Your blind, unwavering faith in "mainstream US media" is laughable at best, Joe.

Legacy media doing what they do best.

Now they're all either deleting their tweets of wishing the shooter had better aim or they're wishing Hitler a speedy recovery after this tragedy that has no place in American politics.

Now we get to watch as they try to sweep the 8 years of hateful rhetoric spewed by this administration under the rug.

Stupid people will forget and MSM apologists will graciously accept their new programming.

X too, it's wild how many elected officials/government employees feel safe enough to hit "Post" on a tweet expressing their disappointment that Trump wasn't publicly assassinated.

yeah mean like the field director for Congressman Bennie Thompson (who headed the Jan. 6th Commission & recently proposed legislation to remove Trump’s Secret Service detail), wishing Trump’s assassin had better aim ?

In other news, Jack Smith is still a loser that needs to pay back LOTs of unearned income to the government.

I am honestly a bit surprised that we haven't spent more time yet talking about this:




I'm pretty sure that each of us has now watched, and more importantly listened to, that clip a few dozen times by now.

Less than three seconds elapse between the first of the three shots fired by Tom Crooks and the fusillade of return-fire by the government snipers.

Three seconds is an awfully short amount of time, if the snipers did not already have Cooks lined up in their scopes and were ready to fire.

But it's an awfully long amount of time, if they did.

Please help me with my twitter/X embedding?

Is it not [url ] hyperlink [/url ] (no space, obviously)?

*EDIT* I guess it takes a second...

If you look at some of the satellite photos, there is a tree that probably obstructed the view of the counter snipers in that photo. There was a second counter sniper time on one of the other buildings that are more likely to have taken out the shooter. One of them is shown in a video pocketing an empty cartridge case after the shooting. Still doesn't explain the time element, because the counter snipers should all have been on the same radio frequency, though likely not the same frequency as any ground personnel calling in the reports about the shooter.
