Was it an assassination attempt? Seems more like a concept of an attempt.

More seriously, it smells an awful lot like a staged distraction strategy, considering the SCOTUS Robert’s memo broke literally hours prior, and also considering crazy distraction stories were a go-to strategy of the Trump admin

But this guy hated trump? do you think this was a psyop like five years in the making? I mean, they can obviously try to get as much sympathy out of it as they can now and try to dominate the news cycle with it, but are we seriously suggesting this is some sort of conspiracy?

Yes, we are seriously suggesting something like that.

You gotta realize that all these federalist society judges are coordinating WAY more than most people realize with the RNC and republican politicians. It’s a big club, and you (and I) ain’t in it.

Edit: Merp, I misinterpreted the context. You weren’t referring to Roberts.

But how does this relate to Routh?

e: Agreed on SCOTUS corruption wholeheartedly
