Lol, he has to do outside rallies because he already screwed over all the indoor venues in these areas during his last go round and no one wants to host him.

He never pays the venues and it's coming back to bite him in the arse.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 4 months ago

Or nip him in the ear, as it were.

[–] cybervseas 10 points 4 months ago

That's why he had to hold that press conference at the Four Seasons…Total Landscaping. Makes perfect sense.

A real man would raw dog it without secret service protection.

I do not want trump to be shot / assassinated. I want him to keep losing lawsuits.

I want him punished for trying to illegally overturn the election and overthrow the government.

I want to see him suffer as his wealth, his trump towers, his mar-a-lago, everything is taken away.

I want to see his cult rage as their dear leader is punished for his crimes.

He. Must. Suffer. Then die old, bitter, and alone.

A bullet through his head is way too good for him.

[–] p5yk0t1km1r4ge 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Nah, i do though. Yeah it's too good for him but I'm past that phase. He needs to go before this country eats itself alive .

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thing is, if he dies by bullet, then he becomes a martyr that the Republicans can effectively put words in the mouth of. A dead Trump is far smarter, more wily, and far more capable of directing the MAGA crowd than a living one is

[–] kmartburrito 4 points 4 months ago

Plus, you know how stupid many of his supporters are. Someone could churn out deepfake AI videos or audio of him saying things and claim that they came from some recently found cache of discovered media.

Those chucklefucks would eat that shit up and keep buying fake assassination sneakers when that dude has worms eating his asshole underground.

Think about it. A martyr with endless fake AI videos and audio. He will become immortal.

You're 100% right. The other reply above you is right too - a bullet is far too good for him. I want him to get some finely ground justice.

"Good god, what is that disgusting thing?" - people talking about trump currently

[–] IzzyScissor 27 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He does outdoor rallies because they're cheaper, and he's broke.

If he wasn't being bankrolled by Elon, he'd probably have to file for bankruptcy for the checks notes SEVENTH time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Exactly, he can't afford indoor venues and he'll only get a thousand or so once it's at a location that charges parking. Gotta be cheap to produce and free to attend or it'll be empty.

[–] Bonesince1997 24 points 4 months ago

You won't want to miss it!

I'm Kamala Harris and I approve this message.

[–] FlyingSquid 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If nothing else, it increases the chances that a bird will shit on his head.

Maybe then he'll stop getting mad at windmills.

[–] Olhonestjim 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I still wish that bald eagle had ripped his face off.

[–] RizzRustbolt 1 points 4 months ago

Or if he had taken a bite of that taco salad and had the shell jam into the roof of his mouth.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Comments section becoming a master class in insinuating assassination jokes without saying it

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I blame the mods.

Why can't I just pseudononymously call for the death of elected officials ⁽ᶦⁿ ᵐᵒᵒⁿᵇᵃˢᵉ ᵃˡᵖʰᵃ⁾ in peace?

Best of luck to the next guy!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It would be better to focus our efforts on getting folks out to vote rather than wishing death upon a man. A strong turnout would be an easy win for Kamala.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Wishing for someone to attack your rivals is something Trump does. A lot.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Surely you consider yourself to be a better person than Trump, right? So don't use his shitty behavior to excuse your own.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I want to be a better person than my enemies, but I make an exception for my conduct towards them specifically. Nobody ever won a fight by being nice, and I have no moral qualms about wishing for someone to reap what they so relentlessly sow.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

No, at this point Trump is his own worst enemy. Better he stay alive than die and become a martyr that the next guy can put words in the mouth of
