Proof that God hates America

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

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

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

Cave Johnson - we're done here!

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.

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.

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

This, I can believe. Now, it's not necessarily true it would've mangled his ear if it was a grazing shot, but a graze likely wouldn't have bled quite as much as Donald's wound did. A small laceration from a piece of plastic that had been, uh, acutely accelerated in his direction makes a lot more sense.

and this is why we aim for centre mass

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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.

Trump would be a martyr and the movement would be 5x worse.

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

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 15 points 10 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.

That volunteer fire-fighter was there to support an adjudicated rapist and general piece of shit

I don't think anything of value was lost.

Obviously, insofar as the meme goes, I'd rather the shooter was the one to survive
