I blame TV's Richard Karn, who played Al Borland on ABC's Home Improvement from 1991-1999.
See what I did there? I blamed whoever the fuck I wanted without any regard for the truth and it matches the viability of his claims. I should be running for fucking president.
You got that all wrong. It was Richard Crenna from First Blood.
It was Richard Cheese. Oh wa ah ah ah
You got your Dick Cheese, I got my hash pipe
Frankly, I find it extremely difficult to believe that this wasn’t staged using exactly that manner as an attempt to garner sympathy and rally people behind him.
And before anyone brings up the bystanders getting shot, yes, I’m fully aware. But if you don’t believe the government is willing to outright murder civilians as a coverup to achieve their goals, you are woefully ignorant.
I’m not saying that this was DEFINITELY staged, but it all seems way too convenient not to be.
EDIT: idk why this comment is under this thread. It was supposed to be a response to the “he clipped his ear WWE style” one
People who are like "but they wouldn't let one of their own die for something staged!"
These people let fucking millions of their own voters die during COVID in an attempt to own the libs.
People think Donald Trump gives a fuck about human life that isn't his? I've got a bridge to fucking sell them.
Wasn't the shooter republican and/or conservative?
Let's not get bogged down in facts
/s
The republican motto
Too bad the President is immune to prosecution, so there can't be any legal repercussions even if it was true.
if Biden/Harris were behind this 100% lawful act, i think it would have been Seal Team 6 on the roof.
Trump literally floated the idea that "second amendment people could do something about (his political opponents)" back in 2016.
As long as he's stating his theories, someone should bring up Melania and her supposed relationship with the Secret Service. I think unsubstantiated theories are valid in a world where "people are saying" is treated like fact.
People are saying he cut his own ear WWE style
Many people are saying that
The best people.
More and more
The ear healed miraculously. I doubt he even cut it. Most likely a blood packet in his hand. When he put his hand up to his ear, he popped it.
Ear wounds bleed spectacularly. They are also quite easy to fix cleanly, with appropriate care. A small wound would create plenty of blood, but be effectively invisible after a bit of work from a plastic surgeon.
Let's face it, which is more likely? A shooter just missed, or Trump had the coordination to play act, without it looking like a 5 year old's "my first magic act", and then not brag about it?
He did brag about it. He literally put himself in harms way again within seconds with absurd fist pumping and yelling "Fight! Fight! Fight!" He wore a giant fucking diaper on his ear throughout the whole RNC.
Sorry this bitch is close friends with Vince McMahon and the farther we get away from the event the more weird shit that comes out about it, the more reason I have to be fucking skeptical of a guy whose entire fucking life is kayfabe.
I had a tiny fucking zit on my ear and it took a fucking month to heal properly.
I saw the tiny razorblade in his tiny hand
In other news, the GOP presidential candidate went on Dr Phil. Cash me outside!
Dr Phil is still on tv? I’m genuinely surprised
Look at his guests. Daytime TV is abysmal.
It's because of Biden and Harrises VIOLENT RHETORIC! If they weren't so VIOLENT it would have NEVER HAPPENED! Now GET READY FOR A BLOODBATH MY FELLOW REPUBLICANS! DEMOCRATS want your GUNS!
Kind of weird that no one is mentioning that if the President wants you dead he has better options than a teenager with mediocre aim.
Also, he can literally just walk up to you and shoot you in the head legally, so.
Because it has nothing to do with your lying, traitorous, racist, rapey authoritarian ass.
that was only a month ago? I need to unplug.
As long as you still vote in November, then it's healthy to take breaks from this firehouse of crazy.
I had wondered how long it would take him to grasp at this particular straw.
Surprised it took him this long to blame Biden and Harris. Pretty sure all the MAGAs had already shipped this stupid conspiracy to Mars and back. Their Mango Messiah needs to get with the program.
Probably just waiting for a lull in the headlines to pinch out this particular turd.
Thanks, Obama.
I'll go ahead and blame who is responsible for it. Dementia DonOLD the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies. He has done nothing but spew hate and fear and one of his own took shots at him. 100% on him.
is this slander? is this defamation? is this weird?
I am shocked, SHOCKED, that this took so long.
Guys, I’m starting to wonder if this trump fella is all there, y’know?
