Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Jesus. Last thing we need is for him to become a martyr

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 40 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Too late. Chuds are already acting like he died while praising him for being alive.

[–] Dickey_Butts@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah worst case scenario. Should have got the Abe treatment

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

That would have been worse tbh, every single Republican afterward would be even more openly fash, whereas this at least might fade in the background

[–] Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Why? No one else has the sauce like he does. And chuds are gonna chud out for the rest of our lifetimes anyway. Him dying wouldn’t be that different than him losing except libs have to roll back their blue maga shit and return to civility fetishism.

Looks like another John Hinkley jr shooter who can't aim. Trump is unharmed and doing a fist pump with a bit of blood on his face is a major PR win for Trump.

Damn that's gonna be his new fundraising shirt

~~Looks like it came up from his mouth, across his cheek, then hit his ear - was the shooter in the front-of-stage area?~~

Edit: nope, on a roof

Apparently one of the bullets hit his teleprompter, which shot a shard of glass in his face
