Up until now I thought Trump was a "straw man" you know, people need an opposition leader, so they give us one, all the while thinking "We control this guy just as much as the the other guy"
Not so much anymore. This looks just like a classic CIA run operation. Use a lone wolf crazy, just make sure he gets the shot off. "Do we have the ladder up yet?" "Has anybody done a range find so we can get his rifle sighted in properly?"
There is no way this was all from a single 20 year-old kid that beat the Secret Service just by luck. Powerful people expected Trump to be killed that day.
I used to think I had a handle on what was going on. Not any more. No.
They have a "Plan B" you can bet on that, but what's it going to be? This is getting really scary now . . .
This one was an inside job. Standard procedure is you have security on any high ground or building rooftop within a half mile. Doesn't need to be a company of Marines, just one cop in a lawn chair "Don't let anybody up on the roof Bubba, got it?"
But noooooooooo. They literally SEE a guy on the roof with a clear 150 yard shot and they do NOTHING. How do you justify that?
In empires "domestic" politics in the imperial core is driven by events in the periphery, where the empire pilfers its ill-gotten gains. I do not buy your sanguine vision of a competent Biden dealt a "bad hand" or whatever. He's not competent. He's been a disaster for the empire, as the war in Ukraine demonstrates. The war is going very bad. Ukraine is going to lose.
And it was not inevitable that the war occur. Indeed, a Russo-Ukrainian conflict would almost certainly be disadvantageous to America's empire, as per Obama the Russians have escalation dominance in this part of the world. Putin, ever cautious, was eager to make a satisfactory arrangement (a neutral Ukraine on the Austrian model would have sufficed). Biden, run by neoconservative hawks like Victoria Nuland, lacked the wherewithal to control his administration's more ravenous and bestial elements. In other words: Biden's weakness did him in.
Now the empire is in damage control, with fires to put out simultaneously in the Pacific, the Middle East, and in Eastern Europe. It's come time to cut off a gangrenous limb before the infection gets to the heart, and I think it's gotta be Ukraine. Biden's too doddering to man the saw, but Trump will do just fine. He's signaled very clearly to the imperial mandarins that the Ukraine hawks will be out while the China hawks and the Zionists will get their druthers.
Other than the shrinking of America's imperial frontier and the not-inconsiderable economic consequences thereof, I don't think much will change. Under Trump, the US will continue its aggressive policy toward China and Iran/Hamas/Lebanon, the same policy Biden's been pursuing. Domestically, things will chug along toward collapse but perhaps a bit more slowly by saving resources that would otherwise be wasted getting hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians needlessly killed.
Does it hurt to think about all of that at the same time? Reading this I had to stop evey couple of sentences to consider the point you just made. In a couple of sentences, what's your main point? Not saying I disagree, I'm just having trouble combining all those thoughts.
I wonder whether RFK. Jr. will pull more votes from Trump or Biden.
But the problems facing America go much deeper than "Trump vs. Biden".
The establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1913 was a really bad thing.
President Nixon going off the gold standard in 1971 was a really bad thing.
Bailing out the banks at the expense of the taxpayer instead of letting them fail in 2007/2008 was a really bad thing.
This is what has caused the massive wealth inequality in America, which has then resulted in the social divisiveness and political extremism (e.g. BLM/Antifa vs. Proud Boys).
The trillions of dollars in COVID stimulus printed since March 2020 was the final nail in the coffin. The United States now has over 120% debt/GDP, ~$35,000,000,000,000 of debt.
The only two options now are a debt default or hyperinflation. It is central banking and fiat money that has caused this giant mess.

The story about Iran having a plan to take him out followed quite quickly after the attempt too. Gonna be a crazy 4-6 months that'll feel like years.

Don't worry! The Federal Reserve has a plan, LOL!
