Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

He's 21 years old & also he's gotten a lot of fame. We can't expect lots of great wisdom from him.

He's the Ryan Lochte of whatever it is he does. Except I guess Lochte was good at something.

I'm not going to click on any articles featuring him but I assume he's grifting the right. He'd be stupid not to.

I am on the right, and yes, he's right-grifty AF. Always has been. I'm sure my opinions on KR wouldn't be received well on Lemmy (not that I care too much), but we're probably in agreement here: ....why is this little boy relevant? 🤨 Like why should he be a 'thing', years later? He shot some people, that's it. So what's the formula here? Go to rally filled with violent criminals while open carrying, shoot people, ??????, profit? Not a KR fan by any means.

I was watching some YouTubers & KR was there for some reason, and they were waiting in anticipation "to see which college he'd choose!! 😍" they had 2 hats & he was going to grab one, put one on & I'm just like GUYS...I. Do. Not. Care. I just don't care. ¯\(°_o)/¯ It was SO strange watching him turn into a celebrity.

Yea, it makes no sense to keep putting the spotlight on him. His trial is done and over with. Regardless of which side of it you're on. If anything it helps him when people try to dunk on him for shit he says because more are just going to come out to support him.
