Thank you for this blast of sanity (especially on the gross misuse of the word 'martyr').

Excellent piece, Mic; the hype from the MSM is bloviating piffle yet I think that photo will win him the election. Biden’s got a bloody great mountain to climb.

Good to read you again, Mic - really good piece.

Hope you’re coping ok - have lived with life-altering pain of one kind; I wish you well with it and hope it improves.

Great piece Mic.

You wrote a similar piece about Boris Johnson if I remember rightly; pointing out that the media-created version of Johnson didn't actually exist.

Seems they're eager to do the same thing again.

Picture > a thousand words.

Unfortunate doesn't cover it.

Great read, don't forget his family got Trumps Vietnam draft, cancelled, that not doing your duty.

Blood running down DT's face? Are we both looking at the same photo? There are two small streaks. When my brother cut his head - basically a shallow cut an inch long - he was drenched in blood, including his white shirt.

Well, yes. I had a cut on my forehead once and I was covered but that photo only catches a moment.

Isn't there another one, taken later when he'd arrived at the car? He's still oddly clean and tidy. One suggestion has been that it was glass from the teleprompter.

I'm not accusing you of saying that the blood was running, but commenting on the journalist (?) you quoted. People were shot at, and one person died - yet, commentators from the Right somehow feel the need to make stuff up; the same people who laughed at Nancy Pelosi's 82 year old husband being beaten with a hammer.
