      It wouldn’t surprise me if this was an inside job to distract from Trumps problems

        That was on my mind as well. Shooter had skills and has not been caught. Kirk was quite possibly a sacrificial distraction and may also conveniently provide further excuse to ratchet up authoritarian efforts. Not that they needed the latter, but still…

        I mean, that would be too conspiratorial (complex) to hide but it’s not impossible. Maybe the contents of those files are just that bad.

          On the forums right now, right wingers are frothing themselves up about the ‘left’ – but both attempts on Trump’s life were by people who fit much more neatly into the right-wing stereotype.

          Claiming to care about the Epstein files, and then radically changing direction to protect pedophiles may have been the trigger that got him shot by one of his fans.
