    Donald Trump took a bullet for democracy.

    No he fucking didn’t. He was grazed on a nonessential body part.

      The “for democracy” is the bit is that gets me. He’s a domestic enemy to our Constitution; and an immediate threat to democracy. He took a bullet for fascism.

        Trump didn’t take the bullet. The guy in the crowd who was killed by it took the bullet. Trump has never even given him a thought.

          They both took a bullet. One fatally. The dead Nazi peon and still-living Nazi leader serve the same anti-American cause, and it cost both of them some flesh.

      Just to be clear to the casual reader, it was a Republican Senator quoted as saying that:

      Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., wrote in a July 21 X post that “Joe Biden succumbed to a coup by Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Hollywood donors, ignoring millions of Democratic primary votes. Donald Trump took a bullet for democracy.”

      This is what you would have said if the bullet went into his skull and out the other end.
