I hate living in this time that makes satire obsolete.
Can anyone please think of the makers of south park and how they are supposed to make fun of self owning clowns like this?

3 assassination attempts. In what 3 months? And they're all from Republicans.
The most recent "assassination attempt" was just drummed up by the media. I haven't seen any evidence it was anything other than a man with some guns in his car who happened to be near the rally.
A couple of media places did release a very short blurb in small print that the "suspect" had no plans to assassinate anyone according to law enforcement after a short investigation.
Honestly, I’d be surprised if the venn diagram of “people who would keep guns in their car” and “trump’s base” wasn’t a circle.
There’s going to be a lot of false positives in an environment like that

The Riverside county sheriff is the one who first used the term assassination attempt. Media uncritically repeated what the sheriff said.

And when it comes to America, a man with guns in his car is a normal situation.
God I hate this place.

Well yeah, duh, that's why he has the glass. /S
This, but without the /s. Completely non-sarcastic.
yeah it is crazy fact of life that schools get shot up so much more frequently than police stations and federal buildings.
almost like politicians and police are safer than school children in the system run by police and politicians.
Also that this "fact of life" almost entirely applies only to schools in the US. The world works in mysterious ways indeed. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
It blows my mind as a non-Amerian that their politicians are saying that the right to own a gun and carry it around is more important than children being able to go-to school without the fear of being killed. That's just the cost of 'freedum'.

A fact of life... when living in America. Third world country that doesn't tell its inhabitants.

what’s so frustrating is that this “they’re a fact of life” mentality is a self-fulfilling prophecy. and the longer it continues to used as a justification for inaction, the harder it becomes to convince people that gun violence is a solvable problem.

"That's why your parents' tax dollars should be paying for nice, safe, private religious schools!" /s
No, for tanks. School children need little tanks, like those Barbie thingies but bullet proof and closed. Make schools drive in.
Or give each child it's own protective glass shield. Maybe some sort of cubicle.
This actually makes all the sense. If he truly believes it then he’s rightly afraid. If he doesn’t believe then this sends the message to his supporters that they are right to be afraid. Either way it also tries to give him a “martyr in life” kinda vibe by trying to paint him as someone so dangerous to their little deep-state(that totally isn’t 100% conservatives if it’s anything at all) would want to get rid of.
He also has a very shootable personality and platform, and Trumping have been shot at definitely gives some reason why he’d be behind glass himself.
Benefit of the doubt interpretation though is a guy who can afford to have security and bullet-proof glass telling little children to “deal with it” is a fucking scumbag-extraordinaire.
And that some can afford protection and made it impossible for others is also a fact of life
Wasn't the guy who shot at trump staged behind him?
All that glass is doing is paying the audio engineers for extra work to get the front rows speakered too.
One who hit him was to the front right of him.
But was thinking why you don't just pick a spot behind him.

I wonder how they deal with drones.
There’s only one way to find out!
Hypothetically.
Can't wait until we use a predator drone to dome a predator.
This is what it feels like when dealing with banks and utilities of a loved one when they pass away.
Apparently they are gaining ground in the polls.
Fake polls paid by GOP would explain that if I read correctly that big post with lots of comments here (on lemmy) 1 or 2 days ago.
This is an opinion only. I wanted to preface it that way because I realized how much it sounded like I had inside knowledge. I do not. I'm a drunk, ignorant redneck.
I wouldn't put it past them, but those polls shouldn't move the needle very far at places like the silver bulletin or 538 because they weigh based on how trustworthy the polls are. Reputable polls aren't getting bought and fake polls may hit news articles but don't really hit forecasts very hard.
I've watched 538 since they came back online. There was a point where Kamala had greater than a 60 in 100 chance to win. Right now it's about as low as it has been with her up 53 to 46.
We're halfway through October so I have no idea if we're getting a surprise. I'd like to see something that tilts things blue.
Who are? The Kids Getting Shot Party?

I think it would have been funny in an ironic way if he was shot from behind the barrier. Just something to really prove his point.
Yeah but he's "important" fuck your kids though.
