Not tossing a couple grenades into his pope box was a failing that our military may never live down.

Zero risk. Would have become a hero.

By leaving it at home.

For that matter, the successful assassination of JFK didn’t stop Johnson from handling Vietnam so poorly, and didn’t stop Nixon from being Nixon to begin with.

Operation Northwoods.

Ronald Reagan was shot at and hit in 1981, but it took the nuclear near miss in 1983 for him to de-escalate his rhetoric.

The worst thing John Hinkley ever did was choose to use a .22 that day. Based as hell for taking a shot at The Devil (.tm) like he did. The man is a hero. But damn did he choose his weapon poorly. (Jodie Foster thought it was hot)

it’s important to remember that Trump was shot. Eleven months ago today, actually. It did nothing to stop this,

Because it was a setup. Not an organic shooting.

Remember when Steve Scalice (sp?) got shot? Remember PLAY BALL all over the internet? That had the desired effect. It works. When its real.

It’s called “Blading” and it is a wrestling move. Outlawed internationally. Used to be very popular.

Get his ass.

Hundreds of protests all over the country. It’s gonna be glorious.

Chump knows he’s hated. Its why his big beautiful bullshit is gonna have 19 miles of fencing and hundreds of metal detectors.

Never the less. Godspeed to any who take aim. May their aim be true and their pursuers be slow.

Edit - inb4 - I am of the opinion that we should never go more than 20 years without a president being shot. Kill or wound doesn’t matter. Party doesn’t matter. Every elected representative needs that periodic reminder of both their own mortality and that they can be reached if their actions become odious.

If necessary.

We expecting Greenland to launch nukes or something?

Unsurprising.

Maybe a couple dozen more of the cryptkeepers will die off before midterms and they’re forced to take on some younger blood that isn’t sucked from virgins.

I recognize that Netscape logo cool guy.

How’s your knees? Mine are fuuuuucked.

This guy sucks soooooo much. I hate that he’s probably going to use all this in a presidential bid.

It’ll probably work. In the unlikely event we do have another election. I’ll probably vote for him too. But he does suck when he’s not taking advantage of a fat orange shitbag. Just remember that.

Miller is what caused the “Uncanny Valley” phenomenon in early humans. He’s what prowled in the dark that looked human but wasn’t. And for long enough to warrant an evolutionary response.

Broken clocks and soforth.

They never were. It was always cover to do awful shit like overturn Roe.

Any southern state really. Not one of them have room to talk. And for GA and NC I can say that from first hand experience.

Where you been?

This is how the military works. How you think they can set a trillion dollars on fire every year just to maintain parity with Russia and China? By being WILDLY overcharged for fuckin’ everything that’s how. The US Military is the worlds biggest money laundering operation.

lol

I don’t want a soft landing. I want it to crash and burn so hard that the very idea of preserving any part of it is anathema. I want all the corrupt power structures that ruined us to be actively eliminated. Leave the failed experiment where it belongs. In the history books. Learn the lessons of its fall. Make something better. Which is an exceptionally low bar.

It really isn’t hard. Put the welfare of the mass of the people first and foremost. “Mass” meaning the whole. All the people. Otherwise what’s the point of a government at all? Don’t recreate a society of slaves that serves a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction of the most wealthy parasites. Value human life beyond its utility to an oligarchy. Set a floor on standard of life. A base level that people can’t fall below and can build off of. Or not. If they want to just live their life let them.
