    Maybe if you have no idea what's actually going on in the US.

      I think they meant as a percentage of the population. Americans with the second amendment are notoriously docile little pups when it comes to protesting anything, let alone the illegitimately installed head of their state actively destroying their country their are so notoriously patriotic about.

      Are you suggesting that people just open fire on one of the most protected individuals in the world? How do you suppose that would play out in reality?

      I think 2a is a joke and those that have used it as a crutch for these specific moments are a bunch of hypocrites, but attempting to actually assassinate the POTUS is not realistic at all. I'd cut them some slack if they exercised their rights to stop the indiscriminate kidnappings by ICE, but here we are.

            Well, that’s how things happen in France, Syria and a lot of other places historically. It’s already played out twice in the last year.

            And because of the complete complacency in the citizenry first with Citizens United, then the failure to hold him to criminal account for his many crimes and endless quid pro quo, and the stacking of the supreme court turning him into a king, the bullet is actually the only way to stop him. That or waiting till he collapses, which could be a while.

            There are no more elections or protests to get rid of him. The concentration camps are being built and filled. The only thing left is to get all your highly individualised asses who don’t even know the concept and power of unions and banding together and form a militia.

            The complacency is absolutely insane to see from abroad.

            PS: and learn from JFK: have multiple shooters not just one.

              I don't think you understand.

              1000001812

              https://www.democracynow.org/2025/6/16/no_kings

              just pointing out, Scotland only has 5.5 million people living in it.

              1000001813

              that would mean for Scotland to "do a better job at protesting this fuck than the US." every single man, woman, child and elder would have to be in your streets right now.

              how shit is that, you can't even organize 5 million people for a simple protest.

              update: I'm not even going to wait on this because the numbers are abysmal. Edinburgh is calling in "hundreds" of protestors and I'll give the benefit of the doubt to Scotland and say there's 1000 protestors nationwide.

              many of you twats argued it should be measured by per capita, so let's do that.

              Scotland

              • population 5,500,000
              • trump golf protest 1000
              • per capita 0.00018

              in comparison to the US.

              • population 347,411,739
              • no kings 5,000,000
              • per capita 0.014

              but hey, it's not a competition, I just don't like it when someone denigrates the efforts of people to make themselves feel better. I know what you're thinking, "aren't you being a little hypocritical?" no I'm not, because I'm simply calling out bullshit with facts.

              those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

              don't like it? tough shit. next time don't talk shit and there won't be shit.

                  thank you for telling Americans how they are being Americans wrong from the comfort of your own country.

                  it swells my heart with pride knowing that a Frenchman is telling my countrymen how to be more American by assassinating their leaders. going as far as glorifying the assassination of one of our most beloved leaders as a blueprint.

                  we will gladly risk life imprisonment at a darksite in a tiny windowless cell, where we will never see our families or loved ones again. All because YOU said we should do it.

                  we will risk death so that you can go back to feeling slightly less inconvenienced in your country, France.

                  can you please forgive us lowly peasants for ever questioning you?

                  suck my dick

                  it's fucking hilarious that of all the Europeans to come this hard at Americans, it's the fucking French. leave it to the Frenchman to tell someone else to die for a cause they don't have a cause in. no fear of death, nor retribution, nor punishment.

                  will you open your country to my family after the deed is done? I will most likely parish, and my family would be hunted down and killed like animals, if not by the government then by the fanatics. would you risk an open war with America and fight for the protection of my loved ones? Would you feed them, clothe them. Would you allow your countrymen to die for them? would YOU die for them?

                  I didn't think so.

                          To anyone doubting this, there are. Daily even in the rural redneck areas I live.

                          But US media is largely controlled by pedophiles and those who love the suffering of others and like to watch the government collapse - so they don't report on it because it would foster further collaboration and organization.

                              Has he signed an executive order yet that mandates that the press reports that he only wins at golf and gets no fewer that 3 holes-in-one?

                                America's compulsive need to always be right is why you deserve Trump. He is the exact essence of your country.

                                  it's fucking hilarious that of all the Europeans to come this hard at Americans, it's the fucking French. leave it to the Frenchman to tell someone else to die for a cause they don't have a cause in. no fear of death, nor retribution, nor punishment.

                                  will you open your country to my family after the deed is done? I will most likely parish, and my family would be hunted down and killed like animals, if not by the government then by the fanatics. would you risk an open war with America and fight for the protection of my loved ones? Would you feed them, clothe them. Would you allow your countrymen to die for them? would YOU die for them?

                                  I didn't think so.

                                    Trump also thinks this is acceptable:

                                      Can't, they put up a massive fence out to a distance of like half a mile and then surrounded it with thousands of cops, no way I can throw eggs that far which is a shame because it's actually in reasonable commute distance.

                                        thank you for telling Americans how they are being Americans wrong from the comfort of your own country.

                                        it swells my heart with pride knowing that a Frenchman is telling my countrymen how to be more American by assassinating their leaders. going as far as glorifying the assassination of one of our most beloved leaders as a blueprint.

                                        we will gladly risk life imprisonment at a darksite in a tiny windowless cell, where we will never see our families or loved ones again. All because YOU said we should do it.

                                        we will risk death so that you can go back to feeling slightly less inconvenienced in your country, France.

                                        can you please forgive us lowly peasants for ever questioning you?

                                          These can get an impressive range to a water balloon. Reduce the mass with an egg and 1/2 mile is likely (just) within range.

                                          I would say stink bombs are even lighter, but I doubt Trump can even smell them, over his own stink.
