Not shooting at all would also have been $3.00 per gallon. Most likely.
SO close...
Except there is no way his ear really was scraped by a bullet. They didn’t even bother to produce a half-arsed scar on the earlobe to make the charade convincing.
Yep! All fake! Brave Donald Trump conspired to have a teenager fire an assault rifle at him from 350'. The teenager agreed to die by sniper fire. Biden's USSS, who he had purged of MAGA, and Trump was not in charge of, was in on it. The local cops were in on it. The NYT photographer who caught a pic of the bullet in flight was in on it. The dead guy behind Trump shot himself, as did the wounded folks, because they loved Trump so much. Trump pulled a masterful piece of acting where he looked utterly stunned when they picked him up. Biden's FBI confirmed Trump was fired on. We all know what masterful planning and execution Trump and his people are capable of, and they always keep their mouths shut, not a single leak! All this for a single-digit ratings bump that barely lasted a week. It's all very simple if you think about it.
OR, a teenager got past weak security, climbed onto a rooftop and shot his shot, missed and barely dinged Trump in the ear.
This is THE dumbest conspiracy theory I've ever heard. Used to be it was just morons on the right that were such complete fucking morons.
EDIT: Oh shit! Trump even paid off Snopes!

OK truther.
Literally, show the scar on his ear. Where is it? A part of his ear should have been blown off. What happened?
Or was it just a piece of glass from the screen that shattered, cutting his ear a little?
He actually does have a subtle scar; the helix has some bumps matching where the wound was. (Not the earlobe as mentioned in the original comment)
Also the teleprompter wasn't shot; that's just yet another easily disproven conspiracy-grade bs. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/glass-from-teleprompter/
Seriously, this is embarrassing, and so fucking pointless.
It was a bullet, we have a pic of it in flight. It barely dinged him and head wounds bleed like mad.
I sliced the side of my finger off, as in completely flat. Because of modern wound care there isn't a scar would would see in a pic and the flesh actually filled back far better than the ER doc said was possible.

Why would you go to hell for wishing a better world for basically everyone other than the ultra rich? Good meme but wrong community imo
Because the christian god is basically satan, kills people left and right, tortures you for eternity for the stupidest reasons etc.
Wasn't there a thing in the Bible about Satan seducing people to his side? What if that was what happened and God is Satan after all.
But also religion is fake.
So interestingly, Gnosticism is basically a take on Christianity that makes Satan the good guy in the story for exactly this reason. He's essentially just trying to get people to think for themselves and question this despotic creator. The forbidden fruit in the Bible is said to grant "the knowledge of good and evil" so why the fuck wouldn't you want that?
Because apparently, he would have just left them the fuck alone, to enjoy Eden.
Someone who puts up an apple that gives you enormous bonuses and forbids you to take it, but also allows you to do it just like that, will just add something else if you don't fall for it.
Actually, the banana will grant incredible sex, but it's forbidden too. As for the orange...
Jeez... it took me a minute to get this one.
I thought it was an old pic of an atom bomb explosion and couldn't puzzle it out.
My friend still doesn't get it (what a dummy amirite), I bet you could explain it to him really well
Ohhh, it's a top down diagram of where the Philadelphia assassin could have hit trump and where he seems to have.

I'm imagining gas price during JFK's presidency and during The Orange One's ""presidency""
$3/gallon in the early 60s would have been wild. I can’t imagine the average mpg was even 10
Still criminally low. $6/gallon is £1.18/litre. What are these mollycoddled fuckwits complaining about???
Going to vote today. That's a 12-mile round trip with no public transportation at the edge of town. How about you? Have a walk a couple of blocks?
Dunno what a block is, but if its less than a few miles bikes can do it easily.
The average American commutes 2× the distance than the average UK citizen. Plus there's rarely a public transit option. So for many this is a doubling of an expense that cannot be avoided.
Personally I don't see the point in arguing over who has the higher price when we could just be mad that one man caused a global crisis
Yanks also get paid more than people in most of the world though.
Not when we get fucked for Healthcare we don't.
I paid more in the US every 2 weeks for insurance and still had to pay higher prices at the doctor than I pay now for the entire month in Germany.
On paper the salary looks good. Then the hidden costs start
And that depends on your industry. Our upper and middle working class makes more, but the lower working class makes significantly less. Absolutely abysmal minimum wage
Wow you are so superior.
The UK could've had cheap gas as well, but the conservatives lied to their UK constituents and sold it off on the cheap. It seems like every time a conservative is elected into power they fuck the working class.
Until people have enough, elect people representing the workers, who fixes things (sort of) but then those conservatives always come back for second helpings.
"You could be rich too!" Vote for me (a conservative)!
Guess they have all their time in the world to fuck us up, while we are working.
The UK hasn't elected people who represent the workers since 1974
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_government,_1974%E2%80%931979
New Labour are just Tories with working class marketing. Conditions have continued to get worse for workers under New Labour, hence the recent push towards the Greens. Because they're the only major party taking an anti capitalist stance
Yeah it's not often, guess it was 1981 in france.
Gas is subsidized in the US, we pay the rest in taxes
It took me a minute, but it was definitely worth it.
That's what she said.
Thats not what a shard of teleprompter glass looks like.
:)
We have a pic of the bullet, which barely dinged him, in flight.
No, it wasn't cracked. Even Snopes has a damn article on this.

Perhaps I should have been more specific. I was thinking of this.
