      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.

          …

          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.

        which is hilarious, because if you’re whining about someone “taking away your masculinity,” (OR if you’re having panic attacks about someone else’s masculinity) then you were never masculine in the first place.

      But remember, they hate being called sheep.

      Just a reminder, jd vance, trumps newest vp pick, has on many occasions been quoted in the past of saying “I didn’t vote for trump”, “I never liked trump”, and “I’m a never-trump guy”.

      NOW he sings trumps praises, and kisses trumps ass.

        vance is just another vapid muppet who’ll get thrown under the bus the instant shit goes sideways and trump needs someone to blame for…whatever. just like all the other used-to-be-never-trumpers who are now fighting over who gets to be first to be facialed by trump

        Vance literally called Trump “America’s Hitler” in a now deleted tweet.

        Also so many are Christian and say shit like “the lord is my shepard” in the same breath that they call other people “sheep.”

        No! And that’s why I decided the diapers were weirder. Those folks had to go out of their way to announce they were wearing diapers.

            I think it’s a bit different when the word has been totally abandoned for the previous use. I don’t know anyone who uses ‘lame’ or ‘dumb’ to refer to people with those disabilities. It’s practically an archaic meaning at this point. Gay is still most popular as a reference to sexuality.

            if straight women got bleeped when they said “dyke” I’d have a way easier time dating 🫠

            just run up to a hot gal with a fake microphone like “TRIVIA POP QUIZ WHAT’S THE WORD FOR ‘an embankment for holding back water’!?”

            “[bleep]?”
            “correct thank you ma’am have a nice day”

            “dyke?”
            “correct! question 2 are you single and/or dating?”

              “TRIVIA POP QUIZ WHAT’S THE WORD FOR ‘an embankment for holding back water’!?”

              “A levee??”
              “… touchè”

              I’m confused - does the microphone have gaydar screening and auto-bleep capabilities? I would describe that as much more than a fake microphone.

          I mean thank you, I remember I got banned from a group like 10 years ago because I said the forbidden F-word, they all knew I was pan and trans, but apparently my N-Word Pass expired?

          Can’t say the t-word either, I remember before it was a pejorative it was more like a cute nickname.

            original meaning: “waaaah I got trapped into thinking a person of the sex I’m not attracted to is hot and now my genitalia is making me feel weird!”

            new & improved meaning: this person dressed not as their assigned-birth-sex is so hot they could literally trap me Looney Tunes style by being distractingly attractive 😩

              I thought they meant the slur that’s also slang for a car’s transmission.

              Not the T-Word I meant, I think Trap is still an appropiate term for femboys in a purely sexual context. It’s only offensive when used as a term for transgirls… at least that’s what I’ve heard

              The word I was thinking of is six letter long
