Keep trying to tell y'all Trump died that day and got replaced by a body double and you can tell by the ears but I'm "crazy".

Patriots are in control (of the doppelganger factory that libs use to hide the fact that people like Clinton and Soros have been secretly arrested and executed)

Trumps such a shitty capitalist he couldn't even capitalize on and exploit a literal assasination attempt that could have swept him into office lol

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Covid should have swept him into office. He’s really not successful at much of anything except fooling large numbers of Americans.

we forgot it like we forget an episode of monday night raw.

Donald Trump looked disgusting--ear cartilage protruding--in his blood stained suit before his supporters. Very very disrespectful.

Still not a single shred of video from Trump's right side

Also the same guy who took the bush 9/11 photo caught a 2,000 feet/second object w/ a 30 frame/second camera

??? yeah you'd expect a fast-moving object to be caught as a blur on a camera capturing light for that long, it isn't like snapshot frames being pushed out by the GPU

.. yeah? Cameras capture light over a duration. Anything that reflects light will be captured.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If an object is left of frame in 1/30 of a second and right of frame by the next 1/30 of a second, it's not going to be captured.

Although that's only relevant when taking video. If it's a picture that means he happened to press the button in the tiny fraction of a second the bullet was in frame.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Neither of those things you said are true. Both still cameras and video cameras capture light for some nonzero length of time to form each frame. This is called shutter speed. Objects that move during this short duration will show up in the still/frame but be blurry.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Both what I said and what you said are true and not mutually exclusive. If it's only in frame between the end of taking one frame and the beginning of taking the next, it won't show up.

And especially with a rolling shutter if the bullet enters and exists the frame before the rolling shutter has gotten down to it, it won't show up.

Trump sitting on the stage clutching his bloody ear and groaning in moderate pain repeatedly for several minutes with nothing else happening.

Now, where's my Emmy?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It's wild. I'll admit I was worried about it helping him swoop back in.

I think the fact the shooter was a white reactionary just looking to kill anyone famous nearby took some of the wind out of their sails. That and how Trump wasn't really that badly hurt, like it turns out it was a scrape from some glass not an actual gunshot wound. It's not like Reagan having to have surgery.

That and the timing of Biden stepping down and Harris ascending.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Whether or not it was intentional, the timing of Biden stepping down was very good for the democunts.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

If they wanted us to remember it, he shouldn't have missed.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Shootings have been super normalized, and politically-aware Americans are super polarized. Reagan got a 10% approval rating bump after his but that shit wouldn't happen for anyone today.

You mean EX-president. Fucker doesnt deserve the respect of the title.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

as if any US president deserves an ounce of respect

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

the title shouldn't confer any respect if you know any US or world history whatsoever

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

They all deserve to be tried for war crimes and more
