The Lord works in mysterious ways?

He fired the whole bullet. That's 30 percent more bullet per bullet!

Cave Johnson - we're done here!
Odd, because that's usually the sort of basic firearms mistake that right wingers love to use as a gotcha.
- its nearly certainly AI that drew the cartridge flying with a white male hand touching it
- It's also a .22LR cartridge, which is the wrong caliber. Trump was shot at with a .223.

Someone got a nice spiral from throwing A WHOLE ASS CARTRIDGE

God has 6 dicks so he can fuck us over our entire life.
- One for each day of the week and rest on Sundays.
At least god doesn't have six fingers.
Nope, he only has 4. As intended :)

The thing that I will never not think about is how, given the distance and human reaction time and other factors, it's very likely that the shooter had Donald dead to rights when he pulled the trigger. Then, God's favorite idiot jerked his head to the side like he always does when he speaks, probably around the exact same moment the shooter pulled the trigger, and instead of blowing the back of his head clean off, it grazed his ear. I'm not sure anyone can convince me that the shooter didn't fuck up; Donald just got incredibly, unbelievably lucky.

He was not struck with a bullet. It was shrapnel from one of the nearby screens. There's a reason they didn't release the first medical report and took a week to get their favorite lying doctor (who is not a practice doctor any longer because he's in Congress) to release his own lie filled report.
A bullet would have torn off a hunk of his ear. We've seen the lack of wound within days of the event.
- This, I can believe. Now, it's not necessarily true it would've mangled his ear if it was a grazing shot, but a graze likely wouldn't have bled quite as much as Donald's wound did. A small laceration from a piece of plastic that had been, uh, acutely accelerated in his direction makes a lot more sense.
- IIRC this was debunked, there's image of the bullet trail going past his ear. There was also no screen nearby that launched shrapnel in his direction iirc.
- A bullet would have to actually hit the ear for what you describe. But I guess you have a vested interest in not at least trying to understand this.
  You understand that the space-time we inhabit, or at least I do, has a very high resolution? The bullet can be any distance at all from the ear as it flies by.
  Is this clear?
- He probably wasn't even hit by that. Blood capsules are cheap, probably a trick he learned from his work with the WWE.
It's usually the most vile beings that get to live their life to the fullest...
- I don't think that's necessarily true. I've had the great joy to know a few exceptionally content people through the years, and while they might not be yucking it up on a yacht somewhere, I also get the distinct impression that they're all around happier and more at peace than the likes of Musk and Trump are. Folks have raised the hypothesis that the ultra-wealthy are just hoarders but wealth instead of trash, hoping that maybe just this next billion will finally bring them contentment, and it never does. I've come to suspect that that hypothesis holds at least some water.
- I don't want to start
  Any blasphemous rumours
  But I think that God
  Got a sick sense of humour
  And when I die
  I expect to find him laughing

and this is why we aim for centre mass
- Yep. Even if Donald has been wearing body armor, I'm not sure his 78 year old probably on blood thinners ass would've been able to take it.
- Yea, if that kid would have gone to any form of military basic training MAGA would be gone now. Hell, they may have moved on and become a normal republican populist movement that hated businesses and banks (as the historic norm).
  The Tea Party (2008-2009ish) was the first modern populist movement to get mass mind controlled by big money. People were losing their houses in the mortgage crisis, and people were duped into rallying against a mortgage relief program.
  The entire relief program was proposed at 700 billion, with 46 billion for mortgage relief ... but republicans got steered and focused at the mortgage relief portion and the Tea Party formed.
I honestly don't think the gun was ever aimed at Trump. His "wound" was gone basically overnight.
- Meh. Occam's razor applies here, I think. The head is highly vascular, and even small injuries can produce a visually stunning amount of blood. I don't think it was a fake or a conspiracy; sometimes shit just happens.
- People behind him were killed. The guy just missed.
Iirc, back when it happened, there were people from his highschool target shooting team that said he didn't make the team because he wasn't a good shot.
- I rewatched the broadcast to confirm, Trump absolutely inadvertently stepped out of the shot right as the shooter pulled the trigger. Trump went from standing with a hand on the podium, to leaning forward on it as he turned his head to his right.
  The shooter brought a laser rangefinder which suggests he was aware of at least basic marksmanship fundamentals like bullet drop from gravity. He also had an AR-15, with a red dot and was laying prone with no visual barriers between him and the dais where Trump was about 130 yards away. Even a budget AR shooting basic af ammo can expect to shoot a 4 inch circle at that distance- plenty enough for a headshot.
  Trump survived through dumb luck.
- I used to participate in International Defensive Pistol Association competitions. I was, honestly, terrible. I'd routinely mangle or just do an overall uninspiring job of the up close shots, and I was hardly as smooth and quick as anyone else there. I just didn't have the money to burn through ammo and time at the range like other folks did. One time, we were doing a series of targets at thirty feet and the spirit came over me and I double tapped two of them right in the jugular notch as smooth as you like. Won't claim it as an achievement because I can't even remotely come close to reproducing it, I'm still not that good of a shot, and I wouldn't have believed I was going to do it if you'd told me ahead of time. I can't explain why or how I did it, just, idk, rolled a twenty that time I guess.
Why do you think police are trained to aim center mass
While and head shot is more fatal. He would have been able to land multiple chest shots at that distance. A bullet to the heart would end him, and multiple shots would be difficult to survive.
People forget what a big person Trump is.

God: Obviously I'm not able to stop the gunman from becoming insane and buying a ranged hypodermic lethal injection device, he's way too powerful for me, but maybe I can use what little power I actually possess to slightly nudge this bullet away from a man who is objectively awful and into a man who saves lives for a living. Yeah, I'll do that.

Christofascists: SCORE!

Don't forget, the volunteer firefighter was MAGA, so...

There's no God, if there was the bullet would have hit Trump in the face. But just like Hitler he evaded every attempt on his life. Honestly, the resemblance with Hitler is insane. Doesn't drink alcohol, has weird hair, spreads hate and fear, targets minorities, sends them to a concentration camp across the border, targets judges, media and politicians opposing him. Only difference is that Hitler actually improved the German economy, something Trump fails misseably at.

I'm honestly not sure that Trump's death would have been the best thing for the world.
Hear me out.
If Trump were assassinated, he would have become a martyr - and it would have been easy to paint the Left as the culprits, thus obliterating any chance of winning the upcoming election, and more. But it wouldn't have been Trump who won the presidency - it would have been someone more capable and more subtle.
Trump is laying such waste to the government that he's quickly turning people against him - and his vanity and incompetence are undermining his own party's efforts to secure their power. As long as we survive the current attacks on democracy - which is, admittedly, a big if - then he may have utterly destroyed the power base for the GOP for a long time to come. A destruction that wouldn't have happened if someone with their sanity intact had landed the office.
We're going to suffer in the meantime, but at least we have a chance to turn it around - a chance that may not have happened if Trump had eaten that bullet.
- No, we had our chance to turn it around, after 2020.
  We boofed it by not throwing Trump and any loyalists in prison for treason.
- If trump would have died, JD Vance wouldn't be 2nd in command. When he dies now, JD gets the throne and he's a lot worse.
  People were done with Trump during and after his first term. Even Fox. But people forgot his shitshow within a few years.
  He might have become a martyr, but remember he was shot by a republican. So the damages wouldn't be as big as when it would have been a democrat, or an immigrant.
  Political assassination is almost always bad, but there are a few cases where it actually would be beneficial. Like with Hitler for example. Trump is Hitler the second, so I believe it wouldn't be that bad when he would go. Except for now, because JD is Hitler on steroids. So please, Donny, don't die for the next 4 years.
- This is wishful thinking. Democrats are still unwilling to change many of their policies that got them into this mess. People voted against the status quo in 2024, and Democrats are still trying to offer people a return to pre-Trump.
  It's possible that Trump will turn people off enough that they vote for someone else, but if the US survives this term I feel like Americans will just view it with the same unreality with which they apparently regarded January 6th. Trump is weirdly slippery and none of his outrageous, glaring faults hurt him. He will have to utterly destroy things for people to decide he's a problem at this point.
He was MAGA, but he still saved people because that was his job at least.
- But hurting and killing people with his vote

Saving the anti-christ. Their invisible space monkey is so awesome.

With God so withered, no wonder the world's in the state it's in.

This is like the tee-up to an infomercial targeted at Jesus
- Cue black and white clips of Yahweh failing at basic tasks
- Billy Mays did pass into the Great Beyond, after all...that guy could sell some As Seen on TV omnipotence to a whole pantheon of deities, I'm sure of it.

computer, zoom in and enhance

woke socialist antifa parasite

I don't know about God, but clearly there is some kind of Demiurge at play. Because how the fuck else do you explain Donald Trump's plot armor? At this point if this were a series and it wasn't meant to be a goofball comedy about an inept politician, I'd call bullshit.

Just remember. Life is the opposite of a tv show. You could hop on your bike on a beautiful spring day, be waving at your neighbors while you hear "It's a beautiful day and I can't stop myself from smiling" in an area that has never done anything but that. Then some Americans come blasting and it's no longer a feel good musical.

that is some ai shit on top of it

The only giveaway is the weird looking bullet tho
- Fuck you're right, I didn't even notice it still has the f'n shell on it
  I was more looking at the glitchy nonsensical brush strokes

I would expect nothing less from a god who sells power ups for the low cost of human sacrificing your daughter.

I know we would have someone more capable of implementing the hateful, bigoted policies that the right has to offer if Trump was assassinated. But man, I’d be watching that video and rejoicing in his public execution, every fucking day.

So god is a cunt. Why should I worship it again?

Proof that God hates America

Everyone knows a crossroads demons made a deal with his supporters

The pigglets roll in their own > shit so of cource their AI slop get them going. Their stupidity is a choice...

So god guided the bullet away from a criminal and allowed a bystander be killed as a result?
