Shoshana 🏳️⚧️"Shootings are a fact of life," says JD Vance while standing behind bulletproof glass with the world's most capable bodyguards
Michael Stanclift@LilahTovMoon "the world's most capable bodyguards" who still can't stop them from getting shot.
.vad//hakara🧭@vmstan @LilahTovMoon And the ones with the most, best training, that are supposed to protect the president himself, keep getting bit (24 times!) by a large, obvious dog.
Passwordsarehard4@vadhakara @vmstan @LilahTovMoon truthfully? Their job was to be between the president and any threat, that was the same thing that the dog devoted his life to. They couldn’t pay attention to the dog because they were at work at that’s not their job. It’s a poorly trained dog, keep it away from So Dakota and stop blaming the victims.

@LilahTovMoon security paranoia synergizes well with the fact that no one wants to hear JD speak.
Secret Service: "Sir, in order to fully secure this venue, we need to remove 300 seats from the front."
JD: "That shouldn't be a problem."
SS: "Also, we will need to prevent anyone from sitting in the mezzanine level."
JD: "Go right ahead."
SS: "and..."
JD: ✋️ "we both know only 12 people are coming to this thing."

Michael Gemar@LilahTovMoon @KamalaHarrisWin To be fair, his solution to school shootings is pretty much to surround every school with bulletproof glass and give each a bunch of armed guards.
Darwin Woodka@michaelgemar @LilahTovMoon @KamalaHarrisWin
we could just surround every Republican with bulletproof glass and seal the boxes shut then the Dems can pass sensible gun laws
Sandrew 
@michaelgemar @LilahTovMoon @KamalaHarrisWin Are you being sarcastic?
Like almost every other country you could restrict firearms (remember your 2nd amendment is an amendment, a change to your constitution & could be tweaked again).
It's crazy that the USA requires a licence to drive but not for a gun.

@LilahTovMoon what a cowardly piece of shite!

econads@econads @LilahTovMoon in the case of the pope it's actually 3" and an antmosphere-independent rebreather with oxygen supply for three days.
Neil Craig@LilahTovMoon If I felt like I was that much of a target and was in the USA, I think I might ask for bullet-proof glass at the back too. Seems like something of an omission...
Veedems@LilahTovMoon the quote is a little out of context.

JD Vance says he laments that school shootings are a 'fact of life' and calls for better security
Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance says he laments that school shootings are a “fact of life" and the U.S. needs to harden security to prevent more carnage like the shooting this week that left four dead in Georgia. The Ohio senator said at a rally Thursday in Phoenix that gun control doesn't stop shootings. He says “psychos” recognize schools are soft targets where they can get attention. Vance says Americans “don't have to like the reality that we live in” but it needs to be recognized and dealt with. He called the shooting in Georgia an “awful tragedy" and said the community deserves prayers and sympathy.
@veedems @LilahTovMoon he doesn’t care. His kids are protected.
Estarriol, Terrorist Dragon@LilahTovMoon and by the looks of it, not a very large crowd either....
BT@LilahTovMoon Kinda hard to care about the kids since they're already born. They couldn't give less of a shit whether they're fed, safe or well taken care of the moment you're a part of the world unless they're making them money.

Kraftwerk-Das Model Collapse@LilahTovMoon I suppose the idea is that if you can't afford this level of security you deserve what's coming for you
Von Xylofon@dngrs @LilahTovMoon Precisely. It's a fact of life and he's dealt with it.
Chris Ferguson@LilahTovMoon waiting for someone to come out and say “we don’t have a gun problem, we have a school problem”.
Venita@theferg @LilahTovMoon That's coming. Public education is the problem. Privatize K-12 and hire private security companies.
Tyler Stone 
@venitamathias @theferg @LilahTovMoon Yep, Venita’s right. They don’t want to control guns regardless of the consequences, and in this case making public schooling look dangerous as compared to private schools and home schooling is a bonus.
B-Sizzle 
@LilahTovMoon I wonder if we pull the statistics, how many of these mass shooters were in a well regulated militia? 🤔
Ariaflame@LilahTovMoon They're not a fact of life where I live.

This says everything about today’s Republicans: need protection from their own supporters…
Siegfried.@LilahTovMoon How can you feel safe, knowing someone in your neighborhood is trying to protect himself by carrying a gun?
Mike@LilahTovMoon I think that's the most dystopian photo I've ever seen
Davip Prestnod@Subumbral @LilahTovMoon it's a grim reality though part of me wants to know the side quest / story of the guy on the horizon with body armour and kinda cowboy hat on with his sniper rifle on the tripod, maybe he's the hero or something in an unconnected way. That or I have been reading more comic books of late and that wouldn't be just a security guy but maybe Batman's nemesis / frenemy / bff.
@david_preston I wonder why they don't expect anything from above or behind
@Subumbral that's true, when Clinton was in Belfast in 98 I think he was in something similar but smaller and I have a feeling it was encased.
@david_preston I think it would be safer as a hermetically sealed soundproof booth, but what do I know.
Doreen32128 ready to rumble!@LilahTovMoon He IS weird!
Truth Seeker@LilahTovMoon His mouth is moving but NRA-funded words are coming out. His standing behind bulletproof glass is no different from the NRA banning guns at their conventions. It’s “protection for me but not for thee.”
@LilahTovMoon Once again the gop prove how cowardly they are.
Maria Liv ✏️@LilahTovMoon I mean… Are they really the world’s most capable bodyguards though? Hm…
dild0baggins@LilahTovMoon will I get banned if I say it should be a fact of life for him specifically

Before I'd seen this, I simply would not have gone so far as to describe the man as stupid.
Now I'm fully convinced he's not only stupid, he thinks we are stupider than he is.
Think again stupid!
Nicklas Johnson 🏳️🌈@LilahTovMoon
Every time that buffoon opens his mouth something stupid leaks out of it.
George@LilahTovMoon Personally, I would force the children or grandchildren of every republican member of Congress to attend public schools and be exposed to some wack job with a thing for mass shootings, just so they can live in our shoes for once.

CohenTheBlue@LilahTovMoon Seems likely that the increase in security Vance is referring to is for pumping government money to the surveillance software companies his daddy Thiel and others like him run.
