I've thought it was a setup all along.

The rapist is much too big of a coward to stand up like he did if there was any chance someone might shoot at him.

The ear thing was a bad special effect. Bullet grazes are a burn path, not a sharp scrape. My experience with piercings suggest that cuts on the ear don't spurt, either. Not vascular enough. Don't take my word for it, though. I'm not any kind of medical expert.

I agree. This smells to high heaven. The shooters family….never interviewed. Never mentioned. No mother, father, siblings , friends. Nothing. No hospital report. No doctors or nurses interviewed or said anything word. Was he taken to a hospital. A “B” movie would have been done better

I agree. I wouldn't put anything at all past that man if it served his interests.

Funny thing about the ear isn't it? And the very sick comments about the dead firefighter's wife. Not just inconsiderate, ill-mannered, inappropriate but completely incomprehensible and sexist. Also knows what exes would want if he were to die. Hmmm. Telling on himself again.

Don't forget Don-old STILL has not released the records from the Butler hospital he was taken to, instead the official statement came from Ronny Jackson who wasn't, you know, *actually there* to witness or be part of his treatment.

Amen God! You are spot on in listing all the same suspicions we all have.

At the rally, JD continued the theme of “they” “ can’t stop us from making America great again.” WTF is “they” ??? one disaffected crazy little shit? If we judge one by his enemies… spare us the fake hero routine.

Classic. HA! “THEY” might merge with “EVERYBODY” in a no value merger. I could not help but think of the old movie “THEM” with giant ants destroying the world.

If it was Biden with the sketchy assassination attempt, DT would be yelling to high heaven that it was FAKE!!!!! So a credible person (Obama or Hillary or ?) from the Dem side needs to advance the theory that it was staged. "I'm not saying it was fake blood, but it sure seemed like a lot of if considering there's no marks on DT's supposedly shot ear."

Interesting how Musk insists that he’s been trying to “maintain neutrality” … then who is it that’s using his X handle to campaign on Drumpf’s behalf ever since Elon invested billions of dollars in the app?

Check the dates on those tweets - the "neutrality" one is from 2022.

All of which means he’s been scamming X users longer than most would imagine.

In other words, he’s been a clear and present danger for almost all the time he’s owned Twitter/X.

“Elon Musk: distorting the nature of free speech and amplifying disinformation since 2022.”

What a legacy.

As best I can tell, the Trump cult is impervious to anything happening here on Earth One. They seem to form some kind of blanket over themselves such that even when they hear one of their ilk sound foolish and quite ignorant, right before their own eyes, they rally and applaud. No humiliation, not even for one another.

When they were wearing mini pads on their ears at the convention is when I knew they were lost to rational thought. That and the depends on the outside of clothing thing.

I met a man once who wore aluminum foil in his hat or, sometimes, as a hat. H was convinced it kept him

…safe from prying extraterrestrial beings. Any questioning him was evidence that YOU were part of this evil plan to read and/or influence his mind. If you didn’t mention any of his peccadilloes, he could seem quite ‘normal’. It was a long time ago, but I’m almost certain he would be wearing a MAGA hat today, for pretty much the same reasons.

I never believed the assassination attempt story it was total BS I’m sitting Europe watching this whole clown show play out and it’s scary if Trump wins the whole planet is in danger. Most European countries are actually working at Trump proofing themselves at present and as for Americas Media what an absolute disgrace they are. I’m getting off my soap box now before I write an essay 🤬

I’m confused. The widow received a check from the “victim” of the attempted assassination. Why? In a case like this wouldn’t the widow receive say, an insurance payout or a settlement of some kind instead of money from the intended victim? Where did the money come from, i.e. the orange 💩 personal account? Or the campaign or the RNC? Thinking rationally as a widow I’d file an insurance claim (assuming they had it). Before insurance would pay I would think an investigation would take place to determine who has liability since it was an accident and more than likely third party. Insurance doesn’t pay that quickly! Very interesting. 🧐 And why would they play the song Ave Maria at a campaign rally? Wouldn’t it make more sense for it to be played at his funeral? Without seeing the event today to witness exactly what transpired, it seems this event may have been orchestrated… as well? Asking for a friend. 😏

You make some excellent points. In my opinion, everything he does is orchestrated. This rally yesterday was the biggest bunch of propaganda bullshit. The whole thing smells like a garbage pile left out in the July sun for a week

I just saw the video from yesterday and OMG! 😳 MAGA is so satanic. Whose idea was it to bring those statues of him? Never mind. I think I’ve got it. For Christian Nationalists, they sure don’t pay attention to the 10 commandments they want posted in every classroom. Like the first one: “Thou shall not have any other gods before me”.

That tffg and his handlers have no other ideas for a campaign theme than revisiting his kotex on the ear glory days is one of the most pathetic things I’ve heard of lately.

I guess “keep me out of jail” isn’t that catchy.

Also the vacuous Lara t was correct, likely for the first time in her life. It is a battle of good versus evil, just not the way she meant. Scary.

I smell a rat, 2,580 away (from San Francisco to be exact). AND AS YOU SAID GOD, THE BLOOD LOOKED FAKE AS HELL. Like when they’d make fake blood for horror movies out of corn syrup. The truth about the “attempt” on his life will emerge eventually. I feel for that that poor family who lost a husband/dad. What a tragedy.

What a joke Elon Musk has become! Everything he’s doing is trying to score points in case Trump wins because he wants a place at the table. How petty do you have to be? The richest man in the world is scrounging around for anything that he can get his hands on, being servile to Trump’s manipulation.
