Every cloud has a silver lining. Except in this case the cloud is also silver.

I'm pretty sure trump doesn't need another minor maga death so soon after kirk. After all whatever trump does in response will have to be done again later. So they are probably saving Shapiro for later.

Why did't he just get a gun to defend himself? What a bitch, bet that is why his wife doesn't get wet.

It’s ok when we get shot, but oh no when it’s one of them…

I've been saying they should feel fear. Look what makes them fearful.

It's probably time for you to close up shop Ben. Stop doing your talks, stop promoting hate and lies and start actually being a good husband and learn how to be a better person.

Or get your head blown off. Both things are fine.

I do not want to normalize murder as a trump card in political discourse - not any further than the right has already mind you.

But I am enjoying seeing these hate mongers feel some of that turned back their way, in a very public manner. Having the outside world ‘cancelled’ for themselves for fear of assassins and high powered rifles. Always having to travel with security, constantly worried if their next organic street encounter will be with a genuine fan, or ‘a fan’ with a vendetta.

Tolerance paradox aside, I still condemn this though - because political assassination does not bode well in the immediate term, nor the long term if this kind of activity keeps repeating… it ultimately only leaves the most hardline and ideological voices on the soapbox.

  • Did he ask for all Epstein files to be released?
  • Did he think Israel is going to kill him?
  • Did he show concern about Israel lobby in the US or sign of switching his stands on genocide?
  • Is there an attempt to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files in congress this day?

I think he should be alright...

I guess since conservative podcasters have flooded the market, there’s more to choose from. Let’s all hold hands and pray to St. Luigi.

[–] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

Hahaha coward chickenshit. All they need is a good guy with a gun, right? 😂

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And here I was thinking that all you needed to stop a bad guy with a gun was a good guy with a gun.

Guess Benny just doesn't know any good people.

Did he gish gallop into the sunset?

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

I’ll bet that opened his eyes a bit. I’m sure a few others are a wee more paranoid now as well.
