Political Weirdo JD Vance (the one with the very thick eyeliner) got so scared he ran home and pointed a gun at the front door (slrpnk.net)

Repubes are weak people’s visions of strong men

So you're telling me you abandoned your kids, your greatest personal priority, during a moment of crisis Mr. Vance?

And you think we should trust you with the country?

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Maybe call Trump first? With that thing that makes the calls in your pocket? Fucken nonce

He doesn't have his real number :(

That's so weird.

When I heard that Trump got shot, I packed my kids in the car and said come on kids we're going to celebrate with some nice mini golf!

This idiot at least knows how to cult signal. He realized he had to pay homage to the cult's Joseph Seed.

It's honestly very funny to imagine any US Senator thinks of themselves in these action hero terms. Like Mitch McConnell heard about it and put on a bandana and got his lasso.

The VP candidates don’t receive Secret Service protection between their party-nomination and the election?

That seems a little weird.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I thought this was before his nomination? Still a shit reaction from someone who's supposed to be a combat veteran.

Kind of a metaphor for "it's for self defense" mentality in general. His response to perceived danger was to abandon his family, who were theoretically in danger, to go to the place where the threat was theoretically at its greatest, and take the time to set himself up to ambush someone who had apparently come to hunt him down specifically.

He did every thing actual firearms owners are taught to not do in a dangerous situation. I'm surprised his own bodyguards didn't kill him out of sheer exasperation by the time he left the golf course!

I bloody knew it, this was always attention seeking/trolling and the “using old linguistic” stuff was bullshit.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Wtf

I'd do the same. If I were Walz and someone took a crack at Harris, I'd immediately bunker down until I heard more. That's a very normal reaction to have and you lot are trying to make jokes about how abnormal it is.

Or am I weird and the correct human response is to hit play on I Will Survive, drop pants, and helicopter through the course?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You're not wrong, you're just not trained the way he claims he was. The problem is he decided his house was a safe place, and any assailant would obviously use the front door. This is also after he supposedly didn't even wait to see that Trump was very much alive, literally seconds later.

Nobody is at his house, so it's not safe. That's actually the first alternate a bad guy would target if they didn't know about the mini golf. The door in any room or building is called a "fatal funnel" by the military. Standing there would be the absolute last thing anyone with any basic military training would do.

This guy either got so scared he abandoned his Marine training or he's lying his ass off and thinks we're too stupid to notice.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I don't like the sound of a fatal funnel. I guess that's how "Here's Johnny" moments happen.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Haha, kind of the other way though. I know you have to come through this tiny area. But I can hide wherever I want.
