Somewhere Howard Dean is wondering how the fuck he was too unhinged to be electable in the face of daily insanity from the orange.
This post is how I found out about this 2nd attempt.
Don’t you underestimate the seriousness of this. If there is a power for him to be afraid of it’s the fukin swifties.
From now on he isn’t safe anywhere.
Swifties don’t play.
I mean, if you have participated in the plane discourse, you’ve probably learned that Swifties stop at nothing.
Don’t. Fuck. With. Swift.
That was just a warning.
J/K, IDK 😛
Just proves your everyday john doe doesnt know how to use that shiny new ak47 he just bought. Strike two as of now
Yeah but their aim was even worse than the other idiot. These nutjobs need to get their shit together; I’ve been successfully assassinated in political video games for a fraction of what the Orange Idiot’s done to real people.
Did the guy even fire shots? From what I heard he was just in the area and carrying a firearm.

It seems like the only shots that were fired were from the secret service.
Calm down guys! He’s not a Kennedy!
Look up how many attempts Hitler survived, ridiculous.
The 42 attempts at assassinating Hitler ain’t nothing to sneeze at but Fidel Castro would like a word. The CIA attempted to assassinate him 638 times.
How can this NOT mean that all CIA agents are like Mr. Magoo?
How do you fail at a singular task more than 600 times and still have the world think you’re some fearsome spy force?
“Well, sure, he was knocked out 638 times, but those 2 decision victories sure were something… Greatest boxer of all-time!”
It makes sense if you think of them as extremely well-funded frat boys with a free pass to break laws.
They just kind of do shit, and if it doesn’t work they keep trying until something sticks or they run out of steam. They get killed all the time.
It’s still scary, but just a lot less cool.
The reason we think of them as hypercompetent masters of espionage is because that makes better movies, and also because the US government funds movies that make them look good.
To be fair, most of the CIA was on an awful lot of LSD around that time.
please name the game.
Second! Sounds like fun
Ya can do it in Kenshi, assassins creed, and Crusader Kings. Actually in Kenshi and CK ya can go far far worse than simple assassinations, I am the Cuck King all thine babies are mine!
Crusader Kings recently finally got its claws into me. Fun fact: the game DOES have a moral compass of sorts, because eventually, your incestuous off-spring can be too mentally handicapped to have further children with.
So it’s not all bad.
Thats why you make a caset branch or four you can pull from.
I might be misremembering but Old Wolrd has something similar too, you can piss off the wrong child and they assassinate you
So fucking crazy that anyone will repeat something when the only source is “According to the Trump campaign”
If Satan’s asshole had a face
i hate this image
Imagine urinals in this shape.
I’d rather not.
So I guess you could say the response was… swift
Man, Taylor Swift responded with bullets!
Second attempt just doesn’t hit the same
No no, the attempt was to hit theother ear. Symmetry.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement, “There is no place in this country for political violence of any kind.”
Unless it is against the people, minorities, poor countries, or whistleblowers.
Or natives
But inciting violence politically is, judging by recent events, absolutely fine.
*As long as it’s Donald Trump inciting aforementioned violence
*And as long as it’s violence on his former VP and the members of the Senate who will bend a knee to him no matter what
I guess there is a place for violence in Gaza then.
No, no, no, it only counts as violence when it’s punching up! Bombing children and beating the people who say you shouldn’t do that is a totally different thing!
Democrats: “We don’t count that as political violence, because political violence is between people, and we don’t count Gazans as people”
How do you think Republicans feel about Palestinians?
I don’t think Republicans feel. They approximate the social rituals that allow them access to society (and its benefits) in the same way high functioning sociopaths do, more or less.
I think it’s not relevant.
All violence is political violence.
And religion is politics or a form of control also.
Heck, in the US I’d almost say all politics is political violence. It seems that anytime you advocate for nonviolence here you’re called naive at best, murdered at worst. Plus, our whole society was built in blood.
How convenient when he’s slipping in the polls and had a pretty bad week last week…
How. Convenient.
I refuse to believe a person who otherwise wouldn’t vote for Trump will vote for Trump because he was shot at.
I think it’s to rule the news cycle, like that conspiracy loony etc. Anything to make forget about the crazily bad debate he did.
Not saying he invented this “heard gunshots” himself, but that is how it’s useful.
I don’t think the campaigns are about converting people, but more about getting people to care about voting for their candidate. At this point there is just no way people still don’t prefer one candidate over the other
I think someone who has been on the verge of converting to Trumpism would vote for him because he was shot at, but nobody that disliked him is gonna start liking him more
You’d be surprised, I know I was. Just like how there are still undecided voters
Third time’s the charm?
I’m just glad this fucker is old. Could you imagine if we had to put up with this shit for 20 more years?
He’s done regardless after this run.
Hopefully. I said the same thing back in 2020, figured he’d be dead by now
And hopefully this Vance guy doesn’t stick around, either, because he would be a pain in the ass for 20 years.
I’m at a point where I think he’s more useful alive than dead. I feel like he’s ALREADY going to lose 2024. I’m a little baffled that it’s even a close race at all, but I’m still confident that between the debate, and the Taylor Swift endorsement he’s dug his own grave. And with that, it means he lost 2020 election, and the 2024 election. Would the GOP really endorse a 2X loser in 2028?
I think him being alive forces them to support their own self made loser. And now even fox news is calling him a loser.
He likes to say things like “they’re laughing at us!”
No. They’re laughing at YOU trump. You are a laughing stock. Not the country. Not the democrats. Not anybody else but you. You are a loser, soon to be a two time loser, with two impeachments and 34 convictions. Nobody in American history loses bigger than you donald trump.
Alive he can go down in ignominy and we can move past him. Dead, he would be a martyr and would never leave America’s conscience.
I was a toddler when Nixon went down, but I heard what my parents had to say and combined that with what I’ve learned of history. Nixon was very popular, but once he went down he was like Voldemort, the one who shall not be named.
No. They’re laughing at YOU trump. You are a laughing stock. Not the country.
The country is also a laughing stock but yes Trump is a big part of it
Yeah, Trump has already been president once. There is no escaping being a laughing stock country after that one.
If he’s alive they will endorse him. There’s someone pulling the strings in the Republican party, I’d guess Putin. Republicans used to be the regular kind of horrible, now they’re just repugnant and evil. Trump is the perfect figurehead.
And he keeps losing. That’s my point. If he were dead, they might find someone who would/could actually win. Because let’s face it, Harris isn’t exactly everybodies first choice. She was kind of the only thing left once it became blatantly clear that Biden wasn’t going to be the 2024 nominee.
So, if trump is alive, trump runs, democrats win. That makes trump more useful alive than dead.
But I don’t think putin/GOP would be stupid enough to run him a 4th time.
I’m pretty certain he’ll be dead in four years, especially if he loses the election.
Dead or fully brain dead. So many Alzheimer’s symptoms and he’s about to turn 80. It goes fast once it starts (and it probably started 10 years ago).
