U.S. — Secret Service has reported that former President Donald Trump sustained only minor injuries in an assassination attempt, leaving the number of dead Presidential candidates at one. 
 "We can now confirm there is only one dead Presidential candidate," announced Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham. "Praise the Lord that former President Trump is alright." 
 The nation breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that there was still one remaining Presidential candidate with a pulse. "I'm just so glad one of our leaders is still alive," said local woman Allison Thompson. "It would be such a tragedy to have lost both Presidential candidates." 
 At publishing time, America had expressed its deep gratitude for its one leader that not only was alive, but was calm enough under literal gunfire to let the nation know he was okay.

    There is a time for sarcastic dark humor.
This is not such a time.

    The seriousness of the assassination attempt restrains me from laughing at this time.

    While we in the humor/satire department, somebody needs to post: 
- The Monty Python Black Knight quote: "'Tis only a flesh wound." 
 - The Maxwell Smart meme: "Missed it by -that- much." 
 - The Star Trek meme: "He's dead, Jim." (about the shooter) 
 - The Stalin meme: "Dark humor is like food; not everyone gets it."

    I think so too. Inches away from Trump having his head explode on TV is deadly serious. People need to be held accountable.

    Too soon!
I am appalled and disgusted by this news (found out about it only 15 minutes ago, here on FR), and am certainly not yet in the mood for humor.
Regards,
