More than usual at least. Had his like six year old daughter next to him saying that he’s preparing to die… so yeah.

I never attribute things to conspiracy when incompetence is on the table, and in the federal government, incompetence is always on the table
This statement is correct. I can say without doubt if its between elaborate conspiracy and complete incompetence, incompetence wins almost every time.

Your conspiracy theories make you feel in control somewhat because you feel like you have knowledge advantage over others and deep down inside its comforting to think someone is in control.
This is 100% true, but the flip side is that others lean in to the chaos theory for comfort. Considering the sinister option is a hard pill to swallow, so a chaos theory makes the situation easier to digest.
"It couldn't have been prevented."
"It was just fate."
"Wrong place, wrong time."
Each of these statements negates an "enemy" so to speak. The U.S. government couldn't possibly be behind it. Just a random "bullied incel" flipping out.
We all have coping mechanisms. I definitely fall on the side of conspiracy theory lol. It makes me feel better to try to think my way out of it, even if I'm completely wrong.

Especially when it comes to the massive conspiracies. Like the ones that would have to include tons of different ( esp government) people. They would actually have to be extremely competent to pull off some of these things

Great post and spot on.
Do you want the fireman that drags you out of your house to be a 225 pound man or a 150 pound woman? Regardless of your political affiliation, race, sex or creed, if you're being honest, you admit you want the man in that job.
I saw it in the army. Women that can do some jobs are the exception to the rule and maybe 1 out of 100 can actually do a job. For the same job only 1 out of 100 can't do it.
While there is some legitimate crossover, it's like 1-2%.

Does Alex Jones still do a show? I need to hear him today

The Biden Administration should have done this a fricking year ago, but this administration also wants Bobby dead. If Trump makes RFK his AG (which he should), they’ll almost certainly kill Bobby Kennedy before he can get that position. Every CIA Director since 2001 (which includes Mike Pompeo who should not be allowed anywhere near the RNC or Trump) will be arrested immediately and charged with crimes against humanity for running an illegal bioweapons program that almost certainly led directly to Covid, and several hundred underlings and fellow conspirators (like Tony Fauci) will go to jail and face the death penalty if convicted. There’s no way they’ll allow that to happen.

Also not surprisingly, Trump is going to announce his VP at the RNC today. I’m hoping it’s Tulsi.

Tim Dillon just released a podcast with Jones today. Haven't listened but should be a good one.

JD Vance will be the VP nominee in my opinion.

Why Tulsi?

Why should Trump make a liberal Democrat his AG?

Save for preventing him from being impeached, I don’t see what he brings to the table. Granted barring assassination, he’s now a guaranteed win.

I saw that.
The other wounded person is from New Kensington. My dad was born there and lived for the first 8-9 years of his life before they moved to Butler.
Praying for a full recovery for both

Because RFK has had an axe to grind with the Deep State since he was nine years old and he knows where the bodies are buried. He’s perfect for taking out our enemies and the Deep State knows it.

The only two being discussed that would really make any inroads for the electorate IMO were Youngkin and DeSantis (and the latter wasn't often discussed as an option).
JD Vance strikes me as a well rounded VP choice who is very intelligent and is very in touch with the intellectual far right fringe of the conservative movement. Substantively, I think he offers a lot of what Vivek would offer, but with more credibility. Of course, Vivek is the bigger personality and likely a more dynamic candidate, but a lot of conservatives doubt his sincerity.
