    I will follow the actual evidence. By "actual" evidence I mean what is known was the case rather than "it doesn't make sense to me" followed by a theory. Worse yet, picking and choosing what super-early "fog of war" reporting to believe and declaring a cover up if later investigation shows that the media irresponsibly (gasp!) reported something inaccurately. This means I have to hold off before making conclusions, but so be it.

    Right now, I see complacency leading to or as the result of incompetence and one messed kid. We'll see where that goes. I don't want to speculate about what will be found, but my mind could be changed.

    BTW- the whole "what was the motive" thing seems ridiculous and to an extent it is.

    Clearly, he wanted Trump dead. His motive seems to have been hatred for Trump....but why...and maybe not?

    1) Policies in general
    2) A specific policy
    3) Persona
    4) Someone he cares about hates Trump
    5) He hated someone who likes Trump
    6) He was suicidal and wanted fame in death
    7) He was mentally ill (likely some component of this in all other possible motives).
    7a He believed Trump was some sort of existential threat (where have we heard this before?) and he would be the hero
    7b He believed that Trump was involved in a vast conspiracy that only he knew about and could save us all from.

    It really goes on and on and there are near infinite possibilities. I think it would be important to find out what it was.
    I agree

    Dad owns a lot of guns for a "Trump is Hitler" person.
    I’m sure there’s lots of em out there. I know one in particular, that absolutely parrots EVERY dem/leftist loony idea and talking point, throws “right wing nut job” around constantly, and to this day, is proud of the fact that he’s voted straight ticket leftist going back to the 1970s. He probably has at least a dozen firearms, never carries them, mind you, he thinks that’s for the paranoid right wing nut jobs, but he has them.

    Indiucky knows who I’m talking about.

    Rule #1. The government is completely inept and a failure at any task it takes on because it is made up of completely inept people.....unless its a cover-up, in which case, the government is the single most brilliant entity known to mankind.

    I get it. We expect instant answers these days. Used to be you listened to a radio or waited 24 hrs for a news paper or watched one of 3 channels.

    Now, depending on your social media preference, you can have literally as much information as you can consume delivered to you in real time with YOU being the only real filter left to sift through what's right and whats wrong.

    If I EVER end up in a jury trial, I hope they wait until at least most of the evidence is in before deliberating.
    Don’t disagree with anything you said. Right now, with what I think I know, I tend towards incompetence and negligence. Maybe combined with a healthy dose of complaceny

    Yes it's quite complicated and I've been following American politics for well over a decade now.

    Our system is pretty simple.
    We put a piece of paper with a name (among a dozen of candidates) on it inside a small envelop.
    The guy/gal with the most votes is our president.
    Done.
    We may have twenty to fifty offices to vote for and there may be state constitutional changes to vote on, and or even referendums to vote on…
