We presume that every president has been the target of assassination attempts. And they find out about them, which is why they agree to the insane level of security surrounding them. The difference here is that two gunmen got within range of the president and a third shot him.
Kyle Smith@rkylesmith

Hilarious that the left is going with “Obama was almost a victim of assassination too!” as their lead talking point. Yeah those bullets fired at the White House in 2011 only missed him by 3000 miles

I DONT KNOW IF ANY OF THIS IS TRUE BECAUSE NOTHING SHORT OF THE FUCKING LUDOVICO TECHNIQUE COULD GET ME TO WATCH THE DRAMA BUT IT DOES REMIND ME OF MY FAVORITE INSTANCE OF DIRECTOR COWARDICE: THE 2000 "LEAVE BILL ALONE!" POLITICAL THRILLER (HAHAHA) THE CONTENDER. BEAR WITNESS:
Park MacDougald@hpmcd1

You have to think of the "mass shooting" as a kind of cancellation "safe horny." It's an implausible MacGuffin to get the plot rolling so the filmmakers can explore the social dynamics of a lib couple in which one of the members is 'cancelled'—a real and probably fairly widespread dynamic among members of the New Yorker class over the past decade. The more damning tell about the whole scenario being fake—and the greater sin against artistic integrity—is that it's the girl who's being 'cancelled,' when everyone with a pulse understands the gender dynamics around this sort of thing. Even within the class of people the movie is intended to depict, it's very rare that a straight man or his male friends would give a shit about this sort of thing beyond seeing it as a sort of curiosity. Especially abt something that could so easily be spun as an issue of "mental health" or "trauma" or whatever. Obviously this film is trying to depict is the fallout caused by a MAN being vaguely right-wing or antivax or otherwise "problematic" circa peak woke, but it can't be honest about that—because in that case, he would DESERVE it—and so has to turn it into some meta exploration of abstract "social dynamics" that makes no fucking sense because it isn't grounded in any reality that any real people live in... Sad!

@ZODIAC_MF Ah, the ol’ “There weren’t any witches in Salem, but if there WERE, it would’ve been GREAT, so let’s market our entire town’s tourist industry on witchcraft and occult shit and shame you for thinking it’s bad and anti-feminist in any way.”

Interesting argument that the American Revolution succeeded bc they debated the Constitution behind closed doors and the French Revolution failed bc they did everything in public. Transparency isn’t a virtue in all times and places! See, Congress.

Still sad that we aren't getting a high-budget Revolutionary War TV series for 250. Not happy with how little fanfare there is about this.

Disney's greatest modern achievement is making star wars fans like me completely apathetic I've read over 150 novels, played 20+ video games, thousands of comics, seen the movies probably 50 times each I dont know or care when the grogu movie comes out. I won't be watching it.

GOD, musing. “What if I humiliated a guy in his profession before the world, but in such a way to save a guy with a brain tumor and possibly other lives as well” ANGEL. “Lord, I know You work in mysterious ways, but gotta say, kinda messed up” GOD. “You like the Giants, right?”

Giants kicker Younghoe Koo missing the ball on his field goal attempt made @marktoothaker laugh so hard it triggered a seizure that may have saved his life. The incredible story ahead of @spendthriftfarm's Further Ado running in the Kentucky Derby: apnews.com/article/kentuc…

@Marcstout2 @redsteeze You just have to go through trump's social account to see how much decency he displays. He is the cause. Obama triggered the right wingers much that you elected a fucking psychopath. Twice!

An underrated point but people should really go back and watch the Comedy Central roast of Donald Trump. It was all fun and games until it wasn't. x.com/mister_irony/s…

I live in a dark blue state, and I know I shouldn’t be shocked, but I was in mixed company with casual acquaintances, and one of them made a comment about “what happened Saturday“ and expressed disappointment… At first I didn’t realize what they were talking about, but then the person repeated it and then a couple other people in the group nodded approvingly and made approving comments, and I realized that it’s actually an extremely mainstream view amongst Democrats that Donald Trump should be assassinated and killed

@xwanyex if it BOTH isn't worth the cost AND leads to the public in a democracy rejecting it and demanding its repeal, it didn't work.

“Doesn’t work” and “not worth the cost” are not equivalent assessments. I don’t think this is a trivial or useless distinction. I think it matters a lot and the former framing has done a lot of harm.
Dilan Esper@dilanesper

Prohibition "didn't work" in the same way the Vietnam War "didn't work". Yes, if we wanted to continue having gangland murders in Chicago, payoffs to gangsters in major cities, whack-a-mole on speakeasies, and criminalization of normies, we could have continued Prohibition.

If this same “joke” was made about Michelle Obama, it’d be a national scandal and there wouldn’t be a pool big enough to contain the tears shed on CNN. Everyone knows it. That’s what makes this so stupid.
The Drunk Republican@DrunkRepub

You’d think Laura Bush or Michelle Obama would come to Melania’s defense here. Some things should just be universally out of bounds. But alas not a peep because everything they claim to believe in, such as supporting other women, is purely performative. Ghouls in human skin.

Jimmy Kimmel’s joke was objectively gross. He’s got the right to make it. ABC can do what they want as well. But the worst part of this is watching pearl-clutching journalists act as if they wouldn’t be screaming bloody murder if Greg Gutfeld said that about Michelle Obama.

The attempts to assassinate President Trump have resulted in 1 death, 2 people wounded, and 1 Secret Service agent shot The assassination attempts on Obama were not anything like this. Stop bullshitting people.
