How sick was it from ollie to kick-flip?
I’m sick that the dude had such awful aim, tbh
It’s sick! 😎
Or?
It’s sick! 🤢
It’s radical
Would’ve been wicked sick if they’d succeeded :D
Too bad about that :-\
Can we please fucking not?
The man deserves to have his wealth dispersed among the needy, and to be put into an isolated care facility while the world quickly forgets about his existence. We don’t need to make his mark on history any larger by making him a martyr.
How’s that wealth dispersal and prison plan going by the way? Not good? To shreds you say? Huh. Oh well.
Martyrs martyrize a particular movement. There’s no platform for Trump, it’s literally just the person and whatever he says/feels like/is angry about.
Last I checked rape was on their list of reasons for the death penalty. Makes sense why it is Republicans shooting at him. The justice system failed to put him in the ground where they wanted him
Better a martyr than a president.
It’s why you aim for center mass rather than going for the headshot
Bitchin
pretty sick indeed
Biden says trump assassination attempt is radical, sick, and even gnarly
Reports that the president was later heard remarking to staffers that, in addition, it was also, “mega bodacious,” and “tubular to the max.” Unsubstantiated rumors follow that the president punctuated this statement with a “cowabunga.” More as this develops.
One might even say ‘gnar’
That was sick yoooooo
Bruh sick as hell
What a perfect comment to be interpreted in whichever way someone wants to interpret it.

Golf clap for the man putting two words together in the right order.
These are the guys competing for US presidency? The real leaders of the country are laughing their ass off right now.
Sickening indeed. How can you get that close and fuck up your one job…
Shooter forgot to allow for the cloud of bullshit-laden hot air emanating from the target.
It was still a distance shoot at that range, and apparently those are actually harder to hit than media marksmanship makes it seem
There’s a lot of armchair snipers all of a sudden who are saying they can hit a few inch group at 100 yards with their eyes closed.
Given lemmy’s demographic, I’m not sure how many of these people have actually held a rifle, let alone tried to shoot it at +100 yards while under a time crunch and stress.
Not saying what the kid did was right, but criticism of his marksmanship isn’t really fair.
But those armchair snipers aren’t actively trying to shoot the US president. I mean if I were to do it I would make sure I won’t get killed for nothing
They just feel teased by the botched shot is all, they’ll probably shut up about it once Trump inevitably manages to spectacularly blow any sympathy he might have gained over this, as he is often want to do.
Guy’s gonna hit the circuits like a lightning bolt about this, and inevitably he’s gonna say something that puts it right back into everyone’s head what exactly he’s proposing for his second term.
It’s absolutely wild to think about, it’s the first campaign in history where both candidates survive mostly on a strategy of talking as little as humanly possible and under as controlled circumstances as humanly possible.
The way to win is to actively avoid reminding everyone that the candidate you support is one of the candidates, because of just how much the media has poisoned the well that this very obvious outcome is some unforeseen portent of oncoming doom because gasp two first term presidents are seeking the second term.
Like what in fuck were people expecting was gonna happen, a divine intervention? Joe’s literally said that it’d take that much at minimum to convince him to hand the reins even to Kamala, nevermind how Donny would probably spit in the eye of god himself at the suggestion that anyone but him, even a magically created exact copy of him in a younger body, should take over the campaign.
😏
I see what you did thereCould you explain it to me? I don’t really know the meaning of “it’s sick” (Is it ill?)
Sick is said as a bad thing. But in teenager slang it can be used as something cool.
That’s why biden used this double meaning word… I see.
No. It only has that meaning if you’re 14 and very edgy. No adult will use it like a teenager would.
nerd.
Ah yes, only 14 year olds skateboard and/or surf. Lol
Sick has had this meaning since like… The 70s or 80s. Its not just edgy teens. In fact I suspect that this has probably fallen out of favor with gen alpha.
So if anything, I think you probably have that exactly backwards
Still at least two generations newer than any slang Biden would use.
“The shooting was the bee’s knees.”
Oh for sure, my comment wasn’t literal. No way does Biden have the presence of mind to make a slick response like that
It’s been around for a long time but you stop using it like that once you have a sliver of adulthood. The point being that no Biden did not use it as a double entendre.
He clearly didn’t intend it to mean anything else but the literal meaning
It is totally ill bro
Do you have a license, to ill?
Trump’s grazed in the ear, inches away from death. That’s sick, man.
Sick can be used either to refer to something unfortunate (as in ill), or to refer to something really awesome. It’s just casual American slang.
It’s just casual American slang.
We used to use it in Australia in the 2000s too. If something was very awesome, it was “fully sick”.
Thorpey says it’s fully sick!
I was thinking of that ad when I wrote the comment!
Calling something sick is far more than unfortunate, it’s closer to demented or disgusting
Not to be confused with “ill” as in awesome.
