Ugh, the duopoly's going to get so much more insufferable over this like they're not both slavemasters worthy of being reviled.

Remember that Biden is immune thanks to the SCOTUS.

I’m hoping for the best. For the United States, that is.

Well I think we can all be certain there won't be any huge downwind effects from this 😐

Yup they're going to try to rally around this. His stupid little fist thing he was doing while the secret service was around him is scary. It's plays right into the fascist playbook and his narrative as a victim/brave knight enduring arrows for his common people. I'm sad to say this, but it probably would've been better for democracy if they had succeeded. I think he would be easier to handle as a martyr than this tough guy act he's going to assume after this 😩

Hate that it was my first reaction to the news

It could be but let's not jump to conclusions.

I think if it was strong enough to bloody his ear like that then a few centimeters difference could potentially have done very serious damage.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is it possible that it could be a direct hit on the side of his head with something like a paintball gun or something stronger than that but not quite enough to do fatal damage? I have no experience with guns of any kind, genuinely wondering.
