      Its a bit far fetched that Trump would be able to kill people Putin style but yeah.

        Why? He doesn’t have to do it himself and all he has to do is get someone who can and will, and we know there are plenty of those types surrounding him.

        Things are more fucked up than you think they are I think.

        I’ve dealt with some wild shit in my life and in the begining I had this denial where it was all surreal. After about 2 years of those surreal events not going away I realized the world really is heartless and there is no protection. From the bottom of the street to the president. Evil is all around us. I think the American Dream ideology desensitizes people to it and people are indoctrinated to believe American success has to do with a person being moral or “good”.

        In my personal life it’s like I realized regardless of government and police and teachers and preachers etc, chaos rules and war is constant if you are staying within reality. Most people leave reality via consumerism, and drugs and alcohol. Even today’s entertainment reality TV style politics is escapism. People choose sides and watch but that’s it. It’s like they use is as a fuel to pass time and give them a neuron boost.

        If a person detaches from that world of denial they can start to see a lot of people really aren’t there, they aren’t present. They just sort of go through the motions. You can see who is real. Authentically down to earth. And who is like a fiend on a bender. It’s really not much different then seeing someone drunk or methed out except that it is socially accepted, indoctrinated and the norm. You can see their actions are from something other than the internal universal source that powers themselves.

          Love your comment. I felt the same but it was after 9/11 so its been a while. Evil is all around us, I agree with that. But you also have good in some people. They just arent interested in control and power, which is why the world feels evil.

          Im not American so I dont think of the American dream as more then necessary hope to cope in a society where you are supposed to identify with your title at work, and always wanting more. Its just a dream and often a nightmare to most people living in the US. That pressure to be successful because even your family cares about it must be difficult.

          Im definently into escapism myself. I started with computers in my teens to escape the daily life that felt meaningless. Became good at it, got good jobs. But Im still myself and I never became a npc unable to think for myself.

          But I do believe that it matters what we do here in this realm. There are a lot of evil people, but the good ones outnumber the bad ones with millions to one. They just dont have any power to change things.

          Most people still think they can vote and change things but you can ask anyone in their 50s how that works out for you… :)

          I never got that, the thinking that the rich and successful are good. I firmly believe that you don’t get rich unless you are prepared to do evil things. Even if it’s just cheating on your taxes. And in a country that claims itself christian…Didn’t Jesus say that it’s more difficult for a rich man to enter heaven than a camel can pass through the eye of a needle?

    This is big. Uncomfortably big.

    She was investigating two Russian nationals involved in some pretty big fraud.

    Russia has no hard power. We know this. But they excel at the psychological game.

    She is a beautiful, white, blonde woman.

    They took advantage of “Missing White Woman Syndrome” to send a message. This is terrifying.

    The message is: “the US isn’t going to punish you. The Kremlin is.”

        Reagan put the corporatization (if that’s a word) and destruction of the middle class into overdrive, planting the seeds for Trump/Krasnov.

        I hope people piss on his grave while he’s rotating so all of him gets covered.

    So, will this be the American version of „fell from a window“? I wouldn’t be surprised and pretty much expect the Trump administration to act this way.

        Never forget that during HitlerPig’s first administration, the Saudi’s wanted to kill dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was living in America, and writing for the Washington Post.

        The US was in negotiations to sell billions of dollars in weapons to Saudi Arabia for the first time, with Kushner leading the talks. They didn’t want to derail the talks, so the administration made it clear that they wouldn’t interfere in the Khashoggi matter.

        He wanted to marry his fiance who was still in SA, so they lured him to their embassy in Turkey to sign paperwork, where they ambushed him, murdered him, dismembered him, and disposed of the body. We have footage of him going in, but never coming out. Instead, people left carrying suitcases, presumed to be his body parts. We also have audio of the actual murder.

        HitlerPig knew he was to be murdered, and they did absolutely nothing to warn him nor prevent it. In fact, they greenlighted the op because they didn’t want to derail their arms talks.

        It should also be remembered that the Saudis gave Kushner $2 billion after he went back into the private sector.

      We need an autobpsi that is unbias stat. If she was murdered. Then it redifines every GOP members role in this country. Their family should no longer be allowed in any school or grocery store. Starve them to death. They deserve it for their support. If they don’t believe in such, they’d speak to hanging Rubio for treason right now. Trump even claimed not remembering to sign the executive order. If Republicans claim the death sentence. Give it to them

    The thing that bothers about this is the rampant speculation that is happening because of the state of American society right now. Will we ever know the truth for sure from the ME performing the autopsy given how extremely politicized things are right now? I don’t know.

    The article, and a few other articles I’ve read all indicate that she resigned from being a US Attorney before Trump had his second inauguration. People here have provided links to information that she was responsible for investigating Israeli and Russian people suspected of criminal activity. I remained incredibly skeptical that this wasn’t anything other than pure coincidence.

    Until I read a very interesting Substack article that goes a little deeper and makes the timing even more strange because she actually resigned THE DAY OF TRUMP’S SECOND INAUGURATION according to her Wikipedia. I got the Substack article from the “Talk” page on her Wikipedia.

    Usually when people resign they give a slight indication of where they are going to go to next. Claims are that she wasn’t forced out. But all of this together just doesn’t feel right – her exit from being a U.S. Attorney and her subsequent unfortunate passing just bothers me.

    A friend of the family told ABC News on Sunday that police believe the death was the result of a longstanding medical issue.

    Ah well that settles it. Russia did it. I don’t need any further evidence because my head is hollow just like the moon. Suck it Trumpers who’s stupid now?

    What will Himmler at the FBI do about it? The Kremlin is actively protecting their oligarchs in the USA and Krasnov will allow them free reign.

      When Russia is involved it’s hardly a conspiracy theory. They are known to take out political opponents when it suits them.

      That being said, I will reserve judgement until there is an official cause of death.

      Edit: I didn’t realize so many were accusing US. Hadn’t seen that in other threads.

      This place still insists that Trump’s assassination attempt was a set up, a key point being “without looking it up, tell me who did it! That’s proof!”
