Depends on how the assassination is done. If it’s a headshot on trump, Vance will likely be president. If someone flies an IED drone into the two of them and they both die in the explosion, that’s different.
Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?

pretty unlikely, but two people have already tried…
So i guess we can’t leave cards off the table. Just needs the correct moment, and opportune time, which is going to be a huge pain point for any would attempter. If there are any, they’re likely to be like the first two.
Not to mention we would have JD vance as president at that point, and honestly, i have no idea what happens after that.

a friend and i theorized the chain of succession, it doesn’t look good, unless you get chuck grassley, who is 4th iirc. Might actually be good, he’s like 91 though.
Everyone beyond that seems equally dogshit but i didn’t bother looking. I figure you would have to go through like 30 people, before getting a solid one.

I thought you were exaggerating that he’s 91. Our government has too many ancient farts, maybe.

Hes the best option we have under the current trump admin, this admin is a fucking meme bro.

Nobody tried, who believes that farce?

people who live in reality? They’ve been the two most real attempts in recent history.
Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 week ago
There is no way they would allow someone to get on a roof this close.
Certainly not be on there for long when he already was spotted and reported to the police long before.
The ridiculous ‘wound’ that completely healed in 4 days,
If it were real he would also be under a pile of secret agents and you wouldn’t see an inch of him.
They certainly wouldn’t let him get up for the pompous posed picture with the raised fist.
A complete farce, you would have to be a gullible and not so smart american to believe this embarrassing pathetic spectacle.KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week ago
brother, you’re a conspiracy theorist.
It’s questionable how he got up there, but evidently, he did, and they fucking killed him.
From what i’ve read, he crawled up there shortly before/after trump got up to speak, he hadn’t exactly been sitting up there the entire time. Trump literally was under a pile of secret agents, that was the first thing they did. It’s likely they confirmed shooter down by the point he stood up, if not, trump was just stupid. He’s done stupider things.
the “would” was definitely interesting, but it’s clearly not even a wound. So therefore, yes it could heal in four days, especially if you have extended healthcare for it.
Oh btw, that kid was reported to police, who weren’t in contact with secret service, for some reason. This is all known information. People were trying to draw attention to him, before he started shooting.
A complete farce, you would have to be a gullible and not so smart american to believe this embarrassing pathetic spectacle.
you must not be familiar with assassination attempts historically. Did you know some dude just walked up to shinzo abe and shot him point blank with a pipe shotgun? Surely that wasn’t real.

The Republicans puppet him into walking back the most insane shit while they continue destroying every institution they care to. Nothing gets better. We get slightly worse predictions about what the fascists in charge are going to do next, but it’ll still be terrible.

they haven’t done anything significant in a month, there’s been tariffs sure, but that was delayed a month already. Lame duck president if i’ve ever seen anything.
MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week ago
That’s not what lame duck means. And sending people to prison in Guantanamo Bay, El Salvador, and Panama is pretty significant. They can’t even find one of the legal guys who has been ordered to be returned to the US. US (possibly world) heading for economic recession if not depression. Inflation and lack of work like you’ve never seen unless you’re 100 years old. We’ve got an anti vaccine fuckwit in charge of healthcare. An unelected oligarch has dismantled large portions of the federal government. They’ve got their eyes on social security, Medicare, and Medicaid. It’s certainly not nothing.

yeah that’s technically true, but they’ve done basically everything they already can, nothing happening today is “new” it’s old news. That’s what i mean when i say “lame duck”
And technically, from the perspective of nearly no consequences, this is literally a lame duck president all the way through, but that’s not really a fully accurate telling.
you don’t need to tell me what this administration is bad at, trust me, i know.
