So important that the memes get on top of this story and double down on this specific hypocrisy. Optically, this tragedy is perfect for the RNC to the point it could almost be staged except for the glaring weak spot that Republicans believe that the person who did this had every right to own a firearm. The memes need to absolutely rail at that chink in the armor and pretty much nothing else, otherwise this is nothing more than gained footing for MAGA.
This is a great point. Commence the meme-off!
But haven’t you heard? It was a group of illegal Mexicans. They shot then planned to rape Melina however unfortunately those dirty illegals missed and Melina remains un-raped, well by illegals anyways. /s obviously
Lest anyone feel bad, remember they thought this was fine.
Someone saw this and sent me a message saying they hope I die, lmao.
I hope you live a nice long and fulfilled life, but die eventually. Let’s be honest, given the current timeline… immortality would suck.
This is fine. It’s just not usually like Lemmy to send me vile threats since I sprinkle joy and sovcits all over the place.
it is strange, we live in weird times though.
Well, this event will definitely be exploited by Trump’s team and he will be strengthened. Just like happened with Bolsonaro and the stab.
Unfortunately I think Trump will be reelected.
Or we get a bunch of copycats.
Biden gets shot. Trump gets shot.
Future debate, Trump brags about how he got assassination attempts and Biden goes “No way Jose, I got assassination attempts too, bucko.”
What a timeline.
That would certainly be the quickest route to nationwide gun control
He’ll claim to be over it (he seems to be fine), but still implicitly prod his more eccentric followers to exact retribution.
Wake up babe mods swept through and you can’t post opinions on Lemmy either
Remember: vote this fucker out
Well now we know a three letter agency doesn’t want him dead. They at least hit their shots.
Malcolm X: Dead Martin Luther King: Dead John Kennedy: Dead Bob Kennedy: Dead Ronald Reagan: Lived Donald Trump: Lived
I see a pattern.
Teddy Roosevelt: Shot. Told the crowd not to kill his assassin. Delivered his entire 50 minute speech, from start to finish.
Schrank’s bullet lodged in Roosevelt’s chest after penetrating Roosevelt’s steel eyeglass case and passing through a 50 page thick (single-folded) copy of his speech titled “Progressive Cause Greater Than Any Individual”, which he was carrying in his jacket pocket.
Roosevelt, as an experienced hunter and anatomist, correctly concluded that since he was not coughing blood, the bullet had not reached his lung, and he declined suggestions to go to the hospital immediately. Instead, he delivered his scheduled speech with blood seeping into his shirt. He spoke for 50 minutes before completing his speech and accepting medical attention. His opening comments to the gathered crowd were, “Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose.”

Trump: Injured by teleprompter. Claimed victory. Carried off stage.
