Blood was pouring everywhere? No, it was dripping from the top of your ear only. I have had more blood from a bloody nose on occasion.

And, bullets continued to fly? Weren't there only three in total from his would-be assassin. Continued to fly sounds like a non-stop barrage of many, many bullets.

This is from the NY Times. The pic at the top (not black box where video didn't archive) shows the area of the fairgrounds where the rally was.
https://archive.is/srrT0

You can zoom in and see each individual chair. Someone more patient than me could use the chairs to estimate the bleacher capacity. The standing area is harder to estimate. I don't know how big the fairgrounds area is as a whole, but this looks to me more like a small concert capacity.

Fri Jul 19, 2024, 12:35 AM
Jul 2024

Either way, Whether or not someone supplies food or any other commodity I need and pay for has no bearing on what if anything, I have in common with them personally. Farmers aren't growing food out of the goodness of their heart anyway; they're doing it because it's their job. We all have to make a living (those of us who weren't born into endless wealth) by doing a job that we get paid for. Some people's job is growing crops, raising livestock, etc., and more power to them. That doesn't mean the rest of us all owe them a special debt of gratitude that supersedes the good of the country and the future of our democracy.

I don't feel like I have anything in common with someone who thinks a twice impeached, sexual assaulting, convicted felon and would be dictator who hates and wants to harm me and people I care about should be potus, no matter what they may produce. MAGA morons could sh*t diamonds and rubies, for all I care. If they vote for that orange hellbeast, they're idiots who are harming this country. That is all.
