MEGA THREAD - Trump shot but safe, 2 others killed at PA rally
WHAT
- Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump was shot at a rally in PA.
TRUMPS STATEMENT
“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

I’m so over politics in America. This shit is terrifying. People trying to overthrow elections, seniors that are too old to lead, voter suppression, people stuck in disinformation bubbles, and now assassins. Meanwhile, the rich just get richer, and “middle class” life just gets harder and harder.
I have dual citizenship with an EU nation from birth, and this week had made me start to dust off those childhood documents and look into the details of relocating.
Ooo, which one of us you looking at joining?
Doesn't matter, we're not a bunch of tribalistic, bickering children
Anywhere is fine
I mean, there are differences between EU countries! If you're looking to get away from fascism then Hungary might not be your best bet, for example.
France: fun when it comes to politics and strikes, good food etc.
Sweden/Denmark: calmest places on earth. Social climat : hardmode.
Southern europe: cool and laidback.
Hungary is not part of Europe, it's part of Russia
Isn't the president of Hungary literally the EU president at the moment. 🤔

Except sarcasm 😂
They are literally in the EU.
Every time I've read someone shitting on America, and then they mention something like not being American, if you ask where, the question is always avoided.
Good for you. Bye.
Promise you'll leave too?
I have no intention of giving up the fight and fleeing. If progressives who can leave do, those who can’t are doomed to a Republican hellscape.
