NOT_RICK , in Donald Trump lays blame for assassination attempt on Biden and Harris

Dr Phil is still on tv? I’m genuinely surprised

Marthirial ,

Look at his guests. Daytime TV is abysmal.

PotatoesFall , in Tesla erases history, silently removes key climate manifesto written by Elon Musk

He only wrote that to improve image and sales. He still knows it’s the right thing, but he never cared about that.

Remember when Elon started leaning into being an internet sensation and memelord? I think that’s when his campaign for more power started. Economic power is no longer enough.

His interview with Trump shows nothing less than Elon trying to get himself in good standing with the MAGA crowd. I guess he decided that conservative and reactionary politics are best for amassing power.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Elon runs for president or some other influential position once Trump is gone. He clearly wants to be perceived as a younger, smarter, more moderate Trump.

likely wants to be appointed dicktator after trump chokes on his last cheeseburger.

CitizenKong ,

Thankfully, he can’t run for president. And he’s doing the exact same thing as Trump who even said publicly that he would become a Republican because they are easier to grift.

prole ,

Thankfully, he can’t run for president

Oh my God, thank Christ.

ryrybang ,

The U.S. Constitution uses but does not define the phrase “natural born Citizen” and various opinions have been offered over time regarding its exact meaning.

Don’t be too sure. This particular SC might allow Elon to run because…reasons. And by reasons, I mean free chartered flights anywhere in the world, brand new RVs, and paying rent for justices’ mamas.

Freefall ,

Doesn’t have to, he can buy trump.

KyuubiNoKitsune ,

Yep. He has an interview in a movie called Racing Extinction, and it was watching that that made me realise he only cares about money, he didn’t do it to improve anything.

Zink ,

He only wrote that to improve image and sales.

Along this line of thought, what are the chances he’s being (more of) a right-wing chud in order to sell more of his stupid pickup truck?

Cosmicomical ,

Low. He’s a right wing chicken because of the tax cuts and all the other benefits the rich get from that party

Flocklesscrow ,

Almost all “altruism” and “philanthropy” is just whitewashing/ego stroking some Capitalist’s ill-begotten gains.

The NSSC already took the case and the Registration Deadline is October 11th. There’s plenty of time for them to make a ruling.

Call me when it's reporting a fuckin indictment, and when he doesn't want to go with the cops, someone slams him on the fuckin pavement and cuffs him. It's a goddamned military cemetery and they shoved the employee out of the way so they could disrespect the fuckin place and violate federal law.

Let's turn this into something that's in the fuckin news cycle. All kinds of weird bullshit becomes a big deal.

OopsAllTwix , in Donald Trump lays blame for assassination attempt on Biden and Harris

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.

DogPeePoo ,

People are saying he cut his own ear WWE style

zcd ,

Many people are saying that

Valmond ,

The best people.

homesweethomeMrL ,

More and more

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

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.

girlfreddy OP ,
@girlfreddy@lemmy.ca avatar

Tbh I’m not sure he has the dexterity to do even that.

DogPeePoo ,

“There was ketchup dripping down his ear…”

—Cassidy Hutchinson

cynar ,

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?

SnotFlickerman , (edited )
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

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.

KillingTimeItself ,

this actually isn’t true, the shooter was confirmed down by this point, and presumably he knew about it. Also within seconds is complete bullshit, it’s more like a minute, this stems from edited videos that republicans pretend aren’t edited.

But let’s be real, trump would’ve done this regardless of the danger for the photo OP, dudes a fucking narc.

rayyy ,

More like a piece of glass or some flying debris. Any kind of wound from a bullet traveling 2,900 FPS would exhibit some sort of hydro-static shock damage.

KillingTimeItself ,

the ear is incredibly fragile tissue, and can bleed quite profusely, i’m guessing he was just barely grazed.

I’ve also seen theories that he’s probably on blood thinners due to age, which would also make sense.

prole ,

xmunk , in Citing the Hyde Amendment, insurance refused to pay for federal employee's abortion, even when her life was at stake

People on here sometimes ask “how can progressives support Harris” and one of the reasons for me is because women will literally be murdered by the Trump administration in situations like this. We must reinstate sane abortion laws.

UnderpantsWeevil ,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

women will literally be murdered by the Trump administration in situations like this

They’re being murdered under the Biden administration in situations like this.

Democrats campaign on these positions, but we’re not seeing a serious effort to advance any legislation or replace any of these shitty judges.

The red states have free reign to terrorize their populations, while blue state leaders simply shrug and say “Guess you should have voted harder if you didn’t want to die”.

Go ahead and cheerlead Harris through November, but stop treating her as a panacea and heckling actual pro-choice activists for caring about the actual policies.

Democrats have always granted majority support to the Hyde Amendment, straight back to '76 when it was passed. They had repeated majority Congressional opportunities to pull it out - in '93 and '09 and '17 - and they didn’t do it then. Wtf, does anyone think the moldy reminants in the Senate are changing their tune now?

xmunk ,

I don’t disagree w.r.t. them dropping the fucking ball under Obama… but Democrats couldn’t solve it during Biden’s term, they haven’t had the power to actually get shit done… and it’s important to remember that if Harris is elected but Dems fail to capture the House and Senate they still can’t do shit outside of packing the Supreme Court. The GOP is a fucking wall on abortion and an ammendment is basically impossible - the best we could hope for in the short term is a federal law that restricts what states can do.

UnderpantsWeevil ,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

but Democrats couldn’t solve it during Biden’s term, they haven’t had the power to actually get shit done…

People will lose their fucking minds at the idea of a second Trump Presidency, because they fundamentally understand the powers of the executive branch are vast and nearly impossible to oppose. Many still remember the “Unitary Executive” Bush Era. More remember the police brutality and financial shenanigans unleashed under Trump.

But as soon as a Democrat gets into office, it seems like they forget all about how these powers exist. Hell - how these powers were granted by Democrats themselves under those Republican administrations. The Patriot Act, the FISA reauthorizations, the broad powers afforded to the FBI, the NSA, and the CIA to pursue enemies of the state, the ability to nationalize whole sectors of the economy with a swipe of the pen, the ability to prosecute through the dozens of federal attorney offices, the ability to set all sorts of regulatory standards on everything from Education to Health Care to Environmental Protection, the ability to spend money already allocated to these agencies and to hire and fire millions of federal employees…

The GOP is a fucking wall on abortion and an ammendment is basically impossible

Any hospital or clinic that accepts federal money for Medicare and Medicaid is subject to a litany of regulations via HHS. Biden’s secretaries can write up an absolute briar patch of rules and regulations that limit how these clinics report information to the state and lay down a host of liabilities for women in their care who suffer while pregnant.

If he really wants to go whole hog, he can send the national guard down to every Planned Parenthood in America and proclaim them open for business under the aegis of federal law. In the same way Eisenhower enforced de-segregation, Biden can enforce the right to an abortion.

These are the same tools that prior Republican administrations have used to restrict access to abortion. They’re comparable to techniques Republican state governors and legislators have used to limit legal access to private abortion clinics. They’re heavy handed, authoritarian, and they’re certainly going to create a slew of eye-popping headlines in the national media.

But that’s why Biden (and now Harris) won’t pull the trigger. Doing things means putting your political future on the line. Just saying “Maybe try voting harder next time” moves the onus to the people getting trampled by their state and local governments.

SeaJ ,

He will definitely make it worse but it is already happening. States that restrict abortion see significant increases in their maternal and infant mortality rates. Texas, which already had one of the worst maternal mortality rates in the country, saw it get worse by 20% after they restricted abortion.

NineMileTower , in Donald Trump lays blame for assassination attempt on Biden and Harris

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.

OopsAllTwix ,

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

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

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.

kent_eh , (edited )

Do you really think Trump would allow someone, especially someone who isn’t a skilled sharpshooter, to shoot live ammunition that close to his head?

He may be crazy, but he’s not that crazy.
