Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, November 16, 2025

Some ultra-conservative Republicans have veered so far to the right that they are starting to eat their own. MAGA conspiracy theorists have frequently claimed that athletes and celebrities are secretly trans, but now they are transvestigating Charlie Kirk and his widow, Erika Kirk.

... If you're not chronically online, you may be unaware that "transvestigation" is a transphobic conspiracy theory that has gained traction since it first popped up in 2017, where MAGA followers believe that celebrities, athletes, and politicians are secretly transgender. They spend time "investigating" their unfounded, nonsensical theories by examining body language, jawlines, collarbone shape, and using debunked pseudoscience like phrenology to analyze skull shape.

The harmful and absurd conspiracy has led to transvestigations of Olympic boxer Imane Khelif, John Krasinski, Miss Universe Victoria Kjaer Theilvig, French first lady Brigitte Macron, Dylan Mulvaney (who they claim was a trans man before becoming a trans woman), and even the Statue of Liberty " yes, that's a real thing that happened.

But now, instead of focusing on random celebrities or people they perceive to be liberal, the right is transvestigating late conservative political pundit Charlie Kirk and his widow, Erika. ...

Friggin' wow.

I can't make this stuff up, but apparently, the far-right can.


Reminds me of the pizza-gate absurdity, but this one seems worse to me.

Trump wrangled up a mob of poorly educated, resentful mental wobblers ever on the lookout for ... well, whatever boogeymen and boogeywomen you'd care to plop in front of them. Oh, and don't forget the ridiculous "alternative facts" and absurd "doing my own research" yammering from this crew. Of course the cult is devouring its own.

Only Trump could fix that. (Vance and Rubio are too busy arguing over his not yet cold political corpse, and they haven't got the heft anyhoo.). But he's too mired in his own terminal problem: covering up for Jeffrey Epstein.

Rats in a sack.

This is just another version of the Reptilians/Shape Shifter thing. The world is full of both, apparently.

You know what are not conspiracy theories, but THEORIES:

1) Donald Trump faked his assassination attempt.

2) Donald Trump murdered Epstein.

The evidence continues to accumulate, as in the news that Epstein was willing to leverage his knowledge of Trump at the time that he experienced that "perfect storm" of events that caused his death.

The more extreme you get, the more similar the sides act. The extreme left and right have impenetrable purity tests, and they will all eventually turn on their own.

Perhaps if morons like you figured out the difference between republicans and democrats Donnie Disaster wouldn't be president.

You're a stupid joke and the more you post about both sides being the same the more it's apparent you're an idiot.

#6 And just who is this mysterious "extreme left" that wields such power among Democrats?

The obvious "extreme right" sit in Republican positions of power on Capitol Hill, on SCOTUS, and, of course, the White House. Not to mention in red states everywhere.

#7 If i'm such a stupid joke, you should have no problem showing how I'm not correct then.

The far left in America is about 5 congress people trying to tax billions more so we can have universal healthcare in this country.

the far right is trump in charge, giving tax cuts to billionaires, using ICE as the home depot gestapo, murdering fishermen in international waters with no trials or evidence, using the DOJ to punish political enemies ...

if you can BOTH SIDES those facts you ARE a joke.

The far right and left does not have to be people in positions of power. I'm referring to the people that make up the extremes of the parties voting bases.

I'm also not equating what they are trying to get done, just that they each will turn just as rabid with their purity tests. You're inability to find any fault with the left or whataboutism away ones that you can't easily deny is hysterical.

Here's a clue, none of us are on a team, pointing out weaknesses or problem in our systems even if it affects things we may feel close to should be a good thing. Instead you treat it like keeping score and have to make sure your side wins.

The fact that you get so apoplectic if I suggest that the left and right extreme wings have ridiculous purity test and will eventually turn on their own proves who the joke IS here.

KXRW,

You're the Joke.

You're the idiot who looks at what the republicans are currently doing to America and can't figure out how democrats wouldn't be.

You're a transphobe. That's it.

You abandoned the democrats because they're fighting for civil rights for everyone.

You liking Trump? He's what America is saddled with because stupid idiots like you couldn't bare voting for the democratic nominee because you ate up all the transphobia and xenophobic you were fed.

All the misery America is dealing with is because of idiots like you who don't understand the entire Republican Party is far right.

Is this the first Charlie Kirk assassination "related" thread? The ongoing Owens vs TPUSA saga is fascinating.

Lance Twig wearing pajamas with ears is transexual to MAGA and they believe children were crapping in litter boxes.

Sad how the real topics are ignored, such as members of TPUSA organized hiding, lying and spying, not just Epstein.

The least informed and most insulated creatures gifted with the power to vote. "Idiocracy is made of people!"

Cool theory!
Anyway, was this killer extreme right or extreme left, or is the whole reason you're talking to avoid answering that question?

You're probably too much of a ----- to say if he's extreme right or extreme left.
