He loves to flex that he can go out in public, with no fear. When's the last time Trump made an appearance in public?

Trump knows he's not safe outside of his ivory tower.

I had that sort of thought myself not long ago. If Donald Trump just showed up in front of me out of the blue one day, would I try to kill him?

I don't consider myself a radical or revolutionary. I'm not gunning to be the next big-name presidential assassin to appear in the history books. I'm just a normal, everyday person trying to get by, one day at a time.

But I think I would. I dunno. Maybe a lot of other normal people feel the same way.

I don't care if it would be my last action on this earth; I'd jump at the opportunity.

If he shows his ass, it's grass.

I had the opportunity in '24 while he was campaigning. I was alone in the room with him for about two minutes. He was repulsive and I refused to say a word to him beyond a brief introduction as I was escorted into the room. I had a sizable knife and a multi-tool on me at the time. My friends and family will never let me live down the opportunity I threw away, but I wouldn't have made it out alive. I'm realizing now, they're essentially saying they'd rather have him dead than me alive.

you could have spared us all so much and for that i will never forgive you, person i have never met.

okay, i'm over it but YOU BLEW IT ALL UP! DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU TO HELL! fuck i got my wrong nerd rage going but you get it. one of these days we will collectively forgive you and then we will chuckle about it over a cup of, i don't know, boiled morning water i don't know what life is going to look like in 20 years

I can't say I've ever forgiven myself.

i'd say forgiveness comes only through jesus but his mercy only extends so far. have you considered alternative religions? i can recommend some really fun cults

I would have assumed you'd be searched and stripped of any potential weapons.

Cheeseballll1@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 180d (2 replies)

They were tools I was permitted to have for work. We had a hard out time of 6pm the night before. We were directed to leave any tools on site. Gestapo swept the facility overnight. They're looking for guns and bombs. We were searched upon entering the day of the event. My tools were waiting for me when I came in. I was not searched again.

I work around targets like him once or twice a year and this is normal.

I'm using a throwaway account for a reason.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 180d

I've got people who count on me, so I can't be that impulsive. However, these people are members of vulnerable groups that MAGA hates and targets, so if something were to happen to them, I'd have nothing left to lose. At that point, I'd become very dangerous indeed, but I still wouldn't act impulsively. Tactical and surgical is the strategy.

Well, you are likely on a list now đź« 

HalfAFrisbee@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 180d (1 reply)

You say that like every single person that doesn't support them isn't on that list already.

funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 180d

yeah the list is just people who have not given him money in the last 6 hours.

djdarren@piefed.social · 2 pts · 180d

I wouldn't try to kill him, but I'd certainly tell him that he's a cunt.

nymnympseudonym@piefed.social · 27 pts · 181d (5 replies)

If I met Biden in public, I would very much want to tell him in person:

  1. He was my last choice in the 2018 Dem Primary. I met him, shook his hand, thought him an idiot.
  2. He was a very good POTUS who (1) surrounded himself with competent people and (2) listened to them (the two most important abilities of any POTUS)
  3. He can still get close enough to Trump to bite down on The Tooth...
SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · 21 pts · 181d (4 replies)

No Biden was the worse president ever because he didn’t fix every problem with America before Americans decided Trump needed a second chance.

Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 15 pts · 181d (1 reply)

And he was sleepy

SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world · 8 pts · 181d

Eepy Biden.

carpelbridgesyndrome@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 181d

Don't forget that he didn't fix everything with a 50-50 Senate

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 180d

And my feet hurt and somehow that's Biden's fault too

Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works · 15 pts · 181d

Thing is, Trump doesn't even be around "normal" people. There's a reason why he owns golf resorts with astronomical membership fees (apart from earning money, of course).

ObtuseDoorFrame@lemmy.zip · 36 pts · 181d (17 replies)

I used to think he had been a decent president. But after his term ended and new information came out it became clear that he was always onboard with genocide in Gaza. The nickname Genocide Joe will never die. Zionist asshole.

Delilah@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 11 pts · 180d (14 replies)

There were signs before he was president, he was the biggest recipient of donations from pro Israeli groups during his 36 years in the senate. He consistently voted with the war hawks. Biden always was a genocidal shitbag.

ObtuseDoorFrame@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 180d (13 replies)

You're right, of course.

It's funny how leftists will criticize people who agree with them because they didn't come to that conclusion within a convenient time frame.

I didn't find out that Biden had always been a Zionist until fairly recently. He was quite vocal about it when he was a senator, apparently. Was I supposed to research political activity that happened before I was born?

Delilah@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 8 pts · 180d (9 replies)

When someone is running for president, you should probably research their history

ObtuseDoorFrame@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 180d (7 replies)

I didn't vote for him in the primary, though. And I wasn't about to vote for Trump. I should've researched an old candidate's 50 year history in politics to justify voting against Donald Fucking Trump?

Delilah@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 180d

You should research the position of anyone who is a viable candidate, regardless of how truly awful the opposition is. I'm not saying anyone should have changed their vote to the mildly sentient blob of hamburger grease who rapes children for fun, just that everyone should know the political positions and history of the potential leaders of their country.

Maeve@kbin.earth · 3 pts · 180d (5 replies)

YES!

ObtuseDoorFrame@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 180d (4 replies)

...why? It's a two party system. You're suggesting I should justify voting against Donald Fucking Trump, the child rapist? There was no other option. I was supposed to go through a 50 year political career to find some bad shit? And then what, get mad at some old CSPAN clips and then vote for the kid raper? You're not being realistic.

Who did you vote for?

Maeve@kbin.earth · 0 pts · 180d

It's a monoparty system with the illusion of choice, like Unilever markets several brands of laundry detergent and ice cream. You could have voted third and made a better choice. Unless you were in a swing state, you could have voted De La Cruz or Stein, for example, without supporting the beast.

Ideally you wouldn't have to because the media reported on it. If you had reliable media.

Lemminary@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 180d

Ok, but can we also promote Genocide Trump? Because I haven't heard many people point out how zionist Trump is. This conversation always focuses on one over the other, despite them both being in on it.

Like Kamala he's only worth it beacuse of the disastrous alternative.

Unfortunately old people are considered better than female beings, even is the ale specimen is guilty of multiple crimes

I know he wasn't seeming very well before he quit his reelection campaign, but just think how hugely better things would have been with him still president.

Honestly though.. if I saw him on a commercial flight, I would very sarcastically thank him for losing the republic, and would finish with “nothing will fundamentally change”.

mrdown@lemmy.world · -8 pts · 181d (1 reply)

Not dead yet?

moody@lemmings.world · 3 pts · 180d

He looks pretty close, honestly.

How is he not dead yet?! Did he also kill babies to eat the intestines?!

Sheesh enough with the conspiracies, y’all are out of hand, and this is coming from a conservative leaning voter.
