According to Twitter he has ties to Azov and was actively engaged in attempting to recruit and smuggle mercenaries from Central Asia to fight in Ukraine, and proposed doing the same for Taiwan. Unhinged psycho. Too bad these wannabe assassins are such rabid turbolibs...

Meaning, he's likely a CIA asset.

Looking at the thread cfgaussian linked there's honestly no doubt in my mind. Either CIA or CIA asset, it doesn't get any more blatant than this.

how else was he managing to dodge the entire secret service opening fire on him and getting arrested unharmed lmao

From the SS handbook:

Empty my magazine into the air = suppressive fire

I think we need to consider that the SS might just be terrible shots lol

It's definitely for the best. Imagine the news if a commie or even a dem took aim at trump. I just want some conservative to take him out so when secret service kills the guy there's a net zero loss

Alternatively, I'd like Trump to win and immediately (by necessity) begin cracking down on all those who engaged in lawfare against him, and against the deranged "totally not glowies" NAFO maniacs who have- by the looks of it- tried to take him out (or looked the other way at their assets who attempted it) twice at this point.

If "both sides" of the fascist establishment in the US could start killing each other off, it would be a win-win for humanity. The more destructive for the US fascist regime, the better.

how crazy would it be if even the state department/deep state has drank the kool-aid about Trump being the End of Democracy and they've been trying to kill him all year lol

i think these are just stupid random american, the differences between the liberal factions are petty, they agree on the major stuff i.e. israel, china, russia, etc

It would be pretty funny. Though I don't necessarily think they buy that shit (it's not out of the question though). I expect they're more pissed about all their plans like Project Ukraine getting derailed, and having actual "opposition" (still a neoliberal, somewhat neocon, hegemonist imperialist and racist- but they hate him for even the smallest of differences/not being of their number as I see it).
