Looks like someone took some shots at prez candidate Donald Trump at a rally in PA. From the videos I’ve seen, it looks like he did get grazed.

From the article:
Trump stood up and held his fist in the air with what appeared to be blood dripping down his face.
Several secret service agents surrounded him as he put his hand up and appeared to shout “fight” to his supporters who began cheering.
An excellent PR stunt and call to action for his violent insurrectionist supporters, if you ask me.
That’s called a false flag attack. I could believe it, but I could also believe it was a sincere attack.
Being serious about it for a moment, it’s extremely unlikely that it’s a false flag attack. It’s fun to joke about the idea, but the reality is that it doesn’t appear to be staged, and he’s far too much of a coward to agree to have somebody shoot at him.
Besides that, there’s plenty of politically-unaffiliated groups or individuals who would probably want him gone just for how his last term contributed to the abortion bans, reunification of church and state (in some states), government corruption, etc.
No one needs to actually shoot at him, he can just have a capsule of fake blood in his hand and smear it on himself at the right moment. It’s so easy even he can do it.
Could also have been a real shooter.
there’s also plenty of fence sitters and centrists who I sincerely believe would vote for him on tough guy vibes alone, despite him being a coward
Hes fully too much of a coward to be shot at.
But you’re assuming he was shot at. Ducked, hidden away from camera, then blood on him.
No one is ducking a bullet
Would he be told about this plan? It’d certainly be more convincing if he didn’t know, and was set up by the RNC.
I would not put this beyond him.
I think it would be. Not morally, just i don’t think he’s competent enough.
Some? They anyone with a functional brain that has been paying attention. Nothing the dude has ever done has been honest.

Right after meeting with Orban who just met with Putin? I don’t know if I really think that, but I would say it’s possible.
One of the videos you can hear “shooter down” before he gets up. Elderly, near death experience, and monumental arrogance would help explain his reaction pretty well!
Shooting him isn’t the way - but I can see why someone was scared enough to think it was. Just remember kids, voting for Biden isn’t just voting against trumpler - it’s saying you would literally prefer someone who is probably senile overhim. It’s a solid insult, and you should go out there on polling day to make sure he hears it.

You’re doing what they do.
Yes. You are correct. On reflection I should have put quotes around it as it was intented to convey that but not actually imply that it was the case. It is good you called it out.

I wouldn’t be surprised either way, honestly. It would be the right timing for a false flag though for sure.
But then on the other hand this is the prescribed treatment for tyrants, per our fore-bearers.
It’s not clear at all that that’s what happened. It is completely plausible that someone would shoot a firearm at a candidate in a hotly contested presidential election. Let wait for evidence to roll in yeah?
You know for a fact that if the shoe were on the other foot, this is exactly the rhetoric we’d be hearing.
You’re right. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit. But I still hold all parties to a standard of honest discourse.
So let’s not do what they do and live in an evidence-based world and not an emotion-based one.
The “facts don’t care about your feelings” party doesn’t care about facts and spends a lot of time on how their feelings are hurt.
My evidence (in addition to the weirdness of his reaction, and the convenient blood) - has any article mentioned a shooter being seen/shot/arrested/known to exist? I can’t remember a time where there was a shooting and no article said ANYTHING about a shooter, only about the shots. Nothing could be better for the Trump campaign than for him to be “almost” assassinated.
Shooter dead and audience member killed
A person believed to be a shooter at today’s Donald Trump Pennsylvania rally is dead, as well as an audience member in attendance, the Butler County District Attorney has said.
In addition to the two fatalities, one other person is believed to be in a critical condition.

Sure. It could have been faked.
On the other hand, if I was an unhinged person with a gun and I thought there was a good chance a fascist dictator might run the U.S., I might be inclined to try to do something about it.
There’s no reason not to rule something like that out.
Wonder if this should be posted as a new article to the news communities? It’s important, more relevant information.
Unfortunately that’s just one update on a page with regular updates. You would have to find a better link.
Bruh it happened like an hour ago. But news stories about the shooter being killed are coming out now.
Yes it would be the case. Should we start behaving like right wing conspiracy theorists now?
Yeah but that’s because Republicans are fuckin idiots
Doesn’t make it right or acceptable.
I suppose we need even more guns.
If he was wearing armor made of guns he wouldn’t be bleeding.
After giving due remarks, could Biden sign an executive order for sweeping gun control and name it after Trump and present this incident as the impetus?
No the executive can’t create laws.
Genius.
Disarming the resistance right before a fascist takeover is not the genius move you think it is.

Practical solution for a practical problem
This wouldn’t have happened if Trump had a gun on him smh
Isn’t he banned being a felon
Isn’t he banned being a feeling?
Oh, he’s More Than a Feeling
He sure is.
Technically not a felon until sentencing.
So in the mean time, we can call him:
Presumptive felon nominee
Felony frontrunner
Felon elect
Or everyone else in the crowd had one
I see blood but I don’t see a wound. Are they really going to try and pass that the perfect hole there is a bullet hole? Wouldn’t a gun shot wound there take a bigger portion of the ear?
Depends on the round. A lot of factors come into play on gunshot wounds, including velocity, mass, resistance, angle. There is even some possibility that the round just barely missed, but the displacement of air is actually what broke skin.

That is an urban legend. I’ve been missed by some pretty large caliber rounds in war and I’ve seen some pretty large caliber rounds barely miss people. No damage is done. You have to make contact with the round (or vice versa) for it to do damage.

Guy I agree his account history looks a little sus, but isn’t that a little bit of the pot calling the kettle black? You have 3 comments since December.See below.
I don’t comment a lot, but I have way more comments than that.
Ah I see why, I had the main few communities you post in blocked. My bad. I rescind my comment. Note to everyone else: Check histories in a private tab so you can see even communities that you have blocked.
I’m literally just a dude. I usually don’t have time to post, and haven’t really felt the need to comment, but I had a rare day off where i felt like I could actually take part in conversation.
Depends on the hit. There’s not much blood so it might just be a graze.
Probably bounced off his thick skull.
Paramedic here. All parts of the head are very vascular, and so any head injury at all bleeds fantastically. If the top of his ear got clipped, that would be enough to produce that much blood.
Remember that Biden is immune thanks to the SCOTUS.
He has a alibi, he’s in Delaware. But as long as it was an official act, he could order it.
He wouldn’t do it himself. He would order Seal Team 6 to do t. They wouldn’t have missed, though.
Nah, this was obviously Hunter Biden in a Gritty Suit. The gunman who got massacred by the cops was just a patsy like Lee Harvey Oswald
A Libertarian friend from Florida joking suggested Hunter Biden. I think it was Melania.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Somebody could shoot Trump on 5th Avenue and nobody important would care.
Would absolutely not care about Trump. Would absolutely care about the incensed conservative mob with minimal brain cells, rage and guns starting shit
Their rage is mostly impotent. When push comes to shove, I think the vast majority of them will stay home and continue posting on Truth Social.
Did you miss the whole Jan 6th thing?
That was the best they had from all around the country. Mostly thieves and vandals, stealing a laptop and a podium, smearing shit on the walls. Very few actually prepared for violence. If shit went down nationwide, those few violent ones would not be together in one place, so they’d pose far less of a threat.
that’s not what i took from j6…
One lady gets shot and they break like Lee at Gettysburg.
Unless there is someone to direct that rage, they’ll have no idea what to do with it, or where to direct it.
There will always be people that direct that rage, Trump is a cult leader but he’s not the only influencer
trump is a fortuitous puppet. he ran for president in the past too, but he didn’t win because the times weren’t right for it.
Take it like Teddy you wimp.
Ex-prez, please.
Christ. Now I’m envisioning his future campaign speeches. “They try to shoot me down, I am an immortal.”
Sweet, shoot again
Immortan.
Immotan-gelo.
we’ll never hear the end of it.
We will hear it for another 10 years when he finally has his hamburger heart attack.
Campaign? Doesn’t really need to even campaign anymore after this. Maybe he will mention it at a state of the confedarcy talk or something. These are such shitty times.
