This would have been unfathomable under any president before 2016.

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 4 weeks ago

Is it any surprise he denies help to a state that voted for kamala in 2024?

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 4 points 4 weeks ago

Insulting that we have always taken care of our neighbors, giving them our tax dollars in hurricanes, and our hospitals during the pandemic, but now they feel that they don't need to return the favor. We're all Americans. Will you really abandon us that quickly?

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 weeks ago

I prefer my tax dollars to not be turned into hurricanes, please. Not even the beverage, frankly.

[-] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

What's that like 8 bucks for 40 ounces of malt liquor? The government can't afford to not take that deal.

It's SOP for the new FEMA, and that's about it, really. Better than blankets, apparently. Too bad being homeless just became illegal, and grounds for "special facility" internment. Sucks about your house, fam, and your bank accounts. Insurance says "get fucked, lol", btw. Welcome to Alligator Auschwitz, citizens. 😶🤷🏼‍♂️

he also denied huckabee sanders state, arkansas it took months, or longer to finally get aid.

[-] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 13 points 4 weeks ago

It sure sucks that the kid in PA was such a shit shot.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago

I'm still not convinced it wasn't faked

[-] ksigley@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago

The bullet missed. The injury to his ear was from the secret service agent slamming against his head as he ducked down. Replay footage of the event confirmed.

But i doubt it was staged. It was a real assassination attempt. Maybe the next one will go better. Thoughts and prayers.

[-] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

You see that video of someone on Trump's staff ushering in photographers to get a better shot less than 5 seconds after Trump was "hit"?

Crazy that in that moment of totally unprepared chaos, his first thought wasn't personal safety, or safety for the president, but rather moving journalists into an exposed area in an active shooter zone for a better angle of Trump posing.

Crazy how we still know almost nothing about the shooter, nor is anyone really calling to find out.

Crazy how the Secret Service watched the shooter crawl across the roof, while people in the crowd shouted and pointed at him, but didn't take any kind of shot until after he opened fire.

Now, was it a real assassination attempt? Yea, probably. But there's enough weird stuff that I can see why people question it.

[-] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think that's how that happened. It was local PD that was informed. There was a fuck up in their communication with the SS.

Crazy how we still know almost nothing about the shooter, nor is anyone really calling to find out.

We know enough that neither side can use him as a political tool, so people care less.

[-] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago

It was staged..no way would be he secret service let him stand up and photo op without knowing the area wa clear - which they did not.

[-] Shacktastic@lemy.lol 1 points 3 weeks ago

The blood might also have come from scraping the back of his hand against the agent's pistol when he first ducked down. Either way, superficial injury and the bullet was likely way off based on the angles.

[-] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago

Are we sure the real target wasn’t the guy who actually got shot?

[-] ksigley@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

I'd laugh, if this was a jest. But I remember reading it was a firefighter. Even if they were diet fascist, the loss of innocent life is heartbreaking.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

There are no innocent people at a Nazi rally.

[-] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

I said on day 1 this is some trump stage drama

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 weeks ago

I wish he'd hit too, but I don't think it's fair to call him a shit shot. All things considered, he almost fucking pulled it off.

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Sucked MUCH more to hear the entire democratic party wring their hands and come out immediately with statements about how "political violence is unacceptable under any circumstances."

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 12 points 4 weeks ago

Sorry Maryland, too busy building gulags.

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago

And trying to hide the fact that convicted felon and adjudicated rapist Donald Trump trafficked and raped children.

[-] ZetaLightning94@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago

While denying MD, he is also denying his supporters in MD. Both of those counties are Trumpers

[-] CluckN@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago

Does he need those supporters? I know midterms are coming up but I feel like the majority of his fan base is ride or die.

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

In this case it seems like die

[-] boaratio@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Andy Harris needs those supporters.

[-] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

And does he need supporters in general? I don't think elections are going to be exactly real going forward.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 3 weeks ago

nope, none at all, he said he doesnt need them anymore after they voted for him.

[-] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 10 points 4 weeks ago

You are on your own now in America.

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 4 weeks ago

Just like last time when he caused over a million excess deaths and committed literal acts of piracy against blue states trying to get PPE.

[-] johncandy1812@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 weeks ago

"If you don't test for it, you won't get so many cases."

He said this during covid. This was his logic. I don't think he's gotten smarter since the last time. Not sure his handlers are much smarter themselves.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

When a critical mass of americans realize how many people don't hate them, aren't resentful violent cunts, and would happily work together with them to make nice things for everybody, that'll be good news.

Sooner the better.

[-] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 8 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Why is it okay for these traitors to ~~run~~ destroy america?

[-] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

It's not dude

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 7 points 4 weeks ago

The second civil war in the US has begun, and this is how the battles look.

[-] massacre@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

God damn, I hate how you're not wrong....

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 5 points 4 weeks ago

Maryland Puerto Rico? Nah! I like States that don't inundate annually.... Looking at you Flo, Lou and Texy Texas! Big states, crying. All crying came to me asking for help. They would say things to me like Mr. Orangeousness, could you please save our children. I send refrigerators to save the children, but nah! Look, ICE cream is good! It's a good success thing. Success in the refrigerator. Saved, all saved. Crying, big big States. And so I don't understand, wanna save children? Here's the fridge! Confusing! Bigly confusing!

Anyway.

[-] Frjttr@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 weeks ago

He’s there to split the states. Divide et impera.
