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.

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

    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.
