    All the mass casualty events we have to suffer and here we have a psychopath who can’t aim. Such a shame.

    When he yells “fight”, what does he mean to fight for? Fight against freedom? I wonder the same thing when it comes to Qbert and Empty-G. Fight? What are they fighting for, exactly? More tax cuts for billionaires? More special privileges for xtians?

    I was told today that someone we know is going to vote for donnie - because “economy”. What. The. Actual. Fuck. They said that the economy was better under donnie. I just can’t even. And this is someone that will be a target under fascist rule.

      Well that certainly blows up any argument it was staged. You don’t fake shoot a real bullet past your fake targets head.

    Holy shit, he had blood on his ear? If that’s true, he was about a foot away from assassination. That’s wild.

    Edit: saw a picture of him and he was def hit in the ear. We won’t hear the end of this for a long time. “Radical democrats are so scared that I’m going to win” etc

    Edit 2: let’s do count of “how many push notifications does the news junkie get?” I’m at 3 4 7 so far. Edit: it’s a lot more than 7 but I’m done counting

    You ever feel like you live in some sort of Murphy’s Law parallel universe, where the worst possible outcome of every major event happens?

    Turns out, calling out for violence over and over again or continuously calling for the blood of your opponents, threatening with imprisonment and a literal dictatorship, will be answered with violence. I am sooooooo shocked!

    Get fucked. Hope the next marksman is luckier.

    Are we placing bets on this being entirely staged?

    Edit: Clearly, given the evidence now, that’s a bet I would have lost.

    Tecumseh’s curse is coming back.

    It stumbled in 1980, as Reagan was shot, but survived. George W Bush wasn’t affected. Now Trump has been shot, but survived.

    It’s gonna kill whoever is president in 2040.

    Biden’s official statement:

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/07/13/statement-from-president-joe-biden-6/

    He’s in a video conference now.

    "I have been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania.

    I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information.

    Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There’s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it."
