They aren't realistic because no one with any credible ability to pull them off is making such plans. You sure aren't leading the lynch mob.
Thomas Crooks is leading the mob.
The guy that had no political motives and was just trying to hit the highest valued target he could? That's a piss poor leader.
That's also true, but I'd say the bigger problem when it comes to his leadership skills is his complete lack of brain and other organ activity.
Biden already dropped.
That would be a much funnier joke if Biden hadn't literally endorsed someone else to be the leader.
Also, I'm sure Biden's spleen is just fine.
It was only meant to be a stupid joke. Not an actual political statement.
That’s your interpretation of his motives.
Yes, because that's where the evidence leads. I do tend to form my interpretations of things based on evidence.
You did the investigation yourself or you watched the news and believed whatever you heard? There are lots of versions of his motives, depending on who you’re listening to. I’m sure some far-right media outlet has “evidence” that Biden hired him.
If he just wanted to kill people, he would have taken more shots. Nothing in his past, that has been released at this point, shows he wanted to kill people for no reason. This was intentional, and seeing as he is a political figure, having this be politically motivated makes the most sense.
I'm listening to what the FBI are saying. You're free to come up with whatever conspiracy you want to though.
I’m sure the fbi don’t want anyone to know that it was politically motivated so he doesn’t become a martyr. You’re free to believe the government never lies or manipulates the facts, but historically that’s not always been the case.
Nice conspiracy theory.
You’re allowed to have your opinions.
If the leader of your great revolution is a corpse, I think you have big problems.
Corpse, Martyr, similar but different.
From 6ft underground?
I think that’s a requirement for being a martyr.
I had this discussion with someone a couple weeks ago and was surprised to learn that it's not.

Interesting. Well, martyr nonetheless.
