I don't know about God, but clearly there is some kind of Demiurge at play. Because how the fuck else do you explain Donald Trump's plot armor? At this point if this were a series and it wasn't meant to be a goofball comedy about an inept politician, I'd call bullshit.
Saving the anti-christ. Their invisible space monkey is so awesome.
God: Obviously I'm not able to stop the gunman from becoming insane and buying a ranged hypodermic lethal injection device, he's way too powerful for me, but maybe I can use what little power I actually possess to slightly nudge this bullet away from a man who is objectively awful and into a man who saves lives for a living. Yeah, I'll do that.
Christofascists: SCORE!
I know we would have someone more capable of implementing the hateful, bigoted policies that the right has to offer if Trump was assassinated. But man, I’d be watching that video and rejoicing in his public execution, every fucking day.
He fired the whole bullet. That's 30 percent more bullet per bullet!
Cave Johnson - we're done here!
that is some ai shit on top of it
The only giveaway is the weird looking bullet tho
Fuck you're right, I didn't even notice it still has the f'n shell on it
I was more looking at the glitchy nonsensical brush strokes
When John Paul II was shot he first thanked the guiding hand of the Virgin Mary for moving the bullet away from his heart. Didn't give so much merit to the team of doctors who fought to save his life, and didn't wonder why Mary didn't move the bullet completely out of the way.
"People who believe in god thank god for stuff, more news at 11"
Don't forget, the volunteer firefighter was MAGA, so...
There's no God, if there was the bullet would have hit Trump in the face. But just like Hitler he evaded every attempt on his life. Honestly, the resemblance with Hitler is insane. Doesn't drink alcohol, has weird hair, spreads hate and fear, targets minorities, sends them to a concentration camp across the border, targets judges, media and politicians opposing him. Only difference is that Hitler actually improved the German economy, something Trump fails misseably at.
Oh damn! Again, the similarities... But eventually he got the economy running, when he started to make vast amounts of war machines.
He was MAGA, but he still saved people because that was his job at least.
But hurting and killing people with his vote
I'm honestly not sure that Trump's death would have been the best thing for the world.
Hear me out.
If Trump were assassinated, he would have become a martyr - and it would have been easy to paint the Left as the culprits, thus obliterating any chance of winning the upcoming election, and more. But it wouldn't have been Trump who won the presidency - it would have been someone more capable and more subtle.
Trump is laying such waste to the government that he's quickly turning people against him - and his vanity and incompetence are undermining his own party's efforts to secure their power. As long as we survive the current attacks on democracy - which is, admittedly, a big if - then he may have utterly destroyed the power base for the GOP for a long time to come. A destruction that wouldn't have happened if someone with their sanity intact had landed the office.
We're going to suffer in the meantime, but at least we have a chance to turn it around - a chance that may not have happened if Trump had eaten that bullet.
If trump would have died, JD Vance wouldn't be 2nd in command. When he dies now, JD gets the throne and he's a lot worse.
People were done with Trump during and after his first term. Even Fox. But people forgot his shitshow within a few years.
He might have become a martyr, but remember he was shot by a republican. So the damages wouldn't be as big as when it would have been a democrat, or an immigrant.
Political assassination is almost always bad, but there are a few cases where it actually would be beneficial. Like with Hitler for example. Trump is Hitler the second, so I believe it wouldn't be that bad when he would go. Except for now, because JD is Hitler on steroids. So please, Donny, don't die for the next 4 years.
No, we had our chance to turn it around, after 2020.
We boofed it by not throwing Trump and any loyalists in prison for treason.
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.
This is the first time I heard of this and made me really curious. I tried my best to find any proof, confirmations or fact checking sites backing up this claim, but nada. Either the dude has succesfully paid literally everyone to lie, or, sometimes the truth sounds worse than a lie and our cognitive function really wants approvals for that.
If you have something solid, please send it to me, wish I could use this argument, but at this point I'd feel like yellow press
This, I can believe. Now, it's not necessarily true it would've mangled his ear if it was a grazing shot, but a graze likely wouldn't have bled quite as much as Donald's wound did. A small laceration from a piece of plastic that had been, uh, acutely accelerated in his direction makes a lot more sense.
He probably wasn't even hit by that. Blood capsules are cheap, probably a trick he learned from his work with the WWE.
A bullet would have to actually hit the ear for what you describe. But I guess you have a vested interest in not at least trying to understand this.
You understand that the space-time we inhabit, or at least I do, has a very high resolution? The bullet can be any distance at all from the ear as it flies by.
Is this clear?
IIRC this was debunked, there's image of the bullet trail going past his ear. There was also no screen nearby that launched shrapnel in his direction iirc.
and this is why we aim for centre mass
Yep. Even if Donald has been wearing body armor, I'm not sure his 78 year old probably on blood thinners ass would've been able to take it.
Yea, if that kid would have gone to any form of military basic training MAGA would be gone now. Hell, they may have moved on and become a normal republican populist movement that hated businesses and banks (as the historic norm).
The Tea Party (2008-2009ish) was the first modern populist movement to get mass mind controlled by big money. People were losing their houses in the mortgage crisis, and people were duped into rallying against a mortgage relief program.
The entire relief program was proposed at 700 billion, with 46 billion for mortgage relief ... but republicans got steered and focused at the mortgage relief portion and the Tea Party formed.
It's usually the most vile beings that get to live their life to the fullest...
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.
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
While and head shot is more fatal. He would have been able to land multiple chest shots at that distance. A bullet to the heart would end him, and multiple shots would be difficult to survive.
People forget what a big person Trump is.
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.
Why do you think police are trained to aim center mass
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.
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.
Yeah highschool kids never lie. You should always just take what they said at face value.
I honestly don't think the gun was ever aimed at Trump. His "wound" was gone basically overnight.
Someone got a nice spiral from throwing A WHOLE ASS CARTRIDGE
LOL, if they showed a 5.56 bullet at actual size people wouldn't believe it's so tiny.
Damnit I just lost two hours to a tvtropes rabbit hole.
Everyone knows a crossroads demons made a deal with his supporters
So god is a cunt. Why should I worship it again?
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
Trump paid his respect to the FF, by ignoring the wife and made out with a new firefighter uniform on stage
This attitude is unproductive. He still died protecting his family. Martin Luther stood up to the establishment and is seen as a hero as such, even though he carried antisemitic views. Churchill was a hero in fighting nazism, even though he used terminology in memoirs that weren't very politically correct. Sure, Corey was flawed in that he was supporting trump (which a large amount of Americans were doing), but it's not worth saying his life had no value over it, especially when he died shielding his family.
Protecting his family Jesus, where do people get this shit? He was standing in a field. Like a dolt. Cheering on a fascist.
Protecting them from what? There was one shot.
His life didn't have no value. It had negative value. Just like every other brain dead asshole who still supports that orange turd.
He was a fucking traitor. His family, and the world, is better off without him passing his ignorant treasonous ideas down to his children.
Braindead take.
The pigglets roll in their own > shit so of cource their AI slop get them going. Their stupidity is a choice...
With God so withered, no wonder the world's in the state it's in.
Proof that God hates America
volunteer firefighter
computer, zoom in and enhance
woke socialist antifa parasite
VOLUNTEER firefighter? That sounds like woke socialist bullshit to me, should've smited him instead. /s
Looks like a vomit ear fryerbrain
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?
Everything is God's plan. Still God's hand then.
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"
