What speed film was in that camera?
i doubt that any of the photographs we've seen was actually shot on film
a photographer that i follow on youtube did a video discussing several of the photographs that have been published...he said the metadata that he's seen from this photograph shows that it was shot at 1/8000 sec shutter speed, and didn't seem to think there was any reason to believe it was not legit...

Okay. I'll accept that and say I was wrong in my assumptions.

It isn't completely clear whether the photo above shows the bullet itself or, more likely, the bullet's vapor trail.
I didn't believe it either. That's why I Googled it. The photographer just recently switched from Nikon that he'd used for years to Sony because the tech was so much better.

Long after Trump had been whisked away to safety, Mills was going through his photos and sending them back to his editors at the Times.
He knew his photos had documented the moment that Trump was hit by a bullet — you could easily see, over a series of images, Trump grimacing and then reaching at his right ear.
But editor Jennifer Mosbrucker informed him that he had caught something else.
“Jen called me back five minutes later and said, ‘You won’t believe this,’ ” Mills said. “I thought I’d (messed) it up. That was my first thought. And she said, ‘There’s an actual picture of a bullet behind his head.’ I was like, ‘What?’ She goes, ‘You were at such a high shutter speed that it captured it.’ ”
She told Mills that an FBI ballistics specialist looked at the photo and called it a “one-in-a-million” shot.

quote:
Thanks to a screenshot showing the photo's Exif (Exchangeable image file format) data, we can see that Mills used a Sony A1 – which remains Sony's flagship mirrorless camera – and captured the photo at a 1/8000s shutter speed, which is the camera's maximum shutter speed when using the mechanical shutter.
To reach that speed, Mills had to shoot wide open at f/1.6 with a 24mm focal length. He also used multi-pattern metering (which decides the exposure based on the whole frame, as opposed to center or spot metering) and was naturally shooting in manual mode for maximum control.
quote:
As Mills explained: "I just happened to have my finger on the shutter and I heard the pops and just kept shooting. I didn't know what I'd captured, but when I got to my laptop, I can see that bullet flying behind his head, because it's definitely not in the frames right before it and it's not in afterwards – it's only that one frame. I was shooting at 1/8000s – it captured that streak behind him".
Anticipation and preparation are a key component of being a pro press photographer, as Mills added: "I've covered the President for 40-plus years and I always know which way they come on stage and which way they go off. The closest stairs were over to my right, so I ran over there and witnessed him being helped up to his feet".

To the fricking tards that think Trump set this up as if he were fricking Ozymandias from Watchmen that can catch a bullet, please explain how he’d gamble with this:
God had to have protected Trump here.

Better than being clueless and under 5’7” on knees sucking dicks for advancement, but regardless I guess now you are into body shaming and ignoring what a person identifies as.

By the way, here’s someone who hasn’t spoken who I’d like to hear from: Trump’s old buddy Howard Stern. Stern more than anyone increased Trump’s prestige in the media. He called in his show every week and was basically an honorary Wack Packer. Trump and Howard were so close that Howard sat Trump on the second row next to Robin at his wedding.
Has he not second guessed that his rhetoric almost got one of his former best friends killed? I know he hasn’t in well over a decade, but how about a little introspection there, Howard? Howard’s only friend left is Jimmy Kimmel and he’s completely destroyed his legacy.
In the end he became what he always despised. He became Don Imus.

Thanks. I'd like to say I remember it from school/ mass, but honestly it's from Jimmy Buffett's "Fruitcakes" CD.

SS had agreed to brief the House Oversight Committee then magically Homeland Security steps in and superseded all comms and has refused to agree to a briefing

Lincoln Project makes another Hitler ad. Of just outright evil and despicable figures, the Lincoln Project scumbags have to be at the very top.
As much as I hate Fauci and think he’s evil, I think he thinks that the risks of the evil he commits are worth the downhill rewards even if he’s flirting with the apocalypse. I think the Democrats think that their equity policies lead to actual equality, although they are wrong and will commit atrocities to achieve this utopia.
The Lincoln Project has no such delusions. They know that they’re evil and that they’re despicable liars, but they simply want to line their pockets and watch the world burn. frick these pedophile scumbags and mass child murderers. The reason they called it the Lincoln Project is because they want Trump to meet Lincoln’s fate:

No one uses film anymore. Modern cameras can absolutely catch a bullet in flight, or at least its vapor trail. Lots of luck to get it, but it’s possible.

They are former Republicans (some were Rep in name only like the shooter), and in some cases just hired guns including one strategist who became a Democrat in 2020 which is the opposite of being conservative and another who has stated, “…I have no moral center when it comes to political ads, and I will destroy the innocent and the guilty”. At least one other founder worked on Democratic Congressional campaigns long before Trump and with Lincoln Project got accused of offering professional services for sexual favors from other men after which the Lincoln project later labeled his behavior as predatory. Most can’t even support truly conservative actions by Trump as TDS has taken over their minds.
I think George Conway believes Trump fricked his wife or could have as up until 2018 he was considered for some positions within the administration and supportive. He then out of the blue starts bashing Trump publicly and later pushed his own daughter to go against her mother in public which the dems used not caring for welfare of the teen or the family. His own wife defended Trump putting Conway down in 2019 after his personal insults of Trump, and Conway reacted by helping to form the Lincoln project.
