I'm glad he survived. His life should be full in quantity and empty of quality.
Yeah, but imagine if they retaliate and assassinate Biden? Wouldn't that be... interesting.
I'm considering what the impact would be on the election if it were Harris running, for example
Biden has a clear successor. Trump doesn't. The assassination of a head of state would draw sympathy worldwide. The state funeral would be huge. Right now, Trump is still just some politician running for office.
I fucking hate this meta but we literally are at the point where Joe Biden should seriously consider faking his own death.
This should be an option for all politicians. You can fake your own death, then you get put in to Witness Protection and can retire to a quiet, peaceful life on a ranch in Wyoming. Quit without having to deal with slack from party leaders.
A great system for escaping war crimes.
did you miss the part where they have to live in Wyoming
I drove through Wyoming once and it was all grass and prairie dust on the side of the road except for a sign that said "Little America 100 miles" and further advertising every 20 miles until one that said "next exit".
So what is the "Little America" they hyped up? It's a rest stop with a gift shop and a Sinclair fuel station 🥴
Haha, we have some signs like that here advertising a cave (tourist attraction in an area with little else).
Not needed. They already escape war crimes.
The first choice for me would obviously be to send them to the Hague, but we gotta realise that we can't always get what we want 100% of the time, so I think quiet retirement is better than staying in power.
Kind of hard considering you can't interact with literally anyone without them going "hey, aren't you joe biden?"
"No, man. I'm Edward Schmitt, but I get told that a lot, so I took up doing Biden impersonations. Wanna see some? Sad what happened to the real Biden though."
i am not convinced yet that trump didn't just fake his own assassination attempt. given the footage going around, it looks extremely fakeable.
An actual shot to the ear would be way too risky for a false flag. But if it turns out to be true that the ear injury was from teleprompter shrapnel instead of a bullet, that might be a different story.
