Sickening indeed. How can you get that close and fuck up your one job…

Shooter forgot to allow for the cloud of bullshit-laden hot air emanating from the target.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It was still a distance shoot at that range, and apparently those are actually harder to hit than media marksmanship makes it seem

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago (2 children)

There’s a lot of armchair snipers all of a sudden who are saying they can hit a few inch group at 100 yards with their eyes closed.

Given lemmy’s demographic, I’m not sure how many of these people have actually held a rifle, let alone tried to shoot it at +100 yards while under a time crunch and stress.

Not saying what the kid did was right, but criticism of his marksmanship isn’t really fair.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

They just feel teased by the botched shot is all, they'll probably shut up about it once Trump inevitably manages to spectacularly blow any sympathy he might have gained over this, as he is often want to do.

Guy's gonna hit the circuits like a lightning bolt about this, and inevitably he's gonna say something that puts it right back into everyone's head what exactly he's proposing for his second term.

It's absolutely wild to think about, it's the first campaign in history where both candidates survive mostly on a strategy of talking as little as humanly possible and under as controlled circumstances as humanly possible.

The way to win is to actively avoid reminding everyone that the candidate you support is one of the candidates, because of just how much the media has poisoned the well that this very obvious outcome is some unforeseen portent of oncoming doom because gasp two first term presidents are seeking the second term.

Like what in fuck were people expecting was gonna happen, a divine intervention? Joe's literally said that it'd take that much at minimum to convince him to hand the reins even to Kamala, nevermind how Donny would probably spit in the eye of god himself at the suggestion that anyone but him, even a magically created exact copy of him in a younger body, should take over the campaign.

But those armchair snipers aren't actively trying to shoot the US president. I mean if I were to do it I would make sure I won't get killed for nothing

Biden says trump assassination attempt is radical, sick, and even gnarly

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Reports that the president was later heard remarking to staffers that, in addition, it was also, "mega bodacious," and "tubular to the max." Unsubstantiated rumors follow that the president punctuated this statement with a "cowabunga." More as this develops.

😏
I see what you did there

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Could you explain it to me? I don't really know the meaning of "it's sick" (Is it ill?)

[–] [email protected] 45 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Sick can be used either to refer to something unfortunate (as in ill), or to refer to something really awesome. It's just casual American slang.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

Not to be confused with "ill" as in awesome.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Calling something sick is far more than unfortunate, it’s closer to demented or disgusting

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It's just casual American slang.

We used to use it in Australia in the 2000s too. If something was very awesome, it was "fully sick".

Sick is said as a bad thing. But in teenager slang it can be used as something cool.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (13 children)

That's why biden used this double meaning word... I see.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

He clearly didn't intend it to mean anything else but the literal meaning

Trump's grazed in the ear, inches away from death. That's sick, man.

Would've been wicked sick if they'd succeeded :D

Too bad about that :-\

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

It's why you aim for center mass rather than going for the headshot

Bruh sick as hell

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 months ago

It's radical

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Republicans have given much worse reactions to violence on democrats (on the level of making fun), at least one should have the balls to point out that this is a direct result of republican policies and Trump's hate speeches.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

Siiiiiiiick

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It's sick! 😎

Or?

It's sick! 🤢

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

One might even say 'gnar'

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

What a perfect comment to be interpreted in whichever way someone wants to interpret it.
