> [@Great\_Antibob](#): > > Back to the scadenfreude, but it struck me yet again that even after getting shot, Trump still can’t keep himself on the front page. I was talking to a family member about this the other day, I remember saying to her that it was interesting that the general reaction to the assassination attempt was, “yeah that makes sense”. Lots of coverage about secret service failings, but not much about Trump himself. And it appears to not have affected his poll numbers very much if at all. ---

Trump may not remember that it’s 2024 and may think he actually is a young man. ---

Trump’s not the first person to confuse the word “young” for “immature”. ---

I mean, he knows he’s by far the decrepit one in the race now. And the brainwashed horde who support him have already been shown to trust him over their lying eyes. ---

I just came across this today and haven’t seen it posted here. It took place at the RNC last week. Kevin McCarthy does a “people are saying” hit on Matt Gaetz on national tv. He goes on to accuse Gaetz of trying to extort him over the speakership. Love to see it. > ---
