You don’t even need to believe it was planned by anyone else. It’s just not that insane that a MAGA person would attempt to shoot Trump.

1. the is the obvious assumption so perhaps it was an attempt at a false flag. Kill Trump, someone succeeds him, gains his supporters and the support of those who think the left did it.

2. he supported Trump until… Pick your poison. Epstein revelations. Some other policy position that he waffled on.

3. so mentally ill he backed Trump but then did this in some sort of fugue state. “Trump has been replaced by aliens. If I shoot the guy pretending to be him the ruse will be over and I will have saved the country!”

Off the top of my head.

I guess the avoided re printing menus? But that doesn’t the same to the customer.

That’s the joke

Go watch Andor

That’s what a projection is.

Just wait! They are cutting out the middle man!

Back in the 90s and aughts you could get pizza or Chinese delivered. Usually only at the cost of throwing a few singles for the driver. While it was probably exploitative of the drivers, it did not take 30% of the value of the meal and send it to a rich moron in Silicon Valley. It was not seen as super luxurious to get pizza delivered on a Friday night.

2019: you could buy a house if you never went to Starbucks!

2025: no one cares how much money you save working from home, get back to work, get back to the kitchen, deal with the tarrifs!

The fence? He is friends with the thief and the reader.

If I learned anything playing Risk, is that you are fucked if you are in the lead… And especially fucked if you go on an offensive.

Her popularity could conceivably tank.

The NYT article is specifically about Andor

It’s like a start up. Show up early and buy in on low stocks, work your ass off, retire at 40. I’d assume it’s something like that. Pick the best place to build your house, claim all the resources.

Or maybe he just wanted solitude.

Oh classic.

A security breach? This time of year? Localized entirely on my cell phone? SKINNNNER

Maybe Mexico should have invaded Texas after George Floyd.

Its shocking how so much Russia defending sounds just like the Bush excuses for Iraq. “Well we didn’t find weapons of mass destruction, but the leader was just really awful so we had to, right?”

Incorporating an HOA or a company making a retirement village is not really the same as Amazon or Monsanto funding some sort of handshake with the state government to make some sort of lawless zone for them to take advantage of.

Don’t you need to give all your information to AI if you have ever interacted with the government in the past?

We tried to resolve this with legislation and the right wing crazies killed it each time. It’s not like the average Democratic voter wants an undocumented underclass. The business interests do. And the GOP leadership gets to fund raise on the caravans.

Most Americans want a better life for these people. Step one isn’t to spend a trillion dollars to deport them all.
