  • Cannon has shown herself to be inept enough in her position before; I could see her ‘accidentally’ messing up and needing a mistrial.

    Or could take it even crazier and have him go to prison and quietly squirrel him away somewhere under a new name. (Even better if he were to “die” in some method where his remains wouldn’t be pristine so as to make it easier to falsify its identity.)

    Ugh. Typing that made me feel like I’m making arguments to treat this seriously; feels gross. I don’t understand how people can genuinely believe conspiracy theories; if you pull at any one of the loose threads, the whole theory falls apart. My 5% has decreased. 😂


  • (Don’t take this seriously. Or do; I’m not sure it would make a difference in all the insanity in the world.)

    The conspiracy theorist in me says he’ll disappear into the woodwork and, effectively, go free because it was a false flag.

    My ‘reasoning’:

    • Trump wasn’t in the guy’s line of sight.

    • The guy didn’t shoot.

    • When it happened, wasn’t Trump having some struggles with his publicity? I forget the details, but I wanna say he wasn’t getting as much attention at the time.

    • Trump didn’t get much lasting attention from the first attempt, and it certainly didn’t cause the country to rally against around him. Why not stage a second one to gain sympathy?

    Again, I’m only maybe 5% serious here but, if the other side gets to have their insane conspiracies, I think it’s okay for me to have this one.

    Edit to correct me using the opposite word I meant.

    There’s no “trading” of insults and the article didn’t even provide any examples of insults Harris may have made. Sure had plenty from Trump, though.

    This type of reporting drives me insane and it’s always these news sites that don’t allow comments to point out their obvious bias.
