In reply to the discussion: Yes, the distinction between debris and bullet *is* important. [View all]ForgedCrank

looks like to anyone else is nitpicking and obsessing over irrelevant details.
Whether we like it or not, all that matters now is the picture, and it was a picture of a real event, a real assassination attempt, against a real candidate by someone with a real gun with real bullets. Denying it is just energy wasted. And frankly, the less we talk about it, the faster it goes away.

THIS: "My read: If the medical evaluation matched Trump's description, he would have OK'd its release."

I don't care what the F he was hit by and quite frankly had grown weary of the all the speculation by day two.
