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

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago

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

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe he didn't use it

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (3 children)

what is this trying to tell me

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago

That /b/ is filled with works of fiction.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year 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.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

I know it's bullshit it's just finny

shooter had iron sights i hear

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year 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.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year 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.

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] D61@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

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

[–] hotspur@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year 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?

[–] john_browns_beard@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago

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

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Secret Service can't stop the brain worm.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Their job is to protect it

[–] Florn@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

It's part of the family

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year 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.

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

Trump is now more Irish than Joe.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

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

[–] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Their heads just kinda do that sometimes

[–] NPa@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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?

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

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