Hey man, nice shot
What a good shot man.
What a nice shot man.
That was back when politicians actually felt shame.
Was it shame, or the system actually holding corrupt politicians accountable? I miss those days.
And all he did was take a bribe to give a sweetheart deal to a tech company.
Today’s politicians do more criminal shit than that before they’ve had breakfast!!
What is this actually a picture of? I don’t get the joke.
I believe that’s R. Budd Dwyer; he’s pulling a revolver out of that envelope just before shooting himself in the head.
Trump doing that would be dark?
we still joke how Hitler wasn’t that bad, because by the end he killed Hitler.
He would never do that, he’s too narcissistic. Let the copious amounts of Filet o Fish and lack of vegetables do him in. I’m sure that would be a lot more painful and miserable than an instant gunshot.
It might be fast food. It might be ending civilization in a nuclear firestorm. Guess we’re gonna find out!
I don’t want him to die. I want him to be convicted, to be humiliated, and to suffer in prison.
And then die in prison
The difference is that Dwyer did it on live television, in a highly publicized press statement. Cameras didn’t cut away.
Trump doing that would be so memeable though.
I’d buy a t-shirt for every unique camera angle.
I think the dark part is that the punchline is a man who killed himself on live television
I will be disappointed if Trump dosent die infornt of a camera.
Dunno. I’d be satisfied if he died on his own, forgotten, abandoned, somewhere cold and dark.
Hey man, nice shot.
I don’t know anything about him or why he shot himself, but I remember it looked like he felt bad for scaring the the people in the room with the gun, and so quickly finished it off.
He was a politician who was caught having accepted a bribe, basically, which seems bizarrely mundane today.He said something to the effect of “Don’t look, this will affect you” before he did it, too… petty self-aware for someone who’s about to kill themselves in front of a crowd.
Edit: The wikipedia article actually has it in there.
After he had finished speaking and handing out the notes to his staffers, Dwyer grabbed a manila envelope and drew a Model 19 .357 Magnum revolver from it, causing others to panic. Dwyer backed up against the wall, holding the weapon close to his body, and said, “Please, please leave the room if this will — if this will affect you.”
[…]
Several people in the room pleaded with Dwyer to surrender the gun or tried to approach him and seize the weapon. Dwyer warned against either action, saying as his last words: “This will hurt someone”. Dwyer then killed himself with a single shot through the roof of the mouth. His death was recorded by at least five running news cameras.
R. Budd Dwyer
I find the line “Property damage - Bullet hole in wall” fucking wild.
Wikipedia editors man, going to the finest of details
Pretty sure it’s the guy who offed himself on camera because of some politics stuff, I think involving a bribe
don’t threaten me with good time
threatens you with a tickle fight
This is an amazing video on what happens to a human after the shot to the head. Massive exit of blood through the nose. I haven’t watched it in years but it’s burned into my memory
Same when shot in the neck.
Is what happens when you aren’t very aware of anatomy and run the risk of actually not hitting the brain.
The ‘gun under the chin’ method can lead you to shoot out your nose and eyes, but still survive. Now if there’s a gusher you’d probably hit the brain enough. But ear to ear is way more likely to actually instantly kill you.
Good to know, thank you!
Id say ‘happy to help’, in this case in happy to spread knowledge
You can’t imagine how helpful you’ve been!
Haven’t heard an r budd dryer joke since Opie and Anthony days.
The classics return
I’ve seen a few, you just gotta take a shot at it. 🤷
Budd, no!
Hahahaha this is the kind of dark humor I love. 🖤
maybe one day that’ll happen
That really lightened the mood.
wow didn’t know about this guy till I read the stuff here. The politicians’ threshold for feeling shame / fear of punishment sure has gone down the drain.
