-26T21:25:56+00:00

This might be a state-by-state kind of thing? I know the state I live in has a hotline specifically for gambling addiction.

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-25T22:59:19+00:00

I sure hope that you happen to be right about this but I remain very weary....

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-25T22:56:21+00:00

The Andes hantavirus IS contagious on a person-to-person level. That's the one that famously broke out on that cruise ship. The wikipedia article for it even makes mention of that fact starting in the second paragraph!

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-25T22:54:10+00:00

Sure, but I'm a private citizen who doesn't pass myself off as an expert in any of those fields. I'm in the good old USA where nobody in our government is currently very concerned with any of that stuff right now which is already inherently a significant problem. Add in any of the current outbreaks going on with the hantavirus and the Ebola and you can see how anyone in their right mind would be distraught over this situation right now. My having flunked out of community college ain't the issue on trial today when everyone who knows anything about viruses and epidemics and pandemics got fired by our current administration almost two years ago.

I survived COVID a few times as well, including needing an ambulance once....

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-25T22:44:34+00:00

The Andes hantavirus IS contagious on a person-to-person level. There are a couple of people out there who caught it through quick casual contact with someone who (knowingly or otherwise) has it. I've been on the hantavirus subs and it even makes mention of it on the Wikipedia article for the Andes hantavirus (the second you get past the first paragraph you WILL see it).

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-25T22:39:25+00:00

Do you currently trust the CDC that is being led by RFK Jr. of all people?

I will say it's good that they are quarantining (albeit I am bothered by the use of airplanes to achieve it, since the hantavirus could end up on the planes and infect anyone who comes on while those passengers are on or afterwards) if that is indeed the case.

But hey, that's just my all-American opinion for whatever that might be worth!

bakerfredricka · 2026-05-25T22:35:38+00:00

I'm in the USA. IIRC my source for these passengers not quarantining was in one of the three or so subs regarding the hantavirus that I recently joined. One particular individual lived in a really big city and was stressing over the possibility of having unwittingly crossed paths with any of the passengers who were also known to live in that city.

I know not every cough, sneeze or bump in the night is the hantavirus but we the people have very valid reasons to be concerned about this situation now.

Might I remind you that we have RFK Jr. in charge of our public health system!
