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

[-] Jumpingspiderman@lemm.ee 24 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 50 points 5 months ago

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.

I wonder how the narrative will change if it turns out it was a victim/relative of his (rape or fraud/failure to pay)

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

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 42 points 5 months ago

That was the CIA, this was a grassroots effort

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 33 points 5 months ago

By a registered Republican, smh. Real leftists don't skip range day.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 22 points 5 months ago

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.

Yeah, but they had multiple people, magic bullets, and CIA backing.

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

[-] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 24 points 5 months ago

Happy birthday!

He missed his chance to blow

I expected nothing and I’m still disappointed

[-] Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 78 points 5 months ago

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

[-] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 35 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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.

[-] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 48 points 5 months ago

78 seems like a pretty full quantity if you ask me.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 27 points 5 months ago

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.

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

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 41 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 29 points 5 months ago

I fucking hate this meta but we literally are at the point where Joe Biden should seriously consider faking his own death.

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

This should be an option for all politicians. You can fake your own death, then you get put in to Witness Protection and can retire to a quiet, peaceful life on a ranch in Wyoming. Quit without having to deal with slack from party leaders.

Assassination attempt on Trump

Also Darwin Núñez played a match about the same time frame, so funnily enough those two comments must have overlapped

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

[-] FMEEE@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 5 months ago

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

[-] probableprotogen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 5 months ago

Mf forgot they were playing on death sentence difficulty

[-] shadowscale@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 5 months ago

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

this has been stuck in my head since hearing about it

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?

[-] Lumisal@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

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".
