I thought this was the "My case got thrown out" news cycle? -- nm - LFG Jul 15, 12:17
just for the record (since the beltway press corp are such scrupulous chroniclers of presidential health records) did any doctor ever publicly confirm - hollywood big shot Jul 15, 11:43 13
- I've been wondering the same thing. My money's on "not a gunshot wound". -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jul 15, 11:55 10
  - I think it was, but I think it barely grazed him (like no significant (or likely noticeable) damage. -- nm - pmb Jul 15, 12:04 9
    - this has to be the dumbest frikkin non-story of the week. -- nm - mud Jul 15, 12:31
    - to be fair, if a bullet wizzed past MY ear and grazed me, or not, (so inches from my brain), i would take that pretty seriously. -- nm* - Andie Jul 15, 12:17 3
      - You mean, you wouldn't jump up pump your fist for the cameras? -- nm - Turd Ferguson Jul 15, 12:19 1
        
        i would not, i would keep my head DOWN like i was being told to do. -- nm - Andie Jul 15, 12:22
      - More like the SS would take it VERY seriously. -- nm - LFG Jul 15, 12:18
    - It's a matter of semantics anyway. Someone did shoot bullets at his head. -- nm - David Jul 15, 12:16 3
      - For sure. -- nm - pmb Jul 15, 12:21
      - when Reagan was actually shot in 1981 his WH lied their little asses off to hide just how close he came to dying on the OR table -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 15, 12:19 1
        
        It's the whole "all hell breaks loose in one hour" of it all that makes me think he was never in danger of being shot. nm - Turd Ferguson Jul 15, 12:23
- umm .. -- (link) - mud Jul 15, 11:47 [Backboard] 1
  - that is not a medical report from his treating physician (I did see that somebody claimed to have done a CAT scan) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 15, 11:48
They nominate the VP in 2 days. Given the organization, it needs to happen now to give Vance time to figure out a speech that is intelligible. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 15, 11:38
I would imagine the chaos of nearly getting assassinated sped up the timeline. - David Jul 15, 11:33
It's a little surprising how little people actually care. -- nm - Reagen Jul 15, 11:31 10
- About 30% care. -- nm - LFG Jul 15, 12:31
- Yep—the collective shrug 🤷🏼 🤷‍♀️ 🤷‍♂️ from Americans on this, has been surprising -- nm - Trending Jul 15, 11:35 3
  - All it's done is taken "Biden is old!" off the headlines. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 15, 11:58
  - Getting shot in this country is pretty easy to do. -- nm - Qale Jul 15, 11:53 1
    - and yet . . . -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 15, 11:54
- i do care about the innocent bystanders that were shot. Not seeing much on them. -- nm - Andie Jul 15, 11:32 4
  - Sounds like another is not going to make it. -- nm - LFG Jul 15, 12:29
  - Exactly. There shouldn’t be any political events going on until after the victims funeral. -- nm - Loyola Jul 15, 11:42 1
    - lol have you met us? -- nm - Republicans Jul 15, 12:02
  - Speaker Johnson just said this is God's will -- nm - Jovian Jul 15, 11:40
