What he’s basically saying is that if you believe the “batsh** crazy” explanation, your reasoning power is low and you are, yourself, batsh** crazy. :)

I knew immediately that it was a setup.
Staged event to support the narrative.

Staged from the get-go.

Look at the municipal parking structure diagonally across the street from the “crash scene.”

Look at the video from the drone. It takes a steady hand and careful video editing to NOT show the length of 4th Street and uphill from the Water Street crash scene.

The getaway exit goes slowly past the TV station and the police department. Help me. This operation is a fake. Someone paid for all of these coincidences to occur.

Scott with his great insight, shreds and rips the left wing and our Never Trumpsters in their past attempts to defeat candidate Trump!

His logic and wit, works today a year after Trump did the impossible, won the election and became our President!

News from Charlottesville has been very silent regarding the charges and trial

And former Governor McAwful has been pretty quiet too

NO, he’s letting people come to that conclusion themselves. Ooops! Change the subject! When we argue with them, every time they do that we should stop and say Subject Change I Win! Scoreboard!

Very insightful book. This is why I do not get upset at any of President Trump’s first statements on anything.

I liked the article, it kind of hurt a bit, but the truth always does that. We did get played, however, ‘Charlottesville’ became kind of a rallying cry for both sides so I don’t know that they won the day. Certainly did unleash a torrent of censorship tho.

I saw it as a big nothingburger except for the death. And I even put that on the antifa. That was a really nice car and I suspect that they were just pounding on a guy’s car and he panicked and floored it. It’s what I would have done.

You have two groups of basically normal and decent people. Some older Democrats, maybe, who want to honor the past for what it is, and younger Democrats who want to put the past behind them.

And then you have the crazies. Trump was not referring to the crazies when he talked about “good people on both sides”. He wasn’t referring to the antifa numbskulls with bats and flamethrowers and he wasn’t referring to the Nazis and KKK morons. I always wondered who organized to make sure they were there; we know the city police orchestrated to bring the crazies together for a fight, sort of like the way guards in prison orchestrate “gladiator” fights between inmates, for their amusement. This was political theater, and the press was complicit.
