Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Well DUH.
Thanks for catching up to the rest of us, MAGA!
Ears don't heal themselves like that.
I don't think a school shooter trying to clip the President so his sempais at Demolition Ranch will notice him is as crazy a theory as "Trump paid a teenager to wing him in the ear so he could..." I'm not sure what exactly? Beat a punching bag like Kamala Harris by an extra point when he was already favored to win?
Like, the guy standing behind Trump did die. This "fake" assassination was using real ammo.
He wasn't hit in the ear. The kid was told to shoot into the crowd, Trump made his own ear bloody. Not his first live kayfabe performance.
At the crowd behind Trump, but not at Trump? And then he got near enough to the mark that he shattered the teleprompter which was right in front of Trump? And kill a guy just off his shoulder?
Come on, dude. Is it really so hard to believe someone sincerely wanted this guy dead?
I'm more inclined to believe this was a deliberate hit job (by, say, the FBI or CIA... or OUN-B) that failed than a fake hit job that succeeded.
Also, I find it harder to believe the CIA failed to assassinate him than that it was a publicity stunt.

They eventually got him at age 92 with the oldest CIA trick in the book - waiting until he dies of natural causes.
I maintain my position.
They'll get him eventually
I do find it hard to believe that someone would risk their life to take a shot at Trump. There's more to the story one way or another.
It's no more illogical than any school shooter who ends up killing themselves halfway through a spree
This guy is no less logical than the Columbine or Sandy Hook shooters
