"A shooting would leave me a little scared, since the reality is it would make me aware that anyone at any time could be a shooter.
Its almost as if they not only were not nervous, but happy it happened?" R5 #222
There's a diversity of "explanations" (aka "conspiracy theories") w/ varying degrees of implausibility.
"If nothing else it distracts people from the Epstein files and the disaster that's Iran." S2 #223
Our OJT CIC flails embarrassingly,
first by punishing our trade partners with $tariffs, insulting our NATO allies,
then cutting them out of the loop on Trump's decision to wage War on Iran again (second time this term),
and then acts imposed upon when NATO allies decline to join in to help clean up the mess Trump created without even the courtesy of consulting them.
And the Strait of Hormuz remains contested.
Trump pretends to professionalism / expertise.
He's a bumbling incompetent.
Anyone that contests that, how can we explain Trump's claiming lowering consumer prices his top priority,
and then sending them spiraling upward? "Competence"? By Trump standards perhaps.
