I’ll say it out loud: On the one hand, dying of cancer sucks. On the other, Shannon Doherty was really mean to her coworkers.
Just realized she passed away yesterday, I only heard about Gene Simmons.
Edit: RICHARD Simmons. Gene is the guy from KISS.
That was a wild fitness class…
This Rhino must be talking to liberals.
Yes, and the Republicans who miss when their party wasn’t loony tunes.

It’s the same picture.
Oh yeah, that’s right, I keep forgetting this is fashion commy territory and they use liberal as a slur like Republicans do with no self-awareness
You’re on Lemmy, outside of explicitly anti-communist spaces like Lemmy.world you’re going to find more leftists.
Leftists referring to Liberals negatively is standard leftism, as Liberals support the Capitalist status quo and stand in the way of progress. The fact that Republicans are even further right than Liberals and use Lib as a slur for people less right wing does not mean leftists are without “self-awareness.”
You could read theory if you want to, plenty of people would be willing to share tips and pointers, then you wouldn’t have to rely on edgeless snark.
Bah. They’re Republicans in name only.
I rather it never happened. But him surviving is the worst outcome.
Yeah… Surviving that basically won him the election.
Yeah… Surviving that basically won him the election.
No if everyone making this assumption votes, rather than staying at home and assuming they’ve already lost. The left outnumber the right after all. Losing is a turnout issue.
Kinda crazy to think Biden can still pull this off. Furthermore, it happened in PA, a crucial state.
You could run a cabbage, but if everyone votes for them they’ve pulled it off. Voting is the difference between winning and losing.
Idk, I feel like him surviving is the better outcome. Republicans would have ridden the “Martyr” angle until the end of time. And while it would have been hard for the party to transfer his cult to someone else, it would happen eventually. Chances are, the person taking over would have been much smarter.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d love it if Trump died, but it has to be in a funny way that can’t be misconstrued as heroic. Make him fall down stairs lined with fart pillows. Have him chase an underage girl into a wall that has a tunnel painted on it. Put him in a comically unsafe submarine to check out the Titanic…
They are treating him like a martyr right now.
Without Trump, who do the republicans have? De Santis? Nah. Martyr means nothing if there’s no realistic second choice.
(Otherwise, the CIA wouldn’t have bothered assassinating political candidates in south America)
Not to mention numerous Black Panthers, civil rights leaders, many others killed. The state knows that assassination can work.
Today was a bad day
If your feelings weren’t mixed you either don’t value human life or you don’t value democracy.
I don’t even know the news how can I feel mixed
Assassination attempt on Trump in a rally.
I see. Thanks
is Democracy really just a choice between an evil and a good? the USA needs way more politcal parties than just two.
The USA needs ranked choice voting
What? The current events are an attempt on someone’s life with the goal of saving what semblance of democracy we have left.
I don’t even agree with him, but did y’all seriously miss the memo? It’s pretty obvious what he meant if you haven’t been under a rock for the last 24hrs.
It’s pretty wishful thinking to think Proj 2025 and all the other MAGAs are going to fade away after the orange man is gone. Did you not see De Santis’ support before Trump entered the race?
There’s a lot of bullets in the country, Republicans made dire of that. Shame if it backfired on them.
Paradox of tolerance: Trump will end democracy and even more lives.
There is no way to know if he wouldnt have just turned into martyr and help elect someone even worse
No, the person most likely to end democracy will advocate rolling back freedoms to ‘preserve’ it, or to punish the wicked people that are considered their political enemies. The most likely person won’t be a Democrat, but will almost certainly be a leftist that starts their own populist political party
Leftists don’t believe America can be saved, they wouldn’t “roll back freedoms,” whatever the heck that means, they would dismantle the state and build up a new one.
Fascism has always been a right wing ideology. While leftists have made some terrible mistakes, you shouldn’t pretend they are the only or main threat to democracy.
Sorry but most politicians don’t care about democracy either, just enriching themselves and close friends
Edit: a
bystanderTrump supporter was killedFTFY. They were attending a Trump rally. They weren’t just a bystander. They were complicit.
You are truly the epitome of an evil person. God help us if someone like you ever gains any real political power
I’ve been called worse by better people.
You don’t have to convince me. I believe you
Trump has frequently called for the violent death of his enemies. Everyone at that rally supported this position.
I don’t feel bad at all for the thing they want to happen to others happening to them.
So, for all your haunted ideals, at the end of the day, you are no better than him. You are a narcissistic person that gets a perverse pleasure from the suffering of your perceived political enemies
Would you kill Hitler, or throw aside your gun for the sake of “civility?”
Would killing Hitler make you “no better than Hitler?”
No, it means the next guy to commit atrocities will have a different last name. Your cartoonish views on morality is tiring
Gotcha, you would in fact let Hitler be.
We aren’t running out of humans, and we don’t live in a democracy…
Turns out you don’t have to be running out of humans to value human life.
Define ‘Human’
If I have a bowl of rice, and one of the grains is actively trying to end my way of life, I don’t mind when someone shoots at it with an assault rifle.
First of all: rice doesn’t have that kind of agency
Second of all: shooting at a grain of rice in your bowl with an assault rifle is many times more likely to hit you than that specific grain of rice
Third, if that’s REALLY the best analogy you could think of, you should just stop the whole “communicating your thoughts to other people” thing. Evidently it’s not something you’re ever going to get the hang of.
Fourth and finally: a propos of nothing except the fact that I just listened to an episode of My Brother, My Brother, and Me, horses are overrated, and not just by the McElroy brothers.
I have thoughts and prayers for the bullet that couldn’t do it’s job
What happened? Did we discover another exo-planet?
Some guy tried to shoot Trump. Tried. However, bystander died and FBI killed the shooter.
FBI or secret service?
FBI
Secret service proved itself once again to be the most useless.
“What the fuck do you fucks even do?”
“It’s a secret”
Nearly.
No signs of intelligent life?
I don’t have mixed feelings. No-one should ever, attempt, to assasinate a would be dictator.
Do or do not, there is no try
- YodaYep, we all know Yoda would be disappointed.
No mixed feelings at all. I am unequivocally sad that we lost Richard Simmons today 😢😢😢
And Dr. Ruth! 😪
And Dr Ruth. That lady was such a charming little horn dog.
Damn this is how I found out. Extra sad now, thanks.
Absolutely not. My feeling of disappointment was completely unequivocal.
You mean this: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hackers-use-poc-exploits-in-attacks-22-minutes-after-release/ ?
Pretty regular stuff if you ask me
No, there was an assasination attempt on Donald Trumpet.
I never understand why lemmy downvotes someone who is trying to help by providing accurate information, presumably because they think that there’s a very small chance that the person they’re replying to isn’t being sarcastic.
Funny enough, I wasn’t entirely sarcastic. I’ve seen some trump memes that day and suspected smth happened to him, but they were the 1st to explicitly tell it as far as I remember 😅
Nothing mixed. Fully sad he didn’t die and this will cement his win in the coming months. We’re fucked.
There’s still time for the DNC to swap Biden out for a more electable candidate and energize their own base again, for what it’s worth, though at this point I think the DNC wants to lose so they can secure more funding.
I’ve not looked at the news yet, Lemmy was my first stop. I’m thinking… earthquake in the Kremlin?
There’s a lot of really nice architecture there, it’d be a shame for it to be lost in rubble.
That, or we got disqualified from the Euros final xD
Trump got shot at. Trump fine (hence the meme), shooter dead, couple bystanders dead.
Trump got shot at. Trump fine (hence the meme), shooter dead, couple
bystandersTrump supporters dead.they’re still people
Yea americans forget that sometimes
The kind of “people” that are ok with killing most of the others.
True, but they’re still people. Dehumanizing them because they dehumanized you is another path that I don’t care to see. It’s good to be intolerant of intolerance, but nothing ever gives anyone the privilege to do anything intolerable.
The Nazis sentenced to death at the Nuremberg trials were people, but they still deserved what they got
Yep, given the number of places currently ‘technically’ invaded by the country. I guess i guess everyone’s desensitised
Yeah, bad people who try to establish fascism in america, so nothing to be sad about.
They are, indeed, people. My point was only that they are not “bystanders”. They are actively involved, and much more so than the average voter.
We’re getting into paradox of tolerance territory, tbh. I’m not upset that supporters of fascism were killed.
I am upset that the guy with the rifle didn’t have better aim (if indeed that was actually how everything went down, and it wasn’t staged in one way or another, because there are several fishy things about this).
i wouldn’t know, according to them and their folks, my friends and family and I are not people, so I guess my definition of that must differ. moreover, I don’t dispense sympathy for people who would cheer and support the news that me and mine have been hunted down and shot in the street. I don’t sympathize with the aggressors. I’ve just been trying to mind my own business and live my life as best I can, but these people (in sudden newfound need of sympathy and feelings of safety, lmao) have been talking for years of purges of non-Whites and gays, and civil wars, and rounding up the undesirables (that’s me, apparently, by virtue of birth) to clean up the country. might as well be asking me to sympathize with a school shooter over his hearing damage from not wearing earplugs while he mowed down a classroom.
But that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make
Not mixed, the attempt does not improve or reduce make his ability to run the country. What it does however is increase his chances of winning.
Gives me Reagan and Hitler vibes.
Its disappointing. Good someone had the balls to actually try and show he is serious when he says the 2A is there to prevent fascism. Sad he failed.
That it does probably means that Americans deserve whatever lows their country will fall to.
