I hear there was some confusion as when the gunshots were heard, the secret service shouted “Donald Duck!”

‘sake

(apart from the bystanders).

At least it answers the question oft asked of him; "Can't you get it into your thick skull?".

Twitter is full of conspiracy already <sigh> Americans are so fucking predictable.

If only they allowed more people to carry guns then someone could have prevented this shooting

Finding it funny how deranged America is that they're right up there with the best in terms of attempted political assassinations.

The tactical experts are on it.

Oh Jesus

I saw some stuff yesterday where "they" were blaming the amount of women in the Secret Service for, um, something or other in the whole handling of Trump post-injury.

DEI is the big new thing for dickheads to moan about, it handily catches women and all minorities. It’s been a real time saver for bigots.

Yeah, if you see someone angrily talking about DEI on social media, just assume that they think blacks, browns, the physically disabled, women etc are being put on remedial training courses before being unleashed around their STRONG WHITE MEN counterparts, because those groups - everyone who's not a white man - are incapable, mentally deficient and thus, ruin everything from Disney films to Boeing aircraft.

Its a bit like angry references to globalists/WEF/Soros - that's just good old fashioned jew-bashing, like wot we've seen for centuries.

In >80% of situations, the above is literally what these people think, and wish they could say out loud.

Some of them because it gets engagement (and thus clicks, and thus views, and thus ad/sponsor revenue), but most of them because they really are - ironically - that fucking stupid and socially inept, to the extent most of them probably need a carer before being allowed near real people.

"Donald Trump’s criminal case on charges that he illegally retained classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago club was dismissed on Monday after the presiding judge [Aileen Cannon, the US district judge appointed by Trump] sided with the former president and ruled that the special counsel who brought the prosecution had been improperly appointed."

Yes. A young white republican male fired a gun at an old white republican male; somehow this is due to leftie DEI policy.

Now the internet sleuths are trying to identify people in the crowd whose reactions weren't precisely identical to everyone else, as if this is a tell that proves it was an inside job.

Americans are absolutely fucking paranoid nuts.

When I was travelling Latin America for nine months I hung out with people from all around the world. Out of all those people during that time, it was only Americans who talked about aliens, conspiracy theories or in the worst case one actually used a handheld scanner to check me for excessive radio waves or whatever the fuck they think is killing them. Nutjobs.

Can you imagine the training….

“Right, when you hear the bang, duck your head, scream and then run about a bit ok”

“Ok Mark, hit the saucepan in 3….2……..”

Dave!

I was joking, but...





And then we have:




And it's starting to make sense. trump doesn't have money, he cons it out of other people. Musk & Thiel & Putin.... they have money,

Tan Gogh.

Did anyone think it couldn't get worse ? Vance announced as VP, who said:

“And I was talking about, you know, what is the first truly Islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon, and we were like, maybe it’s Iran, you know, maybe Pakistan already kind of counts, and then we sort of finally decided maybe it’s actually the UK, since Labour just took over.”

The UK is an Islamist country that doesn't yet have nukes. Riiiiight.

Oh yeah, he's thick as nice and a particularly nasty little racist shit to boot. That comment is specifically meant to pander to the racist right, and he knows it.

I see that sort of shite repeated in US based discords by thick cunts - along with things like 75% of your pay goes to the UK tax man etc.

Reactionaries not knowing how progressive tax rates work is endlessly funny tbh. After the French were talking about a 90% rate over €400k folk were like "so you'll only actually get €40k of your salary".
