"given the history of the kennedy family" lmao what a fuckin poster.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 month ago

This time the communist gunman doesn't give a fuck about this Kennedy.

I've felt this about the whole "if it was real he wouldn't have fist-posed thing" but critize what you want about the dang cheeto, the guy has fucking killer political instincts

I don't think the shooter had a scope.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Maybe he didn't use it

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (3 children)

what is this trying to tell me

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 month ago

That /b/ is filled with works of fiction.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

That someone claiming to be the cop in the photo is spreading a conspiracy theory about the Trump shooting being an inside job.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

It could be read one of two ways: Shooter was a false flag and SS knew they weren't shooting for Trump and it was Part Of The Plan, or SS knew they were gunning for him and wanted them to take the shot.

I don't believe either thing earnestly but it's still funny. Of course this image is probably total bullshit. Then again who knows? We live in the strangest timeline after all.

Because the president authorized an assassination attempt but to carry it out they went with a 20 year old loser who couldn't hit a shot at 100 yards and had half a dozen random bystanders pointing him out rhe entire time he was climbing the building and getting in position.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

Ahh yes a random 4 chan post saying that they're the most famous person in the country but they aren't going to say this anywhere but 4chan.

But yea, it's deffinitly that Biden got a 20 year old loser with iron sites to try to pop some shots at Trump in a cornfield. Not that cops are lazy dumb assholes.

Kind of like whenever patriot front gets posted and people say everyone knows it been definitively proven by 4chan they're just a bunch of feds and none of them are actual white supremacists because the real problem in this country is the ATF not the outright fascists marching in the streets.

Wow that seems so legitimate and not at all made up. I’m going to believe this 100% without scrutinising any details.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I know it's bullshit it's just finny

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

shooter had iron sights i hear

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 month ago

If there's any family that needs protection from being killed as much as possible, it's the Kennedys.

It does more damage to RFK Jr and the Kennedy dynasty if he lives completely normally.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

Well, normal for him which is as a depraved freak with a worm controlling his brain like a marionette. As long as he keeps doing that though, every day is digging his own grave further.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

Sure man, dilute the already failing secret service some more.

They literally just whiffed a fuckin assassination attempt. You should definitely spread the goons out further.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

I mean... let the guy you don't like drive the Pinto, am'I'right?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

This is him trying to get his people to start shooting at other candidates.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah this whole “give RFK secret service detail” made me wonder, are there just like cadres of reserve/on-call secret service protection details chillin in office cubicles ready to go out and take bullets for weirdos? I mean they must have some depth, but like wouldn’t it definitely mean some mild deduction to back for the existing details?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 month ago

The only thing it's missing is an "lol" instead of the exclamation point at the end

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Secret Service can't stop the brain worm.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Their job is to protect it

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

It's part of the family

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

Given the history of the Kennedy family

Fucking lmao

Also, people who predicted Trump would lean more stable and civil after the fact against expectations to further embarass Biden are winning so far.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

If the Dems were smart, they'd make a big show of doing this. RFK is way more popular with conservative independents than liberal ones.

Raise RFKs visibility and signal that he's "important" enough to warrant this level of protection and maybe he gets more coverage and splits the vote. Only like 4% or something support RFK, but that's still a significant voting block in a close election

The only RFK supporters I've met are crunchy wine mom types who heard he's against "chemicals" or some shit and don't seem to be that worried about the antivax stuff, or low key believe it themselves

And the polling doesn't seem to bear it out either, its a slight lean if anything:

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Oh no - that's different than the polling I'd seen. I think the stuff I saw was before the whole brain worms thing, so maybe it's more of a mixed bag now.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

Trump is now more Irish than Joe.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

trump-anguish On account of the fact that this guy's dad got fuckin owned, please protect our baby boy

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Their heads just kinda do that sometimes

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Once they've gorged on grey matter the brain worms known as Taenia solium kennediae bore their way out of the body to begin their cocooning phase. This has to happen through the skull, so the worms have an ingenious solution to a hard problem; they emit a subsonic hum that drives nearby susceptible persons to fire any firearm in their possession at the hosts head, creating openings for the grown worms. These unwilling midwives are commonly known as Paratsies. While this is a risky strategy, it also has the advantage of concealing the parasites from detection.

What could a bullet do to him that the worm didn't already?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Kennedy needs secret service protection like he needs a hole in the head
