@laurenboebert “Proof of life?” That’s not a thing. You want @POTUS to prove to you that he’s alive? You aren’t very good as a Member of Congress. Were you better at your old job. Is this pic from those days?
Marjorie Taylor Greene describes how, right before the shooting, she witnessed an angel coming down from heaven that looked like an American flag that saved Donald Trump's life.
HOLY HELL!
With the Trump campaign’s continued refusal to provide any official info about his medical care following the assassination attempt, many people now think Trump was likely injured by a shard of broken glass instead of a bullet. Hence the bandage to hide the wound.
Your thoughts?
Trump was shot at. Nearly killed. Others were shot & killed or wounded. He was lightly injured by flying debris/shards of glass. If an AR round had winged him it would have been a much worse injury. He didn’t “take a bullet for you”. He took a shard for you. Am I wrong?
We are witnessing, in real time, one of the biggest failures of curiosity in the history of journalism.
Katy Tur, squatting in the same building as trump at the RNC, is practicing her best tone of respectful reverence and fangirling as she looks at the mattress-sized gauze on the side of trump's head, and it doesn't occur to her to inquire what he was treated for.
Did he get stitches? If so, how many? Why is the bandage so insanely huge? The photographs didn't appear to show any discernible wound whatsoever.
No, these jackasses are reserving their most harsh interrogations for President Biden, demanding to know if he watched the entire debate from 14 fucking days ago, and who is he listening to, and for the 100th time, is he sure he doesn't want to drop out.
In fact, President Biden has politely attempted to steer the press' focus back to doing their jobs, asking Lester Holt why nobody's asking trump about the 28 lies he told during that debate.
It's outrageous. If you're going to subject one candidate to a body cavity-exam level of scrutiny, subject BOTH candidates to it.
Come on, you can't adequately or honestly "both sides" anything if you're only scrutinizing one side.
Nobody has even asked trump about the discrepancy of denying his involvement with Project 2025 and the fact that he knows many of its planners, and it mentions his name hundreds of times. FAILURE OF CURIOSITY.
Where are the questions about his weird fixation on Hannibal Lecter, or sharks, or any of the other batshit things he gets away with saying at all times?
How about asking him why he admitted to a discussion with Putin BEFORE the Ukraine invasion, or why he said Putin would release hostages to him, and not President Biden?
What about asking him why he was tooling around with the authoritarian leader of Hungary?
It does seem like, even prior to the shooting this weekend, the press has wrapped trump in a protective gauze as ridiculously oversized as his ear mattress.
He's not even the sitting President, but many members of the press have granted him immunity from asking him any fucking questions.
They're even allowing non-doctors to accuse President Biden of having dementia, while saying that trump DOES NOT -- and not an iota of pushback.
Once again, it's a disgraceful display of burying Biden under an avalanche of insipid inquiries and bullshit while extending utmost deference to a would-be dictator who plans to lock many of them up if he wins.
And they are shamelessly helping him.
That poor boy was their sacrificial lamb. To stage a fraud.
An actual .223 round would explode ear cartilage. Further at this angle (see pic) his occipital lobe would have been blown out. His hair and collar would not remain so pristine.
There are many parts to this situation that are deeply troubling. Lives lost with few details provided, such as the exact location of victims in the crowd.
It's alarming that the Secret Service allowed a former POTUS to stand up and fist pump, fully exposed, amid an alleged assassination attempt, and to yell "fight, fight, fight."
The shooter being a registered Republican and an active assault rifle collector adds another layer of concern.
No blood on the palm of the hand at any time is particularly disturbing. As someone who has treated many wounds, I know we all instinctively check a wound we cannot see. This aspect is very disconcerting to me.
Here's the piece I can't get past. As a 50+ year old physician I find it very troubling that there's no statement from the hospital or doctor who treated Trump for his "injury", now 24 hours out. Why the silence? In my experience, there's always a briefing. Where was the press? Traditionally in this scenario they would want an update in real time on where he was taken and his status. There was nothing.
