    A lot of people are saying Trump sent the hit. Is it a joke or do you actually think he might’ve?

      I think if you look at everything that his administration is doing, I definitely believe that they are trying to stir up enough shit to get people to lash out, and then they will declare martial law and then we will effectively have a new monarchy in the USA.

      Do I really think that Trump would have someone killed just to change the national conversation? Of course he would, without any problem. However, I don’t think Trump had him killed mostly because I don’t think Trump is running the show. When I compare his first administration to his second, they are clearly not being run by the same people.

      Trump is also obviously as bad off as Biden was at the end. He’s a zombie puppet that gets dragged out for show.

        Not only that, but the embarrassment that was the birthday letter probably drove him to want to get attention off it as quickly as possible.

        Also Trump is dying. He wants to cause as much hell as he can before he goes. The shitstorm this has done is really bad.

      Its a half-joke.

      Kinda like “Bush did 9/11”, it’s possible, nothing is really out of the realm of possibility, but sometimes life just happens, you talk shit too much for too long and someone will have a problem with you.

      I’m not saying they aren’t capable of a a False Flag hit, after all they already did it once with the assassination hoax. I just doubt they’d hit their most successful and popular recruiter/indoctrinator. They really missed that position after Limbaugh assumed room temperature, and it looked like Ben Shapiro would be the one, then CK rose and took the spot. He was extremely valuable to the MAGA mission, and would have been for decades. Now they need to go to their bench and groom someone new.

      OTOH, apparently he was demanding the release of the Epstein Files, and someone of his influence could cause a lot of trouble. Sure, he recruits a lot of new conservative voters, but that’s not so important if you aren’t planning on having any more elections.

      So, maybe it was the MAGA Nazis, they certainly are capable of a lot worse. All I know is that whoever they arrest, and claims did it, is innocent, no matter what evidence they claim to have.
