Meanwhile a couple of links down on my feed there's an article about one of the Heritage Foundation guys claiming most political violence is committed by the left.. 🙄

The projection never ends..

"And these blast points, too accurate for Sandpeople. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise." He said, looking at a sand crawler with random scortch marks all over the hull that still looks fairly intact.

Sorry I couldn’t hear you, there’s a tampon in my ear 👂

[-] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 73 points 4 months ago

Man, trump can’t even take a bullet let alone a joke.

[-] Skyline969@lemmy.ca 71 points 4 months ago

For people who oppose cancel culture so much, suddenly it’s not so bad when they can use it to their advantage.

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

You are mistaken my friend. They oppose anyone but them using cancel culture, just like everything else. I'm sure their motto is 'if you can't win, cheat!'

[-] Icalasari@fedia.io 67 points 4 months ago

I live in Canada, so...

Give it your best shot? At most, I'd lose an ear so...

[-] SoupBrick@yiffit.net 61 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I haven't heard enough, tbh. Maybe I just missed them. I'll try to keep an ear out for new ones. I'd give a shot at making one, but I think the joke would not land.

P.S. To my FBI agent: This is an attempt at humor. Please text me back, bro.

[-] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 55 points 4 months ago

My favorite I've heard so far was "this is the one time I wish a politician leaned further right"

[-] Pronell@lemmy.world 60 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

And people mocked Jack Black for canceling his tour.

You can't put on a good performance while also putting your audience in danger.

These people need to be locked the fuck up for death threats. It's very, very simple.

[-] OsaErisXero@kbin.run 42 points 4 months ago

Because kowtowing to the American Nazi Party is obviously the right solution

[-] Pronell@lemmy.world 37 points 4 months ago

This is just so glib.

I mean I get your point. I even back you to a degree.

But you're calling out a popular entertainer for not wanting to put on a show - which requires a support staff, venue, and audience - while now having to think what nut might be in the audience waiting to take a shot.

MAYBE this shit is already stressful enough for Jack without worrying about everyone around him and how that extra stress will undermine their performances as they do this shit night after night for the entire tour.

But no, tell him he must go on. It doesn't cost you shit. You don't have to live with the stress of it all.

[-] OsaErisXero@kbin.run 10 points 4 months ago

Yea, I get it, but this shit is exactly what gives these people power, and emboldens them to continue to do it to others, both more and bigger. It got to this point specifically because the people who can stand up to it chose not to, and so now if you so much as make a comment about these fucks in an attributable space it's expected that they'll make credible death threats and bomb threats, maybe even blow up a building, who knows. And it's your fault for saying it, because I mean look at the way you were talking. Practically asking to be murdered.

Fuck that.

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

Because kowtowing to the American Nazi Party is obviously the right solution

This is what people say when it's not them being targetted. United States Congresspeople refused to convict Trump. Cities had to beef up security when announcements about his trials happened. This isn't your average joe. This is a man with unlimited resources at his disposal, millions of lone wolves willing to do his bidding, including committing acts of violence, and a national megaphone to call them to action.

But hey, you do you. I'm sure that when you become the target of the Trump Hate Machine, you can show all of us how to handle daily death threats, family members being targeted, losing your job, and maybe having your home broken into and getting hit in the head with a hammer. Or having to go into hiding. Go ahead, I'll wait. Let me know how random citizens are supposed to handle that. I'm sure Ruby Freeman and Shea Moss would like to know too.

In case you haven't been paying attention lately, I'll clue you in on something: MAGA morons have no problems using violence to get their way. And it's very possible any attempt at retribution could include something happening at one of his shows. And if there are credible threats being made to him or his band, continuing the tour just tells his would-be assaulters where he is every day. It would be practically suicide.

[-] SkyeStarfall 9 points 4 months ago

You're speaking as if minorities aren't already at risk of being victims of hate crimes by the right?

I don't care about the cancelation of the tour, but him saying he iced all projects with Kyle does not sit right with me

If they were friends like Jack claims, he would say something like: "I know him very well. It was a joke in poor taste, but it was only a stupid joke in the spur of the moment. " instead of distancing himself from the heat

Lol, I'm in danger.

How did Trump know that everyone was talking about his political campaign?

His ear was burning.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 49 points 4 months ago

I'm tempted to make one now out of pure spite, but there is no joke that is bigger than Donald himself.

They'll of course equally condemn the "second amendment people" comment and Paul Pelosi jokes, right?

Maybe he actually got hit in the head, but there was nothing inside.

Yeah, not sure where they got that idea. Trump indoctrinated my family into a cult. He deserves the worst.

[-] Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

More evidence of the GOP mantra; use threats of violence to get what you want. This is what their voters want for the country. To be able to get what they want, and use violence whenever they don't to force compliance.

And what's worse, if the examples in the article are any indication, is that companies are going along. Those examples will encourage more doxxing because it worked. And especially if Trump ends up winning, it'll soon be apparently a fireable offense to have the wrong political opinions.

What's wild is the bullet went in one ear and out the other without doing any more damage.

Rule # 1 in dictatorships:

THE PURGE happens, up-front.

Remember "Q" was pushing that that would happen?

The prediction was early, but it was spot on.

As I've been saying for years, now.

If trump takes office again his life insurance cost will go way up from just one pence.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
