RN here. The head is very vascular, and even a small cut would bleed profusely. In my experience, surgical glue or a suture would have sufficed. Even a scratch would need to be open to air to heal. That was all staged.
RN here too. Totally agree. His ear, if truly lacerated, would have bleed profusely all down his neck onto his shirt. No blood seen there. And the blood on his right cheek doesn't continue from his ear to his cheek. There's about a 2 inch break with no blood. No one had wiped his face also. Blood just doesn't start running and then take a 2 inch jump and start running again. Also, the color of the blood is too cherry red to be real blood. Could just be the pictures taken, but it should be more fire engine red than cherry red. I'm not a conspiracy believer, but this one doesn't pass the smell test. And his reaction to being shot, if he was? Never, ever saw anyone jump up and wave their fist. The usual body language is one of total terror. No blood on his hands either if he would have touched his ear. He is just the chaos clown. Every single day. Notice how no one is mentioning the Epstein files?
RN here also. Trump may have had matter splattered on him from a victim who was actually shot. At the least, his lack of concern for the man killed and the two other victims demonstrates that he is abnormal and should in no way be responsible for a goldfish, let alone the American people.
Ladies the thing isn’t human it should have spurted out Black Bile from its decomposing heart born in Hell ,that’s the proof ! It was definitely a bag job !👹👺😱
The crowd behind him didn't even react to the shots or duck out of the way. Shouldn't there have been pandemonium on those bleachers? Were they warned ahead of time? Everything about this stinks to high heaven.
How could a gun enthusiast whose whole world was guns, who wore a Demolition Ranch T-shirt miss his target? How was he able to get on top of a nearby roof while visible to some in the crowd? I would say here’s a marksman who knew how to hit what he was aiming at. Was he aiming at the fireman who died, was he the real target? Or was he told to injure a few people to make it look real? Was Crooks like a suicide “bomber” who wanted to be a hero for the cause?
The consistency of their lying keeps us from seeing when something is strange because it’s all strange.
Well, IF the investigation proves it was planned, we'll never know, I don't believe. Somehow he CAN get away with murder and even the widow will, call him Sir, SIr! Disgusting.
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me an ear. Better yet, lend Trump an ear with a maxi-pad. A performance artist is what he has always been and will always be. Everything about him is a lie whether it is what he says or what he wants us to see. His ridiculous makeup is a part of this as well as his combover which couldn’t hide his bald head when he was put into the car after the shooting.
He really knows how to pick physicians doesn’t he. No one has ever seen anything like it before. Imagine going to a cardiologist with a heart murmur and being told “sir, I have never heard a heart murmur before “. You would get the hell out of that office.
I’m an RN too & when I first saw this I thought it was fake-agree that the blood from the ear should have been running down the right side of his neck instead of the cheek. No one directly behind him or directly on his right side were struck & the fans didn’t look concerned that they may be hit with gunfire-have the press talked to the people directly behind him to see what they saw? I think an AK rifle would have literally shot his ear off instead of just grazing it. We will see-he shouldn’t still be wearing a bandage on old would unless it’s draining & a good surgeon would have closed it easily. If he shows up in a day or so & his ear looks like nothing happened then we’ll know that nothing happened-but the press won’t cover it as usual
I said the same there is NO WAY that a bullet went by his ear. With that kinda ammo it would'a blown his fuckin ear off. No graze. except for the humap lumpa who grazes all day the pig.
I think it was designed to take attention away from Project 2025.A lot more people are becoming aware of this nasty little plan that Little DonnieFF has in store for anyone who is not kissing his backside sufficiently.
(Not a reputable source, but gets one thinking - again, failure of the press to push for answers)
Failure to ask why Trump's CFO would go to jail repeatedly instead of striking a plea deal. What he knows could boil the ocean, but he keeps silent.
Finally, failure to imagine the assassination attempt as pretext for killing liberals. They went after Whitmer, Pelosi and BLM. Jan 6 was an invitation to overthrow the government. July 13th was an excuse to unleash Trump's SA (precursor to SS) and silence the Libs through violence.
BUT we cannot be cowed. We cannot duck in fear. This is what they want.
I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but the little that I've read about the impact from assault-weapon ammo -- that it obliterates the area of impact -- make me question the possibility or probability that such a powerful bullet traveling with great force and at high speed could have merely nicked his ear.
In other words, if the bullet was close enough to make contact with his skin, surely it would have done more damage than that -- ?
I think it's been reported that it was glass that nicked him,but I'm going with 'absolutely nothing really hit him',seems like he might've touched a fake blood packet to his ear.
Have you ever worked in the newsroom of a legit newspaper or magazine? I have.
I spent about 15 years in legit newsrooms. I know how reporters and editors operate. (Reporters cultivate sources, conduct interviews -- on the record, off the record, on background -- and pore over documents. Every word that goes into an article is based on something factual and verifiable.) Every employee in any editorial capacity has access to the computer system, which shows every single change in every article, even the deletion of a one-letter typo, and who made the change and when.
So, yes, I have faith in the *legit* MSM. And I encourage everyone who isn't a GOP or a MAGA or a QAnon or a right-wing radical in any way to ***stop*** engaging in knee-jerk press-bashing, which is inaccurate and -- more to the point -- DANGEROUS. That's what *their* side does in order to generate distrust of the press. Therein lies autocracy.
The legit press isn't perfect. No entity or institution is. But everyone who offhandedly bashes it -- especially without knowing how it operates -- is being a useful idiot for the autocratic right. So please get some facts, and please rethink your approach. Thanks.
You worked in legit newsrooms. Key word is legit. I've watched MSNBC for 16 years until recently. No one is saying they're spewing fake news, what some of the commentators are doing is focusing on Biden's age ad nauseum while glossing over Trump's Epstein files and all his other craziness. It's just not my opinion that Tur and Mitchell have been the worst at this. Check out comments from other social media and those 2 are talked about the most. If I want to listen to Biden bashing and Trump being given a pass, I'll watch FOX instead. From what I read, all the major outlets are owned by Republicans. So really how legit is MSNBC on reporting the news in a fair and unbiased manner? As far as bashing the news industry, I don't have to know how to fly a plane in order to comment on it when the door blows off in mid flight. From other comments you've made in the past about the election, are you sure you're not sitting on the fence about this one with one foot in the MAGA pasture? And why are you always telling the rest of us how to think and feel? You are more than entitled to your opinion about all of this, but that doesn't mean you're going to try and tell me what mine should be. There - got it off my chest what I've wanted to say for a couple of days now.
Problem is those "legit" newsrooms were bought out years ago by Rupert Murdoch, Jeff Bezos, whoever owns the NYT now, etc. I believe the newsrooms you worked in were "legit". I do not believe the media, paper or television is "legit" any longer. Also, if people want to share their disappointment and disgust at how this incident and many others with trump is being reported, well.... a "legit" journalist would allow them to do that with grace. Not tell them to stop. So I'm sorry, but I'm not stopping but thank you for expressing your opinion.
That's how it used to be. But is not the case any longer, case in point "The Washington Post" which was always my go-to paper, has now hired a Murdoch Tabloid man, Will Lewis to run the place. He is presently in court in the UK, for his role in deleting Emails in the phone hacking scandal, and other deeds he performed in his role in the venal UK tabloid arena. When he bought the paper, Bezos had an agreement not to interfere with the running of the newsroom. And he didn't. Under the professional Icon Marty Baron (who helped break the story about the child abuse in the Catholic church in his paper at the time the "Boston Globe".) the paper kept to professional standards and was excellent. Baron retired, and Bezos on the advice of publisher Fred Ryan (the Reagan library keeper) hired Sally Buzbee who turned out to be the queen of both-siderism. Forced birther propaganda was normalized, and not fact-checked, more right-winger "Opinionists" were hired, and worst of all, the started using MAGA-buzzwords in their poorly edited headlines that were so bad, we all complained in the comments and they finally were to changed to something more accurate. Lewis hired another tabloid crony to along with a second crony to replace the "Both sides" Buzbee and the team absolutely revolted He also pressured the paper not to cover his dirty deeds abroad. She resisted and he fired her.
I understand defending your profession, but it's like the so-called reporters don't know their history, or anything about their story and publish every event as if it happens in a vacuum, medical misinformation abounds for instance:
there is no heart at six weeks, you need heartvalves to have a heartbeat, and those form much later, what they hear is primitive electrical impulses that can be duplicated in a petrie dish.
When you act as stenographer for the far right without fact checking the lies, you ARE part of the problem.
You are so correct. Trump already calls the press “the enemy of the people” I would really prefer we not do the same thing. Trump & the bribe-taking scotus have destroyed our faith in their objectivity & honor & Cannon has provided more proof that we can’t trust our legal system when it comes to anything involving Trump.
Debris from the podium was the reason for any injury inflicted on ear. An AR round traveling at supersonic speed does a heck of alot more damage than what we saw. I saw no damage...just the bright red stuff on ear.
That makes much more sense. I too had questioned the notion that an assault-weapon bullet could merely nick an ear. (Initially I read / heard that teleprompter glass was the culprit, but that was debunked; I’d not read / heard that podium debris was the culprit; that makes sense.)
Here is what I perceive. Photos of the shattered teleprompter show that it was only the upper corner. It could easily have been a fine shard or grain of glass that went flying and hit his ear. He winced and held his ear as though he had just been stung by a wasp, not shot by a bullet. A bullet from the weapon used, whizzing that close to his head, would have knocked him down and torn off his ear if not half of his face! He was more concerned about photo ops and losing his shoes. Perhaps the reason his heavy leather shoes flew off his feet was because of the lift inserts. His heels (and bone spurs!) are positioned so high in his shoes that his shoes are in danger of falling off. That is probably why he has difficulty with stairs and declines. I saw a picture of a shoe and a lift insert lying in the grass alongside the platform. I don't know if it was genuine—did anyone else see it? His chief concern was about his shoes and he did not ask if anyone was hurt!
And ***that*** is exactly the problem, why we all are going with our theories. Because there is no information being released. And apparently no enterprising investigative reporters willing to dig.
Yes, as bruce says, the news said a piece of glass from the teleprompter cut his ear. He is one lucky sonovabitch,. If that kid had military training or a better choice of weapons, or just had better aim, he'd be toast
Then that hand should have been bloody and it's not. Where's the blood running down his neck or on his shirt? There isn't any. Where's the news conference with the ER docs? Every other time a president is pretty sick or wounded, there's always a doctor news conference. Total silence on this one. The longer these questions go unanswered, the more it points to theatrics on his part.
I don’t think the shooter intended to hit tRump. He was a second amendment guy, apparently, living with his MAGA family. What makes the most sense to me is that he thought he would die a hero for his cause by starting the civil war that MAGA is longing for. At the very least it would be good publicity for tRump, and it has been. I would not be surprised at all if it was coordinated with the tRump campaign - maybe the shooter wasn’t even supposed to be killed
IF a bullet nicked his ear it likely just kept on going. I wonder, in that case, if someone in the crowd,, "took a bullet" for him. He and his campaign certainly haven't spent much time talking about the dead and seriously injured. And whatever the forensic evidence ends up being, if it doesn't put tfg in a dramatic light it will be buried.
Speaking by phone to RFK junior, on the call made public by RFK III, he compared the experience to being buzzed by a gigantic mosquito. As I remember, he didn’t mention it biting him.
I suppose we may someday get a report of all the bullets and where they landed. Was the teleprompter hit? am also confused that sharpshooters could hit the assassin so quickly if they had not already seen him on the roof where he was standing up and aiming.
If the Trumpies think that their story is falling apart….Suddenly! A pristine DNA COATED BULLET will magically appear after being found 5 miles away Imbedded in a mattress of a preacher of the faith ! It’s a miracle!😇🤣😂😅🤣
If this was fake, you will never hear it. We still don't know about the motive for the LV mass killing 7 years ago and the JFK assassination never passed the smell test 61 years later.
The shooter was prone. Try firing a rifle at a target 450 feet away and then get back to us as to how accurate you were. Keep a 5-round group inside a 1/2" circle.
That's just it, nobody is mentioning much of anything. Nurses everywhere chiming in but not getting the coverage they deserve. I got called out yesterday but in a civil way on this site about MSM not doing their job. It was stated that I was helping the right and Putin by dissing on them for their lack of coverage. Now we got this bullshit ear wound that along with all everything else that continues to get shit-canned that his assholiness pulls but hey, it must be ok if the media isn't reporting it. WTF, we deserve the facts and not these stories being ignored like it's no big deal especially with November right around the corner.
They most definitely do not cover Rrump & all the crazy, inane stuff he does & says with the same scrutiny they place on Biden’s every move; that’s true.
It's so slanted and predictable these days that it's like loaded dice. It doesn't only pertain to Trump and his family but others within the MAGA congress as well.
The national press and political pundits are worse than useless at this point. The horse race coverage instead of, ya know, what each candidate would actually do has been driving me fucking insane. How is it this hard to just report the actual news without all of the bullshit commentary?
Agree. I’m a nurse too and this doesn’t pass the smell test. I worked in the operating room & never saw blood that color. I’m no conspiracy theorist, but I have lots of questions, and not providing full disclosure only increases those questions. Also I’ve never seen, nor put a bandage on an ear like that.
Saw that the maxipad-like bandage was the idea of Dr. Ronny "Pill Pusher" Jackson, to dramatize his wound. It worked, too. Did you see the MAGA stooges with similar stuff on their ears in the convention crowd? Whoo boy, such gullible dummies
Maybe it mixed with his makeup? I just can't buy the idea that they would plan to have actual guns shooting in the vicinity of his head when the shooter was no kind of pro and actual humans were injured or killed. As for the maxi-pad on his ear, that's to highlight his "martyrdom" and conceal the fact that the wound itself is unimpressive.
He did insist on a cameo appearance, everytime they wanted to film on one of his properties, one of the most famous ones being when he gives that kid directions in the kids movie "HomeAlone".
Another RN here. I fully concur with my fellow nurses. Also, there was a picture with the ear exposed that seems to have disappeared. If anyone can find it, please share. Then the RN brigade will gladly ride again.
Fellow healthcare worker here (trauma/open heart/vascular surgery). Totally agree that the color of that "blood" was the first thing that jumped out at me. A weird washed-out watery color, and not much of whatever liquid that was, either.
I don't doubt that he was shot **at** (as others were actually killed or seriously wounded), that it was an attempted assassination.....but whether what we saw was an actual bullet wound is highly questionable.
Also, the crowd reaction seemed off. If I heard a gunshot, and someone nearby had actually been shot and wounded, I sure as hell wouldn't still be sitting in my seat, looking around like I was a spectator at a play. No one ran or ducked or cowered or hit the deck. It just all seemed "off."
I also noted that not one person in the massed crowd behind him even flinched until he stood up. Not a single one. All those videos of other shootings, and everyone one is running everywhere. Not this crowd. They just sat there, in the line of fire. Almost as if awaiting a cue.
He hit his ear hard like he was killing a bee or something but when he moved his hand away, there was no blood. I think the investigation will reveal that it was staged and MAGA will call the investigation bogus. It never ends.
I agree. I thought the blood running down his face dried too quickly. Plus, how could you be pumping your fist in the air if you were shot? Trump is a huge coward. He would have been a puddle on the floor if he had been shot. I would have run off the stage so fast, you wouldn't see me for all the dust behind me.
Hey, side note here. Did anyone see Rapey McForehead give his speech? He fell in a vat of Botox. Liberace is yelling from his grave, "Rapey stole my look." His dermatologist must've been a Democrat. 🤣🤣🤣
Big question. Should be why are you suing Twitter, and why send a link to others? Has to be others discussing it besides in Twatter. Stop giving QEloon clicks and links. It just helps Qeloon and Twatter. Just stop using it. Delete your account and make him fail quicker.
My understanding is that the distribution of vessels varies quite a lot (for ex., the lobe is very fleshy but the rim of the ear isn't), but I could be wrong -- not a medical professional! Like all or most of us here today, I think we're missing a lot of crucial info. I'm glad that Jeff has, as always, bundled relevant stuff together in today's column.
If the cartilage that gives the external ear its shape was damaged it may never heal correctly and trump may end up with a deformed external ear. That would drive him nuts.
Where he allegedly got “shot” is all cartilage; no to very little bleeding. Even the lobe won’t bleed all that much. I’m thinking many of us have pierced our own ears enough to know this.
You don't think I had the cartilage pierced ? I didn't but, I don't think a " bullet fragment " nicked his ear, why would the bullet be fragmented, & WHERE IS IT ?
Yeah, such a devastating wound the Secret Service didn’t need to stop the bleeding. Beca it se it stopped on its own. And of course, made the staged photos so colorful.
OMFG. That photo of the clusterfuck groupies with maxi-pads on their ears is absolutely unbelievable - except it’s REALITY. What kind of brainless idiots do this kind of hero-worshipping shit???? It makes me want to vomit, bigly. 🤮🤮🤮
You do have a point there, Jeff. Have these people all regressed to sixth grade where they all have to wear the same thing to be part of the “in crowd”??? If so, count me out. Far, far out.
In order to ‘regress’ you assume they somehow managed to get past the low point they are currently at, I believe this is not the case. They never progressed past where they are right now. 6th grade maybe 4th. Mentally 5-6 year olds in adult bodies.
It begs the question......if he forgot his diaper and shit himself, would they do the same? Or would that get their $299 Limited Edition Assassination Sneakers dirty?
The all new golden bullet earrings are now on sale for$ 59.99 free N.R.A. Membership with each purchase! All proceeds will go to the family of……Donald Chump ! Act now they’re flying off the shelves !you really didn’t think the proceeds were going to be donated to someone deserving did you ?🤔🥴🤣😂children’s sizes available in smaller caliber rounds for only $59.49 !🤪😜💥💀
It’s like The Stepford Wives, but much worse. These “people” have lost whatever tiny minds they might once have possessed. It’s truly frightening to see this kind of stuff. Should we all go get Covid now so we can pledge fealty to Joe Biden? No, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT IN A CULT.
If they really want to be good followers they need to have their ears nicked by an AR-15 before they receive the official Trump branded maxi pads for the ears. Which they have to pay for. It’s a cult duh.
My grandson at about 8 yo had his head shaved along with his Cub Scout buddies to show support for a fellow troop member who was in a very bad way in the hospital with leukemia. That is understandable and heartwarming. But those idjits with the ear pads are ridiculous and so was their wussy candidate who was milking the nick like it was gashed instead of just a teensy nick.
Becky, I agree. The psychopaths sitting in the audience with their square white boo-boo covers imitating what? These people are beyond the word psychotic. Seriously! They have to be robots from another planet. Comically funny and fucking frightening at the same time. Did you see the video of the church lunatics praying for trump’s ear. I cried tears I laughed so hard!
I was 8.5 months old when Reagan was shot, and good G-d, do I wish I were that age now. Also, LOL forever at the BIG TOUGH MAN using a maxi-pad sized bandage on a nick in his ear.
You and me both. I was grown when Reagan was shot so I remember it well. I also remember both Kennedys, Wallace and MLK. Then the attempts of President Ford from the Manson crazy bunch. Very violent time. Those were real shootings. No one ever doubted that. Maybe you didn't go along with the final reason, but no one ever thought they were fake. I never believed the Warren Commission report. I read the entire book in high school. Don't think Oswald acted alone and who has the highest profile prisoner in the world (Oswald) and lets Jack Ruby just walk into the police station, walk up to Oswald and shoot him. Come on.
That fucking ridiculous pristine "magic bullet" theory with multiple exit wounds never made any sense to me. Not to mention Ford was on the Warren commission and later wound up president which he never could have done otherwise. I think the VP slot was for services rendered. And him pardoning Nixon was further proof he was a puppet.
Agreed ! If it was an AR15 bullet it would have displaced the left side of his head. From the Bolsanaro playbook, he tried the same shit by getting stabbed but the good people of Brazil were not buying it.
I agree. And I have no clue what’s going with the Dems. I was shocked when Adam Schiff came forward. They are being fooled by the media, and it’s pissing me off. It is time to unify behind Biden!!
With respect, Adam Schiff and others like him aren't "being fooled by the media." They're aware of and concerned about polls showing that most voters think Biden -- whom many considered too old and too frail even before the debate -- should go.
It stinks that the electorate is so ill-informed. It stinks that Biden hasn't gotten the credit he deserves for his spectacular admin. It stinks that even though he's only 3 years older than djt he seemed about 10 years older. All of this stinks. That said, it's important for us -- the rational people, the non-GOPs, the non-MAGAs --to be accurate, including when we criticize Dems who raise concerns. Thanks.
I don’t agree. Biden has the support of the black community, especially black women, women and because Kamala is next in line if anything happens to Biden next term, then young vote. She cannot beat Biden now. Too many racists. And no other potential candidate polls better than Biden. He’s our candidate. He has been stellar since the debate. One damn night. Did you hear him speak to the NAACP WHILE HAVING COVID? They loved him? He blew Lester Holt out of the water. Unscripted while being badgered again about his age and stepping down. If democrats want to win they need to listen to Michael Steele and get on board!
Schiff made no mention in his statement that he'd spoken to Biden, or anyone who worked with him. And to call for Biden to step down now, long after the debate is over and multiple events after he's shown he's fit to do the job WHICH HE'S DOING RIGHT NOW, it's either the height of hubris or disingenuousness.
It isn’t only Schiff. I was initially on the Biden train but seeing him on tv made me change my mind. And the people who are speaking out are growing. They see him regularly and like most 81 year olds, he probably has really good days and some not so good days. The problem is he is the President of the United States and he has to have good days every single minute of every single day. It isn’t fair but it is the truth, especially when there is an authoritarian waiting to take over the country. These people know way more on the inside of what is going on than we Joe public and I am trusting that this Covid bout may be the thing that is the excuse for him to leave. The Dems have got some other people already waiting and ready to go. Its a gamble no matter what when there are so many idiots in the USA backing a rapist criminal, but someone has got to lead and make a decision damn quick and I think the decision has been made. I think Joe is going and god bless him for what
He has accomplished and to all gods and goddesses that may exist, please make the decision to have him step aside be the right one. I will vote for anyone that runs agains the pigs in the opposite party, but I don’t think anymore
It will be Joe and I will get behind whoever it is with everything I have.
He has Covid right now. CNN keeps showing him getting off the plane looking tired. He has Covid you fucking jackals! Also no one else except Kamala can use the war-chest they have raised. Anyone jumping in with 4 months to go would be starting from zero, against a well-funded incompetent, orange monster who the big corporations want to win for the tax breaks, as he will save them billions.
EfN, I totally agree with you. This is spot on. These people think Democrats will ALL agree on ONE person to suddenly take over. I wonder who they really are to keep everyone on this subject. Now let’sctalk PROJECT 2025-Let’s talk about a 34-count FELON RAPIST running for the office of president when he couldn’t run for state office, if he wanted to!
Laura Who, The good thing to see is that our backlash online is growing. We are finally ignoring the idiots! There are more of us and that’s what RescumliCons know! That is why there is desperation and foreign money in our politics.
Bingo, Susan. I am so pissed at Schiff and the other cowardly or overly ambitious Jerkoffs who are pulling this Biden Should Step Down assholery. Typical circular dem firing squad.
What made Schiff think that was a good move? The bubble he lives in? I’ve unsubscribed to anything I receive from him. I called his DC office and told him that announcement was outrageous and wrong. We held a Primary and Biden was selected. Time for Schiff, Schumer to resign. Although Nancy has done amazing things, she has also effed up. She was the first to say, trump would NOT be impeached. She’s beyond her useful life in politics. Too much religious crap comes out of her mouth. Time to move in out!
I agree about effing up a one car funeral. And the Repugs want us to buy that D’s stealthily stole an election in multiple states???? I don’t think so. 🙄
FUNNY HE COULD PLAY GOLF SUNDAY. WE ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE IN THE U.S. BECUASE OF WHAT THE GOP HAS DONE TO OUR COURTS, THEY ARE NO LONGER FAIR AND IMPARTIAL AND MOST OF THE IS DUE TO MOSCOW MITCH.
Why? 1) Because being purveyors of honest coverage, the right to do so afforded them by the First Amendment, has become a burden they no longer seem to want to bear and 2) They are all vying, foolishly I might add, for the State TV position.
It's all about ratings. Trump is always newsworthy for some stupid stuff. Also, they want to be on his good side if he wins so they can continue to push the lies to the American public.
Remember when your Ma said T.V. would ruin your mind ? Well ? MAAAA! You were so fucken right! I thought she was talking about The 3 Stooges ! Not all the stooges in Washington D.C. MAAAAA !🥴😅🤣
It's this type of journalistic integrity and insight that make thus the best $5 per month investment worth every penny. You should support brother Jeff too.
I agree!! Everyone should think about becoming a paid member. Jeff’s writing is by far the best on politics and “little Donny fuckface”. I love it here
The moronic dumkopfs mimicking the moronic emperor stupid by wearing their mr pillow mini pads on their moronic heads LOVE THIS. He is their born agin' JEEEEEEEZUSSS. The media can't be bothered with researching and digging for facts. "It was an Iranian plot" says the secret service. Oh, okay. ZERO questions about the money, the purchase of the gun by his dad WHO CAN AFFORD THAT???? AND ROUNDS OF EXPLOSIVES???? Oh. But. Joe. Biden. is old and has covid. And, p.s. fuk Adam Schiff!
Me too! And I love Adam, I really do, but I’m with you, fuk him for jumping on the replace Biden wagon.
I’m hoping he’ll realize how hard the millions of grassroots activists and supporters are working hard to get Biden re-elected and he’s telling them don’t bother he’s gonna lose?
CNN is owned by a deplorable far-right republican Robert Malone, one of the men that ruined cable TV, by turning the Discovery channel into (so-called) reality TV channel.
ODFG "a burst trash-bag of putrefying personality defects" 🤣 you just won the internet Jeff.
So lemme get this straight... a .223/5.56 round typically used in an AR15 has a muzzle velocity of AT LEAST 3,200 feet per second, i.e. well and truly supersonic, and after 400 it's barely any slower. If you hear one go by you, you can't miss it.
And yet somehow the battery boat captain only got a scratch on the tip of his ear? Seems like a JFK-esque magic bullet. Even after his supersonic scratch, and the SS yelling at him to "get down" he got down s-l-o-w-l-y. Maybe he's got arthritis as well as a case of the stoopids?
We'll probably never know, but he's either the luckiest mofo or he got a bit of shrapnel from the teleprompter. Yeah, ears bleed. Yeah, he shouldn't have been shot, even though he's an evil fucker, but this is just more trump bullshit milking an owie and turning it into a near mortal wound.
Really good questions, Jeff. All of them. Doesn’t the Secret Service work for the Biden Administration? How do they keep his medical records secret then ? Who is helping Trump from the SS ? The “ Free” Press needs to ask our Surgeon General for the answers they would get if it were Biden getting shot. Hell, we get more questions and answers when Biden gets a cold !!!
True, but they only found out about Biden's condition/health when he chose to tell them. Unless they bribe a hospital employee to give them the records, they're never going to see them. For willful disclosure of health records especially for financial gain - possible imprisonment and up to $250,000 fine. I go out of my way to never violate HIPAA. Not only is it the right thing to do for the patient, I'm not taking the chance of being fired.
True, but non-medical people don't have access to patients records unless they hack the computer system. Someone has to violate HIPAA if records are given out without the patient's permission.
I’m so hoping the DNC will have speakers from donald’s previous administration who could expose what a totally unstable liar he is - especially the generals!
RN here. The head is very vascular, and even a small cut would bleed profusely. In my experience, surgical glue or a suture would have sufficed. Even a scratch would need to be open to air to heal. That was all staged.
RN here too. Totally agree. His ear, if truly lacerated, would have bleed profusely all down his neck onto his shirt. No blood seen there. And the blood on his right cheek doesn't continue from his ear to his cheek. There's about a 2 inch break with no blood. No one had wiped his face also. Blood just doesn't start running and then take a 2 inch jump and start running again. Also, the color of the blood is too cherry red to be real blood. Could just be the pictures taken, but it should be more fire engine red than cherry red. I'm not a conspiracy believer, but this one doesn't pass the smell test. And his reaction to being shot, if he was? Never, ever saw anyone jump up and wave their fist. The usual body language is one of total terror. No blood on his hands either if he would have touched his ear. He is just the chaos clown. Every single day. Notice how no one is mentioning the Epstein files?
I’ve seen patients in total shock with a head wound. He is indeed a chaos clown.
RN here also. Trump may have had matter splattered on him from a victim who was actually shot. At the least, his lack of concern for the man killed and the two other victims demonstrates that he is abnormal and should in no way be responsible for a goldfish, let alone the American people.
Ladies the thing isn’t human it should have spurted out Black Bile from its decomposing heart born in Hell ,that’s the proof ! It was definitely a bag job !👹👺😱
Nobody was shot near him.
The crowd behind him didn't even react to the shots or duck out of the way. Shouldn't there have been pandemonium on those bleachers? Were they warned ahead of time? Everything about this stinks to high heaven.
He’s a master manipulator like all NPDs, he needed distraction and needed to look like Martyr/hero, the kid and the others:collateral damage
I don’t think this is conspiracy theory, just common sense knowing him…2+2 is 4…too many things don’t add up
he did not get scraped by a bullet. The ammo used would'a blown his ear off.
How could a gun enthusiast whose whole world was guns, who wore a Demolition Ranch T-shirt miss his target? How was he able to get on top of a nearby roof while visible to some in the crowd? I would say here’s a marksman who knew how to hit what he was aiming at. Was he aiming at the fireman who died, was he the real target? Or was he told to injure a few people to make it look real? Was Crooks like a suicide “bomber” who wanted to be a hero for the cause?
The consistency of their lying keeps us from seeing when something is strange because it’s all strange.
Tell that to the dead firefighter and the other person who was wounded.
Well, IF the investigation proves it was planned, we'll never know, I don't believe. Somehow he CAN get away with murder and even the widow will, call him Sir, SIr! Disgusting.
To tRump, they're just COLLATERAL DAMAGE, he couldn't care less.
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me an ear. Better yet, lend Trump an ear with a maxi-pad. A performance artist is what he has always been and will always be. Everything about him is a lie whether it is what he says or what he wants us to see. His ridiculous makeup is a part of this as well as his combover which couldn’t hide his bald head when he was put into the car after the shooting.
He really knows how to pick physicians doesn’t he. No one has ever seen anything like it before. Imagine going to a cardiologist with a heart murmur and being told “sir, I have never heard a heart murmur before “. You would get the hell out of that office.
Oh my GOD! You made me laugh so hard! Thanks. I needed that. Great points!
A brain scan on NYT rag would be sooooo much fun
Another RN here. I've previously suggested that a band-aid or adhesive Spot would have sufficed. I'd really like to see the wound.
I’m an RN too & when I first saw this I thought it was fake-agree that the blood from the ear should have been running down the right side of his neck instead of the cheek. No one directly behind him or directly on his right side were struck & the fans didn’t look concerned that they may be hit with gunfire-have the press talked to the people directly behind him to see what they saw? I think an AK rifle would have literally shot his ear off instead of just grazing it. We will see-he shouldn’t still be wearing a bandage on old would unless it’s draining & a good surgeon would have closed it easily. If he shows up in a day or so & his ear looks like nothing happened then we’ll know that nothing happened-but the press won’t cover it as usual
I said the same there is NO WAY that a bullet went by his ear. With that kinda ammo it would'a blown his fuckin ear off. No graze. except for the humap lumpa who grazes all day the pig.
I would too
word on the street is that the wound on his ear tip looks like a microscopic mushroom. strange how things rhyme in life....
They would find nothing. Absolutely nothing in there
IT WAS A WELL PLANNED DISTRACTION, Crooks was a PATSY.
I think it was designed to take attention away from Project 2025.A lot more people are becoming aware of this nasty little plan that Little DonnieFF has in store for anyone who is not kissing his backside sufficiently.
And the Epstein list.
Which has barely got a mention.
That was my first thought. I hate that that was my first thought.
Oh, FFS.
FUCKITY BYE, many tragedies have happened because of a FAILURE OF IMAGINATION, like 9- 11 & Jan 6.
For fucks sake !
Failure to imagine Epstein killed in jail. Dead men tell no tales. Failure to imagine Ivana falling down stairs before testifying in a deposition
https://www.quora.com/Do-you-find-Ivana-Trump-s-death-suspicious
(Not a reputable source, but gets one thinking - again, failure of the press to push for answers)
Failure to ask why Trump's CFO would go to jail repeatedly instead of striking a plea deal. What he knows could boil the ocean, but he keeps silent.
Finally, failure to imagine the assassination attempt as pretext for killing liberals. They went after Whitmer, Pelosi and BLM. Jan 6 was an invitation to overthrow the government. July 13th was an excuse to unleash Trump's SA (precursor to SS) and silence the Libs through violence.
BUT we cannot be cowed. We cannot duck in fear. This is what they want.
Bring it, assholes!!
I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but the little that I've read about the impact from assault-weapon ammo -- that it obliterates the area of impact -- make me question the possibility or probability that such a powerful bullet traveling with great force and at high speed could have merely nicked his ear.
In other words, if the bullet was close enough to make contact with his skin, surely it would have done more damage than that -- ?
I think it's been reported that it was glass that nicked him,but I'm going with 'absolutely nothing really hit him',seems like he might've touched a fake blood packet to his ear.
He’s also quite adept with Sharpies
😆 😆 😆
And they make RED ones as well 🔴🔴🔴.
😂😂😂😂,the shooter was probably stunned when he saw Bigfoot behind Trump...
Nice one😂
😂😂😂
You believe MSM reports ? 😆
Have you ever worked in the newsroom of a legit newspaper or magazine? I have.
I spent about 15 years in legit newsrooms. I know how reporters and editors operate. (Reporters cultivate sources, conduct interviews -- on the record, off the record, on background -- and pore over documents. Every word that goes into an article is based on something factual and verifiable.) Every employee in any editorial capacity has access to the computer system, which shows every single change in every article, even the deletion of a one-letter typo, and who made the change and when.
So, yes, I have faith in the *legit* MSM. And I encourage everyone who isn't a GOP or a MAGA or a QAnon or a right-wing radical in any way to ***stop*** engaging in knee-jerk press-bashing, which is inaccurate and -- more to the point -- DANGEROUS. That's what *their* side does in order to generate distrust of the press. Therein lies autocracy.
The legit press isn't perfect. No entity or institution is. But everyone who offhandedly bashes it -- especially without knowing how it operates -- is being a useful idiot for the autocratic right. So please get some facts, and please rethink your approach. Thanks.
You worked in legit newsrooms. Key word is legit. I've watched MSNBC for 16 years until recently. No one is saying they're spewing fake news, what some of the commentators are doing is focusing on Biden's age ad nauseum while glossing over Trump's Epstein files and all his other craziness. It's just not my opinion that Tur and Mitchell have been the worst at this. Check out comments from other social media and those 2 are talked about the most. If I want to listen to Biden bashing and Trump being given a pass, I'll watch FOX instead. From what I read, all the major outlets are owned by Republicans. So really how legit is MSNBC on reporting the news in a fair and unbiased manner? As far as bashing the news industry, I don't have to know how to fly a plane in order to comment on it when the door blows off in mid flight. From other comments you've made in the past about the election, are you sure you're not sitting on the fence about this one with one foot in the MAGA pasture? And why are you always telling the rest of us how to think and feel? You are more than entitled to your opinion about all of this, but that doesn't mean you're going to try and tell me what mine should be. There - got it off my chest what I've wanted to say for a couple of days now.
Axios is reporting that President Biden is dropping out this weekend.
That’s the title, but the actual story says none of that.
Our MSM is in the tank for Trump and they are making it obvious.
I worked in television news in DC for many, many years and I know too well what bullshit goes on.
Here’s Axios.

Don't patronize us. We have seen the degradation of journalistic standards from the Reagan era onward. We know blatant bias when we see it.
Problem is those "legit" newsrooms were bought out years ago by Rupert Murdoch, Jeff Bezos, whoever owns the NYT now, etc. I believe the newsrooms you worked in were "legit". I do not believe the media, paper or television is "legit" any longer. Also, if people want to share their disappointment and disgust at how this incident and many others with trump is being reported, well.... a "legit" journalist would allow them to do that with grace. Not tell them to stop. So I'm sorry, but I'm not stopping but thank you for expressing your opinion.
That's how it used to be. But is not the case any longer, case in point "The Washington Post" which was always my go-to paper, has now hired a Murdoch Tabloid man, Will Lewis to run the place. He is presently in court in the UK, for his role in deleting Emails in the phone hacking scandal, and other deeds he performed in his role in the venal UK tabloid arena. When he bought the paper, Bezos had an agreement not to interfere with the running of the newsroom. And he didn't. Under the professional Icon Marty Baron (who helped break the story about the child abuse in the Catholic church in his paper at the time the "Boston Globe".) the paper kept to professional standards and was excellent. Baron retired, and Bezos on the advice of publisher Fred Ryan (the Reagan library keeper) hired Sally Buzbee who turned out to be the queen of both-siderism. Forced birther propaganda was normalized, and not fact-checked, more right-winger "Opinionists" were hired, and worst of all, the started using MAGA-buzzwords in their poorly edited headlines that were so bad, we all complained in the comments and they finally were to changed to something more accurate. Lewis hired another tabloid crony to along with a second crony to replace the "Both sides" Buzbee and the team absolutely revolted He also pressured the paper not to cover his dirty deeds abroad. She resisted and he fired her.
I understand defending your profession, but it's like the so-called reporters don't know their history, or anything about their story and publish every event as if it happens in a vacuum, medical misinformation abounds for instance:
there is no heart at six weeks, you need heartvalves to have a heartbeat, and those form much later, what they hear is primitive electrical impulses that can be duplicated in a petrie dish.
When you act as stenographer for the far right without fact checking the lies, you ARE part of the problem.

You are so correct. Trump already calls the press “the enemy of the people” I would really prefer we not do the same thing. Trump & the bribe-taking scotus have destroyed our faith in their objectivity & honor & Cannon has provided more proof that we can’t trust our legal system when it comes to anything involving Trump.
Let’s not do more damage, please.
CNN, in particular, fellates donkey phalluses.
Hell no!!! I ignore everything they say
it wasn't blood at all, Donnie popped a ketchup packet from McDonalds that had been in his coat upper pocket for the last 4 weeks.....
Do you think a magic bullet like the one in the JFK fiasco will show up with
The Demented Ones DNA on it after going 4 miles away from the shitheads ear 🧐🤔?
Debris from the podium was the reason for any injury inflicted on ear. An AR round traveling at supersonic speed does a heck of alot more damage than what we saw. I saw no damage...just the bright red stuff on ear.
That makes much more sense. I too had questioned the notion that an assault-weapon bullet could merely nick an ear. (Initially I read / heard that teleprompter glass was the culprit, but that was debunked; I’d not read / heard that podium debris was the culprit; that makes sense.)
Well Dee I could be wrong as I DID read that shattered glass was culprit...but we.arent getting any answers ...I need to just not write anything.
Here is what I perceive. Photos of the shattered teleprompter show that it was only the upper corner. It could easily have been a fine shard or grain of glass that went flying and hit his ear. He winced and held his ear as though he had just been stung by a wasp, not shot by a bullet. A bullet from the weapon used, whizzing that close to his head, would have knocked him down and torn off his ear if not half of his face! He was more concerned about photo ops and losing his shoes. Perhaps the reason his heavy leather shoes flew off his feet was because of the lift inserts. His heels (and bone spurs!) are positioned so high in his shoes that his shoes are in danger of falling off. That is probably why he has difficulty with stairs and declines. I saw a picture of a shoe and a lift insert lying in the grass alongside the platform. I don't know if it was genuine—did anyone else see it? His chief concern was about his shoes and he did not ask if anyone was hurt!
And ***that*** is exactly the problem, why we all are going with our theories. Because there is no information being released. And apparently no enterprising investigative reporters willing to dig.
There're to busy giving Biden a rectal exam every second of the day. While normalizing the Sieg Heil GQP. Can't report facts.
Chip of plexiglass. Nothing that requires a kotex taped to his head.
Yes, as bruce says, the news said a piece of glass from the teleprompter cut his ear. He is one lucky sonovabitch,. If that kid had military training or a better choice of weapons, or just had better aim, he'd be toast
TFG probably slapped his ear with a ketchup packet.
Or he had ketchup on his hand from his emotional support hamburger.
He did place a hand to his ear as he went down
Then that hand should have been bloody and it's not. Where's the blood running down his neck or on his shirt? There isn't any. Where's the news conference with the ER docs? Every other time a president is pretty sick or wounded, there's always a doctor news conference. Total silence on this one. The longer these questions go unanswered, the more it points to theatrics on his part.
And yet in footage after the shooting, both glass teleprompter paddles are still intact
I don’t think the shooter intended to hit tRump. He was a second amendment guy, apparently, living with his MAGA family. What makes the most sense to me is that he thought he would die a hero for his cause by starting the civil war that MAGA is longing for. At the very least it would be good publicity for tRump, and it has been. I would not be surprised at all if it was coordinated with the tRump campaign - maybe the shooter wasn’t even supposed to be killed
Respectfully, the poster needs to read a lot more. For that kind of tissue damage it's necessary to hit mass, not graze a little skin and cartilage.
And don't call me Shirley.
Maybe
IF a bullet nicked his ear it likely just kept on going. I wonder, in that case, if someone in the crowd,, "took a bullet" for him. He and his campaign certainly haven't spent much time talking about the dead and seriously injured. And whatever the forensic evidence ends up being, if it doesn't put tfg in a dramatic light it will be buried.
Absolutely
Speaking by phone to RFK junior, on the call made public by RFK III, he compared the experience to being buzzed by a gigantic mosquito. As I remember, he didn’t mention it biting him.
I suppose we may someday get a report of all the bullets and where they landed. Was the teleprompter hit? am also confused that sharpshooters could hit the assassin so quickly if they had not already seen him on the roof where he was standing up and aiming.
Yes indeed. Those poor children at Uvalde were killed by giant mosquitoes. Give me a break. They were unrecognizable.
If the Trumpies think that their story is falling apart….Suddenly! A pristine DNA COATED BULLET will magically appear after being found 5 miles away Imbedded in a mattress of a preacher of the faith ! It’s a miracle!😇🤣😂😅🤣
If this was fake, you will never hear it. We still don't know about the motive for the LV mass killing 7 years ago and the JFK assassination never passed the smell test 61 years later.
The shooter was prone. Try firing a rifle at a target 450 feet away and then get back to us as to how accurate you were. Keep a 5-round group inside a 1/2" circle.
Ooh, a GUNSPLAINER.
FUCKITY BYE.
I like your style, Kristy.
It's an aquired taste 😉
OK, prone. Hey, I once aimed a deer-hunting gun at a river. Direct hit! Recoil put me off guns forever.
That's just it, nobody is mentioning much of anything. Nurses everywhere chiming in but not getting the coverage they deserve. I got called out yesterday but in a civil way on this site about MSM not doing their job. It was stated that I was helping the right and Putin by dissing on them for their lack of coverage. Now we got this bullshit ear wound that along with all everything else that continues to get shit-canned that his assholiness pulls but hey, it must be ok if the media isn't reporting it. WTF, we deserve the facts and not these stories being ignored like it's no big deal especially with November right around the corner.
I agree with you about MSNBC. Many of us do. I've stopped watching them after 16 years.
They most definitely do not cover Rrump & all the crazy, inane stuff he does & says with the same scrutiny they place on Biden’s every move; that’s true.
It's so slanted and predictable these days that it's like loaded dice. It doesn't only pertain to Trump and his family but others within the MAGA congress as well.
The national press and political pundits are worse than useless at this point. The horse race coverage instead of, ya know, what each candidate would actually do has been driving me fucking insane. How is it this hard to just report the actual news without all of the bullshit commentary?
Agree. I’m a nurse too and this doesn’t pass the smell test. I worked in the operating room & never saw blood that color. I’m no conspiracy theorist, but I have lots of questions, and not providing full disclosure only increases those questions. Also I’ve never seen, nor put a bandage on an ear like that.
Saw that the maxipad-like bandage was the idea of Dr. Ronny "Pill Pusher" Jackson, to dramatize his wound. It worked, too. Did you see the MAGA stooges with similar stuff on their ears in the convention crowd? Whoo boy, such gullible dummies
That looked so silly, but then it’s his fanbase
I don't think they know how silly they look with all the MAGA accoutrements
Maybe it mixed with his makeup? I just can't buy the idea that they would plan to have actual guns shooting in the vicinity of his head when the shooter was no kind of pro and actual humans were injured or killed. As for the maxi-pad on his ear, that's to highlight his "martyrdom" and conceal the fact that the wound itself is unimpressive.
My husband suggested he would have them push him in in a wheelchair and cervical collar, like all the insurance fraudsters do!
Same here, They would have laughed us out of the OR for that.
It's a squib. His friends in the WWE know all about them.
TFG thinks he's an actor.
He did insist on a cameo appearance, everytime they wanted to film on one of his properties, one of the most famous ones being when he gives that kid directions in the kids movie "HomeAlone".
That's like a " featured extra " but of course he'd be paid more than scale. Not really acting, he was always himself.
Another RN here. I fully concur with my fellow nurses. Also, there was a picture with the ear exposed that seems to have disappeared. If anyone can find it, please share. Then the RN brigade will gladly ride again.
Fellow healthcare worker here (trauma/open heart/vascular surgery). Totally agree that the color of that "blood" was the first thing that jumped out at me. A weird washed-out watery color, and not much of whatever liquid that was, either.
I don't doubt that he was shot **at** (as others were actually killed or seriously wounded), that it was an attempted assassination.....but whether what we saw was an actual bullet wound is highly questionable.
Also, the crowd reaction seemed off. If I heard a gunshot, and someone nearby had actually been shot and wounded, I sure as hell wouldn't still be sitting in my seat, looking around like I was a spectator at a play. No one ran or ducked or cowered or hit the deck. It just all seemed "off."
He probably just smashed a ketchup packet on his ear.
I also noted that not one person in the massed crowd behind him even flinched until he stood up. Not a single one. All those videos of other shootings, and everyone one is running everywhere. Not this crowd. They just sat there, in the line of fire. Almost as if awaiting a cue.
It's a squib, like they use in Hollywood and WWE.
Ketchup was my guess from the get go
🎯
He hit his ear hard like he was killing a bee or something but when he moved his hand away, there was no blood. I think the investigation will reveal that it was staged and MAGA will call the investigation bogus. It never ends.
I agree. I thought the blood running down his face dried too quickly. Plus, how could you be pumping your fist in the air if you were shot? Trump is a huge coward. He would have been a puddle on the floor if he had been shot. I would have run off the stage so fast, you wouldn't see me for all the dust behind me.
I totally agree. WAY too many unanswered questions.
Hey, side note here. Did anyone see Rapey McForehead give his speech? He fell in a vat of Botox. Liberace is yelling from his grave, "Rapey stole my look." His dermatologist must've been a Democrat. 🤣🤣🤣
Looks like little Matt did an 8 ball the night before
It would be more surprising if he didn't.
I saw that. What a total freak Rapey is.... my God.
Bless that dermatologist 🤣🤣🤣
Saw the pictures of the Halloween-like results but I'm not watching any of this shitshow. Hopefully Pervey will keep going to the same dermatologist.
I saw a video. I'm not watching the cluster fuck shit show.
Kimmy Gargoyle looks like she ODed on it as well her eyes look like two beads imbedded in a marshmallow.
😄😂Yes. A very bizarre, extra creepy look for a creep.
😂
Susan, CNN just announced that they made up the Biden Should Step Aside storyline for ratings! 🤬 Boycott CNN!
https://x.com/blackknight10k/status/1814014834310324430?s=61&t=yhYiX46kUQXLskUKRjXsFw
Then why are top Democrats pissing themselves?
OMG! Thanks for this
Big question. Should be why are you suing Twitter, and why send a link to others? Has to be others discussing it besides in Twatter. Stop giving QEloon clicks and links. It just helps Qeloon and Twatter. Just stop using it. Delete your account and make him fail quicker.
Or a little, round, beige bandaid! What a charade!
Or nail polish. RED
My ears didn't bleed at all when I had them pierced.
My understanding is that the distribution of vessels varies quite a lot (for ex., the lobe is very fleshy but the rim of the ear isn't), but I could be wrong -- not a medical professional! Like all or most of us here today, I think we're missing a lot of crucial info. I'm glad that Jeff has, as always, bundled relevant stuff together in today's column.
If the cartilage that gives the external ear its shape was damaged it may never heal correctly and trump may end up with a deformed external ear. That would drive him nuts.
Where he allegedly got “shot” is all cartilage; no to very little bleeding. Even the lobe won’t bleed all that much. I’m thinking many of us have pierced our own ears enough to know this.
Yes, I know. I’ve a working knowledge of anatomy and have pierced my own ears in both areas under discussion. Isn’t that pretty much what I said?
Yes. I could have read your comment more carefully.
Did you try piercing it with bullet fragment?
He wasn't hit with a bullet
" fragment " he WASN'T HIT AT ALL.
You are so gullible
Sorry, should have noted sarcasm.
I don’t for one second believe he was hit with anything. I do like your posts.
😙💙
😁👏
HAHAH!!!
That's the lobe. I've accidentally nicked the top, and it bled like an SOB.
You don't think I had the cartilage pierced ? I didn't but, I don't think a " bullet fragment " nicked his ear, why would the bullet be fragmented, & WHERE IS IT ?
Retired Surgical assistant here, can confirm. It's a clownish, naked bid for attention.
As an MD I agree
Thank you!
Yeah, such a devastating wound the Secret Service didn’t need to stop the bleeding. Beca it se it stopped on its own. And of course, made the staged photos so colorful.
I believe it was, too
Agree!
OMFG. That photo of the clusterfuck groupies with maxi-pads on their ears is absolutely unbelievable - except it’s REALITY. What kind of brainless idiots do this kind of hero-worshipping shit???? It makes me want to vomit, bigly. 🤮🤮🤮
at least it's a step up from the lunatics wearing diapers in support of Dear Leader
You do have a point there, Jeff. Have these people all regressed to sixth grade where they all have to wear the same thing to be part of the “in crowd”??? If so, count me out. Far, far out.
In order to ‘regress’ you assume they somehow managed to get past the low point they are currently at, I believe this is not the case. They never progressed past where they are right now. 6th grade maybe 4th. Mentally 5-6 year olds in adult bodies.
Sorry for the segue
Anyone remember the ‘60’s and you and your date wore complimentary outfits? Going to the school picnic (remember those?), date night with friends?
They should put those diapers on their
" Shitheads ".
😂😂😂
It begs the question......if he forgot his diaper and shit himself, would they do the same? Or would that get their $299 Limited Edition Assassination Sneakers dirty?
😂😂😂😂😂
LOL

An ear diaper
But is it...really?
I said we should congratulate them on coming out publically with their diaper fetish!
Is it?
Yes, but a very small step.
Oh, don’t be fooled; they’re all in diapers.
Kind of Jim Jones crossed with a fascist Sun Myung Moon.
🎯
Isnt it a frightening commentary, Becky? It made me sick to see.
It’s like The Stepford Wives, but much worse. These “people” have lost whatever tiny minds they might once have possessed. It’s truly frightening to see this kind of stuff. Should we all go get Covid now so we can pledge fealty to Joe Biden? No, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT IN A CULT.
It IS a cult... humanity is so fragile.
Cult much?
If they really want to be good followers they need to have their ears nicked by an AR-15 before they receive the official Trump branded maxi pads for the ears. Which they have to pay for. It’s a cult duh.
You answered your own question: brainless idiots. And what is scary is there are so many. Like zombies all focused on one thing.
My grandson at about 8 yo had his head shaved along with his Cub Scout buddies to show support for a fellow troop member who was in a very bad way in the hospital with leukemia. That is understandable and heartwarming. But those idjits with the ear pads are ridiculous and so was their wussy candidate who was milking the nick like it was gashed instead of just a teensy nick.
Becky, I agree. The psychopaths sitting in the audience with their square white boo-boo covers imitating what? These people are beyond the word psychotic. Seriously! They have to be robots from another planet. Comically funny and fucking frightening at the same time. Did you see the video of the church lunatics praying for trump’s ear. I cried tears I laughed so hard!
I do hope they paid them to do that, trumpanzees are such attention whores always auditioning for reality TV, so it's hard to say.
In response to the rump fans with maxipads on their ears… that is all they got. Simpletons.
Here we go, an article from The Daily Beast about the “newest fashion trend”: https://apple.news/A_TbBsbvXRA2o9Lsw34lnFw
I was 8.5 months old when Reagan was shot, and good G-d, do I wish I were that age now. Also, LOL forever at the BIG TOUGH MAN using a maxi-pad sized bandage on a nick in his ear.
A " flesh " colored Dot Band - ade would be inobtrusive and tasteful, but ORANGE JESUS, needs his " stigmata ".
One commenter called it the next veil of Turin
😂😂😂😂
He's turned it into his Red Badge of Courage. The rubes love that shitshow.
You and me both. I was grown when Reagan was shot so I remember it well. I also remember both Kennedys, Wallace and MLK. Then the attempts of President Ford from the Manson crazy bunch. Very violent time. Those were real shootings. No one ever doubted that. Maybe you didn't go along with the final reason, but no one ever thought they were fake. I never believed the Warren Commission report. I read the entire book in high school. Don't think Oswald acted alone and who has the highest profile prisoner in the world (Oswald) and lets Jack Ruby just walk into the police station, walk up to Oswald and shoot him. Come on.
Reeked of cover-up.
Ruby was a mob guy. The mob and the CIA had a working relationship.(Castro)
That fucking ridiculous pristine "magic bullet" theory with multiple exit wounds never made any sense to me. Not to mention Ford was on the Warren commission and later wound up president which he never could have done otherwise. I think the VP slot was for services rendered. And him pardoning Nixon was further proof he was a puppet.
An ALLEGED nick on his ear.
It just occurred to me that was Ds bizarre way of saying...'I get my cultists to do anything for me' The oversized maxi pad is for effect.
The press is disinterested b/c it is afraid of what DJT will do to it if he’s elected, that’s why.
Imo, no bullet nicked his ear and that’s why his ear is covered. It’s so you can’t see his non-injury. AR-15s don’t nick anything.
Agreed ! If it was an AR15 bullet it would have displaced the left side of his head. From the Bolsanaro playbook, he tried the same shit by getting stabbed but the good people of Brazil were not buying it.
Staged event !
It was a small shard of glass or plastic if it was anything. Trumps playing us. It's what he does.
When this is all over, if America dissolves into authoritarianism, it will be on the press.
And I'm telling you all, the Democratic party could fuck up a one car funeral right now. JFC. They have GOT to unify....Adam Schiff? What the hell???
"a burst trash-bag of putrefying personality defects"....I'll be using that 😂😂😂
I agree. And I have no clue what’s going with the Dems. I was shocked when Adam Schiff came forward. They are being fooled by the media, and it’s pissing me off. It is time to unify behind Biden!!
With respect, Adam Schiff and others like him aren't "being fooled by the media." They're aware of and concerned about polls showing that most voters think Biden -- whom many considered too old and too frail even before the debate -- should go.
It stinks that the electorate is so ill-informed. It stinks that Biden hasn't gotten the credit he deserves for his spectacular admin. It stinks that even though he's only 3 years older than djt he seemed about 10 years older. All of this stinks. That said, it's important for us -- the rational people, the non-GOPs, the non-MAGAs --to be accurate, including when we criticize Dems who raise concerns. Thanks.
I don’t agree. Biden has the support of the black community, especially black women, women and because Kamala is next in line if anything happens to Biden next term, then young vote. She cannot beat Biden now. Too many racists. And no other potential candidate polls better than Biden. He’s our candidate. He has been stellar since the debate. One damn night. Did you hear him speak to the NAACP WHILE HAVING COVID? They loved him? He blew Lester Holt out of the water. Unscripted while being badgered again about his age and stepping down. If democrats want to win they need to listen to Michael Steele and get on board!
🎯sadly true, too many racists, and misogynists.
Schiff made no mention in his statement that he'd spoken to Biden, or anyone who worked with him. And to call for Biden to step down now, long after the debate is over and multiple events after he's shown he's fit to do the job WHICH HE'S DOING RIGHT NOW, it's either the height of hubris or disingenuousness.
Schiff should know better.
Very disappointed in him. But I'm sure he could care less. I don't live in Cali.
It isn’t only Schiff. I was initially on the Biden train but seeing him on tv made me change my mind. And the people who are speaking out are growing. They see him regularly and like most 81 year olds, he probably has really good days and some not so good days. The problem is he is the President of the United States and he has to have good days every single minute of every single day. It isn’t fair but it is the truth, especially when there is an authoritarian waiting to take over the country. These people know way more on the inside of what is going on than we Joe public and I am trusting that this Covid bout may be the thing that is the excuse for him to leave. The Dems have got some other people already waiting and ready to go. Its a gamble no matter what when there are so many idiots in the USA backing a rapist criminal, but someone has got to lead and make a decision damn quick and I think the decision has been made. I think Joe is going and god bless him for what
He has accomplished and to all gods and goddesses that may exist, please make the decision to have him step aside be the right one. I will vote for anyone that runs agains the pigs in the opposite party, but I don’t think anymore
It will be Joe and I will get behind whoever it is with everything I have.
He has Covid right now. CNN keeps showing him getting off the plane looking tired. He has Covid you fucking jackals! Also no one else except Kamala can use the war-chest they have raised. Anyone jumping in with 4 months to go would be starting from zero, against a well-funded incompetent, orange monster who the big corporations want to win for the tax breaks, as he will save them billions.
Today, Jake Tapper called President Biden “deadman walking”!
I can’t believe what a horrible excuse for a human being he is.
EfN, I totally agree with you. This is spot on. These people think Democrats will ALL agree on ONE person to suddenly take over. I wonder who they really are to keep everyone on this subject. Now let’sctalk PROJECT 2025-Let’s talk about a 34-count FELON RAPIST running for the office of president when he couldn’t run for state office, if he wanted to!
Natalie, she’s trolling
F off.
President Biden is beating Trump in the polls after the debate.

They're backstabbers concerned with only themselves.
Schiff is protecting himself in his race. He's not doing it for the good of the country.
Never forget, Dee, trump is a master of the media
Dee- I think you are the ill-informed one here. Your character of Biden is quite exaggerated. I thought you said accuracy was important.
Schiff for prez Biden be
🎯🎯🎯Dee!
Not all Dems, just stupid white men of means.
Laura Who, The good thing to see is that our backlash online is growing. We are finally ignoring the idiots! There are more of us and that’s what RescumliCons know! That is why there is desperation and foreign money in our politics.
Bingo, Susan. I am so pissed at Schiff and the other cowardly or overly ambitious Jerkoffs who are pulling this Biden Should Step Down assholery. Typical circular dem firing squad.
So very pissed.
Schiff, Pelosi, Schmucky Chuckie, etc. are making us all look ridiculous!
What made Schiff think that was a good move? The bubble he lives in? I’ve unsubscribed to anything I receive from him. I called his DC office and told him that announcement was outrageous and wrong. We held a Primary and Biden was selected. Time for Schiff, Schumer to resign. Although Nancy has done amazing things, she has also effed up. She was the first to say, trump would NOT be impeached. She’s beyond her useful life in politics. Too much religious crap comes out of her mouth. Time to move in out!
Susan, I thought I was the only person who used “fuck up a one car funeral”
Excellent choice of words!💋
😂😂 It's a classic, isnt it? And very accurate in this case!
Never heard that one, but I like it!
I agree about effing up a one car funeral. And the Repugs want us to buy that D’s stealthily stole an election in multiple states???? I don’t think so. 🙄
FUNNY HE COULD PLAY GOLF SUNDAY. WE ARE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE IN THE U.S. BECUASE OF WHAT THE GOP HAS DONE TO OUR COURTS, THEY ARE NO LONGER FAIR AND IMPARTIAL AND MOST OF THE IS DUE TO MOSCOW MITCH.
Mitch McConnell is an evil person.
Great questions that the damn media should be fucking answering!🤬
The media has given trump total immunity just as SCOTUS has.
Good observation Peg...sadly you are right. They've surrendered too
🎯They are either funded by or are afraid of his buddy Putin.
Didn't someone say once 'the revolution will be televised'?
No. The song is the revolution will NOT be televised. Not sure they're right tho.
Gil Scott Heron, said “the rev. will not be televised “.
Why? 1) Because being purveyors of honest coverage, the right to do so afforded them by the First Amendment, has become a burden they no longer seem to want to bear and 2) They are all vying, foolishly I might add, for the State TV position.
It's all about ratings. Trump is always newsworthy for some stupid stuff. Also, they want to be on his good side if he wins so they can continue to push the lies to the American public.
Remember when your Ma said T.V. would ruin your mind ? Well ? MAAAA! You were so fucken right! I thought she was talking about The 3 Stooges ! Not all the stooges in Washington D.C. MAAAAA !🥴😅🤣
Nothing is going on under that bandage.
Knock on that pumpkin head and it’s empty except for the ghosts of Mommie and Daddy Dear.
" the ghosts of Mommie and Daddy Dear" -- spot on.
So much truth in this piece, and such great lines.
"Ear-gate"!
"Donny was already a burst trash-bag of putrefying personality defects."
July 13: a day earmarked for infamy! This shit is pretty ear-ie! Yeah, I know, I'm a regular Svengoolie.
🏆😂😂😂 Appreciate the needed humor 🥳
His first instinct is to lie and cover-up,then sue.
It's this type of journalistic integrity and insight that make thus the best $5 per month investment worth every penny. You should support brother Jeff too.
I agree!! Everyone should think about becoming a paid member. Jeff’s writing is by far the best on politics and “little Donny fuckface”. I love it here
Him and Marc Elias.
He keeps me sane, He, Hopium Chronicles, and Jay Kuo.
No ear damage. This is a hoax to manipulate morons
Pretty sure I’ve nicked myself worse whilst shaving my armpits.
The moronic dumkopfs mimicking the moronic emperor stupid by wearing their mr pillow mini pads on their moronic heads LOVE THIS. He is their born agin' JEEEEEEEZUSSS. The media can't be bothered with researching and digging for facts. "It was an Iranian plot" says the secret service. Oh, okay. ZERO questions about the money, the purchase of the gun by his dad WHO CAN AFFORD THAT???? AND ROUNDS OF EXPLOSIVES???? Oh. But. Joe. Biden. is old and has covid. And, p.s. fuk Adam Schiff!
AGREE!!!!!!! Adam Schiff can fuck right off. I'm so pissed at him.
Me too! And I love Adam, I really do, but I’m with you, fuk him for jumping on the replace Biden wagon.
I’m hoping he’ll realize how hard the millions of grassroots activists and supporters are working hard to get Biden re-elected and he’s telling them don’t bother he’s gonna lose?
That’s Bullshit, Adam. Stop it.
The MSM are scared shitless of Donald. They are obeying their billionaire-owned corporate masters. Our once-trusted institutions are all crumbling.
Yep and msnbc & cnn talking heads are trying to avoid execution when the nazis grab the Oval
CNN is owned by a deplorable far-right republican Robert Malone, one of the men that ruined cable TV, by turning the Discovery channel into (so-called) reality TV channel.
But they will be executed anyway, that's how stupid they are. They believe this shit will save them....it won't.
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯They sold us out by taking over respected sources of news. And turning them into propaganda mouthpieces.
all while working toward a monolithic, state-owned media. MSM are scrambling to find their place in such a post-Trump landscape.
ODFG "a burst trash-bag of putrefying personality defects" 🤣 you just won the internet Jeff.
So lemme get this straight... a .223/5.56 round typically used in an AR15 has a muzzle velocity of AT LEAST 3,200 feet per second, i.e. well and truly supersonic, and after 400 it's barely any slower. If you hear one go by you, you can't miss it.
And yet somehow the battery boat captain only got a scratch on the tip of his ear? Seems like a JFK-esque magic bullet. Even after his supersonic scratch, and the SS yelling at him to "get down" he got down s-l-o-w-l-y. Maybe he's got arthritis as well as a case of the stoopids?
We'll probably never know, but he's either the luckiest mofo or he got a bit of shrapnel from the teleprompter. Yeah, ears bleed. Yeah, he shouldn't have been shot, even though he's an evil fucker, but this is just more trump bullshit milking an owie and turning it into a near mortal wound.
Really good questions, Jeff. All of them. Doesn’t the Secret Service work for the Biden Administration? How do they keep his medical records secret then ? Who is helping Trump from the SS ? The “ Free” Press needs to ask our Surgeon General for the answers they would get if it were Biden getting shot. Hell, we get more questions and answers when Biden gets a cold !!!
Trump's medical records are covered by the HIPAA law. Only Trump can say he wants them public or a court order by a judge. Never going to happen.
HIPPA concerns never stopped the Press from pushing and pulling Biden to disclose his medical condition.
True, but they only found out about Biden's condition/health when he chose to tell them. Unless they bribe a hospital employee to give them the records, they're never going to see them. For willful disclosure of health records especially for financial gain - possible imprisonment and up to $250,000 fine. I go out of my way to never violate HIPAA. Not only is it the right thing to do for the patient, I'm not taking the chance of being fired.
Only applies to the medical attendents though. Not to non-medical personnel.
True, but non-medical people don't have access to patients records unless they hack the computer system. Someone has to violate HIPAA if records are given out without the patient's permission.
I’m so hoping the DNC will have speakers from donald’s previous administration who could expose what a totally unstable liar he is - especially the generals!
