    Crooks had serious psychological problems and he almost certainly wasn't motivated by politics at all but by a need for attention not unlike John Hinckley, the guy who attempted to assassinate President Reagan. Prior to his attempt on the life of Trump Crooks was doing research on the movements of Joe Biden as well as security on the site of Democratic National Convention not unlike Hinckley who was doing research on President Carter before he shot Reagan in DC and even traveled to Nashville, Tennessee when Carter was visiting the city.

    I'm not doubting that. All possibilities should be investigated, however.

    It’s weird to talk about who you are voting for with some of your family? Sorry didn’t realize having conversations about who you are voting for is bizarre with family members…

    Going for the daily double of conjecture?

    That's the story on Crooks we think we know. The FBI managed to get into his encrypted messaging and suddenly Trump and his campaign hardly mention it any more. Hmm...

    Conjecture based on facts.
    Rally shooter had photos of Trump, Biden and other US officials on his phone, AP sources say
    Trump shooter also searched for info on RNC and DNC, FBI says

    Although it should have been clear this is why I drew the analogy between Crooks and Hinkley.

    So when you said 'I work with 5 Jewish people and have 3 family members who are Jewish', you actually meant that you have not 3, but 8 family members who are Jewish? That's a very strange way to say you have 8 family members who are Jewish.

    I have 3 family members who are Jewish and work with 5 Jewish people. I didn't have my glasses on when replying. Corrected.

    And It's weird to discuss who you are voting for with family and coworkers who you are friends with?

    So I was making up stuff regarding what the FBI found after searching his phone including the fact that he was also tracking Biden and researching the site of the DNC? Got it.

    28% ot Democrats admit that they wish Trump had been assassinated. I would think that the real number is higher.

    seems like an assasination attempt to me.
    But he wrote the letter months ago saying he was unsuccessful?

    Yeah it's a little weird if you have 5 Jewish coworkers and you've discussed who you are voting for with all of them. I have many coworkers and I don't know who any of them are voting for nor do they know who I am voting for. It's kind of unprofessional to discuss politics at the office.

    If only the GOP cared as much about protecting the lives of schoolchildren from gunmen as they do the life of a convicted felon rapist.

    Sounds like you aren't friends with any coworkers. Sounds like a you problem. You have no problem saying who you are voting for on a message board but won't discuss it with friends and family members?

    LOL. Good try. He only stalked Trump for a month and then had the following:

    “During a search of the Nissan Xterra ... FBI agents found two additional license plates,” the filing said.

    “The agents also found six cellphones. One of the cell phones contained a Google search of how to travel from Palm Beach County to Mexico,” the filing said. “The agents also found 12 pairs of gloves; a Hawaii Driver’s License in the Defendant’s name; a passport in the Defendant’s name.”

    And the agents found the handwritten list of dates where Trump had appeared or was expected to be present, according to the filing.

    Also in the car was “a notebook with dozens of pages filled with names and phone numbers pertaining to Ukraine, discussions about how to join combat on behalf of Ukraine, and notes criticizing the governments of China and Russia,” the filing said.

    Sounds like you have a reading comprehension problem. My friends and family know who I'm voting for and I know who they are voting for. Workplace is different and if you worked for a reputable company, discussing politics at the office would be frowned upon. It's just funny to me that you have 5 Jewish coworkers and you know who all of them are voting for. I know you are full of BS much of the time, so I suspect this is BS too.
