#637 This so called assassination attempt is FAKE NEWS
TODAY: As more information about Trump’s attempted assassination comes out, the right wing asks: are politics getting more unhealthy? What if Barron Trump were in attendance and was scarred for life and vowed to eradicate the liberal menace once and for all? What would Hawk Tuah have to say about this moment? Would anyone listen to her? We also check in on liberals posting Alex Jones style false-flag conspiracies en masse, and can’t find it in our hearts to fault them for it.

And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
Woke Secret Service is responsible and we're documenting it.
What's up everybody?
It is your episode for the week.
Lots of thing to talk about today.
Lots of thing, well put.
We are going to be spinning this episode going over the continued Both reaction and release of information around the apparent assassination attempt of Donald Trump yesterday.
So we did a live react to it.
We did a live episode basically all about the immediate reactions.
to it on Death Chat yesterday.
You can watch that stream at MinionDeathCult or sorry, youtube.com slash MinionDeathCult or twitch.tv slash MinionDeathCult.
It was also pushed into the podcast feed, so you could have listened to that already.
And I'm just being redundant here.
You know that we got we got a lot of good responses in that episode, you know, like grown men commenting Uh, here Libby, Libby, Libby.
Yep.
Come out to play.
They didn't even do the Warriors part.
They just did like the Elmer Fudd part.
Also, it was open season on Libtards, I believe.
Less stuff like that in this episode.
This is basically what I've been seeing.
So I wasn't aiming to get anything specifically, but I found so many interesting threads.
And I did want to read from the newest reporting from the AP.
They have confirmed the identity Of the guy who apparently tried to assassinate Trump.
Uh, his name is... Thomas Matthew Crooks, which is who everybody was saying yesterday, but I didn't want to repeat that because you never, you never know.
Like I think...
The New York Post reported that it was a Chinese guy.
There was another shit poster on Twitter who said it was him and started posting selfies of him next to the next to the shooters like next to whatever photo they had of the shooter.
More on that later.
But yeah, the AP is reporting that it is Thomas Massey Cook, who is a 20-year-old nursing home employee from suburban Pittsburgh, who is also a registered Republican who packed explosives in the vehicle he drove to the campaign rally an hour from his home.
All right.
All right.
So we, I mean, we did kind of, we did kind of call that one.
I think, I think we accurately predicted that one.
Which, which part of it?
That it was a Republican who was just like embittered with Trump?
Okay, I don't know.
Maybe you're not familiar with how insane American politics are.
Just because somebody is a registered Republican doesn't mean they also didn't donate $15 to a pro-Biden super PAC in 2020.
We don't know anything about this guy, really.
That's true.
That's very true.
You know, I don't, I don't, it sounds like, from other things that I was reading, uh, it sounds like he was bullied a shit ton.
Uh, and he was bullied, I think, for being like a, like, culturally conservative.
Like, he was a hunter, I think, and he would wear his, he would wear his hunting clothes to school, and people would make fun of him.
Again, from what I was reading, I don't have that link in front of me.
It could be totally incorrect, but it makes sense to me.
You're registered Republican when you turn 18 because you live in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, and that's what you do when you vote for the first time when you're 18.
But then, I don't know, went crazy somewhere along the way and started supporting Biden, and then went farther off from there.
So you're saying that this might have been done on behalf of Biden?
Very well could have been.
Not just an anti-Trump thing, but really a pro-Biden thing.
Yeah, I think so.
I mean, it's, you know, maybe he couldn't afford 15 bucks this year.
Yeah, I mean, he saw all those stickers saying that Biden did that, and he was into it.
Law enforcement officials were working Sunday to learn more about Thomas Matthew Crooks in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania to determine what motivated him to open fire on the rally from a nearby rooftop, killing one spectator.
Apparently the guy who died was a retired fire captain who, according to his family, died shielding them from gunfire.
Dang.
So, incredible act of heroism on that guy's part.
Seems like he saved his family.
R.I.P.
The FBI said Sunday it has not yet identified any underlying ideology or threatening writing or social media posts from Crooks, who graduated from high school two years ago and had no past criminal cases against him, according to public court records.
The FBI said it believes Crooks acted alone.
Yeah, and people are taking his lack of social media presence as a conspiracy in and of itself.
Like he was engineered in a CIA lab like he was grown as a fully formed 18 year old or something like that and just you know raised for those two years on anti-Trump propaganda.
They're like, I don't see any videos of him doing TikTok dances, so he's probably not real.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Where is the audio of him saying the N-word?
You want me to believe this Pittsburgh teenager is a real guy?
Show me his Call of Duty logs.
But he hasn't been caught calling someone the hard R on a stream on chat roulette.
he has that if it hasn't happened he's not real uh do do do crooks graduated from bethel park high school in 2020 In a video of the school's graduation ceremony posted online, Crooks can be seen crossing the stage to receive his diploma, appearing slight of build and wearing glasses.
The school district said it will cooperate fully with investigators.
His senior year, Crooks was among several students given an award for math and science, according to a Tribune review story at the time.
Crooks tried out for the school's rifle team, but was turned away because he was a bad shooter, said Frederick Mach, a current captain of the team who was a few years behind Crooks at the school.
Brutal.
Incredible!
Incredible.
Everybody's saying, oh, the reason he tried to kill Trump is because the media said Trump was Hitler.
No, actually, the reason this kid tried to kill Trump is because the kid was Hitler.
He was a failed artist.
He didn't get it.
He didn't get into the gun club, and he wanted to prove everybody wrong.
And he really stepped in it pretty big, to be honest.
Yeah, that's brutal.
That's rough.
You're just trying to prove one thing, and you prove them right so famously, so in the public eye.
That's rough.
Yeah, it's the war boy saying to Immortan Joe, witness me, and then flubbing the transition to the other car or whatever.
Exactly, yeah.
That's what happened here, folks.
And here's the reporting I was talking about.
Jason Kohler, who said he attended the same high school but did not share any classes with Crooks, said Crooks was bullied at school and sat alone at lunchtime.
Other students mocked him for the clothes he wore, which included hunting outfits, Kohler said.
Quote, he was bullied almost every day, Kohler told reporters.
Quote, he was just an outcast.
And you know how kids are nowadays.
Uh, so we got another, we got another bullying for Columbine on our hands, folks.
Damn.
Uh, he was just, he was just bullied a little too much.
Nobody listened to him, and that's why he shot the president.
That's wild.
I mean, I, I, I, it's just funny cause, I don't know, doesn't, doesn't that correlate in one particular kind of shooting?
Like, I'm sure it makes it, it results in kind of a bummer person, but.
Well, he.
To be like, to, to tell the bullies like, hey, you did this.
Yeah, maybe the bullies were Trump voters, and he's like, I'm gonna get them all.
I'm gonna take out the head vampire.
Yeah, I guess Trump did, like, encourage bullying.
It's just funny, like, oh, so you were miserable at high school because your bullies tormented you every day, and you didn't do a school shooting?
Like, I'm not saying that's the one you should have done.
Obviously not.
Never do a school shooting.
Do you think he was just, like, stewing every year after he graduated?
Like, fuck, I could have done it.
Now they're all, like, in different colleges and shit.
No, because that's what I'm saying.
The thing about that is, like, the bullying at the school and stuff like that.
Like, they'll just go to, like, another school.
They'll go back to the school they graduated from.
That doesn't bother them.
You know?
It's funny, they're talking about that so much.
on a different type of shooting.
Like this is like, I mean, regardless of his intentions, this is like a political act.
You know? - Everything is political, Tony.
Every act is political.
Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger told AP on Sunday that Crooks had been previously unknown to investigators in his county and had not been on their radar.
So we're not getting the typical At least from the FBI that I've seen, well, they were on our radar.
We just, uh, we pushed them a little too hard and then forgot about them.
Uh, we're not seeing that currently from the FBI.
So that, that in and of itself is, is interesting.
Um, other reporting from the AP that just came out, which was pretty interesting to me said, Not not long before shots rang out, rally goers noticed a man climbing to the roof of a nearby building and warned local police, according to two law enforcement officials.
One local police, which we had heard.
We talked about this on the stream.
The guy in the Trump visor with fake orange spiked, you know, like bowling rock hair coming out of the top of it.
Ginger Guy Fieri was saying we pointed we pointed at the guy and the cops like rolled their eyes um there's more to this now because one apparently according to AP one local police officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks who pointed his rifle at the officer The officer retreated down the ladder and Crooks quickly took a shot towards Trump.
And that's when Secret Service snipers shot him, said the officials who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.
So this is on background.
Nobody's attaching their name to this information yet.
So it could be bullshit.
Yeah.
What happens to that to that cop?
Is that cop fired?
Did that cop almost let Trump die?
Did that cop let people die?
There's two things here because it seems like the cop going up there made the kid rush the shot.
Yes.
Yeah.
So even though the cop didn't shoot the kid, I think it's plausible to say that him just like sticking his head above the, he's like, Hey, what's going on here?
Was enough to like thwart a clean shot.
I don't, but yeah, it is very funny that a cop was up there with a fucking rogue sniper on the roof and was like, just like spun around and put his hat back on and went back down the stairs.
It's pretty good. - Yeah, that definitely makes sense.
Like you said, if you rush the shot, that makes a lot more sense.
But I do feel like if this kid was bullied much younger for not being good shot, And he got to this point, I'm sure he was like, training his ass off.
Probably shooting a lot.
And he's probably even, he would have been even triple bummed because he has, no one's gonna believe him.
No one's gonna believe he really was a good shot.
He's been working on it.
So sad.
No one's ever gonna believe it.
Yeah.
Yeah, he was doing like the Travis Bickle routine in his apartment.
Yeah, so anyway, very interesting reporting.
Also, Ani made a good point yesterday, just like, it's funny that the guy in the visor, and I think you made it too, Tony.
The guy in the visor was like shocked that the police didn't take his orders.
He was like shocked that the cops didn't give a fuck about what he had to say at all.
Yeah, it made no sense to him.
Because he was very much like, no, this is like, you're supposed to...
Supposed to do it.
You know what they should have done?
They should have said black guy on the roof.
Right.
There's a black guy on the roof.
But then they would have just probably killed some black guy who was around.
Yeah, I think they were like, oh, there's a weird school shooter looking motherfucker on the top of the roof and every cop in the vicinity wet their pants.
The guy with the visor said, he said, we were pointing, we were saying crawler, crawler.
And it's like, yeah, that's not gonna, that's not gonna work.
That's crawler is not the best way to go about it.
So other interesting things I've learned since we did our episode yesterday, uh, is that there's a photo of one of the bullets whizzing by Trump's head.
Oh, they got caught in 4k, huh?
This is like the New York Times who published this, so I'm gonna believe it until it's debunked.
There's a photo, yeah, you can see like the visually, what do you call it, like a bullet appearing to stretch farther because of the frame rate, you know, the camera operates at.
It's like a stretched bullet right over Trump's shoulder.
It's nuts.
It's, it reminds me of, um, I'm trying to remember where I saw it.
I think it was, did you ever watch like that?
The Matrix.
Reminds me of the Matrix.
Kind of, but in the Matrix, the bullets are moving slower.
So they're all kind of the regular size.
That's how Trump saw it.
He saw it at this speed and that's why he was able to only get some shrapnel.
Hmm.
Do you know that there's like that guy, I think it's either, I think it's Louis Theroux, who's like a sort of investigative journalist and he does stories on weird people or fringe movements.
I think it was maybe him.
I was watching some like TV episode about these people who believed in four dimensional rods.
Uh huh.
Because there was, there were photos like this that they had taken where the photograph itself like, you know, alters the reality of what's actually happening.
And they were convinced that there were like 4D interdimensional, possibly intelligent rods who could come in and out of our world.
And this whole time, like you're seeing photographs and you're like, wow, okay, that's a weird looking thing.
That's a weird looking thing.
You know, it'd be like a camping photograph, but there's like a crazy, almost a digital looking thing on the screen.
Right?
Yeah.
And by the end of the episode, you just figure out that they're photographing insects really close to the camera.
Awesome.
But that's anyway, that's what this stretched out bullet reminds me of.
That's the realest shit ever, though, is someone seeing a camera not able to properly grasp reality and be like, oh, they're actually grasping a reality.
They're capturing a reality that we can't comprehend.
Yeah.
It's even bigger than us.
I love that type of optimism.
Okay.
So this, so I wanted to go through some, some memes and some trends I've seen here.
And I wanted to start with this, this meme that was kind of interesting to me.
Uh, it's the Simpson say the line Bart meme and it's, um, everybody with common sense looking at, you know, you and it's, uh, says say the line lefty and then Bart is labeled the left.
And he says, it was staged.
And then the class erupts and, you know, giddiness or laughter or whatever.
Uh, so I thought this was interesting because it is not only the left who's saying that this was staged.
Yes.
Um, we say, we say it was staged.
I do believe it was staged by the Biden administration so that they would have another excuse to have lost the 2024 election when they lose.
They'll say, we did everything right.
We prosecuted foreign policy perfectly.
We respected the will of the voters.
It was just that dang assassination attempt, you know?
Yeah, the universe had bigger plans.
It just looked so cool.
We couldn't fight that.
Even my mom, my mom was talking, she's visiting my cousins.
And I guess, and they're pretty, like, conservative.
And I guess they were all like, yeah, it doesn't seem real, right?
It has to be staged.
Like, none of it makes sense.
And it's funny, because my mom's, like, not very conspiracy heavy.
So yeah, but everyone thinks it's staged.
Everyone that came into the bar last night, everyone had to ask about it.
You see what happened?
What do you think?
What do you think?
Do you think it was real?
I don't think it was real.
Yeah, so I, you know, I don't really think it was staged.
No.
But...
Like, yeah, you have to like, I mean, from a lay person's, from a, from a, I don't know, a political observer, it's just like, well, this was immensely beneficial to Trump and his campaign.
So sure.
Why not?
Like that's like, that's how, that's how anybody is viewing reality right now is that everything is a conspiracy outside of our control.
And the best way to like ascertain who is responsible is just to say, well, who benefits from it?
And that's honestly like not necessarily a bad way to go about, uh, you know, prosecuting for the truth.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
My mom even went on to say like, Oh, he's, he's, he's won now.
He's it's in the bag.
Right.
And like, that goes to my conspiracy theory.
That's why Biden did it is because now Biden's off the hook.
Exactly.
And now he gets to be the loser that he wants to be because we've known they want to be losers.
They don't want to win this one.
Well, he wants to show you how it's done, how you actually turn over the keys of power, you know, nonviolently and diplomatically and prove what a better man he is than Trump.
But yeah, so on the right, they're saying it's staged because they think by staged, they mean that it was a real assassination attempt that was like allowed to happen.
Yes.
Um, kind of the same way they believed January 6th was like a cool thing, but the cops shouldn't have allowed it.
And that's why it's a conspiracy theory is because the cops didn't kill everybody there when it happened.
But in this case, the cool thing that happened was Trump getting almost assassinated, which they do actually think is cool, which they do think is a good thing, you know?
Totally.
If you don't have haters, you're not doing it right.
You know?
Yeah.
But it makes sense to be like, why the fuck- aren't rooftops like- aren't secret service like the rooftop experts?
Yeah.
Like, why was there a rooftop where nobody was?
That's a valid question.
Another thing is, a guy saw him fucking scurrying up the fire escape like a squirrel and was like, hey, you want to go look over there?
And the cop was like, nah.
Well, I guess they said no at first, and then they eventually went.
And that's when things popped off.
No, I mean, it does make sense, though, because, like, I've only seen, like, a couple women on roofs in my day.
And if you've got a woman running the Secret Service, you know, that leaves the roofs obsessed.
I can only think of, like, three women in my life I've seen on roofs.
But I can think of countless men from when I was roofing.
Yeah.
So, it's like, statistically, I feel like, yeah, having a woman leading the Secret Service left the roofs vulnerable.
Yeah.
My, uh, my women are always inside the house.
That's why you can't ever see them.
That's why you haven't seen them on the roof is because they just stay inside.
They're on the ceiling somehow, but they're not on the roof.
Um, but I thought it was interesting because it's interesting to me to think about the conspiracy theory from the perspective of the right, because I'm like, well, what is this conspiracy theory that they, that the elites wanted to assassinate Trump because he's too dangerous or whatever.
Who still believes that?
Trump was president for four fucking years and governed mostly as a right-wing Republican.
Yeah.
What power did he get too close to?
He fucking made friends with Saudi Arabia, Israel.
Yeah.
Let the CIA do their thing?
It's very funny to me to think that, like, because there is a hatred of Trump among the elites, right?
Quote, among some of the elites.
The democratic elites, the liberal cultural elites or whatever.
Some wealthy people hate Trump.
Do they hate Trump enough to, like, do something?
Like, are their lives going to be on the line if Trump gets re-elected?
Not at all.
No, they'll be better.
They'll do better.
None of that shit will touch them for the most part.
And also, if they do decide to do it, they're elites.
They would have done a better job at it.
They can afford it.
That's a good point.
But yeah, it just doesn't make sense to me that there would be a democratic, a genuine democratic effort to kill Trump.
Like, Trump again is one of the best things to happen to the Democratic Party, even though he made them eat shit, made them look like losers.
In 2016, they still became the resistance.
They became the party of women, the party of minorities.
They fundraised the hell out of it.
They wanted him to be the opponent, and they still want him to be the opponent.
Exactly.
That's my logic for why they want to lose, because you can fundraise so much more when he's in office.
It just, I, you know, I understand like everybody having to come up with their own, I don't know, you know, way of understanding the world or whatever, but it's just like, no, the Secret Service is cops, man.
And like, cops fuck up.
I don't know what, that's like the obvious, the obvious answer to me, frankly.
Yeah, next time you're getting mad at cops, remember, you know, they fuck up, okay?
They're just humans.
They're just humans.
For now, but, ah, God.
Why is there not a robot cop program yet?
Yeah, or like some sort of super soldier program, you know, like a, like a, like a Vought type serum that we can give our police.
I mean, I know we have steroids and I know a lot of them are already on steroids, which is great, but there's gotta be something better.
I truly believe that the government is keeping... What is Wolverine made out of?
Adamantium.
Adamantium, yeah.
I think they have that.
And I think it can go in your body.
I think you're just denying us of it.
They have adamantium.
They're not willing to use it.
And they also have vibranium, but they don't want us to know about it.
Exactly.
If we get them to acknowledge the vibranium, then we can put it in our cops.
Actually, we don't want you to know about it.
Or the Vibranium.
Because it's from Wakanda?
Yeah.
It's our secret black stuff.
We gave Kendrick some, but we didn't give Drake any.
Not like you guys, right?
Thank you.
Thank you for doing it correctly.
Okay, so last thing I'll say about this meme.
It's just funny.
Say the line.
Lefty.
The left.
It was staged.
Like, that's not the left's line.
That's the right wing's.
That's very clearly the right wing's line.
But they have a point here, because if you go into Democratic spaces or have Democratic friends or family, like Tony and I do, like Tony was just alluding to, yes, all the Democrats are saying this was staged.
In Fannie Willis supporters, Sally Flanders Gustafson says, there's definitely more to this story than we're being told.
Debbie says, exactly.
Julie says, I'm 99% of Democrats.
I'm sure 99% of Democrats are thinking that.
Yes, they are.
Like you are.
Just like you're doing.
Yep.
So maybe the whole country's kind of feeling that way?
Yep.
Well, these people aren't like saying Trump supporters are saying it.
It's funny to see Democrats admit, oh yeah, this is fake.
Yeah.
Admit that they think this is fake.
Joe Simmental says, it was staged, don't fall for it.
Six exclamation points Tim Breesley says yes bunker boy would have started crying if it was real That is how I knew it was fake as well is because Donald Trump didn't poop his pants.
He didn't pee his pants He didn't cum or fart And he didn't you know, he didn't do the thing where he puts his hands on his face and screams Yeah, he put his shoes on for God's sake.
That's how you know it was fake.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Bunker Boy, because yeah, Draft Dodger could never do this.
Yeah, Bunker Boy, I think he was like what he was hiding in a bunker or something.
They were really saying he was doing that.
Oh yeah, it during January 6.
No, that wasn't it.
When was he in the bunker, Tony?
He was hiding in the bunker.
Maybe there was like a bomb threat or something and he.
He went into the bunker like a little bitch.
I forgot about him going in the bunker.
I don't remember that.
There was something about a bunker.
Is that where he went when he had COVID?
Let me see.
Trump.
Bunker.
Trump took shelter in White House bunker as protests raged.
Here we go.
This is from 2020.
May 3rd, May 31st.
Oh cool, so it wasn't even January 6th.
That's even cooler.
Yeah, because hundreds of protesters gathered outside the executive mansion, some throwing rocks and tugging at police barricades.
Okay, that's cool.
If I were a Democrat, I would take credit for that too.
And then the last one here, yeah, Patricia says, this so-called assassination attempt is FAKE NEWS!
And it's like, I guess, I mean, if you're anything like me or my friends or my family, we've all been asking, how has nobody tried to assassinate Trump in the last eight years?
How has that not happened?
No moral value assigned to the act at all.
How has it not happened?
Exactly.
We have so many people in this country.
You know, you think statistically, the odds.
I mean, we've had how many... People are getting killed by black bears now.
I don't know if you saw that.
People are getting killed by black bears.
It never used to happen.
That's the good bear.
It happens.
So you would think that, you know, by now, This would have happened, so we were ready for it.
And the thing is, even if it is, quote, fake news, it happened.
And like, it happened.
We watched it happen.
Even if it's whatever you mean by fake level, it still happened and it's going to have an impact.
So you can't just pretend like it didn't happen.
Right, it's pretty crazy because that guy that I said at the top of the show died.
The retired fire chief.
The shooter died.
They got photos of his corpse.
How is it staged?
To what degree is it staged?
Is Trump just such a bastard he's willing to sacrifice a retired grandfather?
And then also how do you only shoot the ear?
I know people are saying he bladed the ear in wrestling while he was behind the podium.
Well, he is a WWF Hall of Famer.
Right.
That's what I thought.
When I first saw the video and sent it to Ani, I was like, oh, he slapped blood on his face.
When he goes to reach for his ear, that was him like slapping blood on his face.
I just kind of said it as a joke.
And then that's like what everybody's running with now, is that this is the moment where he bladed the ear.
Other people are saying, Well, if it was a AR-15 shooting a 5.56 or whatever, you don't just graze an ear.
That ear would have been blown off.
Which, I think you can get grazed by it.
And again, didn't they kind of say that it might not have been a bullet that got him?
It might have been shrapnel, right?
Right.
I've seen people try to debunk that as well.
I mean, the AP is reporting At least that Donald Trump said he got hit by a bullet.
Donald Trump is tweeting that he got hit by a bullet.
Oh yeah, I'm for sure saying I got hit by a bullet.
This is from NBC right now.
Donald Trump hit by glass, not bullet.
What is this?
Tri-Cities?
Yakima?
Oh shit, Yakima Valley?
Donald Trump was shot at during an election rally in Pennsylvania, yada yada yada.
Law enforcement officials claim he was hit by glass fragments, possibly from a teleprompter broken by the bullets, while Trump asserts that he was shot with a bullet.
This discrepancy has fueled conspiracy theories with some social media users calling the event a staged photo op for sympathy and votes.
So that would be maybe how, that would be like the most charitable rendition or explanation of how this would be staged.
Is they had a Patsy they were gonna kill.
He was going to shoot around Trump.
He was going to shoot at a glass on the stage or something like that next to Trump.
It ended up ricocheting and hitting Trump, and that's why Trump got got hurt or whatever.
Yeah.
They're going to they're going to say that that firefighter like, well, the firefighter famously hated pedophiles, so he had to go.
You know, they're going to say something like that.
But this is the liberal conspiracy theory we're talking about here, Tony.
I think the liberal conspiracy theory would be just that Trump didn't care about a firefighter.
You know, was willing to sacrifice him to stage a fake assassination.
You know what I mean?
Anyway, okay.
I just thought it was interesting that, yeah, Democrats are 100% on board with the fake news train.
Now they're just like, I think probably what this did, like the largest cultural impact that this has isn't possibly like making Trump look cool.
I think it's possibly just going to be making liberals further lose their minds.
Yes.
Like further go insane.
Yeah, yeah.
Because I think now they're almost thinking like, oh my God, not only is he evil, but he's invincible.
It is panic mode.
Well, yeah, and just like their understand, like it looks so obviously like something that was designed to benefit Trump.
Yeah, because he does that where he raises his fist.
He's got blood on his face.
He's got the American flag behind him.
Somebody's already gotten that shitty tattoo.
I saw it.
No way.
Commando's face.
It looks so bad to it.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, there's no way it could have taken long enough.
Well, any good?
They just did the outline.
So like you can do a good outline in two hours, but maybe don't run to the first tattoo shop you see and try to get it done immediately so you can be the first person because it comes out looking like, um, looking like a empty coloring book that somebody had, uh, somebody designed on Fiverr for their school project or something.
Bad stuff.
Okay, another liberal reaction.
I saw a shout out to Aaron from Trillbillies.
I saw him post this at Afrocosmist on Twitter.
Posted a screenshot of this article.
Will surviving gunfire be Donald Trump's next appeal to black voters?
What is that?
This is by Sean Harper, and it says underneath, I am a diversity, equity and inclusion expert.
Is this satire?
I'm sorry.
Sorry for doubting you, Aaron.
We need to look up if this is satire.
That's yeah, that's pretty wild.
It was apparently a deleted Forbes article, because I'm seeing a link to it on Google.
Will surviving gunfire be Donald Trump's next appeal to black voters from Forbes?
But then when I click on it, it's deleted.
And then Mediaite reports, Forbes deleted article asking whether Trump's surviving assassination attempt will be his next appeal to black voters.
Amazing.
Uh, Forbes contributor Sean Harper, I'm reading from Mediaite, who serves as a tenured professor and was described by Forbes as a DEI expert, wrote the article.
No one likes you, bro.
Yeah, you got- No one, no one anywhere likes you.
This was staged.
This was, this was a fucking setup.
Talk about a patsy.
Fuck.
Okay, so let me continue reading.
The piece appeared to suggest that black Americans are more likely to be involved in shootings and therefore would sympathize with the presumptive GOP nominee following his assassination attempt.
Yeah, I'm looking for screenshots of the actual text because I have a suspicion I have a suspicion that they were trying to do a snarky, like Donald Trump is going to try to use this to win over black people because he's racist.
Because the headline just says, will surviving gunfire be Donald Trump's next, like that's a very fairly neutral headline asking a question about a man's behavior.
Yeah, but it feels pretty earnest though.
It feels like, um, like, will he do it?
I think it, I think he could do it.
I think that's actually like the main things he does.
I'm not saying the strategy is right, but the strategy is there.
Did this guy write an article when Trump got indicted for the felonies?
Right.
That was a popular thing that was happening.
There was a thing that the right had no problem saying, and now they're pretending to be upset about this.
Like Ashley St.
Clair, who says, you do not hate the media enough.
And then Greg says, Forbes insinuates that gun violence is inherent to black culture.
So like, this is like, I don't know, red meat for right-wing people.
Yeah.
So, uh, it's again, you have to look at who benefits.
You have to look to stand, you know, look who stands to benefit.
And it is anti-DEI and anti-black people, I guess.
Oh, absolutely.
Not a great article, Forbes, okay?
It's funny because I guess I made a similar joke and then I realized that everybody made the same joke I did.
50 Cent made the same joke you did.
50 Cent made the same joke I did.
But that's because 50 is a big fan of me.
That's why he did that.
I wasn't saying that 50 Cent appealed to black people because he got shot.
I was saying 50 Cent appealed to people because he got shot.
Everyone loves a survivor.
Uh, you want to see a funny meme I saw?
Yes.
About this shooting?
Oh my god.
Like, again, what is that?
Do you get it, dude?
I mean, no.
Actually, no.
I don't get it.
I know what I'm looking at.
I can explain what I'm looking at.
But do I get it?
No.
Why don't you tell the audience what you're looking at, dude?
Uh, it's the shooter.
It's, uh... It's... Post-mortem?
It's the post-mortem.
Laying there, bleeding out from the head.
And then superimposed over it is the Hawk Tua girl, and they've also put in spit coming out of her mouth onto the corpse.
She's given him a Hawk Tua.
You know, the Hawk Tua that we all memed about, that we all liked, where you spit on somebody you hate.
Is this implying that she's going to perform fellatio on the shooter?
Yeah, because that's a whole other bunch of issues, you know?
I'm not a big kink shamer over here, but cadavers are off.
They're off.
That's out of the question.
They can't consent.
You can't hawk to a cadaver.
That's not cool.
A what?
Cadaver?
Cadaver.
Cadaver?
Cadaver.
Hey, you know, honestly, if you didn't know what I was saying, go ahead and write the show.
Write into the show.
Let us know that you didn't know what I meant when I said it a little bit wrong.
Well, I just wanted to know what... I knew what you meant.
I wanted to know what you said, though.
I wanted to hear you clearly enunciate in which way you got it wrong.
And that's fine.
I just thought maybe you were saying the chocolate Godiva.
Yeah, that too.
Because I'm cool with eating them.
Yeah.
I was not cool with performing fellatio.
So desperate to do a hock to a meme.
I don't think a hock to a meme works here.
It makes no sense.
I'm sorry.
I hate to be the, I hate to tell you, this is, you just do, you get the hock to a tattoo that we've seen, the different kinds of, and then you just got it on your body all the time and you can look at it whenever.
It's like we're talking about though.
It's like, nothing makes sense.
You just take things and put them together.
Like, there's no... And the thing is, hopefully this person had the sense to be like, I know this is dumb, but I just know everyone's going to freak out over it.
So I'm going to go ahead and make it.
Somebody had to make it.
I know it sucks.
If I didn't make it, somebody else would have.
I know it sucks.
I'm just going to be the one to do it.
But you know, maybe I'll get some followers out of this one.
I know it's bad.
They like animated the spit, like you said.
They like drew a spit on there.
And the reply to the first reply I saw is from Cindy, who says, This is not real!
Look at the hand on her left shoulder.
And yeah, if you zoom in, they didn't crop out the hand that's like of her buddy, who's putting her hand around her shoulder.
So yeah, I think it is fake, Cindy.
I think you're right.
Look at the hand on her left shoulder, Cindy says.
There will be so many lies told, as the did Jan 6th.
Then they tried to lock a president up for him saying to walk peacefully and patriotically to the Capitol.
This so-called Biden disaster said far more dangerous words.
Remember he said the bullseye word, Tony?
I remember that.
I remember that.
That could be that could be the very words that caused an assassination attempt.
They're doing it.
So yeah, we talked about it on the previous episode.
Like how do they imagine Biden's quote violent rhetoric manifesting this?
And it was just yeah, like one of the Biden foot soldiers heard him like Read a newspaper report where somebody said that Biden said we need to put a bullseye on Trump and was like, yes, sir.
Yes, my master.
Time is now.
That caused an assassination attempt of a murder of a beautiful human and other critically injured civilians.
What are the Democrats or the Republicans calling for these dangerous words, Tony?
And this is what I'm saying, you know, even if you think a meme's funny or whatever, you got to consider, you know, you got to consider that, like, maybe it's going to trigger a political assassination.
It's true.
Words are important, okay?
Listen, sticks and stones may break my bones, but words might cause an assassination attempt.
So be careful out there.
If you, if this meme gets enough popularity, you know, some like psychotic liberal is going to be like, she did what to my hero?
The guy who shot at Trump?
Well, I better put a bullseye on her.
And how are you going to live with yourself?
Knowing you, you were, it's, you're going to be like Simon Birch hitting the home run that kills his best friend's hot mom.
You're gonna be sitting there crying.
You say, I didn't mean to!
I'm sorry!
You're gonna be yelling at God because he took the Hawktua girl away from you.
And God's gonna be saying, sorry, buddy.
I'm not allowed in your little meme-making factory.
Look what you did to yourself.
I love this, like... Did she really think someone was trying to say that the Hawktua girl... Does she know who the Hawktua... Maybe she doesn't know who the Hawktua girl is.
Maybe she just thought someone spit on the body.
I think that's what's happening here, at least.
I think maybe she thinks the Hawk 2A girl's the second shooter.
Somebody's implying that Hawk... I mean, you know.
I mean, she came out of nowhere.
Government plan, you think?
Came out of nowhere and she's probably got pretty good aim.
Yep.
Whoa.
Wow.
What do you think about that?
This is another meme I really liked.
Are you ready for this one, Tony?
Probably not There's a whole generation That does not know how to read this right Because I did the voice in my head, for sure.
So it's a black and white still from the I Love Lucy television show with one Ricky Ricardo.
The one and only.
And it says at the top, hey, comma, secret service.
And then in a totally different font at the bottom, it says, you got some splaining to do.
Like, is that even syndicated anymore?
Can you even watch I Love Lucy?
Uh, you could probably there's like probably a classic TV app, you know, like a like a 2B, but for Nick at night.
Yeah, totally.
That's so fun.
This is rough.
This is rough.
I love it.
This is the appropriate response.
I'd be like, hey, photo of the Secret Service taking moments after shots fired at Trump.
And it's Steve Urkel.
And Steve Urkel is saying, did I do that?
And what's great about it, too, is like, It's good enough so that you're kind of leaving interpretation to the people, right?
Because, bottom line, they do got some spraying to do.
Sure.
Why was that roof not covered?
Absolutely.
This is the right pitch for your memes, folks.
Exactly.
And if somebody wants to read that and be like, I cannot believe that the Secret Service, you know, not only allowed, but orchestrated this to happen.
That's just, you know, some people are going to get weird with it.
Yeah, it's not my fault.
Once it's out of my hands, the art is up to interpretation.
I have no control over that.
I love it.
Hey, Secret Service, you got some splainin' to do.
And then we pan over and see, like, Lucy with a bunch of cherry pie all over her face.
And it's, like, labeled Spectator Blood.
You know?
Yeah.
What's this one?
Okay, so I saw this comment.
We're still in conspiracy theory territory.
So this comment from Brian, who said this is an ALM, a conservative group.
ALMs, of course, stands for All Lives Matter.
Brian Hansen says, the FBI said they couldn't take out the shooter until he started firing.
It's total BS.
The shooter had full and clear intent and was ready for minutes.
Tony.
And so I looked at this and I said, wow, the FBI was there and the FBI was going to take out the shooter, but somebody told the FBI not to take out the shooter.
That's wow.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
If that really happened, something is weird.
Um, of course I, I don't think the FBI had anything to do with this event.
Uh, probably It was mostly a Secret Service and local police department thing.
Uh, so that might be a first indication that maybe Brian doesn't know what he's talking about.
Um, but I was like, where did this, where did this come from?
Where did, cause we joked about this yesterday that they got a stand down order from the female head of the Secret Service.
You know, she called and she said she refused, uh, she refused them, uh, allowance to shoot on, on this sniper, but no, uh, I saw this also in I think the same thread and this is where I think it comes from.
So this is something that's going around and it's from, you know, it's from one of the image boards.
It's from 4chan or 8chan or 8kun or whatever.
But the post says, they wouldn't let me take out dot dot dot.
My name is Jonathan Willis.
I'm the officer in the famous photo of the two snipers on the roof at Trump's rally.
Oh, see, this is I haven't seen this photo.
Not that famous.
My first time seeing it.
It's a good point.
I think I think there's another famous photo from the Trump rally.
I think you're like number 12 on the list of famous photos.
Calm down, bro.
Well, he's trying, he's trying to work it.
He's trying to work the crowd here.
Maybe he can get it, get it up in the search results.
If his story gets out, you know, I think it's funny that they had two snipers on one roof, but not a, you know, like was one of these guys supposed to be on the empty roof and like they, they, one of them fucked up and they both wound up on the same roof.
I think they want to be on the same roof so they can kiss.
Oh, they were gay.
Mm-hmm.
That's why they didn't kill him, because they were gay.
They were too busy being gay for each other.
I knew somehow that man-on-man action was responsible for this event.
Yep.
Hate to see it.
And if it wasn't the snipers being gay, it was just obviously condemnation from God.
You know, like God killed his own son.
You think he wouldn't hesitate to wound Trump because gay rights have gone too far?
Not only that, but he's petty.
We know God's pretty petty, so it makes sense.
Okay.
I'm the officer in the famous photo of the two snipers.
Which one are you, bro?
You didn't even say if you're on the left or the right.
Yeah.
Story's falling apart already.
I came here to inform the public.
The public of 4chan.
Thank you.
Definitely the modern Agora.
Okay, I came here to inform the public that I had the assassin in my sights for at least three minutes, but the head of the Secret Service refused to give the order to take out the perp.
100% the top brass prevented me from killing the assassin before he took shots at President Trump.
That is true.
As a Secret Service sniper, you have to get confirmation for every shot you take.
Before you can take a single shot, you have to call in to fucking Langley.
You have to call in to, uh, whatever, Washington, D.C., and get express written permission from your supervisor.
It's funny, because, like, okay, the demographic that you're trying to appeal to right now, you think any of them are okay with you just taking orders?
Like, you gotta be a free thinker to defend our free thinker, you know what I'm saying?
It is pretty funny to be like, have your heroic story be you were following orders and failed massively.
Because if you really were there, if you were really there and you really thought that there was an assassin ready to kill the president, you know, kill a president, I think even if you're like not somebody, because of course I'm going to let it rock.
I'm going to let it happen.
But like, if I'm like a regular person, um, I think you, you ignore the orders or you don't wait for the orders and you, you say, sorry, there was no time to listen to the orders.
I had to, I had to take care of that.
Right?
The top brass.
I just, I love like the president of the secret services is going to be the one giving you permission.
I don't know if you do take the shot because, okay, we're saying this is real.
This is real.
If they were there, they don't get permission, yada, yada, yada.
Yeah, maybe I wouldn't want to go to prison for shooting one of my co-workers or whatever.
Not that you would probably, but also I don't want to be responsible for shooting a co-worker.
You know, you could be like, maybe you didn't see the guy get under the roof.
You didn't see what he was wearing.
All you see is that he's taken position.
You just see the top of his head and the rifle.
You would maybe want to check, hey, are we really, aren't we not supposed to have a guy over there?
That seems like something that would have been, you know, talked about before, but, but I could see like waiting and not taking the shot because Whatever, because you didn't get permission, but it's fine.
I wouldn't brag about it.
No, and I would and I would have over explained why I didn't take the shot beyond beyond that.
I would like, you know, there was there was this is a roof.
I think someone was supposed to be on there.
I know that we got a bubble bubble.
I would have really done a lot of justifying here.
I wouldn't just say like, Listen, I could have saved a life, but a woman told me not to, so I said... Right, you have to listen to women.
The left told me to listen to women, so... Oh, now I listen to women, I'm the bad guy.
The left said believe women when they said that, oh no, that's a good guy with a gun.
I guess I was wrong.
Um, and then there's more, uh, I didn't follow the orders though.
As soon as the shooter opened on Trump, I returned fire despite strict orders to not engage.
So now he's saying he is the one that killed him?
Saying he's the one that killed him, but only after he had already hit the president with, with the bullet.
That's another funny thing is I don't know if I have any, cause you know, we're talking about female secret service agents and that is what, uh, Some of the more normie conspiracy theory, not normie, but some of like the less heightened conspiracy theories are just women bad.
There were women secret service agents who like helped surround him on stage.
There's a, there's a female head of the secret service agency.
This is, they're doing the DEI thing.
They're doing the Boeing thing for the secret service.
Um, Again, just like forgetting that cops suck at their jobs in general, and so it's not outlandish to assume that this just would happen by normal cop malfeasance or whatever.
But they're specifically pointing to like the secret service agents that are on stage with him.
They're like, one of them couldn't even get her gun back into her holster.
One of them was struggling to get her gun back into her holster or whatever.
And look at, you know, this is why you don't have female secret service agents.
And it's like, are they supposed to dive in front of the rifle fired bullet from a rooftop?
Like, how else?
They dove on him eventually.
Did somebody time it and be like, this is the worst response of any Secrets?
Oh no, I literally saw that.
I saw a side-by-side of when there was a mention of a gun in the crowd in 2016.
And then they had a side-by-side of both videos playing.
It was funny, it didn't really do that much.
Um, it didn't make it look that bad.
It actually made it look pretty reasonable.
But they were trying to make it be like, look, this is like 0.5 seconds until blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And it was funny because it wasn't like that.
It didn't do that much.
But yeah, they're saying that.
Yeah, it was this, uh, this, like, fascist Ken meme from one of the Ken Facebook groups.
It's two women from the Barbie movie talking to each other.
I think there's a man on the roof.
Let's wave to him.
The other woman, but she's wearing, like, Secret Service stuff, says, Did you just assume his gender?
You already blew it.
You already blew it.
You already blew it because that character doesn't say his gender.
That character does say their gender.
Then Ken says, Barbie, are these agents qualified?
I guess Ken is like Trump in this situation and Barbie, who's the head of secret services, they're better than qualified.
They're diverse.
And then now he's got a, Ken has like a little wound on his ear.
Um, yeah, I don't, I don't know what you really expect secret service agents to do when their team allows a sniper onto the roof of like, that is how politicians die.
Yeah.
That's the way it happens.
You know, it's that or a bomb.
Yeah.
And like, this guy who's claiming to be the guy who shot him, if you really had him in your sights and you were really concerned about him, how did he get so many shots off?
He should have got one shot off and then you should have taken care of it.
Oh, for the original bullshitter?
Yeah.
Stop bragging original bullshitter.
That's so funny.
He goes on.
And I can totally post this on 4chan with no recourse.
I mean, the idea is that he's posting on 4chan because he can't speak publicly.
by the FBI and just released an hour ago.
Already lost my job for not following orders, but I'm glad I took the shots anyway. - And I can totally post this on 4chan with no recourse. - Well, I mean, the idea is that he's posting on 4chan because he can't speak publicly.
Like 4chan is a good place to post anonymously if you want to post anonymously.
If you got fucking fired and arrested, why would this guy not be going on a book tour right now?
Like, why would this guy not be going on every Newsmax, Fox News, you know, OANN, are they still around, show, you know?
The right wing is also pretending, they're fantasizing that Barron Trump was in the audience when this happened.
Uh, which he wasn't.
But Kevin here on Twitter tweeted, and it was, the tweet was shared to ALM.
Imagine having a front row seat to your dad getting shot in the head.
Barron will never forget what they did to his father!
Who?
What, who did?
The left!
The left.
The demoncrats.
Very funny to like, yeah, just fantasize about what, like, you know, I guess this kid being Paul Atreides having to avenge his father.
But I'm sorry, his name is Baron.
He can't be Paul.
His name is Baron.
He's automatically the villain.
He's probably going to have his throat slit by his three-year-old granddaughter.
I don't know, just funny.
Like, they have to, like, further traumatize themselves.
Like, this event already wasn't... It's like the juice has already, like, dried up from this event for some people.
So then they have to fantasize that Baron was there and was looking into his father's eyes when his ear exploded.
And it's kind of funny that they're taking this angle of, like, do they know that they're acknowledging trauma?
Right.
You know, right.
Because, yeah, I'm sure that this is this is somewhat traumatizing for Barron, period.
And it would be pretty traumatic to see that kind of thing happen in real life, for sure.
But the way I'm speaking about trauma, there's no way these people would acknowledge that.
And but they are doing it.
It's just funny.
They're like being vengeful.
And again, that's that's that's trauma response, bro.
Yeah, but the thing is, is they're not advocating for Baron to go to therapy and learn how to talk through his problems or whatever.
They're advocating for the right way to handle trauma, which is by running for political office on a platform of grievance against your enemies.
Yeah, being vengeful.
Yeah, exactly.
I guess we'll go out on this one.
Let's go Brandon Facebook group.
John says, I don't know if anyone else can relate to this, but I'll mention this anyway.
And I just want to say, I think 99% of the people in this group are going to be able to relate to this.
So this is maybe John being a little too little humble braggy here, I think.
I'll mention this anyway.
So I have longtime friends of all political persuasions, and I'm deeply disappointed and angry at the insensitive and incendiary comments made by some of them, given the gravity of yesterday's events.
I guess the culture war is escalating yet another notch upward, and it's time to seriously evaluate my priorities, as well as who my friends actually are.
And again, I want to reiterate, this was posted in the Let's Go Brandon Facebook group.
A Facebook group all about how you hate the current president.
All about saying fuck Joe Biden.
Now, I realize saying fuck Joe Biden isn't the same as shooting at Joe Biden.
However, I would maybe gesture to the entire history of this podcast And say, and suggest that fuck Joe Biden does mean, if not take a shot at him, at least hang him for treason.
Minimum.
Yeah.
It doesn't not mean that, that's for sure.
Yeah.
It's kind of, it's very hypocritical to say the least.
Very funny.
It's just, yeah, it's, it's extremely funny how they're doing the like tender queer, you know, your, your, your friends who, uh, your friends who got shot in the ear, they're going to see this post, bro.
Yeah, yeah.
Extremely funny.
Yeah, we watched the entire right-wing apparatus imagine a scenario where an 89-year-old Paul Pelosi was probably doing S&M hammer porn, and that's why he was attacked in his home late at night.
We watched like an entire right wing just incessantly like convince themselves that the former first lady is trans.
Yeah.
That's just like, can it?
That's just, and it's so funny for these people to be like, wow, I can't believe, can't believe how, how much farther we've, we've gotten now.
It is so funny.
Cause like, these are the same people who fantasize about, you know, running over blue haired, blue haired libtards.
And like, but everyone knows the limit.
The limit is assassinating the president.
Right.
Did you see Baby Gronk's statement on it?
I did.
Yeah, he's right.
Yeah, he's right.
He's right.
America, what have we come to?
Shooting at each other?
But also, Donald Trump is a dog.
I still don't know what he meant by that.
I think, I think, was he saying, like, tenacious?
Because he's an athlete, and I think that's how athletes use it.
It's like the dog, like, he's got grit.
But I think Baby Gronk is a bit of a genius, myself.
And I think he might have been doing what that last post was doing, leaving room for interpretation so we all can enjoy it.
Because he's also a dog, guys, and he's like, he's not good to ladies.
That's so true, that's so true.
But I think, you know, leave it, that's... Baby Gronk, thank you.
Gronk is great to the ladies, though.
That is one thing you can say about Baby Gronk, is that he always treats them with respect that they deserve.
True, true.
No, you make a good point about, so we're talking about political violence here, and not to get too serious or preachy or overanalyze this shit, beat a dead horse, etc.
The political violence that the right-wing fantasizes about...
Except for the violence against, like, Clinton, the Clintons, or Biden, or Kamala Harris, or, you know, Nancy Pelosi.
The violence that they want to incur upon, like, the political elite.
I'm not talking about that.
All the other kinds of violence that they endorse, political violence, actually happens.
All the time.
Yeah.
All the time.
And they laugh about it.
All the time.
Yeah.
Protesters get run over.
They laugh about it.
Somebody gets shot by a Stand Your Ground guy, they laugh about it.
Yeah.
Cops beat the shit out of people, laugh about it.
Cops kill somebody, they laugh about it.
Border Patrol kills migrants, they laugh about it.
All that stuff happens every day, and they laugh about it.
But, because they're Americans, Living in this century, living around this time.
They're so insulated from like actual political, not actual political violence because all that stuff I just mentioned is political violence.
They're so insulated from political violence against themselves.
Against their team, essentially.
The cops.
Against, you know, right-wing politicians, right-wing political movements, right-wing figureheads.
Even just, like, suburbanites.
You know?
Like, even just general, like, violent crime.
All of that stuff is... down.
So then when it actually happens to one of their guys, they're like, what the fuck?
This is OK.
This is beyond the pale.
I know every president has killed millions of people.
I know.
I know cops have killed all these people.
But yeah, you finally.
Wow.
This is too far.
Yes, this is this is too far.
You know, it's about it's about decorum.
You know, it's about just having a little bit of class when you do your violent death crimes.
Well, that's what it all comes down to.
And it's also about the identity of the victim.
Some people you can't do political violence against.
And I mean that like it's logically impossible.
You can't do political violence against the people of Gaza.
You're just doing anti-terrorism.
You can't do political violence against a police suspect.
They're a suspect.
They have violence done to them.
That's what happens to a suspect.
You know, there's just like a class of people that you are not allowed to do political violence to, um, and the whole class isn't the political class for them, but specifically like their, their guy.
Their coach.
Yeah.
Not allowed.
Yeah.
But, um, I don't know.
And that's not like a totally irrational feel.
I wouldn't, you know, if I had a political candidate I liked, I also wouldn't want there to be violence against them, but it's just, it, it's, it's a striking departure, you know?
But then I would probably like, but at the same time I would, It's that thing where it's like, well, I mean, if you would understand if you were on the other team, you don't want it to happen because that's your guy, but you get why it happens.
Especially if you're already into everything else that happens, like you said.
I'm not going to be like, this is off the table.
I'm like, yeah, this is part for the course.
This is part of the agreement.
Yeah, but they're still so mad about it, though.
They agree that Trump is a threat to the elite, and so it makes sense that the elite would try to take him out.
But it's still just the worst day in their lives.
Didn't you kind of grow up with an understanding that when you become president, you accept that you could get shot?
That's an option?
Yeah, just being a celebrity in general.
Being a well-known person.
And when you're on the level that Tony and I am, we deal with this every single day.
You have to keep your head on a swivel.
I wouldn't have gotten hit in the ear, frankly, but I'm glad he survived.
More of this little thread though, Randy says, posted like a meme that says, if you cheer or applaud what just happened in Pennsylvania, delete me as a friend ASAP.
And Wendy says, I said the same thing this morning and my oldest daughter blocked me.
Scary or like scared or shocked face.
And then it says, I'm shocked.
Um, a lot of these comments were like, you know, wow.
I've, you know, cause the original post was like, wow, I've seen the, I've seen how ugly Pete, how truly ugly people are when they laugh that Trump got shot in the ear.
Trump, who's like, again, like a hateful person.
Like I, you know, I've, we, we've given him credit on that.
He's that he can work a crowd that he's got a personality that attracts people.
Right.
Um, obviously a very hateful guy, or at least like playing up that hatred for political purposes, which are essentially the same.
It's the same thing to me.
Be like, wow, this is just a new, a new level of, of disgusting, you know, and a lot of people in the replies were like, yeah, I had to stop talking to my sister because she was laughing about the assassination attempt.
Or they said they were posting, you know, some, some meme that I didn't like.
Um, but yeah, Wendy got blocked by her daughter, uh, because, uh, she quote said the same thing.
If you cheer or applaud what just happened in Pennsylvania, delete me as a friend.
And her daughter deleted her ass.
But if you scroll down farther, Kathy says, Oh my God, that is terrible.
I hope you and your daughter reunite.
And then Wendy says, Thank you.
I had made the comment that I find most godless people to be the most hateful, and that's what she took to heart.
Shruggy emoji.
I didn't ask about that, bro.
You said it was for a whole different reason, and now you're telling me a whole different thing?
I know.
What's the story?
Right.
First of all, that's a totally different thing.
Second of all, is your daughter an atheist and you're just talking shit about people who are atheists?
Then yeah, I would block your ass too.
It sounds like.
The post was like, most godless peoples don't call their mothers back.
And are ungrateful bitches.
I found that the most ungrateful daughters are the godless ones.
