That's where all the engagement and comments can be found, and I'd encourage everyone to participate there.

The reason for THIS post is to direct everyone there.

I'm getting multiple reports that some people can't see it for some reason. Could be Federation, could be they blocked the user who posted it.

Here's hoping you all can see THIS one and move over to where everyone else is engaged.

Early reports are that he was a registered Republican. But early reports are often wrong.

CNN is speaking to Evan Perez, Senior US Justice Department Correspondant, confirming the information first reported by the New York Post.

Oh you silly goose. I said right wing media. Facts and truth don’t matter to them.

Considering that his registration is tied to his actual address it is hard to get that one wrong.

Early reports are that he was a registered Republican

Okay admittedly we all know it's not a false flag. But could we all just collectively pretend and shout it from the rooftops like Republicans do? That would be so cathartic.
