I hope the shooter had the foresight to place a Polymarket bet on himself

    I hope this doesn’t break up Tenacious D again.

    Instead of a traditional roasting by a comedian, the event was set to feature Oz Pearlman, an Israeli mentalist, who performs mind-reading demonstrations.

    Hoping we get some Mossad mind control assassin discourse out of Qanon folks with this timmy-pray

    In live footage of the incident, shouting could be heard in the background, with someone yelling "USA" and "God bless America" repeatedly.

    Imagine rooting for your country during a shooting. I'd argue that a shooting is the new 'as American as Apple pie' as American as a shooting. As American as gun violence.

    Maybe it's just the timing of the photo, but Trump seems suspiciously unfazed compared to everyone else in that photo. Not sure what it's suspicious of, but it's weird

    If the mentalist was any good none of this would have happened.

    I think some of the reactions are interesting like Dana White who said he was thrilled. They're treating it like dinner theater. This is like a new level of access between the press (and Trump's people) and the President. Come be part of the show. It's an experience. It's starting to feel like that's the more important part. If something did happen to Trump, they would still be drinking and laughing with brain matter all over their tables. Bring out the tarp for the front row like a Gallagher show. Watch the President get his melon smashed. Be part of history. The party must go on.

    Let me guess, the bullets will be engraved with anti-maga rhetoric, they'll find a manifesto that is written like 19th century poetry, and they'll be some form of LGBTQ which conveniently will be all over their "social media" pages.

    It is utterly humiliating tbat the world is run by a tyrant who is simultaneously totally unaware of what is going on and the luckiest man on earth.

    This would be an intense situation if anything ever happened. We know from experience the inverse is true, though.

    Yea why can't anyone ever hit this guy it's not like he's a small target and you'd probably get him or make the surgeon's jobs really fucking hard even with a wound that otherwise wouldn't be immediately lethal

    Only one attempt actually shot anywhere near him. One got arrested for lurking around some golf course bushes and this one just ran into a hotel lobby and got gunned down by security. Like I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that all the gunshots were just the Secret Service lighting someone up for trying to barge through a security cordon, so the only "active shooter" was some SS agents.
