    Yeah, the internet has really helped build the conspiracy industry. I was always a new junkie - but now everyone is. On social media this past year I've seen a lot more fake stories - whether showing police behaving badly or some redemption story.

    To his credit, Tucker has hit some real issues on occasion - but he has also undermined his credibility with some of the goofy rabbit holes he's gone down - e.g. his fear mongering that we only had a 30 day supply of diesel fuel. Admittedly, no news or commentary person will always be right - but there have been times where a 5 minute Google search would save the world from a fair amount of angst.

      As a professional viewer of Internet videos, I can tell you it was not staged, trumps reaction was too realistic and authentic. That being said, I’m pretty confident the bullet didn’t actually strike his ear. The blood was from an impact with secret service during the tackling .

      Why are you confident about that?

        I'm generally comfortable taking the mainstream view of most "controversial" topics where conspiracy theorizing abounds. One exception that comes to mind is COVID lab leak, which, according to the mainstream, is a conspiracy theory (see its wiki article), but which I'm confident has real evidence to support it. Not to the level of proof, but certainly reaches the level of doubt of zoonotic origin.

        Also it's obvious nonsense that the earth is round.

            Am confident that Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump and acted entirely alone and under the radar until he pulled the trigger. At the same time however it’s not a recent event I am all that interested in pursuing further.

            The only thing that has struck me about the incident is how quiet the mainstream is about Crooks, his family and their life now. I recall how Marina Oswald figured prominently in the press for years following JFK’s assassination. Even Squeaky Fromm and Hinckley had more press following their attempts. Crooks and his family however have just seemed to fade away into obscurity. Perhaps that’s how it should be, I don’t know.

              He's right. It's an oblate spheroid.

              I was only joking

                I wonder how much of that is just because he was shot dead? No trial, no statements to the press, no scenes of his mother pleading for mercy, etc.

                  Quite possible. Family and friends gave nothing to sensationalize.

                  For all we know the mother and father could have left the country or on the witness protection program to keep them safe from conspiracy and revenge nutters with guns.

                    Mostly because you can see when his ear strikes an officer's gun/holster (IIRC) plus soon after his ear has no visible damage from it, which is remarkable if it had been shot (even nicked enough to bleed all over like that). He also holds his ear at first then moves his hand which had no blood on it but perhaps the blood didn't have time to start flowing yet, which I can see. Plus honestly, Trump likes saying "I was shot".

                    All of that being said, it is incredible that had Trump not turned his head in that split second, we would've had a 4K assassination on video.

                      Still confused. Why would you think he almost got shot in the head, if you don't think he was shot in the ear? If he didn't get shot in the ear, then there's no reason to think a head turn would have made a difference. Anyway, not to be pedantic. It's the first theory I've heard against him getting shot in the ear.
