His insecurity-induced attack is pretty much confirmation that the bullet didn't touch him

Easy enough for him to prove it— just take the maxi pad off and show the public.

But now he has a bigger problem, eventually he has to make his lie match his purported ear damage.

Still needs a starlink antenna though.

Yeah, with how much blood there was, there's no way he's not missing part of his ear if a bullet hit it.

Just when I thought Trump finally suffers some kind of paltry consequence and he didn't even get shot. Reality sucks.

We got thrust into the stupidest timeline. Although the tacos are pretty decent.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If these are the tacos we get, imagine how awesome the other timeline's tacos must be!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The quality of the tacos is inversely tied to the quality of the timeline. The TNO timeline has some really fucking good tacos, but the one where Theodore Roosevelt shot Woodrow Wilson and won the presidency has fucking horrible tacos.

It's so insecure right? To anyone who is confident or reflective it wouldn't matter.

Wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't already have the whole storyline of Jesus personally coming down from the heavens to nudge poor ol' Trump's head out of the way so that we can witness the peace and prosperity of fascist rule under a convicted fraudster
