> [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > [channelling DeSantis] Hey, look at the bright side! It’s mostly all those brown invaders doing that work in the blazing sun. So what if they keel over? Drag the bodies away and shuffle in some more brown invaders, get the labor out of them, repeat, repeat – cheap labor and a bonus, getting the brown invader numbers down! [/channelling] Yep. And more than that: assuming Trump gets in, what’s to stop him from issuing an Executive Order overturning the Thirteenth Amendment? It’s not as though Roberts’ Court would object in any way. Why shouldn’t Presidents be able to create or destroy Amendments as their fancy takes them? Just bypass all this annoying blather about dark-skinned people having “rights” and get down to a truly _efficient_ way to run the US economy. ---

The maga death cult is responding to today’s events with the kind of restrained wait-and-see attitude you’d expect, by which I mean they’re champing at the bit to start killing people.

Garbage like that is the reason I have taken to tuning out of most all social media in the immediate aftermath of breaking news events such as this. Twitter is now absolutely worthless in breaking news situations, where it was such a great resource prior to Elon taking over. I now mostly just sit and wait for credible news sources to report. ---

Are we going to actually hear the words from Trump himself, that Biden ordered this? In the breaking news thread somebody posted that Trump is going to be very worried about appearing in public at rallies from now on. He is already terrified. ---

If I were a false flag type of person, I’d suspect his handlers of staging this so they have an excuse to keep Trump out of the public eye. ---

Now, remember, if Biden did order Seal Team 6 to do this, he’s immune. We just had a big Supreme Court case about it. And the Pubs were fans of that decision ao they should be fine with this development, right? Right? ---

And the Pubs were fans of that decision ao they should be fine with this development, right? Right? I thought of that, too. I’ve also heard some people blaming Biden for the shooting because of the things he said about Trump. Really, Republicans, blaming a politician when his rhetoric incites people to violence, are you sure that’s a precedent you want to set? ---

Twitter is now absolutely worthless in breaking news situations, where it was such a great resource prior to Elon taking over. As much as I post tweets on this board, I don’t actually participate in Twitter at all. I barely ever tweet, my PFP is a cosplay from a midnight movie I went to in 2009, and there’s only about five accounts that I read on a daily basis. I’m just there to observe and see what’s going on out there in the maelstrom. ---

People are saying that Sleepy Joe missed his target!” Yeah. The GOP Convention speakers will be calling for violence in plausibly-deniable terms. Every one of them. I know I’m not going to have the intestinal fortitude to watch any of the convention coverage live; I’ll only be able to handle clips shown on other shows. It’s going to be a combination of ALL HAIL SAINT TRUMP and WE MUST HAVE OUR GUNS READY FOR INEVITABLE DEMOCRAT-VIOLENCE AGAINT US (with plenty of ‘shoot first and ask questions later’ hints). All that is worst in 2024 Republicanism will be spewing across television screens next week like so much toxic waste. ---
