A special kind of chuckle.
"hehe…^FUCK. "
I agree, she’s not the candidate I’d want leading the dems—far from it. But people are used to voting between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich as their president. Biden is something different, more agreeable than some other candidates the Dems have run. But people are seriously concerned about voting for a man who’s mental acuity is declining rapidly towards senility and very possibly will not live through 2028.
Plus, I haven’t read too far into it but I’ve heard that only Kamala would be able to use the Biden/Harris campaign war-chest. It’s sad as hell that that is so important, but it is nonetheless.
That’s no attempt, that’s instant death.
True, I’m just saying that if someone wants to assassinate a current or former American President, that would be a massively more difficult hit.
The Abe killer was unscreened (like everyone else in attendance), and managed to walk directly up to Abe from behind and fire shots from 7, then only 5 metres away.
Regardless, meme funny.
It’s not like the Japanese Prime Minister (and former Prime Ministers) don’t have security, but the disparity of security compared to US Secret Service protected individuals is huge.
The fact that the killer managed to get so close to Abe without being screened is indicative of the fact that such an attack was so unexpected in Japan.
Sure! All you need is a small loan of a million dollars.
I mean, this isn’t an awful idea…
The real world logistics probably make this more complicated than implied, but I don’t mind the intent.
sperm hehe

This would make a ton of sense if your choice of Lemmy instance were not just that; a choice. It’s not a characteristic innate to your being that you’re born with or something.
You can choose to associate with whatever instance you want and swap it up with another account somewhere else if you want at any time (you can prob keep the same username if you want too).
As of a few years ago at least, most Taiwanese people were in favour of keeping relations as they are and neither expanding nor severing Chinese relations from status quo. They already operate as their own country, so a push towards further separation is mostly only symbolic anyway and they don’t want to provoke China and their current peace for a symbolic gesture. I think that by treating Taiwan as its own country but not identifying it as such, we are acting as most Taiwanese wish.
Y’know nobody forced you to write this.
