menthe Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Does anyone think anything different? Any comments? Maybe memes you have seen? Lori, you are the only person I know who actually has a vote, so do you think as I do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 There are already the conspiracy theories out there that HE planned his own assassination attempt to bolster his fan base. 🙄 I think he was already a shoe-in before the attack, thanks to the idiot democrats. But, I'm confident it will boost his base. I also think it will encourage other similar attacks - on BOTH parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitfrench Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 (edited) Obese and very bright orange. How the hell did they miss ? I reckon that this event has cemented his next election. The thing is, how many people is he going to kill with his stupidity during the next 4 years he is in power. A lot a guess. Probably most of humanity. Remember kids, drink bleach to cure covid. And don’t worry about climate change…it won’t kill you, just the heat it causes. Putin is a great guy. The world is in a terrible place at the moment.

Perhaps they will now think seriously about the gun laws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only it were so. Not in a million years or even after a million gun shot deaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lehaut Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 14 hours ago, menthe said: seriously about the gun laws? Guns don't kill, people do. So if you get rid of the people, you get rid of the problem. 302 mass shooting up to end of June 2024, 40,000 gun related deaths in 2023 so they are working on it.

menthe Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 Lehaut, that is very, very scary! Just as well I use an adblocker and can't actually read your link! There are some things better unseen because I have good visual memory and once seen I would find it near impossible to unsee them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Yes, I saw the headlines from the U.S. that vending machines selling ammunition were going to be installed. So, you can then stock up your bullets while purchasing a cold drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menthe Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 Lori, yes, that seems to be the reality. As though buying ammunition for your gun is something as routine and casual as buying chewing gum! I hope I never have to live in a society like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Petomane Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 I was touring Vermont in 1989 and came across a village store which had the sign "GUNS, AMMO, CHEDDAR." I bought some cheddar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

menthe Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 I used to go to a guns and knives shop to collect my mondial relai parcels but, as that was a specialist shop, I expected the sale of these types of goods. I suppose with Decathlon, you could say shooting is after all a sport, an Olympic sport no less. It's not like dispensers and ammo selling next to cheese, is it?

Loiseau Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Those French guns and knives shops always give me the shivers. I can't think of a legitimate use for the knuckledusters, never mind the Bowie blades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

menthe Posted July 17 Author Share Posted July 17 No, Martin, that post was in jest and Nick does like a joke! In an earlier post, in reply to Lori, I'd already said I hoped no one else would be attacked like that. This last post was a riposte to Nick's reference to Baldwin whose murder case was dismissed and the ex Trump bit was because he is referred to as the ex president and also to recall the Monty Python's joke about a dead parrot being called an ex parrot. I am not a Trump fan, nor am I a Jo Brand fan....don't like either of them. However, I do not wish them a violent death! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a fine line…..we are talking about Trump not a politician. Trump. He is up there with rest of humanités ********* He was found by a judge (as I understand it) to have raped a woman. So he a rapist..As I understand it https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/19/trump-carroll-judge-rape/ He is a convicted criminal. We know that. Then there was the Capitol event….where people died. He is now poised to be the next American president again....and he will reap hell on Europe. He will. Because people don’t like him. Nothing more nothing less. We are not talking about a politician here….we talking about Trump. Edited July 17 by alittlebitfrench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
