My friends and I agree that boredom is the only appropriate response. We were over it within an hour
It’s just “don’t feed the trolls” logic as applied to narcissistic politicians
Caring that a former politician was almost assassinated isn’t feeding the trolls. Being bored by the very reasonable deluge of coverage of a former president nearly being assassinated is absolutely grim as hell man. Assuming the poster is American take some fucking interest in your life.
Let’s go back to talking about how Biden’s too old for a second term.
Or we can talk about that AND the fact that the world would have been a better place if Crooks had been a better shot 🤷
Except Biden isn’t too old, he’s too cognitively diminished. For example, Bernie is about a year older and showing no symptoms of cognitive decline.
Granted, Bernie was an elite cross country runner in his youth and still goes for a run every day, so that definitely helps…
All the Dems are freaking out over this, but its the only news item capable of dethroning “Biden Old!” headlines that were pummeling them since the debate.
It gives them some breathing room to strategise out of the spotlight, which might be what their comms blackout is really about - I don’t believe it’s truly out of respect for Trump, I mean come on. They’re politicians and he’s… Trump. That is of course assuming they’re actually serious about winning, which they don’t really seem to be if I’m honest.
Shame he didn’t have a scandal on that stage. They would have stopped taking about it within the day.
To be fair, an assassination attempt like this hasn’t happened within the lifetime of many Lemmyists. Trump has a scandal every other week.
That doesn’t quite have the same level of drama as a sniper on the rooftop though.
And the 2016 assassination attempt on little known US presidential candidate Donald Trump…
There’s only so many ways to tell a very simple story.
Yet you needed to make a meme to think it through
