  • I've been seeing Everett True beat people senseless for months now. It's kind of nice seeing him get a taste of his own medicine.

  • What's all the fuss about? Who hasn't butt-chugged a pitcher of margaritas at a Mexican restaurant?

    Nobody else? Just me and the lady in the article?

  • That sounds like a fantastic plan. Enjoy yourself.

  • Correct.

    The pot-stirring also exacerbated rioting in the summer of 2020, too. Both of those events got the media to lay off a little bit, but that only lasted for a little while.

  • If you read between the lines the messaging is "holy fuck, you got people killed in 2020. Cut this shit out because you're getting people killed again".

  • Not to the "base" of either of the major parties, no. Those voters are already committed to their candidates.

    This election is likely to come down to independents and undecided voters. Where that messaging could matter is with people who are unsatisfied with the Democratic party AND dislike Trump.

    The idea that "they hate me enough to kill me" might be compelling to someone with a strong dislike of the Democratic party, perhaps enough to get them to hold their nose and vote for Trump. That being said, I wouldn't even venture a guess at how many people that would be.

  • No shame in sitting things out for a bit.

  • A whole slew of politicians from every party and every corner of the Union have more or less said "can the media and firebrand politicians chill out before we all start getting bumped off?". I'm paraphrasing, of course.

  • American here, I haven't heard one peep about Trump getting more support because of this outside of Lemmy.

    Whether or not the Trump campaign can spin this in their favor depends entirely on the motive of the assassin. If they were just some nutjob, there really isn't much they can do.

    If, on the other hand, the assassination attempt was politically motivated, there are two ways I can see this whole thing being spun:

    1. "The other side knows I'll win and the only way to stop me is to kill me. If you don't like them, vote for me because I scare them and they hate me."
    2. "The other side is so evil and vile they would stoop to try to kill me rather than have a fair election".

    In the event that the assassin wasn't some flavor of crazy, spin number one is more likely than spin number two, but they're hardly mutually exclusive.

  • Sure it is! It all goes at once. Just like baby teeth. /S

  • I'm guessing it's the department of redundancy department, is my guess.

  • Ya got a source for that?

    /s

  • I came here for a sensible chuckle, not to have my fucking mind blown.

  • Apple

  • 60 billion cum downloads.

  • Their policy is "nuclear ambiguity". That means that official, firm statements made by the government will neither confirm or deny that they have nuclear weapons.

  • I turned on the radio in my car to tune into the debate. The first thing I heard was Trump saying "we had the most immaculate air, we had the most immaculate water".

    I just shut the damn thing off.

  • Hey, holy shit! Thanks for finding that!

  • Were you fishin' in mah waters, motherlicker?

  • HELL YEAH, BROTHER!
