Don't forget, the volunteer firefighter was MAGA, so...

There's no God, if there was the bullet would have hit Trump in the face. But just like Hitler he evaded every attempt on his life. Honestly, the resemblance with Hitler is insane. Doesn't drink alcohol, has weird hair, spreads hate and fear, targets minorities, sends them to a concentration camp across the border, targets judges, media and politicians opposing him. Only difference is that Hitler actually improved the German economy, something Trump fails misseably at.

When John Paul II was shot he first thanked the guiding hand of the Virgin Mary for moving the bullet away from his heart. Didn't give so much merit to the team of doctors who fought to save his life, and didn't wonder why Mary didn't move the bullet completely out of the way.

LOL, if they showed a 5.56 bullet at actual size people wouldn't believe it's so tiny.

The thing that I will never not think about is how, given the distance and human reaction time and other factors, it's very likely that the shooter had Donald dead to rights when he pulled the trigger. Then, God's favorite idiot jerked his head to the side like he always does when he speaks, probably around the exact same moment the shooter pulled the trigger, and instead of blowing the back of his head clean off, it grazed his ear. I'm not sure anyone can convince me that the shooter didn't fuck up; Donald just got incredibly, unbelievably lucky.

and this is why we aim for centre mass

Yea, if that kid would have gone to any form of military basic training MAGA would be gone now. Hell, they may have moved on and become a normal republican populist movement that hated businesses and banks (as the historic norm).

The Tea Party (2008-2009ish) was the first modern populist movement to get mass mind controlled by big money. People were losing their houses in the mortgage crisis, and people were duped into rallying against a mortgage relief program.

The entire relief program was proposed at 700 billion, with 46 billion for mortgage relief ... but republicans got steered and focused at the mortgage relief portion and the Tea Party formed.

Yep. Even if Donald has been wearing body armor, I'm not sure his 78 year old probably on blood thinners ass would've been able to take it.

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 17 points 2 hours ago (5 children)

He was not struck with a bullet. It was shrapnel from one of the nearby screens. There's a reason they didn't release the first medical report and took a week to get their favorite lying doctor (who is not a practice doctor any longer because he's in Congress) to release his own lie filled report.

A bullet would have torn off a hunk of his ear. We've seen the lack of wound within days of the event.

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 8 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

This is the first time I heard of this and made me really curious. I tried my best to find any proof, confirmations or fact checking sites backing up this claim, but nada. Either the dude has succesfully paid literally everyone to lie, or, sometimes the truth sounds worse than a lie and our cognitive function really wants approvals for that.

If you have something solid, please send it to me, wish I could use this argument, but at this point I'd feel like yellow press

[–] abdominable@lemm.ee 6 points 1 hour ago

After much debate, the FBI report settled on bullet or bullet shrapnel but there was no conclusive evidence as Cheeto bandito refused to be checked out or let doctors talk about it.

The idea above was an initial theory by Internet no lifers. The more common one now is that he hit his head on a secret service pistol when ducking.

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 1 points 36 minutes ago

The proof is in that hidden first doctor report that they refused to publish before getting the guy who tried to tell us he was a trim 230 and 6'3" to make the statement.

And the fact that we could see his ear days afterwards without a scratch on it. Given that this is medical in nature, the number of people who even had access to that is small, and right wing media will repeat whatever lie he tells, it suits their narrative best. Regardless of how obviously untrue it is

A bullet would have to actually hit the ear for what you describe. But I guess you have a vested interest in not at least trying to understand this.

You understand that the space-time we inhabit, or at least I do, has a very high resolution? The bullet can be any distance at all from the ear as it flies by.

Is this clear?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago

People seem to think it should have torn his ear clean off. Bullets can barely nick things.

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 1 points 32 minutes ago* (last edited 32 minutes ago)

Yes, I understand that a bullet would have had to actually hit him for it to cause a bullet wound. Which he clearly did not have given how minor it was and quickly it healed. And that he hid the real doctor's report.

It's usually the most vile beings that get to live their life to the fullest...

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 13 points 3 hours ago

I don't think that's necessarily true. I've had the great joy to know a few exceptionally content people through the years, and while they might not be yucking it up on a yacht somewhere, I also get the distinct impression that they're all around happier and more at peace than the likes of Musk and Trump are. Folks have raised the hypothesis that the ultra-wealthy are just hoarders but wealth instead of trash, hoping that maybe just this next billion will finally bring them contentment, and it never does. I've come to suspect that that hypothesis holds at least some water.

According to Trump himself, he looked down to check his notes right when the shot was fired. It's a rare incident where I believe him.

He fired the whole bullet. That's 30 percent more bullet per bullet!

[–] frezik@midwest.social 12 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Odd, because that's usually the sort of basic firearms mistake that right wingers love to use as a gotcha.

[–] JudahBenHur@lemm.ee 5 points 1 hour ago

its nearly certainly AI that drew the cartridge flying with a white male hand touching it

VOLUNTEER firefighter? That sounds like woke socialist bullshit to me, should've smited him instead. /s
