Set up
How fortunate was Trump that he head was turned to the right, so the shot clipped his ear. If he'd been facing the front it,in all likelihood, would have hit him side on.
Nah probs would only have grazed his syrup.Quote:

Please explain how a shooter with AR-style rifle takes that shot to deliberately only graze his ear.Quote:

Can see this escalating big time now though. Very worrying.
Not the first and won’t be the last bullet that Trump dodges
Farage on Sky
" Yes Donald Trump isn't perfect but some of the stuff said about him is appalling ! "
Are you taking the piss Farage ? Trump is totally disgraceful as a person and in what he says
He encouraged his nutty followers to storm government buildings and overturn democracy , the violence used by his crew was shocking
No wonder an equivalent lunatic has tried to take him out
Sebastian Gorka is on sky too , another absolute fruit cake
You are seriously calling someone else a political nutter🥱
You - the card carrying founding member of the political hate brigade. A man who hates anyone who perhaps chooses to vote for a party you don’t.
Crocodile Dundee managed it.Quote:

Some electronic billboard owner immediately put up a message that the Democrats had tried to assassinate Trump; another nutter told a reporter that Biden had paid the guy to do it.Quote:

What is needed is a rapid dialing down of the rhetoric and far more open minds and open ears to listen to different opinions without demonising them.
Well they like their guns.Quote:

It is universally acknowledged that they had some success with this tactic.Quote:

Tellingly, this would-be assassin made a $15 contribution to Act Blue, which is the major fundraising arm of the left.
I think his "Republican" identity is pretty threadbare.
Very lefty co worker 👷Quote:
