Suspect was registered as Republican voter, state records show

Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspectin Saturday’s shooting, was registered as a Republican voter, according to Pennsylvania records.

Already the republicans are dismissing his voter registration as meaningless. Here comes the “mental illness” angle.

Edit: apparently it’s not uncommon to register with the party you oppose in PA. This is going to be a fun ride.

My biggest hope now is that he legally purchased the gun with no background check from a maga at a gun show.

You really think that any of the cultists are going to care about what actually happened?

Their story will be that he's a transwoman high on legal weed who listened to woke podcasts about Gaza.

A brave and true republican boy, who got corrupted away from his family by the antifa deep state complex, he would have been such a great person, if only his parents had homeschooled him without interference from the communist atheists, and were allowed to hit him more as a child 😢

I should have saved it but I didn't. Someone else posted an actual MAGoo fiction about how a good kid goes to college and instantly gets a hot Black girlfriend who corrupts him with sex and Antifa ideology...

a hot Black girlfriend who corrupts him with sex

You son of a bitch! I'm in.

I think I saw a documentary about that on Elon's new video site, Xvideos.com.

(/s, NSFW)

I need to read this. What was the title?

Like I said, I wish I remembered. I vaguely recall the GF's name was Shondra, but that's iffy.

I'm usre you could come up with a better version if you put your mind to it.

Then he got the covid vaxx and the 5g nano microchips got implanted in his brain and made him a deep state sleeper agent.

No, but it might be enough to convince independents not to feel sympathy for him.

Up until 2016 I could pretend to myself that, when the chips were down, most Americans could tell chicken salad from chicken shit.

Too many people assumed Clinton would win.

Ergo, she didn't. Even so, never should have been close in the states that carried it over the line.

I sadly knew people who attended "Clinton Won!" parties, these same people didn't vote. Complacency is a killer.

Anyone independent at this point is a moron.

Facts won't matter. Facebook posts about deep state false flag operations will.

Anyone independent at this point is a moron.

This doesn't change the fact that Biden still needs those votes in order to be president.

Holy shit AND tried to assassinate a fascist? Why do they keep making up such fucking cool people

The cultists are gonna cultist no matter what. Truth still matters even in a political and media landscape that looks to be 'post-truth'. Don't get me wrong, I wish it mattered a whole lot more still.

When it was discovered Rittenhouse beat up a little girl, the story the Right made up was that the "Girl was a transgender who was spying on his sister in the bathroom!" when there's no evidence for that claim.

Trump's already not pro-gun. He passed some of the most significant "anti" gun legislation during his term. Thing is, he's a pathological liar, so it doesn't matter what comes out of his mouth. He'll stay on the "pro-gun" rhetoric, and when he's elected will enact more anti-gun legislation, especially now that he's been on the receiving end.

And it won't matter, because MAGA's gonna MAGA. He'll lose maybe a few truly 2A-focused people, but it won't matter because after 2024 there will be no more free elections in the US.

Trump's already not pro-gun.

Point of order: Trump's not anything except Pro-Trump. THAT'S IT. That is the sum total of his actual identifiable personal beliefs.

He's a demented narcissist and a sociopath. He's a rapist, a fraud, a money launderer for human traffickers, he's a traitor, a colluder, and a piece of shit.

But he is absolutely NOT "not pro-gun". He does not give a single solitary shit-in-a-vacuum. This has been proven. It Is Known.

Once he has secured power the gun confiscations will begin. Classic power grab move.

Yeah that’s not going to happen.

That was Feb 28, 2018. March 2nd, 2018, Trump met at the white house with the NRA, where

President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence have reassured gun owners that they remain committed to “strong due process” and they “don’t want gun control.”

He’s a chattering, demented, adderall-swilling dipshit who will not shut the fuck up and is literally unable to not lie every few sentences. It meant nothing, and even if they did try anything, that would be the fastest way to destroy the MAGA base.

Not. Happening.

He was a responsible gun owner. They’re all responsible gun owners.

Until they’re not.
