Far-right podcaster and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones reportedly hosted a livestream on social media with "Assassinate Biden" in the title, causing the internet to erupt in calls for an investigation.
Independent multimedia journalist David Leavitt flagged Jones' stream on X, which was formerly ...
That’s what the show posits. The title is something like “they’re gonna assassinate Biden”
I don’t even want to know who Alex Jones thinks “they” are this time.
Could be the donors, could be the party, could be a true believer.
I don’t listen to his show so idk the reasoning but this is probably one of those stopped clock situations.
They lose with Biden, if it goes instead to a brokered convention they lose. If Biden dies then there’s a good chance they win.
Your question of who is the sticking point though. The party doesn’t care about winning, the donors are all giving to both sides anyway, only a true believer would do such a thing.
There’s not a lot of precedent for that though. There was the congressional baseball watcher, but even then it was an ill conceived haphazard attack with little preparation.
Pardon the pun, but democrats just don’t got any shooters.
I completely disagree. You have Trump and his people calling Biden the most evil president in history. That could absolutely turn into an assassination from a Trump devotee.
nah, the american conservative movement is just trying to stay in their lane and let the democrats fuck this one up themselves. there’s no benefit for their party, donors or true believers to a biden death.
that’s not to say they can’t screw it up, just that they won’t allow or condone something as damaging to their chances as bidens death.
Since when have lone nuts stayed in their lane?
That depends on if you’re including people “known to law enforcement” as lone nuts.
If so then yeah, if not then no.
Your typical real deal lone nut doesn’t target political figures, instead opting for the uhh propaganda of the deed.
The ruby style lone nut isn’t really acting by themselves, and always seems to have a bunch of people around them influencing their decisions.
