  • The best part is there was a police officer who climbed the roof and saw the shooter, who threatened him with the gun, so he turned around. Trump got shot because of scaredy-cop.

    Edit: The cop possibly made him rush his shot and miss according to source (below). Thanks Blanketswithsmallpox. Apparently when I make a claim that is on a news site, I should put the link or get downvoted. 🤷

  • Emerson T. Brooking @etbrooking ~20 hours after a seismic event in American history (with a lot of very bad discourse), this is the first real attempt at AI disinformation that I’ve seen.

    Wake-up call for anyone worried that it was deepfakes that were going to radically alter 2024.

    Mike Rothschild (no relation) @rothschildmd · 10h There's a fake version of the Trump photo getting passed around by resistance accounts that claims to show Secret Service agents smiling as they grab Trump. The real photo clearly doesn't show them smiling.

  • Was it a camera phone video from the crowd? I saw where one guy said they tried to warn the SS because they saw the shooter.

  • Some people even liken him to Jesus.

  • It was some fast thinking and good political instinct (although bad survival instinct) to make a photo perfect pose while getting escorted out by secret service.

    I’ve heard reporting say that he was informed that the shooter was already taken out by the time he fist-pumped.

  • Reports are coming in that he was a registered republican, but had donated to dems once in the past. He was only 20 so not a lot of political history to go on.

  • I think this poster is saying: “since you believe two wrongs don’t make a right, then when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, the correct thing to do in your view would to turn the other cheek.”

  • That’s so sad to hear. I hope the other one makes it alright.

    Good time for a PSA about not poisoning rodents. There are better ways that won’t hurt other animals.

  • Like the kid in the story, who literally got made fun of by the teacher, was like “I think he need to write an apology to the whole school, but he shouldn’t get fired.” He’s a good person. And the dad said he thought the teacher should go through racial sensitivity training but not lose his job. Idk if I agree with them, but at least they are thinking with compassion and not rage.

  • You should see the “sleeping in class” one. He pseudo-curses in it and talks about how rude it is before going on with the question.

  • Hollywood. Think about it.

  • Sometimes, when I think of this, I think about that civil war they want.

  • no, I don't think this is made up just to divide us.

    Now, those articles written about them are another story. They frame things about generational differences in a negative or salacious light for the views.

  • Or enslavement?

  • marijuana is a registered drug because of its 'danger', but alcohol is not. it would be comical if it wasnt so sad

    Worse, it’s a “schedule 1” drug, which is defined as having:

    • a high potential for abuse.
    • no currently accepted medical treatment use in the U.S. Drugs.com

    Interestingly enough, that definition fits one of these substances, but it’s not pot.

  • At least I’m not the only one. I drink vodka when I drink because it tastes like nothing. Beer and wine are both terrible.

  • From the link:

    And despite what you may have heard, pusillanimous does not serve as the basis for pussyfoot, pussycat, or a certain related vulgarism.

  • …the theory that Earths surface is the post-apocalyptic "stone-age" setting of The Flintstones…

    I am going to have to do some research on this. So, did the rich go all Jurassic park with their infinity money to distract the masses, then when the flood waters rose, they forgot to keep the power to the containment on? Wasn’t there an episode where the Jetsons meet the Flinstones?
