robocallStill a traitor, grifter and pedophile
NaibofTabrIt’s likely to have the opposite effect in this case.
solsangraali hope he thinks about how he was 2 inches away from death every time he’s out in public pushing for violence
He’s too narcissistic for that.
Chances are he’ll believe what his Jesus followers are saying and think that Jesus DID actually save him because he’s the chosen one
That would require him to believe in Jesus.
No, people with NPD are constantly haunted by their mistakes, failures, and anxieties. Trump is an asshole because he’s neurotypical.
West Siberian LaikaNeurotypical? He’s a narcissist at best, and a full-blown sociopath at worst.
I don’t think you know anything about psychiatry, seeing as you’re using the name of a fake disorder. Sociopathy isn’t really in the DSM, it’s not a mental disorder. It’s fake. You’ve been hoodwinked. It’s just Greek for socially ill person. You know, like autism.
Wow, you’re so clever you couldn’t even go to wiki for one second. Sociopathy is, in fact, real and refers to Antisocial Personality Disorder.
Ohhhhhhh. Okay, I understand now. You were using a controversial slur to refer to a disorder whose actual name you full well know. Sorry, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt and starting from the assumption you didn’t hate disabled people. I understand now.
You were using a controversial slur to refer to a disorder whose actual name you full well know.
Don’t worry, much like sociopathy the current term will eventually also become a slur and need to be renamed again. This is the way of such things - so long as the thing is seen as something negative, the term for being/having that thing will take on a negative connotation over time. Several rounds of this is why the language has become so wordy and bloodless - if it’s enough of a pain to repeat in full every time it takes longer for it to become a slur.
Maybe words for disorders wouldn’t turn into slurs if people like you didn’t insist on stigmatising disorders by diagnosing evil public figures with them.
Why don’t you whip out the ol DSM and read about antisocial personality disorder? Call it psychopathy, or sociopathy, or APD. A rose by any other name.
Call it psychopathy, or sociopathy
I’m not going to do that, because I don’t call disabilities by slurs. I typically use the actual names of the disabilities instead.
catharsoif i got almost shot in the head i’d probably quit and do something else instead 🤔
Transporter Room 3Can confirm, you don’t even need to be shot in the head. It can be in the thigh.
Apparently, he was too busy playing golf to reach out to any of the other folks who got shot.
saw on r/conservatism, “Trump will undoubtedly pay for that person’s funural.” Ha, yeah fucking right!?
The greatest builder in the world still hasn’t erected any structure for his wife’s grave.
she knows what she signed up for
The funny thing is that back in the 1980s she was the star of the show and Donnie was the stooge who carried her bag. She was a world class skier and knew how to work a room.
She has a brief cameo in ‘The First Wives’ Club’ where she tells the stars to get all they can out of their husbands.
The funny thing is that none of her children [Ivanka, Don Jr, and little Eric] could be bothered to do something. All have resources of their own.
little Eric
lol
Hey now, my governor said Eric Trump changed a tire like a big boy!
Have I mentioned that I hate my governor, and also that I was not surprised at all that he had his bulldog with him for the RNC speech? Still can’t believe he got it added to a fucking historical mural.
I mean, it makes him more relatable to school children.

MontaggeIt does if the shooter could hit the broad side of a barn
ObliviousEnlightenmentPainful as it is, the shooters aim was fine. A 3mph breeze blew the bullet off course the moment he fired. We got horribly unlucky (or there is an evil god)
~150 yards, wobbling target, small window of opportunity, and multiple well-trained counter-snipers lining you up, and you have to hit the head.
I’d say the guy made a hell of a shot.
Lots of people overestimate their marksmanship capabilities. 150 yard headshot with open sights on an AR? It’s doable but harder than people give it credit for.
Getting shot by your own voter actually makes you even weaker than before
Thoughts and Prayers everyone, Thoughts and Prayers

IsaI would have to agree, I assume?
These calls for unity are empty. He spouted hatred since day 1 of his election run. I’m not fooled he had a “come to Jesus moment”
He still hates and has surrounded himself with the worst people in America. He my have survived an assassination attempt, he still doesn’t have my vote.
There is one correct response to trump getting shot.
Thoughts and Prayers.
He’s been using violent divisive rhetoric since day 1. He’s been degrading political discourse into even less productive name calling, baseless claims, and stochastic terrorism. Reap what you sew. I’m not upset that trump was shot. I’m upset that someone took a shot at him.
kamenladyOnly if you manage to shoot his ass off him.
Then we’d undeniably have a less asshole trump.
It changes the ass to hole ratio though.
Hitler survived at least 42 assassination attempts according to Wikipedia. Just saying.
At the end, he couldn’t survive his own.
What a hero he was, fukken killed Hitler the mad lad!
It’s infuriating that people have forgotten about how utterly horrid trump was as president. From disbanding the NSC pandemic unit which led to a bungled COVID response, pretending COVID was no big deal (leading to hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths compared to other leading economies), crashing the economy leading to massive inflation by running it hot and gutting tax revenues (the Economist was warning about this in 2018), and of course leading an insurrection against the United States. HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR THIS TURD?!?!?!?
UnderpantsWeevilHOW FUCKING STUPID ARE PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR THIS TURD?!?!?!?
America is the most propagandized country on earth.
Russia, North Korea and China would like a word with you.
KGB and CIA agents are sharing drinks at a bar.
CIA turns to KGB and says, “I’ve got to hand it to you. The Russians have some of the best propagandists in the business. I’m always amazed at what you can convince people to believe.”
KGB smiles wryly and retorts, “Ah, but nobody is better at telling lies than the Americans. You’ve got your whole country fooled.”
The CIA spits out his drink and turns to his Russian counterpart, “What are you talking about? There’s no propaganda in America.”
The KGB breaks out laughing.
"But Covid isn’t a big deal and inflation is Obiden’s fault"
- my family, definitely
LMAO he’s gonna be your president soon.
The only thing he’s going to be President of is the Rikers Island Book Club.
I’m actually amazed Biden was too stupid to run ads reminding people of THIS!
RememberTheApollo_Tbf people don’t usually go out of their way to shoot nice people.
littleblue✨You’ve not met m(any) US cops, I take it?
I’m still alive.
Fair point.
So… all those kids in all those schools?
You’re going to make me debate what “usual” is for shootings in the US. That’s a grim one.
Sadly, it’s usual.
About 14k homicides in the US total per year (using 2019 numbers).
About 3300 of these were done with a firearm of unknown type, about 360 with a rifle, about 200 with a shotgun and about 6400 with a handgun.
If we assume the unknown firearms are split the same way as the rifle/handgun split of known firearm homicides then it’s about 535 with rifles and about 9525 with handguns. Realistically, it’s probably tilted farther towards handguns, just because they are easier to dispose of and harder to recover, but it’s close enough. Not including shotguns in that calculation because while there are lots of cases where a given round could come from a handgun or a rifle, there aren’t many cases where the same round could have come from one of those or a shotgun.
To continue the breakdown beyond just shootings, about 1500 homicides per year are from knives, about 1600 from other weapons (blunt objects, explosives, poisons, etc) and about 600 done unarmed.
Usual for a shooting in the US is someone engaging in another sort of crime shooting someone else, often someone engaging in a related criminal activity with a handgun. Think gang violence, drug deals gone wrong, that sort of thing. There’s a reason gun crime rates are heavily concentrated in cities, and in specific neighborhoods within those cities and it’s not because gun control or gun culture is radically different a few blocks away.
Yeah, like MLK! Wait…I think your premise may be flawed.
Well considering how many regular people get shot, yes…there definitely are flaws, however I did use conditional language “usually”, so you’d have to get in the weeds to judge who gets deliberately shot and if they were nice or not.
Tbf, I still call it into question. Technically “usually” people shoot themselves, 20,000 more times yearly than someone shoots another person. All of my friends who have killed themselves were actually some of the best people, of course this empirical evidence doesn’t mean that everyone who shoots themselves is well liked, but in my case it’s never the ones you’d wish would (figuratively, it’d be cool if nobody did it) it’s always the ones that make you sad.
Furthermore by a large margin most of our homicides are gang/drug related, and while the Crips may hate the Bloods, they do like the other crips and their family members like them too and such, so it isn’t as if they’re universally hated, but more like most people they’re hated by some and loved by others, “controversial” if you will. Sorta like MLK, or Trump. Some love 'em, some hate 'em.
Furtherevenmore? Furthermost? The next largest category can be described as “crimes of passion” which is usually a spouse or business partner. Typically the “liked” one is the victim (perhaps unsurprisingly, those that would stoop to spousal killing aren’t so likeable.)
And at some level in there depending on where you source your stats is self defense, which involves necessity rather than likability by definition.
