Has anyone else here mentioned...

[PCIntern]

that if this mentalist were so terrific, he could’ve predicted this entire sequence of events.

Just saying.

And if someone else here said this first, I humbly apologize.

1. I'm sure the mentalist, just like everyone else in the room, was a crisis actor who was in on the staged assassination

I’m pretty sure I read that here on DU somewhere…

2. Oz Pearlman was on stage performing a card trick when the incident took place.

Mentalists aren't what they used to be.

3. 1. It's entertainment.

2. He doesn't read minds for free.

3. He doesn't read minds at a distance or just act like a police scanner, going from mind to mind to mind, dozens per second. (And even then, what was the actual population of DC)?

Rather like saying that he must have been pro-Hamas because it didn't see 10-7. And what about when the PRC had evidence about COVID's transmissibility and onset but didn't share? And wouldn't it have been cool if he'd been able to say, a couple of years ago one fine June evening, "Hey, Biden, you're sick and have drug-induced side effects, reschedule!" Or tell the SPLC that maybe they should have disposed of some financial records a while back "by mistake" just as the DOJ was being pummeled by folk that wanted the SPLC taken down a notch?

4. jonathan karl said (on this week) oz was eye to eye with trump under the table

that trump was pushed down really hard, oz thought trump had been shot b/c of that, and then saw the fear (i think that's what karl said on the show this morning) or shock on trump's face & oz thought "we're all going to die"

i don't have a clip from jonathan talking to george s. about it

but here's the "trick" oz did just before the shots were fired

5. I predicted that he wouldn't predict it ahead of the event. Trust me, I did.

6. Oz was just a foil to point out Trump's brilliance. Trump is the GREATEST mentalist ever. INFALLIBLE in his predictions.

So he got a few names wrong.
People can change names.
