lol he was shot at again, this time while he was playing golf.
It'd be really funny if he won and then implemented strict gun control.
Imagine if somebody actually shoots at Trump and says "I did it for Taylor."
How did I not know that Hinckley is not only free but also has a YouTube channel lmao
Now he just needs to say something about a K-Pop artist
Just gonna echo what JD vance said about school shootings... "This is just a fact of life"
Yeah, I can see presidential assassinations becoming the preferred outlet for misanthropic rage for those who don’t like the sound of children screaming.
I've never thought about it, but a golf course really is a great environment for that sort of thing...
- Get to lug around a bag full of long cylindrical metal objects, with covers on them
- Probably some wooded area
- Person likely to stand alone and focus on the ground for extended times
- No one notices if you're in there for like 12 hours
- Very quiet, good for focus
- Reduce popularity of a terrible activity (golf)
No one notices if you're in there for like 12 hours
I dunno about this one, I don't look like an 80 year old war criminal or billionaire I don't think they let just anyone loiter
What if Trump getting shot at just becomes his thing, like how Bolsonaro's thing is being hospitalized
lol now every firework and car backfiring in 5km of him is a national incident
News from the future
"Trump was uninjured after Secret Service agents pushed him to the ground for safety after a loud 'explosions' were heard." Sometime later "It has been determined that children were setting off fireworks in the vicinity..." And they interview some MAGA doofus. "They say it was fireworks like bottle rockets. I know what I heard. It wasn't fffffffttt it was fffffffgrtt. It was Iran."
There was an incident in Times Square a day or two after a public mass shooting. Some guy’s motorcycle backfired and it caused everyone in the area the run the opposite direction. CCTV captured everything and the place was empty afterwards
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
What happens when they're just for show of power not being useful
It really shows that the fear of armed fascists in the US is a bit overblown. The days of the White League taking over government buildings is long gone and instead you get whatever this is.
I wouldn't say that; and no disrespect to you, but I think it's irresponsible and dangerous to allow this notion to be pushed, in the sense of undermining vigilance. The US objectively has the most, and the largest, organized armed fascist militias in the world. Most of them just aren't adventurist dipshits. (Also this guy seems to be a radical neolib rather than a political fascist, which is honestly very funny.)
But just as there are adventurist provocateur dipshits on the left, as well as shrewd Marxists who denounce individual acts of violence or terror as adventurism that only alienates the public from us and gives an excuse and support for hyper-violent suppression of the left by the state; there are also adventurist provocateur dipshits on the far right, as well as shrewd fascists who denounce individual acts of violence and terror for the same, and are instead quietly training and movement-building; keeping their activities such that half the people in their life and at their jobs don't even know they're murderous racists. For every group of neo-nazi oo-rah chestbeaters you see on the street, and every lone-worm mass-shooter, there are 100 groups and 1000s of shrewd fascists, quietly growing their base, who are infinitely more dangerous. And it's worth holding that in mind.
Fascists in America are more worried about getting a Rick and Morty wrap for their AR-15 than learning to shoot.
unbearably funny to me how the first assassination came with a sick photo and bump in the polls and now no one (aside from hogs) gives a fuck if it happens again lmfao
How can two gunmen both fail.
Please go to the range and practice before you do adventurism people. Make sure to add in some stress practice because when it comes to actual action your body is going to going into stress hyperdrive.
I think a lot of people are just underestimating how hard it is to shoot a gun.
This guy apparently was taking pot shots from several holes away.Idk i went shooting once and it was easy for me, i guess i just continue to be built different
I think most people severely underestimate it, yeah. I was watching an anime with a British friend the other day, and he referred to an untrained civilian whiffing several close range shots with a pistol as "plot armor" on the part of the character being shot at. And I was just like "buddy you have no idea how hard that shit is" lol I almost went into a rant about how I have missed shots at exactly that range against a bigger target while under no stress and bracing the pistol against a solid object
trump ain't walking around the back nine even with his cart, way too far smh
How can two gunmen both fail.
Go look at how poorly the US did in the Olympics. The US is a spray and pray nation lol
secret service noticed him before trump got close. I mean he was in range where if he had a clear shot he could maybe have gotten trump, but he was presumably waiting for trump to come closer when the SS started firing at him.
All these unsuccessful attempts will probably just make him more vicious if he wins.
My sibling in Marx, he is drier then the surface of Mars. If getting a once in a life time, world historical moment out of the last shooting didn't activate Pinnochet mode nothing will.
He seemed really shaken by the assassination attempt, some staffer said he obsessed over it to the point of rewatching the video of it on loop, so if people keep popping off around him he might seriously break down.
Would someone like Nikki Hayley have a stronger chance at winning than Trump?
Imagine if he dropped out and Repubs were stuck with JD! LOL
it'd be quite the clusterfuck tbh
I'd love to see the state level politics of that play out
Trump would step down, leaving Vance as the nominee, who would them nominate a new VP. JD then steps down, leaving JD's pick as the new nominee who chooses the new VP.
That's true, JD could show character and sound judgement by voluntarily removing himself from the top of a presidential ticket. I didn't even consider that as a possibility for some reason
The GOP would show Jorkin Dapenis Vance a picture of his house
I knew the outdoor rally shooter was a chud from jump. Chuds go for the head, leftists know to aim for center of mass.
I think his supporters will just start popping one off in his vicinity to try and boost his numbers.
Only need to get lucky once
