I intend to avoid walking 5th Ave, and advise you to avoid it too.

  And your death would remain a mystery as, according to Trump’s attorneys’ interpretation of the law (subject to whatever the best outcome for Trump would be), the crime could not be investigated, much less become an indictable offense for the president.
  
  Then we could look forward to Jay Sekulow explain to senators that Trump is the true victim here. In the course of exercising his lawful powers as president, not to mention his second amendment rights, you failed to get out of the way of the bullet. Shame on you!

  Orwell is the writer for the times:
  
  Trump said he was told troops "had headaches" from the Iranian attack – not "serious." Asked if he doesn't consider potential brain injuries serious: "No, I don't consider them very serious injuries relative to other injuries that I've seen," as with people without limbs.

  34 US service members diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries after Iranian missile strike
  
  The Pentagon and President Donald Trump had initially said no service members were injured or killed in the January 8 Iranian missile attack, which was retaliation for the January 2 US drone strike that killed a top Iranian general.

    headaches.
    Not like it’s something that really injures like bone spurs.
