Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

The shooter and an audience member are dead. How Machiavellian do you think these people are that they'd kill two people for a PR stunt?
Yeah I too thought it was staged until bodies showed up. Anyone continuing to say this was staged at this point feels very Alex Jones.
I don't think it was staged, but I also don't think they would give a shit if other people died during a staged shooting.
I agree, but I don't think Donny is brave enough to allow lethal ammo to stage anything.
Also true.
Honestly: do you think they have regard for people’s lives? Not that I think this is staged.
They'd surely have regard for Trump's life, no? I mean "they" shot him in the ear. An inch closer and he'd likely be dead.
Did they shot him in the ear?

What? Are you fucking delusional? I understand brown people are not really people for you guys there, but do you realize how many people indirectly and directly "these" people have killed in Syria alone, counting only cases of being simply too lazy?
Killing two people for fucking presidency? You think it's unrealistic?
Anyway, the answer to the question "how Machiavellian" is "fully" for everybody participating in politics, because we are still homo sapiens and our time is just as Machiavellian as Machiavelli's time, there are no naive people there, and if there are no poisonings and assassinations left and right there, that's for the same reason only there are no nukings left and right on the map, not because they are moral.
What the fuck... ?
How am I delusional for not thinking this was staged? The moving parts required for it to be staged are an order of magnitude more complex and voluminous than it just being a lone nut with an AR-15. Unless you have some actual solid verifiable evidence that calls the boring reality of the situation into question, I'd maybe dial down the rhetoric a tad.
Not that, just that it's improbable because of lives soent
