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.

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.
Iirc, back when it happened, there were people from his highschool target shooting team that said he didn't make the team because he wasn't a good shot.
I rewatched the broadcast to confirm, Trump absolutely inadvertently stepped out of the shot right as the shooter pulled the trigger. Trump went from standing with a hand on the podium, to leaning forward on it as he turned his head to his right.
The shooter brought a laser rangefinder which suggests he was aware of at least basic marksmanship fundamentals like bullet drop from gravity. He also had an AR-15, with a red dot and was laying prone with no visual barriers between him and the dais where Trump was about 130 yards away. Even a budget AR shooting basic af ammo can expect to shoot a 4 inch circle at that distance- plenty enough for a headshot.
Trump survived through dumb luck.

Yeah highschool kids never lie. You should always just take what they said at face value.
I used to participate in International Defensive Pistol Association competitions. I was, honestly, terrible. I'd routinely mangle or just do an overall uninspiring job of the up close shots, and I was hardly as smooth and quick as anyone else there. I just didn't have the money to burn through ammo and time at the range like other folks did. One time, we were doing a series of targets at thirty feet and the spirit came over me and I double tapped two of them right in the jugular notch as smooth as you like. Won't claim it as an achievement because I can't even remotely come close to reproducing it, I'm still not that good of a shot, and I wouldn't have believed I was going to do it if you'd told me ahead of time. I can't explain why or how I did it, just, idk, rolled a twenty that time I guess.
I once fired a 22 round through the middle of a polo mint without breaking it from 25m away. I framed that shit because likewise, knew that wasn't happening again. That's part of the fun of the sport as a an amateur, occasionally chance does funny things.

I honestly don't think the gun was ever aimed at Trump. His "wound" was gone basically overnight.
Meh. Occam's razor applies here, I think. The head is highly vascular, and even small injuries can produce a visually stunning amount of blood. I don't think it was a fake or a conspiracy; sometimes shit just happens.
The cartilage of the ear takes a long time to heal, yet HitlerPig was walking around fully healed within 2 weeks. He also showed no sign of being injured at all, when a glancing shot like that should have mangled his ear at least a little bit. Yet, it looks perfectly fine now, not even the slightest nick or scar.
Occam's Razor means something slightly different when it comes to HitlerPig. In his case, the most nefarious, dishonest, corrupt story is probably the right one. He was never shot, the whole thing was a hoax.

It's usually the most vile beings that get to live their life to the fullest...
I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God
Got a sick sense of humour
And when I die
I expect to find him laughing
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.

Someone got a nice spiral from throwing A WHOLE ASS CARTRIDGE
I would expect nothing less from a god who sells power ups for the low cost of human sacrificing your daughter.
Can't be God's hand. It's lacking the nail holes. Must be the devil's.
I may not be the most religiously knowledgeable person on the planet.... But didn't Jesus get the Home Depot special, not god?
Jesus is God. He isn't God The Father, but God The Father doesn't have a physical/earthly form, so it can't be His hand.
Bro can't manifest a hand while doing a matrix time stop to redirect a bullet.
So much for omnipotence I guess.
Also, wasn't humanity made in god's image?
Doesn't Jesus refer to god as a separate entity?
Here I am looking for logical consistency in religion, the very definition of logical inconsistency.
Jesus doesn't refer to God as a separate entity.
He refers to the Father as a separate person, but still their unity as God is emphasised
John 8:57-58
So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”
John 10:30
I and the Father are one.
John 14:8-11
Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.
He also emphasised that He has a distinct relationship with The Father and God that's different to us.
John 20:17
Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
Jesus makes clear that His God is distinct to our God. His God is merely just The Father, which He is obedient to in accordance with His human nature (This is how Jesus was both God and Human- as a perfect Human, He had to worship as well. If He didn't, He wouldn't be a human.) while our God is the whole Triune God.
As for manifesting hands or whatever, all of creation was made through Jesus.
John 1:2-3
He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Genesis 1:26
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

I don't know about other religions, but we were taught as youngsters in Catholicism that Jesus was god too. They were separate, but one. 🤷
Every religion invented it's own version of the mythology.
Yep, the ultimate hero's journey.
Wrists would have the nail holes. Hands can't support a human hanging on a cross. But I understand your point!
Yes, but what's amusing to me is that this painting shows the wrist but not the palm.
Wrists are still visible, the term I was using "hand" in this context actually can refer to the upper forearm, it's just me using theological terms, my bad lol.
Although also in my defence, a hand was what's painted, the wrist is visible, so it's still okay to refer to what's shown as a "hand"

With God so withered, no wonder the world's in the state it's in.
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.

Cave Johnson - we're done here!
volunteer firefighter
computer, zoom in and enhance
woke socialist antifa parasite
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
