Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

I didn't know this bozo had a hot sauce brand and looking at pictures of the bottles I'm shocked he put a black man on the label.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 15 points 7 hours ago

It is amazing that there is no moral low for anyone on the right side of the political spectrum.

Coming onto store shelves...

"Charlie Kirk's Shot Sauce: It is a fountain of flavor!"

The bottle opens as it should.

[–] tribut@infosec.pub 10 points 7 hours ago

Celebrity Net Worth revised Erika Kirk's wealth projection to $12 million by late 2025, a figure that Grok adjusted upward to $20 million.

Random number from the synthetic text extruder. This is what passes for journalism now?

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 5 points 8 hours ago

Charlie Who ?

[–] SecretiveVault@lemmy.zip 21 points 14 hours ago

Taylor Grift

[–] zoltanshields@lemmy.zip 12 points 13 hours ago

This is bordering on being a Ferengi death ritual.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 92 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

"What really just hits me hard," she said, continuing, "is when i'm in the grocery store, and I see his hot sauce, I want to buy it."

When I initially read it, I thought she meant, like, his favorite hot sauce. Like maybe he really liked Cholula. Nah lmao she's literally just plugging her dead husband's brand lmao these people are ghouls

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 1 points 10 minutes ago

This is so wild. Again no one cared about Charlie Kirk, stop talking about him.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 10 points 6 hours ago

Looks like there was a Fox viewer mentioned in the article who thought the same

A user wrote, "When I first saw this clip, I thought she meant that Charlie Kirk has a favorite type of hot sauce and when she sees it, it reminds her of him. But no, Charlie Kirk actually owned a hot sauce brand that Erika makes money from."

I love hot sauce myself and I've even made some stuff with hot peppers I've grown, but when it comes from a right wing douchebag I can't help but think he was just doing it for his brand. Guns! Hot sauce! Xtreminate your life with KIRK SAUCE!

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 27 points 17 hours ago

Charlie would be proud.

[–] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 51 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Why is anyone interviewing this woman?

[–] CanIFishHere@lemmy.ca 18 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Fox News. The question is why is MS Now covering Fox News as news?

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 1 points 39 minutes ago

I guess ridiculousness gets views, and there is plenty of that right now.

I just want news. Tell me what happened. That's it. No opinions, no discussion, no sensationalism.

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 47 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

She is honoring the memory of his assassinated husband by promoting rebottled hot sauce.

Jesus, some people are so insensitive to true grief.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Idk I felt she honored him pretty well when she was hocking merch. with his likeness on the exact place he was publicly murdered.

[–] KnitWit@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Just want to go on record saying I absolutely want the fireworks treatment at my funeral/memorial.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

And shirts?

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

The only surprise is the hot sauces are gluten free...

And somehow the 3 hot sauces they have use the exact same ingredients and all are a 4/5 for heat. Even the ghost pepper one.

10/10 grift from ms Kirk

Edit. Hi new downvoting stalker account

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 hour ago

Not a bot or a stalker but I downvoted you just for funzies.

[–] bobjones1665@lemmy.world 64 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Charlie Kirk hot sauce. It's hot as hell. Just like where he is.

[–] bedwyr@piefed.ca 17 points 17 hours ago

I hear Charlie Kirk's hotsauce is neck and neck in quality to shitty mass produced hotsauce that has toxic preservatives like sodium benzoate in it.

If only we had a neckromancer maybe we could reborn kirk to disown his bitch wife.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 75 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

I've heard sometimes hot sauce just squirts out the neck of the bottle for no reason...

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago
[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 18 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

Maybe His Hot Sauce Just Did That

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

It's really just filled with the shitty pepper spray she's been using to fake cry on TV...

She was just demonstrating how effective it is

A hot sauce bottle with a neck dispenser would be just gorgeous.

Oh my god that would he a brilliant product.

Someone should make and sell that.

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 13 points 15 hours ago

Erika Kirk breaks down in tears on Fox News while plugging Charlie Kirk

Selective quoting for the joke! :)

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 13 points 18 hours ago

Pours right out the neck, genius.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 13 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Urgh,shitty bottle only pours out the left side.

[–] eggpl4nt@lemmy.world 25 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

My brain refuses to believe this isn't an Onion News headline.

[–] A404@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago

Looks like this is the new normal now. I do not like it either.

Trump just asked the head of UFC to be his new Press Secretary.

Because if I have to have a stroke I want to take you with me!

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago

He really wants to make our government the exact clone of the idiocracy movie.

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

I have to have a stroke

Yes, I'll have a stroke with you.

Wait, are we talking medically, or...?

[–] TurbidityVonAdvectionFog@pawb.social 28 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, the grift continues, she is trying to milk his death for the maximum value before people forget about him. ROFL Cute.

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 16 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

You monster! She's clearly grifting to cope with the pain!

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 19 points 19 hours ago

keep milking that dead husband of yours for more fame points (and remind people on the side to buy his sauces)

[–] lemmie689@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 16 hours ago

Shades of Tammy-Faye! Remember when her and Jimmy were arrested? I used to watch them on TV at 6 am.

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 15 points 19 hours ago

Like histrionically? Or at the realization of how pathetic her life is?

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 13 points 20 hours ago

Shit human being

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)
