  A used book store is refusing to sell books by a very popular author because he made comments about asshole karma? Didn’t Steve already get paid when the books were bought the first time? If there are less used books being sold won’t more people buy new books, which earn him more $?

    They might have a contract with their distributor that requires them to buy back unused stock.

    He falsely claim that Charlie wanted to kill gay people. Which to be fair if true kind makes it understand able why a person would be pro die charlie or even kill him. I personally do not at all think that would justify killing the guy. We need to be able to debate morals. That means even letting people having stances even as crazy like genocide or nonconsenting vore. We figure out that they are wrong by debate and then quickly reject them. But it is kind of understandable that one would want to kill someone wanting to kill others. And it is a off putting to cerebrate someone that was pro murder.

    The problem was that was not Charlie…

    Charlie did think being gay was sinful (which I disagree, I love my ghost lesbian porn ) but he welcomed Gays into the right and had Gay Friends. rumble.com/v5ggax9-0926-clip-6-charlie-kirk.html?…

    There been gay outlets taking out a gay quote out of context. Basically some one was using the Christ book to cherry pick quotes to ague for a gay pride or something. Charlie responding by doing the same, but justify killing gays instead, to mock her gay agreement.

    Any how Steve thought that was true, then people correct him a bit harshly. x.com/StephenKing/status/1966484038648021264 x.com/StephenKing/status/1966474125616013664 x.com/RubinReport/status/1966299918202540515
