That's surprisingly low. I don't know anyone who DOESN'T think it was staged, even those I talk to that are rightwing.

I think that the secret service agent that was shot, got shot by a different government agent that popped off blindly. I also think that about last summer's supposed attempt.

To make it look real, not everyone can be in on the plan. In fact very few can. Just enough to get the shooter into position. Everyone else plays their role.

Counterpoint, to quote, "baaaaaa."

I simply don't care.

Staged or real makes no difference to me. The fucker isn't dead, and he will use military violence to influence the elections. That was true before this and it is true after this.

Absolutely nothing changed.

Wake me up when a bullet goes through his skull.

That will be a sad day. A relief for sure, but we are overdue justice on this windbag and his cabal of cronies. I want to see them all get their day in court and punished to the fullest extent of the law.
