Commendable commitment to the performance. A powerful metaphor. Truly an artist.
Meh, I think the SpongeBob movie did it better
This whole event is genuinely surprising to me. How few people showed up, how few artists with any name recognition they were able to get, just how shoddy everything is. Where are all those Fox News hogs?
The hogs are incredibly pissed off about the Iran war. /r/conservative has been incredible recently
Pissed off that it happened or that the u.s. lost
At first they were like "well this sucks but do you want Iran to have nukes" and then after they were legitimately "Trump needs to go"
I had completely forgotten about that place
you know trump is scraping the bottom of the barrel because he's resorted to ranting about marxists and communists to a bunch of confused boomers who believe communism was already defeated. he's got no juice left
What goes up must come down.
Much like morning wood
But wait until you get older and—

I think as the kids say what was an overshare. Never mind.
The funniest things you dooo America America this is youuuuu

OH SAY, CAN YOU SEE
THERE'S A STRONG BIG-ASS TREE
anyway kids want to learn how levers work?
Freedom* 250
America 250 was the initial plan.
Freedom 250 is Trump's thing.
2/10
He should have called it Trump 250.
Probably need a CW for this one
Genuinely asking: for what?
Displaying the USA flag without it burning
Is this not a person getting maimed? Like its not shown explicitly but people might like to know they're about to see somebody get grievously injured.
Ross Vail was landing near the Folsom Pro Rodeo in California when his flag snagged on a tree, sending him flying into a tent and narrowly missing grandstands and a crowd that audibly gasped as when he was sent flying to the ground. A spokesperson for Choose Folsom, which organizes the annual event, told The Sacramento Bee: “Yesterday’s landing was certainly not the landing he intended, but thankfully, the skydiver is doing well.” The skydiver cut his lip but was able to resume parachuting the following day. No other injuries were reported.

Ok I stand corrected. It looked like he'd be coming out much worse for wear from that height
I do think they got incredibly lucky though, the wrong thing underneath them and i think they'd have been coming down with enough force to be impaled
He might be fine for all we know. There's no gore, no real evidence of any serious injury except what's in your mind. Certainly no indication he was "maimed."
I mean falling in that posture from that height is evidence to me to assume a serious injury until shown otherwise. The other commenter posted an article showing that he made it out without major injuries so it's fine, but I would rather play it safe until that info is available
I was a little too mean to you yesterday and I appologize
That's ok and I appreciate that. Didn't mean to spark anything it just made me feel weird watching before I knew the details
Im sure the glider is a piece of shit for being there to perform but if they're not i hope they're okay. The tent could have saved them but they were going in pretty fast
Edit: i see they're fine that's good for them
