My friends and I agree that boredom is the only appropriate response. We were over it within an hour
Holy shit this is fucking grim
It's just "don't feed the trolls" logic as applied to narcissistic politicians
I mean, you were right the first time. Trump is a troll in a man suit.
Nah, what's grim is that the bullet missed his brain. Granted, it's a tiny target, but still..
Shame he didn't have a scandal on that stage. They would have stopped taking about it within the day.
To be fair, an assassination attempt like this hasn't happened within the lifetime of many Lemmyists. Trump has a scandal every other week.
Yeah, just ask Shinzo Abe
That doesn't quite have the same level of drama as a sniper on the rooftop though.
I dunno, that cobbled together Fallout 4 pipe gun was pretty wild.
And the 2016 assassination attempt on little known US presidential candidate Donald Trump...
Huh.
If I ever heard about that, I don't remember it. It really seems so mild in comparison to everything else.
Also, he didn't shoot at Trump, so it is different.
But it's true there hasn't been another credible attempt on a US president like this since Reagan.
Not on a US president maybe
That is what I meant, yes.
There's only so many ways to tell a very simple story.
Yet you needed to make a meme to think it through
Yeah totally applies
Let's go back to talking about how Biden's too old for a second term.
Duuude Biden is OOOOOLLLLDDD. Old people can't be president. I'm sure I'll eventually be living in a cardboard box if Biden loses but he's just so OOOOOOOOLLLLLDDDD and we can't have that!!!11!!!1!!1!1 /s
All the Dems are freaking out over this, but its the only news item capable of dethroning "Biden Old!" headlines that were pummeling them since the debate.
It gives them some breathing room to strategise out of the spotlight, which might be what their comms blackout is really about - I don't believe it's truly out of respect for Trump, I mean come on. They're politicians and he's... Trump. That is of course assuming they're actually serious about winning, which they don't really seem to be if I'm honest.
Or we can talk about that AND the fact that the world would have been a better place if Crooks had been a better shot 🤷
Except Biden isn't too old, he's too cognitively diminished. For example, Bernie is about a year older and showing no symptoms of cognitive decline.
Granted, Bernie was an elite cross country runner in his youth and still goes for a run every day, so that definitely helps..
Yet how many people know Trump's mentor was a gay mafia lawyer, or that Biden has had a life long struggle with a speech impediment?
The media doesn't cover these things as much as they should.
