    Does anyone else remember when the president’s age was a big topic? Suddenly Trump is the oldest candidate and just like that the media doesn’t talk about it anymore.

    Buttery emails are way more fun to cover than gravy seals.

    Pop quiz: without using google, what was the date of the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

    No peeking!

      You think you have a big gotcha here, but it was covered extensively when it happened. The google (or Bing in this case)(you don’t want us to do returns over 10 pages of results, including articles from:

      • NBC News (top result)
      • US News
      • AP News
      • Wikipedia
      • CNN
      • NY Times
      • LA Times (literally, coast to coast here)
      • NPR
      • Reuters
      • Fox News (of course…)
      • Politico

      Some of these sources wrote more than one article, with at least three by CNN and two by NPR.

      You might think none of us know that Trump came close to assassination on 2024-09-15, but did you know that Trump didn’t tell his secret service detail he was going to the golf course, so they didn’t do a perimeter sweep before he got out there? They only found the shooter because Trump was finishing up one hole and they rushed to the next and spotted the would-be assassin.

        Yeah I think it’s a big gotcha. The fact you didn’t know without using a search engine proves my point.

          This poster thinks I didn’t know. But how can it know that. I just pointed out that there were literally hundreds of articles, then correctly cited the date. It’s not making the point it thinks it’s making. The media covered both idiots that took the pot shots at the Trumpster Fire. To the tune of hundreds of articles.
