At this point, I want a tshirt that says, in a stylized font, "Finish. The. Job."

President pedophile had another attempt on his life in DC.

Strictly speaking, we don't know it was targeted at Trump, right? We just know that an armed guy tried to barge through security.

Is there any actual sources for that, except for social media posts citing each other?

Sure but why the feminine hygiene products?

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago

I think nothing specific, just revisiting the time when a bunch of sycophants wore gauze on their ear in solidarity after that other time.

After his ear got "knicked " his followers showed up to rallies with pads stuck to their ears to emulate his bandage. https://www.rawstory.com/republican-national-convention-2024/

This was after his followers were seen wearing diapers to his conventions.

I think tampons started off as bullet wound staunchers. Either way, they are made for soaking up blood.

I've chronic nosebleeds that just don't stop without intervention. (Last time I went to the ER for one they told me that a normal adult male has 16 units of blood and that, when I came in, I had 12. I passed out 3 or 4 times.)

Almost every time I've brought this up, someone has suggested stuffing a tampon up my nose. Every doctor who's ever seen me about nosebleeds has told me not to do that - not only do they not recommend letting noses bleed freely, but apparently tampons (unsurprisingly) expand as they collect blood, making them difficult to remove from nostrils.

Every time I've brought this up on Reddit or lemmy, I've been downvoted for saying it. I guess they make more sense for actual injuries, though.

I wonder if they are actually effective for a gunshot or stab wound, for example

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

They were not. But it is a bit of a laugh that it was a guy who invented them.

Note that it was likely staged, just like the other attempts.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 10 points 1 week ago

The tampon in the nose killed me

Nah, that's just his nightly sleep mask.

A friend of mine had some very close calls with her health a few years ago and was in the hospital for several months. Afterwards she started wearing this hat:

A. I feel like it would make all these close calls Trump has allegedly survived more believable if he started doing the same

B. I would just really like to see a picture of Trump in this hat with a tampon dangling from his nose.
