FBI investigating apparent assassination attempt on Trump in Florida

The FBI said it “is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination” of Donald Trump at his Florida golf club. Trump was not harmed in the incident.

The Secret Service had spotted a rifle barrel sticking out of a fence and agents fired at a man who was in the bushes along the perimeter, according to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw. The suspect fled in a car and was detained after being stopped on the highway.

This is probably very immature and illiterate from my part because some of my twitter friends / oomfies were / are part of the dropout boycott thing and I do get their frustrations with dropout but after the shitshow that was that fuckass man's reelection there's a part of me that is frustrated that people will just direct all their energy towards pushing a company with progressive tendancies to condemn the zionists they "platformed" when a literal fascist was about to take power once again and pretty much threatening the whole world.

Like let me be clear. Israel's fucking evil and committing a genocide for nearly 80 years now. Palestine and Palestinians should and will be free. There's no denying that. And those who deny it are the scum of the earth. I'm really appreciative of everyone helping Palestinians in any way they could, and i'm still giving to godfundmes and campaigns whenever I can. And on the other hand, Zionists (in all shapes and forms) are the scum of the earth and should not be respected.

But my thing is : when you're staring in the face of straight up neonazism, with the misogyny, transphobia, LGBTQphobia, racism that comes with it... it feels extremely pointless and a bit absurd to direct all your attention and energy to boycott a company who, for all their flaws (and they do have a lot), are juggling with both the essence of being a company and their drive to support marginalized people in all shape and forms, just because some of their collaborators, regular or not, have said some shitty Zionist things. Part of me does get it, the frustration and the breaking point, especially from POCs, but after the elections... was it really the bigger fish guys ? Was it all worth the effort and anger to in the end get a milquetoast statement saying what we already knew but in a watered-down PR language ? And then barely 48h after the most dangerous man in the world gets back into power again ?

Like... I don't know. It might be because i've been slowly falling into a depressive episode and ultimately my anger is quite meaningless too because it's just fandom shit but with hindsight, that dropout boycott just felt like fans guiltripping one another while ignoring the obvious immediate danger. Once again, I know those fans have already done a lot for Palestinians and marginalized people overall, because I follow a lot of them firsthand, and I really don't want to diminish their efforts, but as someone who is not USAmerican but has seen some IRL friends directly suffer from Trump's disgusting foreign and internal policies... You guys focused on the wrong thing this time. I get why you did but also I hope you understand it wasn't really worth it.

Anyways, @ all USAmericans who follow me : please take care, because I'm fully aware this is a scary situation <3 Peace and love guys

Hey, figured I'd just mention this. At the time that Trump was shot, I was at work and couldn't check my phone. No information was known about the shooter. But I heard several people say that the Democrats were evil and clearly behind trying to kill Trump.

The Right is going to use this as an opportunity to rally people to Trump's side. After all, someone just tried to kill him. Clearly he is the victim in all of this. Clearly he should win the election because he nearly died.

I don't care about the memes at the moment because the Right is going to use that to say that the Left is violent and were clearly behind it. It won't matter if this was a lone actor. There are many people that are already convinced that this was the work of Democrats with zero information.

So, please remember go vote Blue all the way down. There are going to be a rush of people voting for Trump out of a sympathy for him.

Just so you know, I'm on the good side with y'all. I do not want this presidency, this tyranny, and I'm ashamed that the Republican running mate is from Ohio.

Look. All I’m saying is maybe if they used the Splatoon gun things would be different,

[lady-caden]

Feel extremely disheartened today. Still cannot believe this is happening

[sunken-standard]

I just had my first cigarette in over 11 years. I'm very disappointed in myself, but also relieved because it did nothing for me and tasted like shit. I also have a mild headache now, which serves me right.

In other news, I'm up to 1.5mg of lorazepam for the day and it ain't doin' shit either. I want to peel my skin off.

[blunderpuff]

disgusted and frustrated and disgusted again with all the non-USA Jews on instagram who are both sides-ing the shit out the us election and leaning heavily into "don't vote democrat"

YOU ARE SO FUCKING STUPID AND SELF-CENTERED AND DID I MENTION STUPID AND PRIVILEGED AND ALSO STUPID!

Today in the afterlife:

The eggs got to go to the QSMP as ghosts and just haunt around! Mumza lets them go every once in a while since it can get boring in their little house with the TV.

Bobby went to his castle while Trump went to try and find Maximus. Tilin and Juanaflippa stayed together for most of their trip, but split up halfway since Tilin wanted to see how Quackity was holding up. So Juanaflippa just wandered around the place looking for something interesting or fun happening.

She sees Missa and Chayanne and decides to follow them since they’re fuckin far from spawn. Then she sees the sign Chayanne put about them, and something kinda connects that for all Chayanne knows, they’re never seeing each other again.

Juanaflippa tries to give him a hug and then leaves back to the house, she doesn’t feel like exploring anymore.

In a craven, pathetic, cynical, and transparently desperate ploy to energize his torpid 2024 campaign and match his rival Desantis, Twice-Impeached Ex-President Trump has shuffled out of his Florida tanning tank to join the gibbering chorus of Far-Right trans-panic by releasing a video on Truth Social. The full statement amounts to a hate-ridden, incendiary rant that proposes nationwide federal action that would threaten the health and well-being of trans people, in particular trans children, and will use the law to enforce a rigid, hetero-normative, cisgender social order.

You can watch the full video here on Forbes  if you choose to. I advise against it, personally. The years since his removal from public office and most social media seems to have had atrophied my tolerance. It’s probably why I was somehow shocked at how a video less than four minutes long can cram so much ignorance, falsehoods, hateful invective, and unhinged demagoguery in such a short period of time.

Pages of ink could be spilled breaking down every ranting tangent, from threats to prosecute doctors and hospitals providing gender affirming care, the distasteful novelty of calling trans children mutants,  inventing a conspiracy of pharmaceutical companies selling unsafe hormones and puberty blockers to children, and proposes using the federal government to “promote” aka enforce “positive education of the nuclear family” and the “role of mothers and fathers,” sprinkled with some good old fashioned sex-based bio-essentialism.

The crescendo, the real red meat dripping with bloody doctrine, is at the end:

“I will ask congress to pass a bill establishing that the only genders recognized by the United States Government are male and female and they are assigned at birth.”

“The Bill will also make clear that Title 9 prohibits men from participating in womens’ sports and we will protect the rights of parents from being forced to allow their minor child to assume a gender which is new and an identity without the parents’ consent. The identity will not be new and it will not be without parental consent.”

“No serious country should be telling its children that they were born with the wrong gender, a concept that was never heard of in all of human history - nobody’s ever heard of this, what’s happening today - it was all when the radical left invented it just a few years ago.”

He ends it all with a chilling conclusion. “Under my leadership, this madness will end.”

I’ve done my best since his departure from office to avoid talking about this sad orange failure puttering around his private golf course while lawsuits and legal investigations pile around him. But I’ve heard little mainstream discussion of this announcement; how Far-Right transphobic rhetoric is being elevated to the level of presidential politics.

While Trump was never friendly to the LGBTQ community, he was also prone to mocking the likes of Pence for his desire of wanting to “hang the gays.” Did his Administration do harm to the queer community? Yes, undeniably so. But to me it felt obligatory, with little energy or drive behind it, as Trump ultimately didn’t care. The callous apathy of an incurious narcissist.

Now, whether he believes the nonsense he’s spewing or not, Trump sees that the Republican base has been driven to a mad fervor over the existence of trans folks. So, like the cynical, amoral opportunist he is, he will regurgitate the vile hateful garbage his speechwriters feed him for political and financial gain.

Whether he gets the nomination or not, this announcement will set the tone for the entire Republican presidential primary of 2024.

I legitimately feel insane rn

[milo-is-rambling]

Sometimes this -> :)))) is just not strong enough for what I mean

[oldtvandcomics]

And now imagine all this, but you are living somewhere that is NOT the US. Like...

"The Americans are at it again."

Pretty much like now, only more absurd, somehow. Always nice to have a reminder that it COULD be more absurd.

DC Twitter must have been INSANE when it got out that Superboy’s dads were Superman and Lex Luthor. Holy shit. The memes. The ship wars. The homophobes. The mpreg jokes. People would have lost their fucking minds. Lex Luthor releases a statement like “he’s a clone of me and Superman no birth was involved” and people are like KINDA GAY OF YOU TO HAVE A SON WITH ANOTHER MAN, LUTHOR. Lexcorp’s PR team locks themselves in a conference room and refuses to come out for love or money.
