Gavin Newsom's X feed is awesome

[DaisyDay]

Are you claiming the shooting was also fake, along with the firefighter that died?

Do you even know the firefighter's name? Did any of the proceeds from the merchandising of the event go to his family?

His name was Corey Comperatore.

Now, how does that even begin to answer the simple yes/no question I asked someone else?

Why would you suppose it was trying to?

So you're just attempting to troll?

 

[DaisyDay]

So you're just attempting to troll?

Are you accusing me of trolling? Pretty sure that kind of accusation is against the rules.

And So's Law. And projection.

Why do you take a question as an accusation?
Seems rather defensive.

No, there were real bullets fired by a registered Republican, but none of them struck Trump. His ear was cut when he was tackled.

Well, I'll be waiting for your evidence to prove that.

 

[DaisyDay]

Why do you take a question as an accusation?

If I were to ask you, which I would never do, "Why do you post like such a moron?", would you find that offensive? It would be "just asking questions" in the same vein as your "questions". I would be, if I were to ask such a thing, explicitly not calling you a moron but would merely asking why you post like one - which, again, I am not doing and would never do. Just an example.

Seems rather defensive.

Baiting and goading.

He can have all the fun he wants laughing about attempted political assassinations and people dying. Let's see how hard he's laughing when it all comes back to bite him later. He's clearly a short-term thinker.

The assassination attempt is deadly serious and immoral and to be condemned!

But there is another issue here. I served in the Australian Military. In our Bootcamp we were drilled that when shots are fired, you follow the protocol or colleagues die. We would jog through the bush and randomly our Sarge would yell "BANG!" and we would instantly yell "Run! Down! Crawl! Observe! Aim! Fire!" A short dash to cover, dive down, crawl around, and check for incoming fire. So much for grunts in the bush.

I wrote about all this last year when it happened. It still makes me mad when I think about it. When shots are fired, those poor agents have a job to do. Get the President down, and then get him out of there! You assume the worst - that it could be coordinated - there could be multiple shooters. You put YOUR BODY on the President as a human shield.

Did Trump do the right thing - valuing his agents lives and complying with their instructions? NO! He paused for a photo-op. And MAGA cheer him on as a hero! I just see narcissistic opportunity and disregard for his agents lives! Anyone defending his narcissistic photo op is disregarding the men and women that put their lives on the line to defend their President.

If he doesn't want to obey the recognised drill - why should they bother putting their lives on the line for him? He was being a buffoon! The more fun we poke at that disgusting image, the better!

It's right there on the video.

Attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Pennsylvania - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Trump was shot and wounded in his upper right ear[7][8][9] by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks,[2][10]who fired eight rounds from an AR-15–style rifle from the roof of a nearby building.

If he had stayed down there would be posts talking about what a coward he was

Well, for one, it exposes the obvious and blind hypocrisy of Donald Trump's adoring fans.

Satire is often subjective. And, I suppose, the more one reveres the subject of that satire, the more one will object to it.

I wonder if he'll get around to having his Press office post satirical memes about Christian children being shot in Minneapolis, reasoning that if they're Christian they must be future MAGA voters. From what I've seen so far, it wouldn't surprise me. Let's see if he has any wisdom at all.

I guess we'll see.

-- A2SG, remember, y'all don't have to vote for him, assuming he decides to run....

Someone died. Why are you celebrating this?

Someone died. Why are you celebrating this?

-CryptoLutheran

Even though other people died, surviving enemy fire and displaying courage in the face of enemy fire and death, has always been celebrated here in the United States.

If you know how to read ribbons, you'll see that Col. Ralph Puckett was awarded 5 Purple Hearts. Why give him awards when other people died?

Why is President Biden clapping when so many people died?
