He Played Us
As time goes by, and after reading other writers opinions regarding the shooting of the orange man, I'm nearly convinced it was a set up, the whole damn thing was staged to garner sympathy for Trump because they were worried he was going to lose the election.
It's absolutely diabolical and disgusting. I have a feeling his ghoul henchman, Miller, had something to do with it.
What bothers me besides Crooks being highly visible throughout the event, then having unrestricted access to the roof, is Trump's reaction.
That was fucking staged. If you get shot, you don't jump up and raise your fist. The secret service would have dragged his ass out of there. They would never have allowed the moment to happen.
Instead of there being a smoking gun (Crooks weapons most likely were empty) there was probably a device behind Trump's ear which was set to do the least amount of damage.
As my blogger friend says in his excellent post, Trump rarely brings the shooting up. That's not like him. He'd be bragging about that every five minutes.
I tend not to give so called conspiracy theories much thought. Most can be disproven with a few searches. Perhaps this is one reason I didn't dig deeper. The other reason is then I'd have to believe Trump and company are far more devious than I would have ever imagined.
I said in the beginning of this post that I'm nearly convinced except for the fact that several other people were shot, one man dying from his injuries. Would Miller and company go that far to use people as collateral damage? You'll have to decide for yourself. I think they would go to any extremes. I'm not even sure if Trump is holding the reigns anymore.
I just knew there was something so odd with the fake salute, but to finally admit to myself this whole thing was a charade makes me absolutely sick. It means they have played us all. They will do anything to stay in control.
These past few months we have seen how low they will go to fill their own pockets, to satisfy their own prejudices. They want to control women, eliminate the disabled, elderly, LGBT and people of color.
People in this country are concerned about groceries and paying rent, but this regime has proven they are ready to slash and burn, to kill, to obliviate this country. They will go to any means to stay in power.
We are in far deeper trouble than we could have ever imagined.
