when weapons are fired [inside a hotel], "sometimes you find the bullet, and sometimes it just disappears."

I saw a post that showed big holes in the wall of the hotel where officials had cut into --most likely to retrieve the bullets-but can't find it now.

The crazed gunman fired hundreds of shots at the brave security guys, so he is guilty as hell!

Just that we can't find any of them.

This is suspiciously suspicious!

Could it be the shooter got nowhere near his targets, and the mysteriously invisible bullets were all from the super-duper brave guys?

Maybe . . . just the one shot, and a few echoes?

I have many hours firing shotguns at clays, and I loled. Even a .410 has enough of a scatter radius to mess someone up. Ludicrous.

Friendly fire hit that agent.

They never existed.

You know what I find the weirdest thing about this supposed assassination attempt?

I find Trump, Malaria, Sedgehog, Caroline and many of the correspondents laughing and joking, with shit eating grins, after it happened to be very weird. It was like they were laughing at one big joke.

... that evil fuck, is so full of shit his eyes are brown. Evidence recovery is a very precise process; he doesn't know what he's talking about. But then, he's a Republican, so lying comes as naturally to him as breathing.

Doublespeak and Newspeak are no longer Orwellian ideas, they are current events and modern 'journalism' at network outlets. Fow News has been the engine of this destruction for the entirety of its fetid existence and now cast-offs from that heinous ship are in positions of power in the ruling party. Gee, I am sure glad we have such powerful followers in resistance to them. (if you need the emoji here, I can't help you)...

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
― George Orwell, 1984


The ends in this current abomination are not policies or programs or ways to improve life for the population or the poor. The end is power and power alone is everything.

We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984

Trump's former personal attorney will likely be confirmed to head the Dept of "Justice" on the expectation that he will be a more effective liar than Pam Bondi, better at covering up the crimes of his boss, and more successful in prosecuting his political enemies.

that new top secret disappearing ammo. It is made of frozen hydrogen, it must be kept very very cold until use. After it is shot, it sublimates and disappears, as quickly as a fart in the wind or the names of major Republican donors from the Epstein Files.
