This whole thread might as well be a parody of what all the halfwit, ignorant, wholly unserious type of received-talking-point-parroting persons found in our pathetic silly industry would say, but this post is just the chef's kiss!

Trump killed Charlie Kirk. Keep it up everybody.

CD1 thinks that Republicans are all over the Epstein files and the Democrats had four years to release them and didn’t just because lol. It definitely had nothing to do with them being all over them too, eh?

And I’m not a republican, for the record.

Yes, the guy wears his opinion on his sleeve, as well as his company.

But he’s wondering why agencies are keeping silent. Agencies are businesses. Giving opinions on politics is a surefire way to destroy a solid chunk of your client base. Not only because some of the clients may disagree with the political position, but also because the agency has now imposed its beliefs onto their clients’ brands without permission, which could spiral into an expensive PR nightmare.

So yeah, this is why ad agencies tend to be quiet.

You shouldn’t condemn Charlie Kirk’s expression of love and no one is doing that. Charlie Kirk is being condemned for his mandates of how to love someone else legally, a role the government should not be suppressing. (That is a traditionally conservative position by the way.)

He’s also being condemned for fact-absent and openly racist statements about black women. On paper, no sitting Supreme Court justice except for maybe Roberts was more qualified at the time of admission than Kentanji Brown Jackson.

I guess we can also say she is one of 7 other justices who hasn’t committed sexual assault. That shouldn’t be a qualification, but I guess it is.
