Sure, there was the attempted assassination of Reagan and the fears for Obama as the first black President, but in those cases it was a lone nutter rather than a conspiracy.

How long can Trump crash the market before an angry billionaire decides to take him out? The remaining Koch brother is already pouring money into legal challenges against Trump…

    A suicide mission might not be as much of an issue if someone’s entire life is in shambless due to economic collapse, no healthcare and God knows what else is cooking up over there in the US. I mean, you’re prolly very tight that the feds are on top of it, but human life can be pretty squishy, especially for a ca. 80 y.o. man. Someone could leave a carrot on the white house doorstep and he might trip and snap his neck, who knows.

    But I’m more curious about the people who lose everything, are getting truly desperate, and have nothing left to fear.

      Yeah, people forget that there are entire generations of Americans whose only feasible retirement plans are suicide or homicide

        Or just, you know, death. 😂 No need to throw a “-cide” of any kind, enough of the time. I had a 50 y/o coworker die from cancer. Sad. Too soon. But he was worried about retirement…now he doesn’t have to. ¯\(°_o)/¯
