YOU HAD ONE RULE

People aren't seeing this for the real precursor it is. People are getting emboldened now. There will be more events like this.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you. Also the SS did not do their job. Before the attempt on Trump, people in the crowd were pointing out that guy in camouflage on the roof of that building, yet the secret service/law enforcement did not respond. And the counter sniper waited until the perp took numerous shots to respond.
- I forgot that SS also stood for Secret Service...
- USSS.
  
  The acronym is USSS.
  
  Some of his detail might wish they were SS but we're not there... Yet.
- Was just talking to my Dad about this, he was saying from what he heard (he watches more news than I do) the local law enforcement basically said, "Well, he was outside the perimeter, so there wasn't really anything we could do," as their explanation for how it happened.
  
  It's going to be interesting to see this whole investigation play out and what comes up for motives and such.
- Yeah, weird how a registered Republican sniper was given all the time in the world to get into a sniper nest with eyewitnesses but was then shot to death immediately after firing.
I wonder how the narrative will change if it turns out it was a victim/relative of his (rape or fraud/failure to pay)
I think you're right. I think this is going to cause an increase on events like this for sure. Trumps base is going to want to send a message.

Even assassins are enshittified these days smh my head. Back in the day, JFK got shot in a moving car.

That was the CIA, this was a grassroots effort
- By a registered Republican, smh. Real leftists don't skip range day.
- I thought JFK was grassy effort...
Idk man, I have it on good authority that JFK's head just did that all on its own.
- Lies!
- Back, and to the left.
  Back, and to the left.
Yeah, but they had multiple people, magic bullets, and CIA backing.
- Actually I'm pretty sure this is what happened.
  
  Two bullets hit JFK. Definitely different bullets. First one went through his neck and into the guy in front of him.
  
  Second bullet demolished his skull.
  
  What I think happened, or the theory I heard that makes sense. Was a 50 cal mounted to the car in front of him. In the chaos it lurched and the person had poor finger discipline and blasted JFK almost point blank

Today is my birthday. Waking up to "Trump dead" headlines would be absolutely killer. What I got was "Trump gets ear pierced on stage".

Happy birthday!

He missed his chance to blow

I expected nothing and I’m still disappointed

This happened today and this image already looks like it's been reposted for over a decade

The tags are probably sports related. It likely HAS been reposted for decades.

I'm glad he survived. His life should be full in quantity and empty of quality.

78 seems like a pretty full quantity if you ask me.
but also because him dying doesn't solve the problem. people forget that he's actually unpopular. him getting replaced would benefit the party. and the real problem is the entire fascist party. their agenda won't change with TFG dying.
- Huh? Yeah, he's unpopular but voter turnout is such arse, that there is rarely a blowout capable of preventing electors from playing silly buggers with counts.
  
  If he's dead, who inherits his mantle and has a likely shot at getting enough popular votes that US fascists can pretend they won but were narrowly cheated?
- Long term it would help the party. In the short term it would hurt them. I expect a LOT of infighting is gonna happen once Trump is gone.
- No No you’re getting it wrong, Trump is the thing that gives that whole fascist movement its structure. Taking him out of the game is akin to turning the light on in a room full of cockroaches
- Yeah, Trump is a stupid target and this is bad timing. Now if someone had gone after the Supreme Court a year or three ago, that would've been a good thing. Even now it might still be. But Trump? Terrible choice of targets. He's...his relevance has already happened. It's too late for his death to be positive in any significant way.
  
  Hell, I suspect that it might boost the Republican candidate, whoever is selected to replace him, unless they wind up having a really nasty fight where various supporters get extremely entrenched against each other. But that's not likely - Republicans are very tribalist, once they select a candidate, most of them are going to support him, regardless of how badly they were speaking of him five minutes ago when they were in full support of his opponent.
- Jesus fucking Christ, you people insist everything would be better for the bad guys.
Yeah, but imagine if they retaliate and assassinate Biden? Wouldn't that be... interesting.

I'm considering what the impact would be on the election if it were Harris running, for example
- Biden has a clear successor. Trump doesn't. The assassination of a head of state would draw sympathy worldwide. The state funeral would be huge. Right now, Trump is still just some politician running for office.
- Nobody cares about Biden. Especially now. It is, technically, a Republican advantage if Biden stays in the race as the official Democrat candidate.
He's always enjoyed that. He's clearly not a person of quality. Fuck the orange demon
Yeah he should just rot and die alone in prison where he belongs.

I love that none of us are pretending Trump's a good person just because someone tried to kill him.

Trump is an Asshole and this won't change under any circumstance. And this pice of shit Musk who's now saying "Oh No now let's vote all for Trump because he got shot" just makes new excuses to openly support Trump but don't get hated as much for it

Can someone fill in whats happened?

Assassination attempt on Trump
- That's not what we need right now, damn.
- Also Darwin Núñez played a match about the same time frame, so funnily enough those two comments must have overlapped
Someone tried to kill Donald Trump.

Mf forgot they were playing on death sentence difficulty

they fired, and they missed. they fired again, missed again.

this has been stuck in my head since hearing about it

Went to a bar, took a shot. I myssed.
But did they have themselves a popsicle?
- he woke up later with a popsicle stick in his mouth

If I understood the news correctly, the shooter was actually listed as "Republican". Do you actually expect such a person to get something that important right?

Gotta say, a lot of people here talking a lot of shit about someone who actually had the balls to at least try to do something direct considering none of y'all have taken a shot at it yourselves in Minecraft.

You can't complain about someone failing to do your personal final fantasy when they at least tried to achieve what you haven't.

I'm certain some of you legitimately can't for personal reasons, but if you can and you're not doing it either, you can't complain that they missed skibbity.

After all, as Dr. Doofinshmirtz once said, "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take".

I shared my opinion on this matter.

Reddit banned me.

What was your opinion?
- Lemmy banned them too

I'm just sad that the shooter was killed.

Look, I don't agree with their methods, but they've got grit. I like that.

It sucks that they were ultimately unsuccessful, but personally, watching secret service fumble about trying to shield Trump while he pumped his first in the air was pretty hilarious. He was just shot, and instead of being concerned for his own safety, he's like "hell yeah, 'murrika!".

I'll add that my sympathies go out to the victim's that actually were shot, not just grazed. They were not the intended target, just caught in the line of fire. Whether Republican or Democrat, losing your life simply because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, sucks. Condolences to anyone who lost someone in the event.
