But these sheep can't wear masks? Give me a fucking break.

To be fair, they need the bandage just as much as trump does.

Like. A day or two after the attempt he was out golfing and didn't have a bandage or anything.

I think it was just a small nick and the blood thinners he's likely on just makes you bleed like crazy since they prevent clotting. A small scratch looks like a war wound, and would explain why there was blood everywhere but he still has a functional ear.

Like, if he really got shot in the ear, he'd be missing a part of his ear like in Preacher. It won't just heal back.

Dude got a scratch and is playing it up.

Trump is on blood thinners? Why?

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

...

He's in his late 70s, doesn't exercise, eats like shit, and is drastically overweight...

Like, it's one of those things that are just safe to assume. Blood thinners arent really that rare for people 30 years younger than either candidate.

Not a cult...

Don't they know a bandage on the right ear means you are gay?

Our species sucks.

As a nurse this bandage trump showed up with looks totally like it is for show only. I would bet real money, that no healthcare professional was near this bandage and it was probably a PR person who ~~sticked~~ stuck this on him.

Oh no! You exposed me as a non native English speaker. What will I do now?

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't worry plenty of native speakers would have written the same thing :P

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wouldn’t that make it correct?

[–] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not until webster chimes in.

And I'm not switching to "sticked", so you'll need to crowdsource your etymological inertia from others.

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Morphological dialectic momentum*

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee -2 points 1 year ago

Non-standard but still correct.

You think if the shooter hadn't missed they'd be removing their heads in solidarity?

[–] Seasm0ke@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

I think after the bandage comes off you're going to see accidental su*cides from people trying to copycat themselves

[–] Crampon@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Devils advocate for the heck of it. Gonna be submerged in bad rep for this.

This is comparative to people wearing "I can't breathe" signs after Floyd or waving a pride flag to show solidarity. You just give them shit because you do t agree with them.

Sure they are all fucking stupid for not seeing the obvious flaws in their idol. But giving them shit for a pretty rational way of showing support to their idol is not the right use of your energy.

You are participating in the fragmentation of your nation by pouring your hate into simple stuff like this.

For all I care go ahead. I'm European.

Laughing at idiots is never not the right use of my energy, thank you very much.

I'll feel guilty about it when it isn't fascists I'm fragmenting out of my country. If anything, I'm proud to make those fucks uncomfortable in my country.

FFS. They really are willing to eat his shit straight from his asshole.

[–] markon@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Bunch of pussies. I'll give Trump credit. He actually experienced it, they didn't.
