Bulletins and News Discussion from July 8th to July 14th, 2024 - Nevertheless, He Persisted

Image is of the Big Wet Boy surviving an assassination attempt with his Matrix-esque bullet dodging skills.

Trump's victory, and the further mass oppression of minorities, is closer than ever before. May god have mercy on our souls.

The COTW (Country of the Week) label is designed to spur discussion and debate about a specific country every week in order to help the community gain greater understanding of the domestic situation of often-understudied nations. If you've wanted to talk about the country or share your experiences, but have never found a relevant place to do so, now is your chance! However, don't worry - this is still a general news megathread where you can post about ongoing events from any country.

The "Country" of the Week is South Korea! Feel free to chime in with books, essays, longform articles, even stories and anecdotes or rants. More detail here.

Okay what the fuck, I disappear for a few days after my son's birth and I miss the assassination attempt on Big Don T. What a world, this is why one should never log off. What a moment for the dumbass undecided voter who votes on pure unfiltered vibes, one guy can barely talk while the other guy gets shot and then raises his fist in victory. Say what you want about Donny, but there hasn't been such a good showman politician in a long time. His brain scattering on the floor would've been funnier and more iconic, but this is better for the accelerationists here, a more unhinged Trump on a revenge tour might just send America deeper into the spiral. Trump dying would mean that the old party heads nominate some robot loser who wins and actually stabilises the deep brainworms.

  I've seen the footage of the attempt and it's very obvious that he knew exactly what he was doing. He gets stopped mid-sentence by the bullet and the Secret Service comes barreling up the steps to cover him with their bodies from potential further attacks, and as he's being moved down the steps in a clump, he purposefully stops them and raises his fist before moving on.
  I think that's the best political acumen I have ever seen a major US politician demonstrate. Period. In a single hand motion, it shifts the entire event from one of panic and despair, to one of brave resistance against the "communist Brandonist totalitarian woke regime" or whatever. I don't think any other US politician would have the wherewithal in the immediate aftermath of almost being killed to do that, they'd just GTFO. Trump has contentbrain and it worked very well for him here.
  
  he was clipfarming
- Congrats on your son's birth, comrade
  
  Hope your wife recovers easily and little man isn't too difficult
- I can't believe you had the audacity to go out and touch grass for multiple days in a row.
- You and the wife get to the cluster feedings phase? Hearing from my friend and the family's journey into parenthood have taught me that being a parent for the first few months is a really arduous period
  
  Not yet, the lil boy is just a week old and it's a bit too early I think. He hasn't been a difficult kid so far, he's sleeping a lot and the only minor problem is that he's slower than normal during breastfeeding, but that's apparently normal with kids that are born a few weeks premature. I have just been a spectator so far, my wife, her mom and my mom have been completely dominating the show and taking care of everything. Arab family structure rules when it comes to stuff like that, it feels nice to have like 20 people to count on in these hard early months
  
  Wow only a week old, and counting! It's always a nice feeling having close and extended family in your life to share the joys and burdens of childhood with. I hope you're taking some time to practice honing your dad jokes and pun skills now that you're Mr. Abu LargePenis
  
  I'm already pulling an incredible Arab dad routine, I'm playing Quran in the car, started wearing my glasses instead of lenses, and my friends have all switched to calling me Abu Hassan instead of my name.
- Chad: you gotta hand it to Trump, he took a bullet to the ear like a champ
  Cuck: he fucking missed
  
  The next ranking will be so powerful, I'm writing down all these events in my notes app for the next ranking. I'll publish it if I find 30 mins of peace next week
