This might sound a bit conspiracy theory-ish... but...

The recent talk from Tucker regarding the next step for the orange one is assassination. And that it’ll be carried out by “establishment Washington” or the democrats or whatever. This talk sets a red flag off in my brain like when Epstein was found dead in his cell. It reeks. I have a feeling that the Republican Party can’t deal with him any longer. It feels like they are setting the stage to take him out themselves and blame it on dems. They are splintering. The party cannot survive with the orange one challenging the top office. He will lose it all for them and they know it. So looking for the silver lining, why not prime the public with dem conspiracies of assassination and then carry it out yourselves and blame the very same people who you said would do it to begin with? Then try a capitalize on the sympathy vote and renewed energy… Sounds like their M.O. all along!

Back in the day, I would never have imagined that a single person could support an offensive blowhard like TFG, so I'm willing to believe anything of these anti-American fear mongering traitors who are only desperate for power and have no interest in governing.

As soon as you debunk one theory, the sprout seven more like a hydra. Of course if he dies, no matter how, that will be spun up into red meat fear mongering magma.

If we play our cards right the oroborous eats itself and we stand by enjoying popcorn, waiting to pick up the pieces before it goes too far.

Right now the Republican Party has no path to victory without tfg. That’s the real problem.

By adoring fans commenting how he can't play golf, or laughing and ridiculing him while they video away. I think they are about to kick him to the curb. They have plenty of other terrible people they can run.

It's the damage to the putting green it can cause. Groundskeepers need both serious expertise and years of tending a course to get that flat, compact turf surface that golf needs to work right. Even one golf cart on the green in the wrong conditions can undo all of that hard work, and require weeks or even months to fix.

Now I'm no fan of golf, and I really despise the waste of land and water tof the courses. But it's still disgusting to undo that kind of work, all because you're too bloody lazy to walk a few meters.

The full story that Barr and McConnel hid will come out in trials.

Only one way to "stop the squeal'



Tucks is trying to cover it up in advance, but it's Vlad's play. I am thinking stairwell. Already successfully rehearsed.

From his base. They are the more volatile entity. You never know what could set one of them off into a violent rampage.

I also don't think Putin is all that upset about his asset being out of office. TFG still continues to serves Vlad's agenda just about as well as he did in office. Yeah, the destruction of NATO would have been hella great, but I think Vlad is smart and realistic enough to have a minimum standard of what he expects, which is the Dotard creating endless chaos and uncertainty for the US, at home and on the world stage, in or out of office. Weakening the US will do for him, and anything beyond that is gravy.

That if he's assassinated, a right-winger will be the culprit. If a liberal were going to do it, one would have tried it by now.
