Its usually not the bad guys that are not yet in power, that get assassinated. So thats a pretty good common sense assumption until proven otherwise.

Just when I was thinking of leaving the comforts of home and going to live in the rainforest of Ecuador, something like this happens.

I think we have troops in Peru and Columbia, so we have Ecuador boxed in...

We’ll get their finches one way or the other...

polling at 7.5%, i’d say this was a lil premature...

I love this.

“May God have him in his glory,” fellow presidential hopeful Jan Topic said in response to the shooting.”

Eggs-zactly.

There are no political assassinations in Banana Republics that the CIA isn’t involved in.

And that goes for the USA as well.

This will be the Democrats’ last recourse when every other attempt to stop Trump fails. It will be executed such that a lowly “mentally ill” average Joe ‘acting on his own’ takes the hit.

when all else fails just off them.

It sure wouldn't be the first time we've done it!

Just in the last few decades....
-Sadaam Hussian
-Gadafi
-Ukraine Maidan Revolution
-And those are just the ones we know about

And then, maybe we can have a conversation about a few unlikables right here at home that were offed.

Yep that is exactly what I thought of when I read about this, this was sending a message to Trump, if we cant jail you, we will just off you, anytime, anyplace
