that also makes you susceptible to confirmation bias.
“Don’t have expectations!”
No. I refuse. I expect people to piss and moan about every little silly thing as they destroy the world. I expect people to blame everyone but themselves as they realise their descendants are going to have to endure unliveable conditions. And then I expect the human race to dwindle and expire.
that is not at all the point. the point is to be aware of your expectations, really examine new evidence objectively, and make sure you’re not accepting it just because it feels good.
You’re not wrong. I do my best every day to assess information as it stands, and I am definitely skeptical of something I see reported in only one place. If it seems like it could be legitimate, I want to see additional and extensive reporting on it from multiple journalistic outlets.
I care very much about the alignment of what I believe and reality. I have watched a close friend devolve into conspiratorial thought (not politically, thankfully), come out of it, and then fall down again. I’ve been in that same kind of mental decline in my own past, but medication and conscious effort go a long way. It’s still work, every day, but it’s the kind of work I am happy to do.
I kinda disagree since they said “non-zero”. They’re not really making a claim, so I don’t really think they need evidence. Pretty much everything has a non-zero chance
A few cm to the right and he’d had hit his fucking skull. No way is he ever going to sign off on something so risky to his life. He’s a fucking coward, he wouldn’t stand still to get shot at.
Even someone incredibly brave would want the scenario to be much better controlled. A gun locked down to an immovable fixed point, a hard surface like a wall to lean against to calibrate the position of the head… but even then the margin of error is just too large.
I hate trump but i hate the conspiracy as well. You can’t expect me to believe someone training a 20yo to accurately aim a shot that glance past trump right ear, and then have him killed on the spot. that’s some elite sniper shit the american would love to hire into their rank and send off to invade other country.
I think there’s a non-zero probability that the whole thing was a set up to make himself a martyr.
I’m not going to believe that without evidence. However, if real, solid evidence of that scenario came to light, it would not surprise me one bit.
that also makes you susceptible to confirmation bias. remain vigilant and objective. not preaching to you specifically but everyone here.

I’m keeping my expectations.

Yeah, nah.

We all know how dumb he is.
But we can’t actually think he’s that dumb…

The purpose was to aim at the crowd, around Trump. The ear injury is self inflicted
Trump did get everyone to look away at a PowerPoint just before hand….
Just sayin
The theory is that Trump’s injury was faked.
