Sickening indeed. How can you get that close and fuck up your one job…

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 25 points 4 months ago

Shooter forgot to allow for the cloud of bullshit-laden hot air emanating from the target.

[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 22 points 4 months ago

It was still a distance shoot at that range, and apparently those are actually harder to hit than media marksmanship makes it seem

[-] Zron@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

There’s a lot of armchair snipers all of a sudden who are saying they can hit a few inch group at 100 yards with their eyes closed.

Given lemmy’s demographic, I’m not sure how many of these people have actually held a rifle, let alone tried to shoot it at +100 yards while under a time crunch and stress.

Not saying what the kid did was right, but criticism of his marksmanship isn’t really fair.

[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

They just feel teased by the botched shot is all, they'll probably shut up about it once Trump inevitably manages to spectacularly blow any sympathy he might have gained over this, as he is often want to do.

Guy's gonna hit the circuits like a lightning bolt about this, and inevitably he's gonna say something that puts it right back into everyone's head what exactly he's proposing for his second term.

It's absolutely wild to think about, it's the first campaign in history where both candidates survive mostly on a strategy of talking as little as humanly possible and under as controlled circumstances as humanly possible.

The way to win is to actively avoid reminding everyone that the candidate you support is one of the candidates, because of just how much the media has poisoned the well that this very obvious outcome is some unforeseen portent of oncoming doom because gasp two first term presidents are seeking the second term.

Like what in fuck were people expecting was gonna happen, a divine intervention? Joe's literally said that it'd take that much at minimum to convince him to hand the reins even to Kamala, nevermind how Donny would probably spit in the eye of god himself at the suggestion that anyone but him, even a magically created exact copy of him in a younger body, should take over the campaign.

[-] Phoeniqz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago

But those armchair snipers aren't actively trying to shoot the US president. I mean if I were to do it I would make sure I won't get killed for nothing

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 48 points 4 months ago

😏
I see what you did there

[-] kionite231@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 months ago

Could you explain it to me? I don't really know the meaning of "it's sick" (Is it ill?)

[-] Beardsley@lemmy.world 46 points 4 months ago

Sick can be used either to refer to something unfortunate (as in ill), or to refer to something really awesome. It's just casual American slang.

[-] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

Not to be confused with "ill" as in awesome.

[-] Fades@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Calling something sick is far more than unfortunate, it’s closer to demented or disgusting

[-] dan@upvote.au 5 points 4 months ago

It's just casual American slang.

We used to use it in Australia in the 2000s too. If something was very awesome, it was "fully sick".

Sick is said as a bad thing. But in teenager slang it can be used as something cool.

[-] kionite231@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 months ago

That's why biden used this double meaning word... I see.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

He clearly didn't intend it to mean anything else but the literal meaning

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

No. It only has that meaning if you're 14 and very edgy. No adult will use it like a teenager would.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 18 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Sick has had this meaning since like... The 70s or 80s. Its not just edgy teens. In fact I suspect that this has probably fallen out of favor with gen alpha.

So if anything, I think you probably have that exactly backwards

[-] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Still at least two generations newer than any slang Biden would use.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 months ago

Oh for sure, my comment wasn't literal. No way does Biden have the presence of mind to make a slick response like that

It's been around for a long time but you stop using it like that once you have a sliver of adulthood. The point being that no Biden did not use it as a double entendre.

[-] BeardedBlaze@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Ah yes, only 14 year olds skateboard and/or surf. Lol

Trump's grazed in the ear, inches away from death. That's sick, man.

[-] obinice@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago
[-] zarathustrad@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Do you have a license, to ill?

[-] RiikkaTheIcePrincess@pawb.social 37 points 4 months ago

Would've been wicked sick if they'd succeeded :D

Too bad about that :-\

[-] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 4 months ago

Can we please fucking not?

The man deserves to have his wealth dispersed among the needy, and to be put into an isolated care facility while the world quickly forgets about his existence. We don't need to make his mark on history any larger by making him a martyr.

[-] elbucho@lemmy.world 51 points 4 months ago

Better a martyr than a president.

Martyrs martyrize a particular movement. There’s no platform for Trump, it’s literally just the person and whatever he says/feels like/is angry about.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Last I checked rape was on their list of reasons for the death penalty. Makes sense why it is Republicans shooting at him. The justice system failed to put him in the ground where they wanted him

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

It's why you aim for center mass rather than going for the headshot

[-] bruhduh@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

It's radical

[-] azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 months ago
[-] Draegur@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Bruh sick as hell

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Republicans have given much worse reactions to violence on democrats (on the level of making fun), at least one should have the balls to point out that this is a direct result of republican policies and Trump's hate speeches.

[-] c0smokram3r@midwest.social 19 points 4 months ago
[-] loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

ooo WA-Ah-AH-AH !

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

Siiiiiiiick

[-] krimsonbun 16 points 4 months ago

pretty sick indeed

[-] MTK@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It's sick! 😎

Or?

It's sick! 🤢

[-] Thann@lemmy.ml 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

How sick was it from ollie to kick-flip?

What a perfect comment to be interpreted in whichever way someone wants to interpret it.
