I watched “The Charlie Kirk Show” for the first time today. It was a beautiful idea to organize a tribute to Charlie led by JD Vance as a host. But the execution was embarrassingly bad. Terrible sound, pathetic editing. The plan was to show clips of Charlie debating on college campuses in the breaks between guests. That was messed up beyond belief with clips poorly cut, one segment repeating several times from different points. There are hundreds of excellent clips where Charlie does all the work. A ten-year-old should be able to get a good, representative collection and put it in the show seamlessly.

JD Vance should not be hosting any shows because he was gauche, fake, wooden, and kept interrupting the guests to tell them that their time was up. He recited the Nicene Creed, and that’s great, but he somehow managed to do it very clumsily and unconvincingly.

This is very symbolic of the entire administration. The plans are great but the execution is weak and embarrassing.

In absolutely any endeavor, the idea is about 15% of the success. The other 85% are all execution. If you can’t execute, it doesn’t matter that you have the most brilliant idea ever. You still fail.

    OT, but this seems like something:

    Datarepublican (a true gem of the internet weaponized autist community), drawing financial connections between State Department funding, Utah, Armed Queers SLC, an Iranian MtF trans activist, and people who go to summer camp in Cuba.

    Just waiting for this whole episode to get weirder, now.

      –and just to be clear: she’s drawing those connections because this organization was one of the ones that seemed to have foreknowledge of the recent event in Utah.

      Our tax dollars at work.

      This person was running an “arm the queers” NGO while ALSO running a gun-control NGO?

      Like was this person *invented* by a paranoid far-right conspiracy nut?

        How do you even publicize the story of a transgender Iranian running arms to trans militants through State Department funded NGOs? People will think one is nuts two sentences into the story.

          My inlaws still watch CNN.

          I can’t imagine explaining any of this to them, and I’m 100% sure they still believe that kirk was a white supremacist, and the shooter was a MAGA. Even though nothing about that scenario makes any sense.

            Yes, MAGAs are often gay living with trans boyfriends and murdering conservative Christian politicians. People will truly believe anything at this point.

        Sounds a lot like the surkov playbook… play both sides of an issue in order to cloud people’s mind and convince them that truth is unknowable.

        He would do things like sponsor an avant garde art show then sponsor orhtodox priests to show up and denounce it (and maybe counterprotesters too).

    Oh, and it looks like there may be a connection to the ICE shooting in TX:
