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!

I watched a YouTube video where someone tried to recreate the shot that apparently sliced his ear so slightly that all it did was bleed a little...and they failed every time.
Simply due to the pressure wave created by the passing bullet, there was no possible way that bullet just knicked him without also doing noticeable damage to the rest of his head. That side of his face would have been bruised and swollen, and his entire ear would have been pulped.
He was prepared for it, and learned the trick from the McMahons of cutting your ear a little bit in the ring. Palm a safety pin or razor blade and boom, nicked ear
Yes, the sundowning old dipshit is well known for his feats of legerdemain.
Trump is Neo dodging bullets apparently.
No but when we're ready, he won't have to.
I know it sounds silly. He loves wrasslin', and he's a showman. I wouldn't put it past him in one of his more lucid moments.
Actually I first bought in to the idea that he scraped it on something on the way down...
I wouldn't grasp at straw like this if they weren't lying to us twenty times a day
Wasn't it glass that caused the cut?
Has anyone seen the medical records regarding this incident?
I don't know if the the cause of a superficial nick like that can even be determined.
I think the secret service or something came out and said "it wasn't the glass"
Because Trump wanted to have been shot, not hit with a shard of glass, in a location likely above the ear.
But, tiny shard of glass doesn't play well with the base.
The real cut was likely sealed with medical adhesive the second Trump was in the car. That too wouldn't play well, so he got a medic to slap a bandage on the side of his head, but he took it off because his dumbass followers were wearing ear diapers as well.
Could have been when they where manhandling him. Could have been anything really. Old people have very fragile skin.
The word you are looking for is soft. Trump is very soft, almost pillowly. Not just on the outside either, he is very soft on the inside and his brain is very soft to. Soft little hands and soft saggy balls with a little soft dick.
The only part that is hard is his thick skull, but despite this he is still soft in the head.
Link to video?
I'll check. But, it was probably over a year ago.
