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..

I mean they can't aim for shit so...

Oh man, if he’d have gone for Charlie he wouldn’t have missed

"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 1 year ago

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

[-] Skyline969@lemmy.ca 71 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

I live in Canada, so...

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

[-] SoupBrick@yiffit.net 61 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[-] Pronell@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year 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 1 year 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.

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

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

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Set your VPN to Russia for maximum funsies

Lol, I'm in danger.

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

His ear was burning.

[-] n4utix@lemm.ee 40 points 1 year ago

When the fuck are people gonna start ignoring the pearl clutching by the right? Anyone who says "so much for the tolerant left" should get the shit beat out of them.

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

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] Prandom_returns@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

Somehow "MAGA hackers" are still holding a banjo in my head.

[-] formergijoe@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Didn't know banjos were a thing in Russia. TIL

So....cancel culture?

I thought they didn't like that?

[-] Red_October@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

No no, this is hunting. Totally different. /s

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

while Trump sells assassination sneakers?

[-] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Shouldn't have missed this pig skin, reptile, child molesters, Cheeto Mussolini.

[-] banshee@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

I just feel bad for the bullet. I can't imagine the shit it went through.

[-] AshMan85@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

"Fellow pedophiles, lend me your ear"

[-] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Who's joking? He's a fascist, pedophile rapist piece of shit It's a god damn shame he missed.

Republicans need better aim.

[-] mjhelto@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

I've seen country bar bathrooms before. Trust me, it's not just bullets they miss.

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

They miss Trump, they miss toilets, they miss the Confederacy...

[-] SaltyLemon66@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

Shouldn't have missed. This fucker should be DEAD.

[-] Paragone@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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.

My "CENTER MASS" bumper stickers are selling like hotcakes.

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.

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.
