    Officials are trying to determine why Crooks opened fire at the rally… even with access to the gunman’s family and friends, his phone and the phones of some of the people he communicated with, investigators have found little information pointing to a motive.

    They are seriously out of touch with this country

    Interesting that the investigators say he had “no strongly held political beliefs”, while people who knew him say he was right leaning, Republican, and of course he was a registered Republican voter.

    Is “no strongly held political beliefs” code for “we don’t want to talk about him being Republican”?

      Or their definition of “strongly held” is just skewed to the extremes. Sort of like how during the pandemic, any case of COVID that didn’t require a ventilator was considered “mild”. Even if you feel like you’re dying, it’s a triage situation and you don’t need urgent medical attention. So even if your symptoms are debilitating, they aren’t imminently life-threatening and you’re considered mild.

    He seems to have had the background of most mass shooters. If it wasn’t Trump, it would have been a dozen other people.
