    I just read somewhere that… well maybe this was an inside job? The reason being is that since Trump’s creepy as fuck birthday letter became public, he needed something big to distract and shut down discussion so he had Kirk shot?

      definitely inside job. The dude who failed to shoot Trump was around 160 yards away. Whoever shot Kirk was around 150 - 200 yards away and he only needed 1 shot. Definitely pro stuff, maybe a hit order from within the gov.

        200 yards isn’t that big of a deal for a half decent marksman. Thomas Crooks was a lousy shot but if it wasnt for Trump’s last second head movement he would have been shot through the head.

        The rifle used to shoot Kirk was in .30-06 AND was a bolt-action Mauser style military rifle which has far superior ballistic qualities as a target rifle and round, meaning it is quite simple to bullseye someone’s head with a little practice and training at that distance.

      Yeah I heard as much as well. I definitely wouldn’t be surprised and think Trump is 100 percent capable of such evil, but could just as easily be conspiracy.
