On the one hand, I love that people are making fun of Trump for this. It is funny.

On the other (I forget if I mentioned this here yet), this is a dumbass’s version of an accusation of blood libel. And it’s **** dangerous, and not a laughing matter at all.

Hes scapegoating immigration for every single problem as some other countries have successfully done but I really hope it doesn’t work

Jesus Christ, my mom said she liked Rebel Ridge “because the actor looked like Will Smith »

I mean…. Close enough. lol

We need a new Will Smith in any case, the old one is broken.

My mom didn’t like him back in the day but suddenly likes him now. She’s so weird.

She thinks he’s a great actor so I asked if she’s seen King Richard and she said no. Easily his best performance ever and instead of seeing that, she sees Rebel Ridge cuz she thinks the guy looks like Will Smith.

My mom is like « i dont like Serena Williams so I didn’t see King Richard. » I’m like « she’s not in the movie. It’s just little awesome girls playing the William sisters and the story is about the dad anyway

I never saw it. I have basically no interest in that movie. But, tbf to the movie, I don’t have a lot of interest in most, almost all, movies.

I luckily saw it before the Oscar slap. I’m guessing it would have affected my enjoyment but hard to know

Trump threatens to cut off California wildfire aid if Newsom doesn’t change water policy

Wuster,

You don't do the time trials?

Looks like someone tried to assassinate Trump, again.

Really? Wow.

It’s frustrating cuz it seems to boost his popularity

You know what else boosts his popularity? The unending coverage of the guy, which this will exacerbate.

Did he try or was he just exercising his right to bear arms and the government agent freaked out over a gun owner?

Yeah he’s going to dominate the news cycle even more than usual

It’s a good reason this time at least

oh so during an interview this morning Vance stated ""If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do."

Hey so that’s two gunmen that got within a football field of Trump with a ranged rifle.

I’m surprised that’s so easy but then I started thinking, what protects the airspace?

Drones are pretty sophisticated now and not expensive. So if you were a skilled drone pilot and you flew pretty high, couldn’t you just dive bomb the target with a brick of C4 attached or something? What is preventing that from happening?

I don’t think either gunman was less than 100 yards from Trump, were they?

M’y bad. I was maybe thinking in meters like a true Canadian

This one was 300-500 yards away.

The first one was much much closer at 443ft (135m) away

Wow Shogun won 18 Emmy’s and it’s not even in English! That’s excellent, so happy

A meter and a yard are nearly the same thing. IDIOT

lol, that's not true, is it? I honestly have no clue how long a yard is other than a football field is 100 or 110 yards depending if you're playing in a country where people read or not

For a quick estimate they are reasonably interchangeable.

All soccer fields are measured in yards, btw. Most popular sport on the planet... doesn't use meters (even though most countries do).

For a less quick estimate, a meter is about 1.1 yards.
