Conspiracy hat time 🎩

Charlie Kirk is much more useful to Trump as a martyr than as a political pundit. Trump is desperately looking for a distraction for the Epstein files and his deteriorating health. We still don't have a suspect in custody.

Your conspiracy is probably more likely, but I like my conspiracy.

The shooter is a time traveller come to shoot Kirk before he can become president in the future.

Finally one of the these damn time travelers hit their mark

Have no doubt that the branching timeline will end up being worse. Good things can't happen.

[–] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

I can't remember the last time a good thing happened

I, too, am beginning to believe that Kirk was assassinated by his own handlers.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I've thought the same thing. all of it seems way too convenient.

Even if they find the shooter it’s just some used pawn.

Ya the Israeli 🎩 is my favorite right now.

It feels to professional, so I'm thinking that there might be other countries... Venezuela anyone?

Or maybe Putin doing a solid, or intentionally further destabilizing the U.S.?

Edit since I hate when people delete their comments in a comment chain: person I replied to, insinuated Israeli backed agents may have done this.

Sorry, I deleted that comment when I actually meant to delete a different one. But yes, someone commented on another 🎩 thread the Isreali possibility and honestly, the whole thing seems very professional to me. I believe I said that if they round up a patsy, it should be pretty obvious.

[–] LilDumpy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

No worries.

I've just run into comment chains, get really invested, then BAM, deleted comment and then I have no idea about the new topic in the chain.

I mean you have a right to delete. So NBD.
