WHAT

  • Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump was shot at a rally in PA.

TRUMPS STATEMENT

“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

WHAT WE THINK WE KNOW SO FAR

  • gunman is dead
  • Trump "is fine"
  • one attendee is dead
  • another attendee is in critical condition

Modern problems aren’t solved with blood but with marketing.

Tell that to the Ukrainians and the Palestinians. I know you want this to be the case, but you couldn't be more wrong if you tried.

[–] Emmie@lemm.ee -4 points 4 months ago (3 children)

In both cases they didn’t solve anything and only made things worse for themselves

[–] Evil_incarnate@lemm.ee 8 points 4 months ago

Not sure what you mean, but Ukraine and Zelensky have been marketing themselves all over the place. They need all the help they can get, and they are doing whatever they can to boost support. So far pootin hasn't achieved his goals so it's working.

You're right, better to allow a violent oppressor to slowly eradicate your people than attempt to free or defend yourself by whatever means necessary....

Eh I think you guys see what you want to see in my comment. I was talking about Russia. putin attacked Ukraine, it was insane in any case and what did he got out of it really?

The violence on Ukraine was just plain stupid.

I am kinda surprised and amused you take me for some pacifist goodie two shoes, other cheek blah blah. funny from my pov. Idk how you extracted that from my comment, I bet you will now continue to argue with something that doesn’t exist. My congratulations

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Because you replied to a comment about ukrainians and Palestinians and said it accomplished nothing.

[–] Emmie@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I am actually almost flying now

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 1 points 4 months ago

I wish I could continue this but I am hella stoned now. I am glad or sorry it happend

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Appeasement of an aggressor never works. History has taught this over and over and over again. We still haven't learned I see. I'm mainly talking about Ukraine. Palestine is a lot more complex.
