Basically, a massive narcissist was just martyred by someone in his own party. The narcissism will be even further off the charts now. His already unbearable cult of personality will got so far past 11, it’s going to be so much worse.
The optimist in me was so hoping Trump would see the error of his ways after his life was tried and another made forfeit in his stead.
Motherfucker still talking about himself. God damnit. I had a hopeful moment, my bad. Back to Plan A: Big ballsy Biden's bountiful bouquet of blissful banter.
Which, I might add, is currently surrounded by the lackluster looming laughable languid leftist lobotomy of a circus performance, and I'm not only referring to the politicians. stares
Princess Carolyn?
It's shit like this that reminds me A Christmas Carol is fiction
What's plan B?
Something else Republicans wanna do away with.
This whole thing about the dude being a member of his party… is that confirmed now?
Last I read was that the person had donated money to left leaning politicians but registered as a Republican to participate in the Republican primaries.
You never know what is up or down nowadays. I guess that’s probably always been true though.
I think the donation has been debunked as an elderly man with the same name.
This is why we shouldn't speculate until actual information is out. Most of the basis of our speculation is going to be flat-out wrong.
Oh I agree with you, that was my point pretty much. I was wondering if more had came out.
I think it’s reasonably confirmed.
"He definitely was conservative": Classmates paint picture of Republican "outcast" who shot Trump – Salon.com
Heaping on: He registered to vote as a Republican in the ‘22 midterm. A reason being given for a Democrat to register as Republicans is said to be to spoil primaries, but he did not vote in this year’s primary, so I think that line of thought is less likely.
In the article you shared. “Campaign finance records show that in January 2021, as a 17-year-old, Crooks gave $15 to the Progressive Turnout Project, a pro-Democrat political action committee, Axios reported. However, records show that he later registered as a Republican and voted in the 2022 midterm elections.”
Why did he give money to Progressive Turnout Project?
I don’t know man. It’s obviously not black and white.
Honestly, who knows?
The news is saying that his voter registration was weeks after he turned 18. His peers have repeatedly said they believe he was a conservative, and he registered republican.
I would more trust his voter registration (which held constant for 2 years) and the words others say about patterns of actions from him than a one-time donation to a PAC.
It was a 20 year old, hardly someone with a long political history. He wasn't even able to legally drink.
At 20 I was passionately political. Anecdotal, I know.
It’ll all come out eventually. Maybe he wrote something.
Just a fall guy for the powers that be. Don't worry about him.
