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?
Turn off the Large Hadron Collider. All this shit started back when they turned it on 😉
Well, which circle of hell are you currently on? We need to ascertain that before you can formally appeal.

If only Trump had a gun, this wouldn’t have happen-
Oh wait… he’s a felon, so he can’t have a gun- but can run for president. This is America now.
He was surrounded by a lot of highly trained good guys with plenty of guns, the Secret Service, and even they couldn’t stop the bad guy, only respond to him.
(I’m paraphrasing from the second season premiere of The West Wing, but the writers were dead on 24 years ago.)
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
He put his hand up to his ear before he went down and you can see blood on his face when Secret Service took him away. Whoever it was missed him by that much.
And yet, nobody in the crowd behind him was hit? That’s… really hard to believe.
There was blood in the crowd supposedly. Maybe a ricocheted bullet but it’ll be a while until we have reliable info
Edit: 2 dead so far
Best photo I could find, caution, blood.
Nobody in the crowd was hit with anything it seemed, so I don’t think he was shot. If anything, the secret service takedown probably did whatever it was. He’s never going to stfu about this. Wouldn’t be surprised if this was staged.
He was bleeding before secret service got to him. The video is literally linked for you by OP.
did the attenders draw their guns and stop the assasin?
just saw the news at it was kinda wierd. did not seem like anyone behind him got hit and he was hit in the ear and pumped his fist after ward. They said metal detectors are used so sounds like a sniper type thing. I sorta think they likely would figure out the origin. I wonder if they have him or are after them but don’t want to update yet.
It seems odd that a bullet might have grazed his ear yet not shot anyone or anything behind him. Also, the picture of his bloodied ear and the splatter make it look like the shot came from behind him.
This is just going to further guarantee his victory. It’s fucking over. This country is done.
Shit’s pretty unpredictable. What happens if a MAGAt retaliates and whacks Biden?
this is a terrible tragedy but we need to continue to work towards unity in the country so nothing will be done
That’s my gut reaction too. It’s done. That fucking photo where Trump stood up and did the fist pump with the blood on his face and the American flag in the background:
There’s no beating that. That’s literally like a movie poster. Whether Biden stays or goes, I really don’t think it matters now.
Also as an aside, I don’t mean this as a compliment to Trump. I think he’s a raging piece of shit and I hope he loses. But it’s elections are all about perception and I really don’t see Biden doing anything to top this.
C’mon dude, just post your demoralizing articles and give it a rest - there is no need to further betray your intent with additional words.
From abroad, for the love of everything please go vote. Everything in the US seems to leak out and global warming is well, global.
My vote is irrelevant. I live in a deep blue stronghold. Nothing I can personally do is going to change what is coming, and the path that we are on. It is time to prepare for the worst.
Ah yes, I wanted to vote blue, but now that the felon’s ear got shot, I’ll vote for the fashists.
This is US politics and it makes sense.
No, it’s more like:
“I wasn’t going to vote because I don’t care about or follow politics. Now I see they are trying to kill this guy so I am going to vote for him because clearly the powers that be want him gone. So, he must be doing something to fight the system like JFK.”
Nobody who was going to vote Dem is changing their vote. It’s all the people who weren’t going to vote that now will because they either think he is badass for surviving an assassination attempt, or because of the web of new conspiracy narratives that are sure to be born from this that further serve to frame Trump as the savior of the common man from the clutches of the evil deep state.
I am going to vote for him because clearly the powers that be want him gone.
A 20 year old kid is “the powers that be”? LOL. Maybe they will think instead “Wow Trump must be a huge dick if people hate him so much they are trying to kill him”.
he is badass for surviving an assassination attempt
He didn’t look like a badass at all. He looked like someone who had been bloodied because he was so deeply hated.
Sounds pretty dramatic. With the new cycle the way it is, it will be forgotten in a month.
