And next time don't miss

I say for no particular reason, if you are going to wield a firearm it's very important to put in time at the range so you aren't carrying around a decorative Bang stick.

Windage adjustments truly are under-appreciated

At that distance you don’t really have to account for wind. The guy was just a horrible shot. 150 meters is not a difficult shot unless you’ve never shot a rifle in your life.

I wish he would just die of natural causes, already

With the amount of followers he's disappointed, he'll be dodging bullets from his own followers left and right. The people that have already tried were all followers of his.

The bullets he's already dodged were from his own supporters too.

I think it would be funny if he tripps going down from the presidential plane and dies.

That comes later, on his grave.

Eh, I think if there's significant room for conspiracy theory bullshit around his death I would be too concerned how that might be weaponized. So I am very much hoping nothing even potentially suspicious kills him off.

He can't even run a goddamn bath.

He runs his Depends^TM^

MyOpinion@lemm.ee · 10 pts · 1y

He does run his diaper.

If I were a man in his position, I certainly wouldn't shoot off from the mouth so much, granted I've read and internalized a lot of Machiavelli, and I don't think this asshat can even read anymore.
