“Part of Vice President JD Vance’s security detail was hit by shrapnel from a shell that detonated prematurely during a Marine Corps event in California, according to a report.
The New York Times reported that a 155-millimeter shell fired during a live demo at Camp Pendleton on Saturday for the Marine Corps’ 250th anniversary prematurely detonated, dropping fragments on a motorcycle part of Vance’s motorcade and a California Highway Patrol vehicle.”

They literally brought this on themselves. This is what happens when you’re an arrogant idiot surrounded by loads more arrogant idiots.

Like trying to spitefully piss in your neighbors lawn as we watches, only to shit yourself instead.
Well done assholes.
Unfortunately California still has to clean up the turds.

There’s nothing I can add that wouldn’t make me sound unkind.

Talking about “asking for it.” I honestly can’t think of anyone on either side of the political spectrum who’d actually miss Vance if something happened to him.
He’s trying so hard to be Trump successor but it just isn’t working.

So maybe there is a God after all.

Just an observation: Nobody in the GOP wants Vance to take over for Trump. And Vance has made some comments about being ready to take over for rapidly declining Trump. There are almost certainly plans in place to make sure he never assumes the dictator’s throne.
But which dark triad half-wit will it be? Johnson would have the order of succession but his only strength has been cowardly obedience. So … Miller? Don Jr.?

*“Marines fire artillery on Camp Pendleton nearly every week, from High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems to M777 Howitzers,” it said. “Indirect weapon systems, such as the M777, are designed to fire over the heads of friendly forces to achieve effects on our adversary. We trust this system with our lives.”*
Apparently yes you do trust it with your lives. “No injuries were reported”
Also in case you were wondering, third in line is Mike Johnson

Amazing that JD Vance argued for this, and Newsom argued against it for safety reasons. Like duh… at least they were able to shut down the highway for regular traffic.

Yeah, I bet Vance is thinking Hegseth had something to do with it. No honor amongst thieves.

Do not JD’s presence distract you from the fact that the US military just detonated live ammunition over a civilian interstate freeway.

This is dumbest presidential administration, endangering the safety of Americans.

This was a PR stunt. They meant to have this happen when/where it did. There’s no chance this was accidental.

There were “warning: live fire” signs all over our freeways. This shit not normal

WHOOPS.
Who ever could have predicted this??? Oh, that’s right. Everyone.
I chalk this up to stupidity, but I also wouldn’t be all that surprised if Trump was trying to off yet another VP.

Wouldn’t be the first time Trump tried to have his VP killed

So now what do you schmucks have to say to Gov. NEWSOME who was correct in blocking the hwy for safety.

It’s almost like detonating artillery shells over a freeway is a BAD idea…

He tried to take out Pence and Vance.

So close to winning a Darwin Award.
