This was no memorial or anything to remember the passing of someone. It was another Trump hate rally with all of the usual suspects and topics. But we were treat it like MLK had passed and what a wonderful person he was. He was not and no matter how much they try gaslighting us.

SHOCKING that this fake memorial for a truly horrible person was allll over the news. I had to stop watching CNN years ago when they just started showing trump 24/7... thus normalizing his disgusting views and behaviour. Americans need to do EVERY SINGLE THING THEY CAN THINK OF EACH AND EVERY DAY to save their country... or there may never be any coming back from this. The world knows USA is a dictatorship now. Horrifying !

Back in the 60's in the South you could find a KKK church by how people talked about what good funerals the pastor gave. And they hate Jews more than they hate blacks, actually they just hate everybody.

I only saw clips and as a Believer it was offensive. True Christians we should continue to pray for their souls. Erika actually said something True but in the wrong context,"Forgive them for what they do not know". They don't know how far off the path they are.

Same here. This is the ONLY coverage of it I have read/watched. Of course it was a shit show of Trump, his corrupt regime, and the red hat nut jobs! No thanks, not interested. I feel so bad for his wife and children. Regardless of what he preached, nobody deserves to die that way. Nobody should loose loved ones to violence, EVER! If there was a chance there would have been true mourning, a call for unity and grace, I would have watched. It turned out just exactly as we knew it would.

There’s also Matt 15: 8-9 about people honoring Jesus with their lips, but their hearts are far from Him. I often wonder about their Pastors, but then again, the devil is in charge of a lot of their so-called churches, so hate is be expected.

People in cults actually don't know exactly how far off the path they are. Not until there's a crack in the brainwashing, and then it might start to happen.

Unfortunately religion is a great vehicle to base a cult on, though there are other possibilities, from politics to sports. So yeah, religion gets abused a great deal.

Don't care. Talk less, do more and stop insisting it's because you've chosen a god. Why would I trust that impulse from you when it's not based on solidarity at all but in religious sentiment. That literally makes you're principles moving goalposts dependent on whether you hear an emotionally stirring enough speech.

Wow....that was absolutely unnecessary and unwarranted. I'm being respectful to you a stranger and yet you lash out like MAGA does. Don't you even start to blame me for pain that was done to you.

I didn't watch it either,

Charlie Kirk's Christianity is a blasphemy!

He used the bible as a platform for hate and intolerance, he's not going to heaven, that's for sure

Why should I waste prayers on a blaspheming peddler of hate, racism, anti-Semitism and bigotry.

No thanks .

Christian Nationalism / Democracy is the devil's church by any other name.

Yes! We know you won’t apologize. There is nothing to apologize for. Kirk preached hatred. We all must continue to push back against the lies that Charlie Kirk was “ just a free speech guy.” He spread lots of hate and encouraged his people to harass professors and others that did not believe in his positions. That is not “being an advocate of free speech.”

I'm from Australia and my heart goes out to everyone in the Miedas Touch Network community.

Like so many, I've been watching from afar with deep concern and solidarity.

Over these past months, I've found myself thinking "surely things can't get more challenging than this" - first six months ago, then four months ago, and again just two months back. Yet here we are, and the situation seems to grow more complex and overwhelming with each passing day.

What strikes me most is the incredible resilience I see in Americans who are navigating this difficult reality every single day. The strength, courage, and determination you're showing in the face of such uncertainty is truly remarkable. It can't be easy to wake up each morning not knowing what new challenges the day might bring, yet you continue to show up, support one another, and work toward something better.

Please know that people around the world - including here in Australia - are thinking of you, standing with you in spirit, and deeply admiring your perseverance.

Your voices matter, your experiences matter, and your efforts to stay informed and engaged make a real difference, even when it might not feel that way.

Sending love and support from across the Pacific. You're not alone in this.

This, right here, is a summary of the essence of the true American spirit, facing down intense challenges as a nation that divide us, and yet we're not going down or out for anything, and it came from an Australian. We will get through this, and while our nation will certainly be forever changed, we will survive.

A rapture! They believe they will be raptured? Are you kidding me? No. They will be raptured to hell. Never to heaven. Jesus promoted love and to spread love to everyone. This is so wrong. How did this get so twisted? I am so disgusted. Never never never equate what these demonic MAGA cultists are doing to true Christians. True Christians want peace and love and to help the poor, the widowed, the afflicted, the children. True Christians spread love and hope. They never once talk about hate. I will continue to spread the love of Jesus and help those in need. That is my calling. I will spread the true calling of Jesus.
