Facts For Thee

I hate living in this time that makes satire obsolete.

Can anyone please think of the makers of south park and how they are supposed to make fun of self owning clowns like this?

No worries, they’ll find a way to both sides this

Satire is dead so they had to get into the restaurant business

“Thoughts and prayers.”

It’s time to deploy the-glass-is-necessary-because-its-really-a-hologram conspiracy.

I read that JD Vance is an AI holopresence

JD Vance is just ChatGPT in a robot in a skin suit

Nah, some weirdos like AI. No one likes Vance, not even Vance.

3 assassination attempts. In what 3 months? And they’re all from Republicans.

The most recent “assassination attempt” was just drummed up by the media. I haven’t seen any evidence it was anything other than a man with some guns in his car who happened to be near the rally.

A couple of media places did release a very short blurb in small print that the “suspect” had no plans to assassinate anyone according to law enforcement after a short investigation.

Honestly, I’d be surprised if the venn diagram of “people who would keep guns in their car” and “trump’s base” wasn’t a circle.

There’s going to be a lot of false positives in an environment like that

Why can’t leftists have some guns?

The Riverside county sheriff is the one who first used the term assassination attempt. Media uncritically repeated what the sheriff said.

That’s their job. You might think their job is to investigate, but that is not what they’re paid to do.

And when it comes to America, a man with guns in his car is a normal situation.

God I hate this place.

I was sitting there reading the articles thinking, “if a loaded weapon amongst Trump supporters is an assassination attempt we’re going to need a spreadsheet here …”

It’s a culture of violence

3? What others than the one in Butler?

Okay, true. That’s two.

The other 2 were prevented

Only one was prevented. The 3rd one, the person had no plans or interest in an assassination attempt. He was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Edited for missing critical word. Thanks to Warl0k3@lemmy for the proof read!

Well yeah, duh, that’s why he has the glass. /S

This, but without the /s. Completely non-sarcastic.

yeah it is crazy fact of life that schools get shot up so much more frequently than police stations and federal buildings.

almost like politicians and police are safer than school children in the system run by police and politicians.

Also that this “fact of life” almost entirely applies only to schools in the US. The world works in mysterious ways indeed. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

It blows my mind as a non-Amerian that their politicians are saying that the right to own a gun and carry it around is more important than children being able to go-to school without the fear of being killed. That’s just the cost of ‘freedum’.

Their freedom to make the rest of society pay for their hobby.

do you seriously think the safety of the few outweighs the rights of the many? (we need more people with good aim to practice on political figureheads)

Politicians and cops have guns, or other people with guns, to shoot back. Schools do not.

It’s a class thing.

Therefore the average NRA opinion: If everybody has a gun…

Edit: I’m from Europe and a supporter of strict gun laws. I just saw an analogy in NRA and the Syndrom quote.

That is the case. But it does not make it any less true. Those with weapons are harder to assassinate than those of us without weapons. Again, it’s a class thing and you and I are not a part of that class.

That’s such a weird “sinister” line

Super-ness and gun ownership aren’t the same thing, and don’t work the same way.

When everyone is armed, everyone can kill.

When nobody is armed, a subset of people can kill.

The former state of affairs is more fair, and hence less likely to lead to violence.

Almost like one of those places is not like the others in terms of having armed guards.
