A viral pic of a man lugging around 2 geese in Ohio is blowing up after Donald Trump's bizarre pet-munching Haitian immigrant claims ... but we're told the photo's just being twisted to fit the former prez's narrative, and what's actually going on is far less dramatic. read more
The path the inflammatory rumors took from the fever swamps to the debate stage to an on-the-ground, Trump-fueled furor in Springfield is a new spin through a story arc that has become familiar in the MAGA era: The most out-there right-wing extremists--including, in this case, notorious neo-Nazis--and GOP politicians reinforce each others' narratives, with real-world ramifications for everyday people. read more

I am disappointed that you do not have the decisiveness to pic a VP......At this rate you will not ever get anything done as a president. I have high hopes for your presidency, but if you move this slowly it seems to be a wasted 4 years. Please make a decision.
Yep, this is my conclusion too:

Of course, right-wingers are cherry-picking the Trump golf course guy's posts, but he's all over the place. Clearly a nut. Lots of countries have lot of nuts. Ours has nuts with easy access to assault rifles.

Here's the facebook page of the guy they think might be the shooter, but I don't know.
He's pro-Ukraine, anti-Putin and anti-Trump, but if this is the right guy, I think he might be an anti-Trump Republican. He followed and was followed by VivekGRamaswamy and had posts like this:

There are Republican supermajorities in the Ohio House and Senate. Do you know how many times I've heard anybody bring up Haitian migration? Zero. Ever hear Vance talk about it before this week? Me neither. Maybe look at the polls.
Pretty sad when your Hail Mary is Heil Hitler.

Wow, thanks for posting that. According to the article, they really doubled down:
