I have questions about what happened on July 13, 2024 in Butler County, PA.

Anyone else? Anyone else just not buy the official story on that event?

1. My first reaction was - false flag? Performative?

2. I think it was staged and lately I've seen more speculation about just that.

3. No. I think another insecure gunner looking for his 15-minutes saw trump was nearby and went with his rifle.

Lax security didn't stop him. I think the official story and investigative journalist reports from legitimate news sources pretty much agree. Of course, podcasters, etc., desperate for an audience always have another take.

But I guess it could be like the moon walk, it didn't happen and what we saw -- including the guy in the audience getting killed -- was all fake.

4. I think this one has been pretty well covered (both literally and figuratively)

Which does not preclude the fact that there will almost certainly still be people around bringing it up 30-40 years from now.

5. I've literally heard nothing about it since he got his photo op

What was the shooter's motive? It's been more than a year - any new info from Kash?

*crickets*

7. the world (along with the news cycle) has moved on

treaties to blow up - ships to blow up - economies to blow up ... You know, 'newsie' type stuff.

As far as the perpetrator's motivation .... Um - because he was a friggin' whack job .. ? Pretty much like all the rest .. ?

8. You base that on what exactly?

Sorry I’m not a CT person but there’s so much that smells here. A nearly successful assassination plot against a former/future president and no one, including Trump, talks about it after they got what they wanted out of it.

6. I have lots of questions

None of them meaningful.
