Given what corrupt Kash Patel is corruptly releasing about this case:

The assassination was a set up by a right-wing accelerationist to set off that oft dreamed off civil war.

No way that noodle armed pencil neck could make that shot.

Apparently his exit was 'spitting distance' from the expressway and he could have been long gone in minutes.

They'll find him and his American Flag/Eagle sweatshirt sooner or later.

Kash is saying that the shooter jumped from the roof after firing his shot.

How many stories above ground was that roof? Three? Four?

Give me a break.

Less than twenty-four hours later and the stench is heavy.

"Apparently his exit was 'spitting distance' from the expressway and he could have been long gone in minutes"

But thy're saying he ran into a woods and then left elaborate evidence fingering some trans person, including shell casing engraved with some sort of trans sloganeering.

Give me a break,

Kash canned the local FBI Chief just weeks ago, and let go much of his Staff, who are now overwhelmed.

Smells fishy, eh?

The guy who left that rifle for police to find, after pulling off a sophisticated assassination and complete getaway, thoughtfully left A FULL PALM PRINT on that same rifle.

Make an sense to anyone?

Wow, the conspiracies are ripe in this channel. Basically, everything is possible except for anything that could be considered left leaning. You guys are in such a rush to find ways to distance yourselves that you can't even have basic empathy (something liberals claim is missing from Reps but this channel is illustrating it's liberals too beyond any doubt) or allow all of the facts to come out before making crazy insane conspiracies.

In fact, if I were shown these comments without any branding, I'd swear they were coming straight from a right leaning forum. Congratulations on being no different from Reps.

Kirk was very successful in brining young people to the Right - - wonder which party did not want that.

Very true. My son showed me clips of Kirk engaging with college student liberals who could barely form a sentence and it was easy to make them look completely stupid.

That's the Kirk he saw. Not the legit criticism about his messaging

FBI offering $100K reward in Charlie Kirk death

"The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of the individual(s) responsible for the murder of Charlie Kirk," the bureau wrote on the social platform X.

thehill.com

This is brilliant! If the shooter is a disappointed MAGAite, upset about his Pedo Pres, he'll be dumb enough to turn himself in for the Reward.

Do we have a picture of the recently fired local FBI chief?

And ... ..how many people like this did Kash fire?

Have a 5 year old read the article to you... and if you don't have a 5 year old, ask Trump for one.

Okay ... .that was funny.

And maybe you're right.

Trump decided to kill Kirk.

Orchestrated the plan, fired local FBI boss.

So ... ... what happens next?

Don't tell me you don't know. You've got it all figured out up to this point.

Next Trump will be seen falling asleep at the 911 Ceremony while dreaming about his days as Jeffrey's Wingman... which happened today.

btw, 'fishy' is merely a possible indicator that something stinks; we'll find out soon enough if this shooter is the same kind of Republican as the one who (supposedly) shot at Trump.

We have more assassinations because Kash Patel is inept and Trump's DOJ is corrupt.

I love this rush to pin it on the other "party," as if someone willing to do this is representative of said party.

I'm starting to think it is time to GTFOOH and take my family somewhere safer and less keen on self-destructing.

-I love this rush to pin it on the other "party,"

I had a professor in college for several classes who always said "I don't know if this is true, but it ought to be..."

It was in jest because his point was that people tend leave logic and objectivity aside in favor of bias and what they want to happen often times.

That bias has a strong presence here but it's a political blog so it's to be expected. I poke jabs at the folks who display that bias completely unaware of it.

While completely ignoring the plank in your own eye.

Which gets you a lot of funny flags.

That's merely evidence you have nothing else to argue with. a funny flag.

what frustrates you is that I don't have the kind of bias people like Boaz have that makes it easier to attack.

You can argue I'm a fence sitter all day and it's true.

and because Trump is hiring them.......don't tell me you're running from that narrative already.

Trump hired the one who allegedly shot at him. and killed the others and killed himself, really.

then he hired this guy for Kirk.

He has to be dead.......dead like....less than hour after he did the deed.

suicide, of course.

If Trump and his people weren't so utterly corrupt, it would be a lot harder to form conspiracies involving them.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

That will either put one Trump conspiracy to rest or provide fuel for all of them.

Landing I assumed, in which case you would likely know where they landed. Unless they landed randomly in the desert...

A quick Google says planes at 300 ft or lower altitude can be hard to track by radar. That would certainly get people's attention on the ground.

It doesn't disappear from radar, just from the public tracking sites like Flightaware and Flightradar24. Those use data from a transponder mounted in the aircraft that broadcasts plane information by radio. It's possible to turn those off, then the flight track will not show on public tracking sites.

All signs point to whoever the shooter was being hired by Trump to distract from the Epstein files and accelerate his desire to declare martial law in America.

There's a clip of Charlie just recently connecting Israel to Epstein. Who else did the Israelis kill? JFK. For speaking out against Israel.

Whoever is gonna get blamed for this is just a Patsy.

The real assassin has been rewarded for their actions.
