Sickening indeed. How can you get that close and fuck up your one job…
It was still a distance shoot at that range, and apparently those are actually harder to hit than media marksmanship makes it seem
There’s a lot of armchair snipers all of a sudden who are saying they can hit a few inch group at 100 yards with their eyes closed.
Given lemmy’s demographic, I’m not sure how many of these people have actually held a rifle, let alone tried to shoot it at +100 yards while under a time crunch and stress.
Not saying what the kid did was right, but criticism of his marksmanship isn’t really fair.
They just feel teased by the botched shot is all, they’ll probably shut up about it once Trump inevitably manages to spectacularly blow any sympathy he might have gained over this, as he is often want to do.
Guy’s gonna hit the circuits like a lightning bolt about this, and inevitably he’s gonna say something that puts it right back into everyone’s head what exactly he’s proposing for his second term.
It’s absolutely wild to think about, it’s the first campaign in history where both candidates survive mostly on a strategy of talking as little as humanly possible and under as controlled circumstances as humanly possible.
The way to win is to actively avoid reminding everyone that the candidate you support is one of the candidates, because of just how much the media has poisoned the well that this very obvious outcome is some unforeseen portent of oncoming doom because gasp two first term presidents are seeking the second term.
Like what in fuck were people expecting was gonna happen, a divine intervention? Joe’s literally said that it’d take that much at minimum to convince him to hand the reins even to Kamala, nevermind how Donny would probably spit in the eye of god himself at the suggestion that anyone but him, even a magically created exact copy of him in a younger body, should take over the campaign.
What a perfect comment to be interpreted in whichever way someone wants to interpret it.
Would’ve been wicked sick if they’d succeeded :D
Too bad about that :-\
Can we please fucking not?
The man deserves to have his wealth dispersed among the needy, and to be put into an isolated care facility while the world quickly forgets about his existence. We don’t need to make his mark on history any larger by making him a martyr.
Golf clap for the man putting two words together in the right order.
These are the guys competing for US presidency? The real leaders of the country are laughing their ass off right now.
😏
I see what you did there
Could you explain it to me? I don’t really know the meaning of “it’s sick” (Is it ill?)
Sick can be used either to refer to something unfortunate (as in ill), or to refer to something really awesome. It’s just casual American slang.
It’s just casual American slang.
We used to use it in Australia in the 2000s too. If something was very awesome, it was “fully sick”.
Sick is said as a bad thing. But in teenager slang it can be used as something cool.
