Facts For Thee

I hate living in this time that makes satire obsolete.

Can anyone please think of the makers of south park and how they are supposed to make fun of self owning clowns like this?

No worries, they'll find a way to both sides this
Satire is dead so they had to get into the restaurant business
“Thoughts and prayers.”

It's time to deploy the-glass-is-necessary-because-its-really-a-hologram conspiracy.

I read that JD Vance is an AI holopresence
- Maybe just"A".
- JD Vance is just ChatGPT in a robot in a skin suit
- Nah, some weirdos like AI. No one likes Vance, not even Vance.

3 assassination attempts. In what 3 months? And they're all from Republicans.

The most recent "assassination attempt" was just drummed up by the media. I haven't seen any evidence it was anything other than a man with some guns in his car who happened to be near the rally.
- A couple of media places did release a very short blurb in small print that the "suspect" had no plans to assassinate anyone according to law enforcement after a short investigation.
- Honestly, I’d be surprised if the venn diagram of “people who would keep guns in their car” and “trump’s base” wasn’t a circle.
  There’s going to be a lot of false positives in an environment like that
- The Riverside county sheriff is the one who first used the term assassination attempt. Media uncritically repeated what the sheriff said.
- And when it comes to America, a man with guns in his car is a normal situation.
  God I hate this place.
- I was sitting there reading the articles thinking, "if a loaded weapon amongst Trump supporters is an assassination attempt we're going to need a spreadsheet here .."
It's a culture of violence
3? What others than the one in Butler?
- The other 2 were prevented

Well yeah, duh, that's why he has the glass. /S

yeah it is crazy fact of life that schools get shot up so much more frequently than police stations and federal buildings.

almost like politicians and police are safer than school children in the system run by police and politicians.

Also that this "fact of life" almost entirely applies only to schools in the US. The world works in mysterious ways indeed. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
- It blows my mind as a non-Amerian that their politicians are saying that the right to own a gun and carry it around is more important than children being able to go-to school without the fear of being killed. That's just the cost of 'freedum'.
Politicians and cops have guns, or other people with guns, to shoot back. Schools do not.
It's a class thing.
- Therefore the average NRA opinion: If everybody has a gun...
  
  Edit: I'm from Europe and a supporter of strict gun laws. I just saw an analogy in NRA and the Syndrom quote.

A fact of life... when living in America. Third world country that doesn't tell its inhabitants.

Remember: If your country doesn't average at least one school shooting a week, you live in a shithole.

what’s so frustrating is that this “they’re a fact of life” mentality is a self-fulfilling prophecy. and the longer it continues to used as a justification for inaction, the harder it becomes to convince people that gun violence is a solvable problem.

yeah, but the solution is taking peoples guns away and many people (as do I) belive that the right to bear arms is an important human right
- Only important in the US, though.
- I'm usually pro gun-rights, though with reasonable restrictions. I have two issues with your comment though.
  First, not human right, American right. It'd be such a weird thing to say it's a human right to own firearms when they're a pretty modern thing, meanwhile shelter, food, and water are not.
  Second, the second amendment is invalid. It's based on an assumption that isn't true anymore "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." A standing professional army was not the norm of the time and it wasn't expected that the newly form small US would have one. It was expected we would have to rely on a citizen militia for defence. I know what the courts have ruled, but they ignore this first section. Since the first assumption isn't true, the following assertion must be invalid. IANAL but I have no idea how it's made it through the courts so long without this being shown.
- i mean this as a genuine question: why do you think it’s important that people have access to guns? i never really got the appeal, but also haven’t talked to many people who do think guns are important, so it would be nice to hear a different perspective on this

"That's why your parents' tax dollars should be paying for nice, safe, private religious schools!" /s

This actually makes all the sense. If he truly believes it then he’s rightly afraid. If he doesn’t believe then this sends the message to his supporters that they are right to be afraid. Either way it also tries to give him a “martyr in life” kinda vibe by trying to paint him as someone so dangerous to their little deep-state(that totally isn’t 100% conservatives if it’s anything at all) would want to get rid of.

He also has a very shootable personality and platform, and Trumping have been shot at definitely gives some reason why he’d be behind glass himself.

Benefit of the doubt interpretation though is a guy who can afford to have security and bullet-proof glass telling little children to “deal with it” is a fucking scumbag-extraordinaire.

And that some can afford protection and made it impossible for others is also a fact of life

Wasn't the guy who shot at trump staged behind him?

All that glass is doing is paying the audio engineers for extra work to get the front rows speakered too.

He was on a roof kinda to the side, the people he injured (+ killed) were behind trump

I wonder how they deal with drones.

There’s only one way to find out!
Hypothetically.

This is what it feels like when dealing with banks and utilities of a loved one when they pass away.

I think it would have been funny in an ironic way if he was shot from behind the barrier. Just something to really prove his point.

Yeah but he's "important" fuck your kids though.

Seeing the top and back completely open, I see it as just for show/security theater.
