I have questions about what happened on July 13, 2024 in Butler County, PA.

Anyone else? Anyone else just not buy the official story on that event?

I think it was staged and lately I've seen more speculation about just that. FadedMullet 19 hrs ago #2

Lax security didn't stop him. I think the official story and investigative journalist reports from legitimate news sources pretty much agree. Of course, podcasters, etc., desperate for an audience always have another take.

But I guess it could be like the moon walk, it didn't happen and what we saw -- including the guy in the audience getting killed -- was all fake.

Which does not preclude the fact that there will almost certainly still be people around bringing it up 30-40 years from now.

What was the shooter's motive? It's been more than a year - any new info from Kash?

treaties to blow up - ships to blow up - economies to blow up ... You know, 'newsie' type stuff.

As far as the perpetrator's motivation .... Um - because he was a friggin' whack job .. ? Pretty much like all the rest .. ?

Sorry I’m not a CT person but there’s so much that smells here. A nearly successful assassination plot against a former/future president and no one, including Trump, talks about it after they got what they wanted out of it.
