A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers (Part 3)

I’m stunned that the man is still alive. Where was ICE to shoot this guy ten times in the back?

I believe the only person the shooter hit was a cop wearing a protective vest which took the bullet, which is why the cops were there, and it sounds like they were properly equipped for this sort of thing.

You can’t prevent an incident like this, the best you can do is mitigate the result of it, which seems to have happened.

It’s possible that they weren’t set up properly, and got lucky, or the shooter acted in such a away that what could have been a tragic event was neutralized by his own ineptitude. I don’t know that there’s any way to know at this point. All we know is that he reportedly didn’t get far, he was subdued quickly, and nobody was seriously hurt.

Possible? He walked a weapon, AIUI a fucking shotgun, into the building.

Yeah, “The guy in the trench coat with a pipe sticking out of it? Keep an eye on him”

There is now video.

The guy Leeroy Jenkins’ed it.

Not true.

Wow, that guy is fast. All that video needs is a “meep-meep” sound effect as he streaked past the guards.

¡Arriba, arriba! ¡Ándale, ándale!

A change of topic, but I thought folks might like to know how the booze industry is currently dealing with Trump’s remarks toward Canada.

Bourbon prices have plummeted. If there’s any expensive brands you want to try, now’s the time.

Mine too! I’ve had a few people text me about it.

Really? Where did you go to high school? I graduated from Bishop Montgomery in 1974.

Of all the weird things to happen this is one of the weirdest. Or maybe not, Trump just fucks up everything.

I have not seen any video but first guess: white guy but now I hear this was all a big FAKE

You’d be wrong; at least not enough to get a pass from ICE.

I have seen the more neutral Faith is believing in something with no evidence to support its existence.

Or you could go old school with Ambrose Bierce:

FAITH, n. Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel.

Was that before or after he fell off the Owl Creek bridge? :slightly_smiling_face:

:grimacing:

Too soon… Too soon.

:owl:
:skull_and_crossbones:

Except that’s biased in favor of faith not neutral, give how people outright deny the facts in the name of faith all the time. Denying facts and logic is a point of pride among the faithful as it shows how strong your faith is.

All those fossils were put there by Satan to decide people into believing in evolution, something scientists know but lie about because they’ve Satan worshipers, don’t you know.
