lmfao I love that clip.

The craziest part to me is that instead of dealing with bot traffic so they can tell advertisers actual people are seeing their ads, they’re just adding age verification.

Counter-Strike 2 suddenly playable.

I maintain my position.

Also, I find it harder to believe the CIA failed to assassinate him than that it was a publicity stunt.

Cambridge Analytica etc was incredibly sophisticated and right-wing think tanks have done far more to shape people’s habits and opinions than you seem to realize.

I look forward to my future as a robot parts clean-up guy.

You think he won through incompetence? Interesting take.

The machine that got him elected was not incompetent. Roger Stone, for example, is a helluva schemer and has been in the game a loooooong time.

I do find it hard to believe that someone would risk their life to take a shot at Trump. There’s more to the story one way or another.

It makes sense to me if he trusts the people planning. It’s possible the bullet that killed the person in the crowd didn’t come from the kid, that the kid did actually fire blanks for the narrative while the shooter was someone more skilled and trusted by the campaign. Just spit balling.

Keep in mind, it was either winning or jail for Trump, and this really did turn things around for his run, so there were likely risks he was willing to take, especially if the people planning assured him there’d be no real risk to him.

That’s certainly a plausible reason, and at least part of the story.

Agreed. Kid “tries to assassinate” the now president and we still know so little about him.

The implications make me so uncomfortable.

If that happens I’ll buy you a beer, my friend.

Only one problem, more and more people think Trump is an idiot every day.

Trump is the beast and AI is the Anti-Christ.

Peter Thiel is the devil.

I don’t actually believe this, but it does work shockingly well.

oh give me a fucking break

I believe it’s a plausible alternative explanation.

Definitely came to mind while thinking about this. Seems entirely plausible to me. Trump’s campaign had the resources, considering his connections to people like Erik Prince and the devil knows who else. An extremely simple and hard to trace operation once they’ve honey-potted the “right person”.

Of course not. Why would there be? If there was that would be the story instead of a hypothesis.
