Tesla makes limos now?
This is gold, Jerry. GOLD!
My first thought. Maybe the Russian equivalent: president’s billionaire buddy has a Russian luxury car factory propped up by government money, riddled with problems.
Yes, it’s the new tesler, it’s the greatest car in the world according to this note I got, I love tesler by the way.
It would have been great if it was with Putin inside.
Damn you’d be banned on Reddit for saying that!
Only if I’d wish if Musk would be in it right? Since it’s a limo, it would have been great if Putin, Trump, Vance and Musk would be in it.
Let’s rebuild the Titan sub and restart important exploration trips to the Titanic! That’s a great idea for the uber rich! We all want to know what happened to the Titanic in great details. I have a super Nintendo knockoff controller they can use this time around. Also make it out of aluminum and do high pressure oxygen tests with the crew inside. I hear those are fun events.
Just put Putin, Trump, Vance and Musk in a Cybertruck, it will explode on its own probably
Honestly, I don’t care how dude. As long as they are removed from society ASAP.
I’d say the chances are 50/50 those 4 would be in Putin’s limo at any given time.
You’d get thrown out of a window in Russia for saying that
No one has been thrown out a window in Russia, what a baseless accusation about very tragic suicides. Now please, shoot yourself in the back of the head three times and then zip yourself into a duffel bag.
Better edit it to “I wish Putin all my thoughts and prayers. I hope he gets a new better limo as a result. The world is so unfair. Also ceasefire for Ukraine lol.”
Maybe remove the last part.
Too true. I was just banned on Reddit for liking too many pro-Luigi posts
Next stop: banning folks just for looking/spending too much time on these posts.
Saying stuff not even as direct as that is what got me permanently banned and the reason that I’m here now
Reddit really chose to side with evil

What does a ban on reddit have to do with lemmy?
What are they gonna do, send a strongly worded letter to their lemmy instance?
For real? Has reddit reached that level?
He will get window treatment. Coming soon.
Don’t get my hopes up
Is it … the … beginning?
I thought the same when the funny hot dog man turned war-criminal marched a surprising distance into Russia.
Nothing ever happens. :(
The usual thing happened…and then things got worse. Russian history 101 and NOW American history 101.

It was r/NonCredibleDefense’s finest hour. A golden age. The promised Thunder Run to Moscow
I think it’s a nothingburger.
The headline is mistaken. I checked out an article with photos from the scene.
The limousine was authentic. The place was nice, a few blocks from the FSB headquarters.
But there was no “tremendous explosion” - the car just burnt. Every house had its windows intact, the car itself had its windows intact while burning, etc.
Explanations: technical malfunction, passer-by with fire cubes and a lighter.
What’s a fire cube? I’m guessing you’re not referring to the Amazon Fire cube…
I probably don’t know the correct term in English. It’s a product for starting a fire in a wood-fired stove or campfire. A rectanglular block of wood fiber soaked in oil.
Your English was on point, and any outdoorsie types understood you. This is just one of those things that is called different names in different regions.
Maybe something like the solid fuel cubes used for camping. https://www.rei.com/product/653344/esbit-solid-fuel-tablets
Ew what is that
“The attack on my life has left me scarred” 🤣

i know that “nsfw” is technically correct here, but i really wish we’d start to designate between graphic depictions of human anatomy. i was kinda hoping to see some upside-down boobs, tbh :P
that’s the first time i’ve seen this pic of Mussolini. Imagine what it would look like if he wore big suits and bronzer.
Godamnit, swing and a miss. Second time’s the charm.
Wow its dangerous in Russia. Exploding cars, people keep falling out windows, accidentally shooting themselves in the back of the head repeatedly then falling down elevator shafts. Someone should establish some safety programs.
Captured image from the video shows that the hood of the engine compartment had been warped. This means there had been an explosion :

https://www.the-sun.com/news/13897148/putin-limo-exploded-fire-paranoid/Being a clever bastard with a gangster mindset, of course Putin would have been paranoid one way or the other, so that won’t change much I think. But things like that happening - no matter if it will end up being explainable as a proper accident or a failed assassination attempt or whatever - tend to undermine the mythos of being invulnerable and always 3 steps ahead of the game, that people like Putin want to disseminate about themselves. That’s my current hope in the political climate.
“However, media reports have confirmed that no one was injured.”
Try harder.
“I’m not a fan of his politics or anything, but there’s no excuse for attacking other people’s property.” - US conservative “opinion”
Sounds more like a centrist to me.
A centrist is just a conservative who knows that “conservative” is a bad word.
That’s the Mantra of a liberal I’ve ever heard one
once again, i am at odds with lemmy’s definition of “liberal”.
No that’s the actual definition of the word liberal. We got 300 plus years of liberal history to point to. It’s always the same song and dance. Nothing matters more than private property and Law and Order to a liberal. Everything else will be thrown away in favor of those two things. Every. Single. Time.
Hell it’s the original sin of our nation. The great liberal thinkers of the American Revolution. Jefferson and Madison and all the rest. What happened when it came time to fulfill their ideals? What happened when it came time to treat all men equal? Oh we can’t have that if we free the slaves we would be upsetting the order of things and depriving men of their private property. Once you understand that complete and utter Ironclad rule of liberal ideology you’ll understand how the last 300 plus years of human history have played out.
Actual =/= original.
Linguistic prescriptiveness is completely useless in terms of what those terms mean in politics now.
No that’s just a lie you’ve been sold. The behavior still matches. That’s what the last 40 years have been. The neoliberal Takeover of the Democratic Party. I mean you really look at Chuck Schumer and think that labels no longer accurate? Really?
No that’s just a lie you’ve been sold.
No it’s a fact I know because I understand linguistics. Pick up a book sometime.

Personal liberty seems like a minimum standard. I should be able to do anything so long as my actions have no impact on anyone or anything else.
The problems start when these liberties overlap so conplex rules of law are required.
is Putin dead yet? dude’s old. somebody oughta smack him with a skateboard,
edit; comments suggesting some sort of violence against Putin tend to elicit a positive reaction.
curious!? fuckin “change my mind” meme guy has notes, but he might busy abusing his partner
Much like Sadam before him, he has a number of body doubles so even if it did appear he was assassinated in public, probably get some story about a miraculous rescue and recovery if acknowledged ‘Putin’ was in the area at all.
it’s so tedious. Putin, Orban, Trump, Bolsonaro, just an endless stream of vacuous cartoon characters
Need more Luigi’s
For me the tedious part is not the vacuous character but the people who vote for them.
easy problem to fix, just dismantle all the education
Dismantling education is exactly how we got here.
man i love voucher-fed education so much. i rented a house that was owned by an obscure religious group with ties to some old-school women’s suffragist AND super gross racism. they had their little private elementary school right next door and me? wouldn’t a hurt a fly, well, might hurt a fly - all these fucks obsessed with biblical morality checked me out via google, and there’s not much to learn that way
Keep fighting! Freedom fighters are the heroes of our times.
There’s a high chance that the car is just shit… would be nice if it was an actual assassination attempt but honestly who knows.
It’s an Aurus, a Russian luxury brand. Knowing Russian automotive engineering, I’m sure the only part that works properly is the engine, which was developed with help from Porsche.
