Almost two weeks ago, the US Department of Justice announced that it had foiled a plot by Proper and a number of co-conspirators to assassinate Donald Trump and other elected officials at the Ultimate Fighting Championship event recently held at the White House. As of Friday, eight people from around the country are in custody. All appear to be men in their 20s or early 30s.

Unsurprisingly, right-wing media is lying, claiming that these were lefties:

some conservative media outlets have seized on aspects of the story to imply that the plotters were actually bad seeds of the far left. One of the alleged plotters, an article in the Federalist argued, “parroted Democrat conspiracy theories about President Trump protecting child predators connected to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein”.

Also, Donald Trump does protect child predators connected to sex offender and former best buddy of Trump, Jeffrey Epstein.

    I thought it was interesting at the time how it was a conspiracy of like five dudes, but the headline across several news sites was like, "two dudes from California lead conspiracy to assassinate the president."

    "Democrat"-ic camera taking photos of the two together?

    "Democrat"-ic birthday card Trump wrote and signed for Epstein?

    "Democrat"-ic condoms depicting Trump saying I'M HUUUUGE?

    "Democrat"-ic Mike Johnson saying just yesterday he is running a protection program for keeping Trump connected Republicans with potential dirty laundry away from investigation or prosecution?

    Oh, yet another conveniently foiled assassination attempt for the guy claiming he really needs his secure ballroom. Well I say, all these foiled assassination attempts seem to suggest security is just fine.

    The plotters bandied biblically-tinged language about “shepherds” and “lions’ dens”, and believed that demons (or at least demon-worshipers) were preying on children, itself a QAnon- and Epstein-era update of a centuries-old Christian antisemitic trope. According to court documents, investigators found a diary in which Proper “wrote that the government sought to control people and to sacrifice children and others to a demonic figure”.

    I mean they're on the right track. Epstein was not disconnected from Israel, and a type of Israeli statist extremism... And he was sacrificing people/children to elites, people and children were definitely killed. It wasn't a vacation camp, or even some sort of 'clean' sex trafficking ring with rules against murder, or against letting in elites practice snuff/death/rage.

    Trump himself is that kind of rapist, official witness statement say he beat girls/children and degrades them when they try to refuse him.

    So this group really isn't far off the mark, despite the articles spin.

    Idk, whats Luigi's political identity?

    He seems pretty "self-correcting free market" kind of dude if he went after a CEO and not a Republican Legislator.

    Keep in mind he's the rich heir to a fortune, with an ivy league education and used to have a six figure tech company desk job.

    Brian was immediately replaced, and the interim CEO who replaced him was later replaced by the shareholders in favor of a more profit-oriented CEO.

    i mean i am theoretically distantly related to potato billionaires if i pull that thread of relations i've never met hard enough. but like so is the rest of the state of idaho so whatcha gonna do. but like, i'm poor. don't judge a person by their relations

    the story is really good though it involves shady pool halls, angry drunken cigarette wives and Uncle... I forget his name so let's call him Uncle Darryl I don't have an Uncle Darryl that's what we've named Bigfoot. I'm going to have to ask Gran next reunion for all her sisters to figure out the official version of the story.

    those of us competent enough to do it are not competent enough to get away with it and are smart enough to know that. so we're like "huh. do i want to road trip across the country and get caught in kentucky? nah. I'll let kentucky do it. It's kind of THEIR whole deal anyways."

  • Understandable. But come on there must be one cool dude who just got the call and knows he's terminal, nothing left to lose

    One girl that saw her world fall apart after selling her soul for the umpteenth time

    One radical teenager that figured out shooting kids ain't going out with a bang at all

    One mad boomer that ground up his own teeth over the years being bothered enough

    One minority member that picks the path of the hero instead of the gangbanger

    One father that saw his son radicalise voicing opinions that would make any man's neck hair stand

    One downtrodden beat down slob that feels so low there's no downside to trying anyway

    Because they're easy to convince, and any internal issues can be handwaved away with "they were Antifa".

    That's all there is to it.

    Trump (or his handlers) saw how the first assassination attempt was a yuuuuuge success in getting support going. The second one was a bit lackluster but then they kept going with the correspondents dinner and now this.
