If he were taken alive I could almost hear him utter "I'm a patsy". But the interested parties wouldn't want that.

So you think a conspiracy assassin would MISS the target? Not credible.

It will be interesting what is uncovered on this guy. If there are any connections at all to the deep state - any kind of liaisons discovered in his past, look out. But, my current guess is it's just another AR-15 nutjob shooter. But it's only been a day so we'll see. There will be plenty of conspiracy theories. The election though, pretty much over as soon as Trump did that fist pump to the rally and to the rest of us who watched afterwards. Compare that to Genocide Joe Biden's dementia patient routines - and well, yeah.

Based on his age I'd say he's just totally filled with TDS and it rot his brain. Everybody around him knew it and he would be encouraged by the interested parties to make the next step, without anyone being directly involved. Just steer the fool and allow him to make the move.

Somewhat similar to the guy who shot Fico of Slovakia. Only that one was much older. Just proving the age does not equal wisdom.

Yes. So those doing the steering - any connections to deep state? Will obviously be investigated now for the next two decades.

The "deep state" actors are the negligent Secret Service security detail, you moron.

Hey fish face, who asked you? The question here is whether the deep state may have been involved prior to the shooting. Obviously the security detail failed in its duty. Which I brought up in my comment - asshole. So Fuck off.

Or more. Depending on what happens next. They still wait for everyone related to JFK assassination to safely go away.

This all conjecture at this point. All guesses by both of us. So called "critical thinking" can only go so far here. Even if you're Chomsky being interviewed by Amy Goodman.

jamenta, A fist pump and a face contorted with hatred, ordering people to fight their own - is that what it takes for the American people to vote for a president?!

I do not like Trump. I think he is a scamster and a con artist and a warmonger and a phony populist, among other things. But he was very clever with the fist pump, right after being shot at - because many people will see that as a show of strength, and it will work very well against a POTUS who refuses to resign because of his obvious dementia. Juxtapose someone who is clearly being selfish for his own aggrandizement, to a person who appears to have heroically survived an assassination attempt. It's all about the optics and the perception. And IMO, it's all over for Genocide Joe. Unless they find some other way to make Trump disappear, it's all she wrote.
