    There’s been a lot of shit going on lately

    A guy charged the white house with a shotty, another guy drove from East Coast to Vegas to attack their power grid again…

    Usually Kash would do a huge press conference for all of these, but they’re happening so fast and there’s so much else going on no one can talk about everything. And by the time they start talking about how bad it is, it’s going to blindsided everyone.

    People without shit to lose, tend to act like it.

        Bunkers just prove yet again the short term mindset of the wealthy. they’re useless. They hold off death for a brief period of time. Eventually though you need to leave said bunker of which we kill you on exit OR you go the hitler route.

        These idiots honestly believe if they throw themselves in one we’re not just going to camp the outside?

        Marie Antoinette thought she was safe too.

        They all do.

        If they really didn’t, they’d hand back some of the wealth/power to appease us. Which is why when/if they get to that point, we take what they offer and use that to fight for more.

    I’m sure it’ll be another right-wing crazy, just like all the others have been. The fact that they haven’t tried to jump in front of it calling the guy a radical leftist means he was probably still wearing his maga gear when it happened.

    They don’t seem to understand that firing up al of this puts everyone in danger, including them. Of course, having a dedicated secret service to protect you helps, but that branch is far from perfect.

      Or, they’re lying about the gun and the guy was just bringing Grubhub to a resort guest…

      Here’s the thing about the secret service. Fascists/authoritarians are paranoid and obsessed with personal loyalty. The problem with that is it breeds incompetence, laziness, and negligence. You are limiting yourself to an ever-shrinking pool of sycophants, and I think we all know from our own lives that the least productive or skilled amongst us kiss the most ass.

    Given that most law enforcement stories lately (/s) are completely divorced from reality and fall apart with video evidence, I’d like to see the body cam of this. Now all we have to do is wait for the AI to generate some video that matches the report…

    Just another right wing nutjob. This one probably finally had enough (but would still vote republikkkan) of all the grifting and pedo talk.

    Why were the SS there if PEDOnald wasn’t even there? Sounds sus.
