Bullet vs Shrapnel

[LDAHL]

I’m not sure why there should be a kerfuffle over whether Trump had his ear cropped by a bullet or a piece of shrapnel. It seemed to make a big difference in some quarters, but I don’t see why it should matter that much one way or the other.

Right?

I know nothing of this controversy. I’m sure there are hundreds of threads going on all over the internet to dissect what happened on July 13.
someone wanted Trump dead. Actually, a whole segment of our population wanted him dead. It isn’t crazy to be looking at details of the event.

I wonder how long the Warren Report is, and it's still being discussed.

It’s just another chapter of ‘Trump doesn’t provide transparency… to anything. His health. His taxes. His plans if he wins election. Nothing’. If Biden or Harris had been straffed by a bullet or shard of glass the media would be breathlessly insisting on them providing details and wailing and gnashing their teeth if those details were not forthcoming. Trump, on the other hand, skates because the media is tired of trying and failing to hold him accountable for anything and has decided that it’s easier to shirk their responsibility to the public. I mean geez, the guy recently literally promised that if he wins one more election his supporters won’t need to vote ever again. And it barely caused a ripple in the news.

wait, you are saying this bullet vs shrapnel controversy is somehow the fault of Trump?

well you are nothing if not consistent.

Well, if he would release his medical records like every other president or candidate has in the last 50-60 years then yes, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. I mean for ****’s sake I still remember the ever-present reports of the damn polyps in Reagan’s colon that we all heard about after every damn colonoscopy. Or that hyperventilation that Obama, gasp, occasionally smoked cigarettes. That a presidential candidate can get away with anywhere near the level of nondisclosure that trumps does is unprecedented.

congratulations congratulations on joining frugal-one blowing up a non-issue into something that you both think is an issue. she thinks he wasn’t really shot. You think he was ❓ maybe shot?

[jp1]

I have no idea if he was shot. But he’s a president risk candidate so I would like to know. Because it kind of matters. Otherwise let’s stop asking questions about the health of presidential candidates. Or current presidents. Why are we so obsessed with biden’s health if none of this matters?we should all just shrug our shoulders and say ‘we’ll, there’s a vice president…’

[jp1]

Presidential. Not president risk.
