    A great idea. Then, when you have to spend four donalds for a carton of eggs you’ll remember why voting for con-men is a bad idea.

    President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family," Gill told Fox News Digital. "Instead, he took a bullet for this country and is now working overtime…

    1. Wasn’t he golfing yesterday?
    2. We all know he hates his family and is happy to avoid them.
    3. “Took a bullet” is akin to me saying I was stabbed in the face by a deranged idiot when I cut myself shaving.
    4. Working overtime at what exactly? Are his tiny chode fingers getting tired from signing a few bits of paper?

      Didn’t the bullet go through his ear and kill a firefighter?

        Bullet never touched him. The blood was splatter. He wore a bandage for 2 days for show. When it came off there was not a scratch.

          I work at a hospital and have worked with hundreds of patients around his age. When you’re that old, your skin is like paper thin and tears extremely easy. I’ve slid patients from one bed to another and tore skin. Donald Trump was tackled by secret service. Maybe it was his blood but I highly doubt he took a bullet or any shrapnel from glass or anything else.

            Yeah… I’m willing to buy that he had immediate, top grade treatment, I’m willing to accept that the bullet barely grazed him and it bled a lot

            But I’m not willing to believe he healed that fast or that perfectly. There’s no notch from any angle, no scab, nothing - just a few days later there was no sign of it. And he was milking it for all he had… And yet, aside from that blood on the scene, all we ever saw was comically oversized bandages, then normal ones during more serious meetings, then nothing

          Conspiracy theories don’t help. Especially since there was a photo with the bullet mid flight.

            I thought it was widely accepted that the bullet itself didn’t him hit, it was shrapnel from the poidum

              It was questioned in July. Just because it was widely accepted in your furry discord server doesn’t mean that it’s widely accepted generally

          It grazed his ear, ears apparently bleed a hell of a lot. I knew that from my injuries but that was a good amount of blood from just a little nick. And old people bleed like crazy, thin skin.

    “President Trump could be enjoying his golden years golfing and spending time with his family,” Gill told Fox News Digital. “Instead, he took a bullet for this country and is now working overtime to secure our border, fix our uneven trade relationship with the rest of the world, make America energy independent again, and put America first by ending useless foreign aid.”

    I can’t I give up. I’m Canadian and America is fucked. There are no policies, no plans to make projects or fix problems. It’s all a campaign and political points. This is just pure trash satire at this point. URGH

        It was much earlier.

        In 2010, a christian fundamentalist on youtube started to overanalyse Lady Gaga MVs, then moved onto other artists and eventually other media. He was pretty much the forerunner of those wokespotters (except not even SJW was a snarl word at that point), and yes eventually he dabbled into racism too, but he was also openly “not antisemitic” (he loved the sinner and hated the sin). When he first posted his videos, people, including me, thought it was a satire of conspiracy theorists. He was dead serious. I remember him nuking his old videos and making more sane sounding ones once gamergate hit mainstream, even backpedalling on his earlier analysises pointing out Freemasonry symbols and David Stars in media.

    This was absolutely on my 2025 bingo card along with plans for a new face on Mount Rushmore and a mountain, river, or national park being named after him.

      What this guy said^^ focus on the real issues and watch out for the other sleight of hand cause in the end that’s all it is. They want us bickering with each other while closed door deals are being finalized

        Yeah, they’ve been pretty explicit in wanting to “flood the zone” with new shit everyday to annoy and outrage us, and so that the media doesn’t have enough time to cover in depth what’s really going on.

        All of this stuff like “Gulf of America”, “Red White and Blueland”, adding Trump’s face to Mt. Rushmore, putting Trump’s face on the $100, etc. It’s all a bunch of look-at-the-birdy bullshit.

    Man, these bootlickers are so pathetic. The lengths they go to to kiss his ass would be cringe even if it was towards an actual great person. The fact that it’s directed at this hateful, disgusting man is the saddest thing…

    It’s getting harder and harder to distinguish NTO headlines from the rest. That’s how stupid this motherfucker is. Every Trump headline could be posted here unironically.

    I thought only deceased people with a positive influence on society could end up on money. The latter requirement will never happen, and the way he acts many will think it’s about time the met the first requirment.

      Sadly that changed with the Presidential Quarters. They minted them as legal tender for all presidents up to the then current president George W. Bush.

      Yeah when I was 20, $100 was grocery money for the month. Now it’s groceries for 3-4 days. It doesn’t help that I always have a house full of teenagers.

    That’s fair. It will be used a lot, as it is about the price of a box of eggs at the end of this year.
