THIS is who they are. COVER everything up. THEY don't want answers. THIS has been the worst investigated incident, i've ever seen. Hell woulldn't surprise me if it were FAKE blood from a squeeze capsule.

It's certainly not beneath him. Nothing is. -nt CrispyQ Jul 2024 #1

I always wondered what he'd try if he got desperate enough. calimary Jul 2024 #28

trump is a moron, but a moron who conspies to let someone shoot real bullets at... brush Jul 2024 #2

I didn't read it as OP was implying the event was staged SomedayKindaLove Jul 2024 #6

The gunman shot real bullets. One person was killed, two others injured. brush Jul 2024 #8

Sure, but a 20 year old loser known for having bad aim... Bucky Jul 2024 #41

No sarcasm gif? Entrusting a shooter with poor aim who could be an inch off either way... brush Jul 2024 #50

Nonsense. As if he'd put himself in sights of a rifle. A man was killed, two seriously injured. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #4

No, but I read it was broken glass that hit him Joinfortmill Jul 2024 #34

You read that from speculators who looked for confirmation and not facts. See post 22 Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #38

According to FBI, they don't know what hit him Joinfortmill Jul 2024 #45

There is only one side about the assassination attempt: the facts. The FBI have not officially resolved the facts Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #47

Wow. I just stated what the FBI director said. Joinfortmill Jul 2024 #48

You are not the only one reading this thread or subthread. But we all know lectures are such horrific things, eh? Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #75

The FBI director testified under oath that Sunsky Jul 2024 #44

I suspect he was cut by a glass shard from the Teleprompter nt cyclonefence Jul 2024 #5

What caused the glass shard? Did it leap off of the teleprompter? rsdsharp Jul 2024 #13

They're saying it was shrapnel, which is metal shards or debris from the bullet FakeNoose Jul 2024 #18

It could have been an intact bullet simply nicking his ear. rsdsharp Jul 2024 #21

The teleprompter was intact. 2naSalit Jul 2024 #15

Thanks for the correction. nt cyclonefence Jul 2024 #96

the teleprompters were intact, yet you and many others here keep pushing this CT Celerity Jul 2024 #19

OY!!! That's closer than I EVER wanted to get to that bastard. calimary Jul 2024 #31

Better adjust your suspicions to match reality. Teleprompter was disproven on the day of the event Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #22

Thanks. nt cyclonefence Jul 2024 #95

Ruptured eardrum... theCHARLOTTEan Jul 2024 #7

Ruptured by what? ZZenith Jul 2024 #10

Supersonic shockwave of passing bullet. theCHARLOTTEan Jul 2024 #14

I believe the photographed "bullet" is actually a tiny space ship rictofen Jul 2024 #20

The shockwave from a super sonic round would be loud, but not enough dBs to rupture your eardrum. LudwigPastorius Jul 2024 #25

I Agree With You ProfessorGAC Jul 2024 #101

Was wondering about heat. Is a bullet hot after being fired? Could a bullet passing very near cause burns? Attilatheblond Jul 2024 #29

It was undoubtedly hot somewhat, but not enough to cauterize the wound, especially so briefly Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #39

Thanks for the info re velocity and time, but I wasn't talking cauterizing, I meant just good ol fashioned burns Attilatheblond Jul 2024 #71

Interesting analysis. I don't think the bullet airspeed heats it much, not compared to heating from firing energy. . .nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2024 #73

Thanks for the input. What I know about bullets in flight is to avoid them Attilatheblond Jul 2024 #80

i searched for bullet graze wounds and the area surrounding do not look burnt. LeftInTX Jul 2024 #85

Thanks for the great info Attilatheblond Jul 2024 #99

Hmmmmm... MOST interesting. calimary Jul 2024 #100

Look at the blood, though orange jar Jul 2024 #12

Agree. He likely reactively swiped at the area himself. Much of his cheek is smudged. We've all done that allegorical oracle Jul 2024 #70

I see the bleeding stopped by that point. tenderfoot Jul 2024 #91

It wasn't staged but MiKenMi33 Jul 2024 #35

FBI Director testified they still don't know Joinfortmill Jul 2024 #36

Yes, So three is a BIG Question. TY Cha Jul 2024 #37

We have no way of knowing. Remember, when you ASSuME Bucky Jul 2024 #40

I think the fact they won't release medical plus lack of interest in what actually happened JI7 Jul 2024 #42

I think that may have been the case. kentuck Jul 2024 #43

More likely, he lied about the source of his injury. GoCubsGo Jul 2024 #46

Yep, and he knew and lied! He is who he is! sunflowerseed Jul 2024 #68

Has there ever been another DU thread... Paladin Jul 2024 #49

If it had been staged (or was fake), no_hypocrisy Jul 2024 #51

You're talking about a man who allowed the siege on the Capitol go on long after the Scrivener7 Jul 2024 #61

Point taken. Well taken. no_hypocrisy Jul 2024 #63

Also, I was just watching Lawrence's show from yesterday. He had an excerpt of Scrivener7 Jul 2024 #67

Who cares? He was a victim of a failed assassination attempt. Let him wear gauze on his head if he wants. nt Gore1FL Jul 2024 #54

Maybe, but his ear is old news. I think 33taw Jul 2024 #55

To be honest, one can't tell from those images that the teleprompter is intact. mucholderthandirt Jul 2024 #74

He has a wound. Wray's testimony at the senate Politicub Jul 2024 #76

Why hasn't the news media clamored for info? RussBLib Jul 2024 #77

The NY Times is trying to convince us that it was a bullet. tenderfoot Jul 2024 #78

EXACTLY! bluestarone Jul 2024 #82

I'm hoping for my own personal victory lap should that be the case. tenderfoot Jul 2024 #90

Not worth speculating about. Bullet or shrapnel. Who cares? nt LAS14 Jul 2024 #81
