He’s a fucking martyr now, great.
Martyrs are dead
For the literal definition of a martyr, yes. For the political concept of a martyr, definitely not.
Just ask Steve Scalise.
Who?
The fucking House Majority Leader.
Christ.
Straight from the dictionary:
a person who is put to death or endures great suffering on behalf of any belief, principle, or cause:
He’s not suffered nearly enough.
Stormy Daniels is the fucking martyr.
Hey did they finally find the “good guy with a gun”?
I believe they shot him for trying to stop a criminal. Very sad.
Wouldn’t be the first time.

They missed the head
Would it have made a difference if they didn’t?
Nothing inside anyway.
The universe might have imploded from the sudden imbalance between mass and un-mass (the opposing axis of the “dark matter” posit). We might count ourselves lucky ¹.
- For values of lucky exceeding 10^-20
Or would that have been the lucky outcome after what might happen with a sympathy vote?
I don’t think the episode changed either of our votes, do you?
Ours? No. But I’ve never voted for a Republican in my life.
Ears are part of heads…
Oh, barely. An ear is basically a pull tab for the human face. One good yank’ll do.

It would either need Trump to have impeccable timing, despite being barely able to walk down a ramp unassisted, or rely on the shooter being able to just barely clip Trump.

He would have to have impeccable timing still. Lifting his hand just as the gunshots ring out? I doubt Trump has the response time to consciously do that.
Some reports say he was hit by glass from the teleprompter.
This doesn’t look like him acting to me, I doubt the old man would be able to pull it off.

Also, there’s two confirmed dead so far:
Butler County District attorney told the Associated Press (AP) that a shooter was dead and that a rally attendee had also been killed.
Thank you for answering; I hadn’t seen the confirmation yet.
Just because the head is filled with beans doesn’t mean it’s not a real head.
He was bleeding.
If it bleeds…
Or maybe it was ketchup from a hamburder
She’s a woman?
TMZ has reported that he was struck by glass from the teleprompter and not directly shot/grazed: https://www.tmz.com/2024/07/13/donald-trump-appear-shot-pennsylvania-rally-president-election/
Wait he bothers with teleprompters for these rambling sessions?
Gotta make sure he hits all of
Putinshis talking points.
Damn.

That’s not the way
A guillotine would be more fitting but it’s the thought that counts 💜
how bad does it have to get before violence is acceptable? Before or after one is in the concentration camp?
Vote, don’t murder
And if you lose the vote to not go to the concentration camp?
Popular vote doesn’t count in the presidential election in case you forgot.
The ballot box is one of the four boxes, yes.
And if the fascist gets voted in? Then can we murder?
Well, the other way hasn’t been working, has it?
You’d feel the same way if it was your preferred candidate?
It’s not the way.
My prefered candidate isn’t a fascist.
Find a way that works to eliminate fascism, then we’ll talk. Until then, stop enabling them.
Wait, are you saying I’m enabling fascism by not advocating political assassination?
Advocating and disparaging are not the only two options.
Uh, okay, are you saying I’m supporting fascism because I’m disparaging political assassination?
Fascists work to undermine the social contracts of tolerance and nonviolence and are therefore not protected by them.
There’s no high road to take with this guy. He should get over it

with this, i think we can say now that donald trump winned
Sadly yes. I think Trump will win.
All the mods are going to have a fun time justifying removing all the calls for killing Trump after allowing all the “let’s do guillotines” comments since forever.
To those wishing the shooter had better aim - imagine what that might unleash from the right? They already did Jan 6. Just think about what they’d feel justified in doing if someone killed Trump.
To others on the fence - stop to think for a moment that those wishing for his death might be well aware of the above and in calling for the death of Trump, they know exactly what the response from the right would be and that may be their point in making such comments.
