I never agreed to what others have been saying I was just adding it for the sake of discourse. It’s just a circumstance where I see the mass media say one thing, but then the proverbial internet sleuths say something different especially when it comes to the identity of the shooter and their background. Political Assassination attempts don’t happen everyday. And the discourse surrounding everything between mis information and the facts is worth speaking about. Extraordinary circumstances and conspiracy aside. It’s just interesting seeing what’s came out within the last 24 hours. ---

Internet sleuths fingered Sunil Tripathi for the Boston Bombings, so you’re better off taking their opinions with a grain of salt rather than risking spreading misinformation. ---

Don’t count this out completely. There are other charges in other jurisdictions that Smith never filed, some assuming he was holding onto them for a situation like this. It might be over, but stay tuned. ---

I really thought the beard would do him in. Also, like, maybe, all the anti Trump stuff he said in the past, before he started kissing the ring. ---

Maybe Vance blaming Biden for Trump’s near assassination was what pushed him. Still, it’s weird he of all people were chosen as the pick after saying this: > **[Before He Was a VP Contender, J.D. Vance Suggested Trump’s Sexual Assault...](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/jd-vance-suggested-trumps-sexual-assault-accuser-was-telling-the-truth)** > > He also liked a tweet saying Trump committed “serial sexual assault.” If Trump wants a VP that would never stab him in the back, Vance isn’t it. He should have fallen back on family and pick Don Jr. or Ivanka; it’s not like it’ll cost him voters. My intrusive thoughts keep thinking about the other timeline where Trump did get assassinated. Logically, the Republican Party would just replace him, probably with Vance here, and use the ensuing rage to force their way into the White House. Even though Crooks is a Republican, they’ll probably accuse Biden of somehow assassinating him, which would be boosted with Trump silently being on a roll since the debate. There may be conspiracies that Republican Party insiders killed Trump to usurp him, but they could circumnavigate it by nominating Don Jr., who is basically an even more disgusting version of his scum father. The base would love him. Personally, Trump is a loathsome, despicable, irredeemable piece of shit who shouldn’t even be an option on the ballot today and should have been rotting in prison since Jan 6th. Crooks was a murdering cowardly terrorist who deserves no praise or commendation whatsoever for his crimes, but I wouldn’t shed a tear for that treasonous insurrection-inticing child rapist if his worthless brains were splattered over his teleprompter. > [@HerbGamer](#): > > So do I win a prize?

Trump doesn’t remember what JD Vance said about him in the past. He didn’t even remember the guy who interviewed him for hours. He’s so far gone into dementia and senility that he didn’t even know who Michael Cohen was when he was on the stand testifying against him, which is why he never had any kind of reaction or expression upon seeing and hearing him testify against him. Trump has no clue what Vance ever did before he started kissing his ass, because that’s all he needs to know. ---

In 2020 a Biden campaign bus was harassed and almost run off the road by Trump supporters. More recently in March Trump shared a video of a pickup truck with a decal on the back showing Biden hog tied and gagged. In 2016 Trump said the “2nd amendment people” might be the only way to stop Hillary appointing federal judges. Etc, etc, etc ---
