Snowflakes can't take a joke.
Something something cancel culture.
Something something right of free speech
Orange snowflakes as well.
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..
It's tiring dealing with these dipshits. Brainwashed dumbasses.
Yeah, it isn't great for my mental health, but this is the most important election in history, and I have to fight until the end
Let's be very clear here: the Heritage Foundation aren't brainwashed dumbasses. They're the malicious architects of turning America into a neofeudalist Christofascist white ethnostate. Stopping them would do more for reversing America's decline than removing Trump. He's the symptom; they're the cause.
Id say its more like an ouroboros at this point the cult of personality helps mobilize the dipshit which further empowers the heritage foundation which further empowers trump. Removing two of the elements would collapse it though and removing one would severely weaken it.
Ah yes the very same hedge foundation that said their American revolution will be bloodless if the "left allows it".
I mean they can't aim for shit so...
Comment has been reported to TPUSA report center
Oh man, if he’d have gone for Charlie he wouldn’t have missed
Definitely wouldnt hit that teeny tiny face though.
"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.
Have you watched The Bad Batch?
The main characters were introduced in season 7 of the animated Clone Wars series, and their "spinoff" has 3 seasons on Disney+.
Its definitely top tier & worth your time.
It is hard to get into the animated series because they start off pretty kid-oriented, but I promise you they get good and are worth sticking with.
Bad Batch largely doesn't have that problem because it's mostly an extension of The Clone Wars.
I think he was being sarcastic.
Sorry I couldn’t hear you, there’s a tampon in my ear 👂
For people who oppose cancel culture so much, suddenly it’s not so bad when they can use it to their advantage.
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!'
Man, trump can’t even take a bullet let alone a joke.
I live in Canada, so...
Give it your best shot? At most, I'd lose an ear so...
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.
My favorite I've heard so far was "this is the one time I wish a politician leaned further right"
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.
Because kowtowing to the American Nazi Party is obviously the right solution
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.
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'm not saying you're incorrect, but it's easy to be principled when it's someone else in the cross-hairs.
Victim blaming is wrong, but boisterously inviting danger is stupid.
You're speaking as if minorities aren't already at risk of being victims of hate crimes by the right?
Careful there buddy, without the /s we aren't sure if you were addressing the RNC.
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
Jack also has a pretty active acting career that Kyle doesn't. So it makes sense that publicly he'd want to distance himself as much as possible, at least for now.
He's got kids I don't think Kyle does. Gotta do what you have to so crazies don't lash out at you or yours. Kyle knows this.
He was within earshot (not my original)
I'm tempted to make one now out of pure spite, but there is no joke that is bigger than Donald himself.
Set your VPN to Russia for maximum funsies
You don't think his voters are a bigger joke?
How do you miss a bright orange target that hoots and hollers
I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a wacky waving inflatable tube man.
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.
I always ignore those stupid motherfuckers.
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.
I'm starting to wonder if maybe he intented to miss. Knowing it would spur his base to turn him into some deity
considering he was looking up local dem conventions and got kicked out of a gun club for being a poor shot... well I think this guy just wanted to prove that he wasn't a complete loser
This might be a legit thing. I don't mean he was an elite sniper who just tried to shoot his earlobe off, but that he intended to miss by a few metres, but he wasn't exactly good at that either.
Evolutionary survival skill.
I wasn't joking.
Yeah, not sure where they got that idea. Trump indoctrinated my family into a cult. He deserves the worst.
What's wild is the bullet went in one ear and out the other without doing any more damage.
I saw a decal on a van that said “Just a regular mom raising lions not sheep” and I thought “more like raising bullies not responsible citizens”. It’s where Karens come from; it’s where crazy parents getting teachers fired comes from - this idea that it is totally appropriate to use force, threats, proximity, and volume to get what you want instead of negotiating, accepting the rules, and admitting that you’re wrong and the world doesn’t bend to your rules. And somehow, we’ve given these people their own talking head to justify their behavior and he just might win the presidency. It’s astonishing.
Somehow "MAGA hackers" are still holding a banjo in my head.
Didn't know banjos were a thing in Russia. TIL
It's called Balalaika over there.
How can they hack if they can't even read?
nearly all republicans these days live in a suburb. IMO more likely the guy at a car dealership sales desk or a real estate agent is a typical republican these days.
...while holding a banjo.
sure but only as a prop
So....cancel culture?
I thought they didn't like that?
No no, this is hunting. Totally different. /s
❄️
I just feel bad for the bullet. I can't imagine the shit it went through.
Who's joking? He's a fascist, pedophile rapist piece of shit It's a god damn shame he missed.
"Fellow pedophiles, lend me your ear"
while Trump sells assassination sneakers?
Republicans need better aim.
I've seen country bar bathrooms before. Trust me, it's not just bullets they miss.
They miss Trump, they miss toilets, they miss the Confederacy...
Shouldn't have missed this pig skin, reptile, child molesters, Cheeto Mussolini.
Couldn't hit the side of a Trump at 140 yards.
To be fair, he did hit Trump, just not with lethal effect. If Trump had not turned his head, there would be greater violence and that is a sort of blessing.
If you don't think there would be greater violence if Trump had died, you don't appreciate the perilous situation we are in. No martyr has ever caused de-escalation.
I don't know why someone downvoted you - you are technically correct which is the best kind.
I would argue there would be greater violence in the short term, and in theory would allow those who believe themselves above the law and consequences to learn otherwise. Instead we get a greater and greater cliff for the country to fall from when it eventually does.
Shouldn't have missed. This fucker should be DEAD.
My "CENTER MASS" bumper stickers are selling like hotcakes.
Trump assassination jokes have been going on since Trump was President 5 years ago... it seemed like it was only yesterday that Depp talked about killing Trump and Griffin held up a severed head of him...

That is all.
This really makes me want to make a distasteful joke about it now but i don't want to be distasteful.
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.
I'm right here. Or am I
over here?
Fuck you fascists. Bring it.
I'm here assholes
And if they KILL any of those people it's the DEMOCRATS Fault and definitely NOT the Fault of the Republicans who Literally Kill the People!
Kill me with the unity bullets.
If Biden and Trump have another debate, Biden should spend the whole night making ear jokes.
Be vewy qwiet...
Jokes?
Man, I’d be a lot more concerned if they weren’t all such absolute sandwich fillings
lol come get me. #fucktrump
Don't be that sad person.
Trump isn’t president of the US though.
Sure but idiots like him can't understand basic principles. If they could, they wouldn't support trump.
Never knew joking about a past event could considered a threat...
*ear now we are just taking shots at some jokes.
"On a list"? If you're still using that expression, and don't know about the Snowden leak, then you might be senile.
Is this one of those lists republicans print out and stick in a binder? Ive always been lowkey jealous of all them women, why do they get to be in the binder and not me
Nobody here is on a list, nobody is making active threats. Joking about things that happened and having ill wishes for someone without intention of acting on them is covered by the First Amendment. If it weren't, then all Repubs would be in jail.
