Ah yes, the CDC, well known for it's highly trained hit squads. I can't even with these chuckleheads anymore. It would just be hilarious if they weren't poised to wreck the country for at least most of the duration of my likely natural life.
A highly trained squad wouldn't have missed him. This proves that it's a CDC action. /s
I know this is sarcasm but, I mean If I was the CDC and I wanted to neutralize an old man, I probably wouldn't use bullets. That's a like a rogue leaving their poisons at home so they could instead carry a sword and shield against someone whos super weak to poison.
It's a bit more like a well known poisoner leaving their poisons at home in order to carry out a high profile political assassination where they might swiftly be considered a suspect.
That alone is so telling to me:
One: it's obviously projection as it always is. Which means we can expect previously mundane regulatory agencies beefed up in ways that make no sense with regards to enforcing what's in their purview, in order to carry out dirty tasks like this. This is a self-report. They're telling us exactly what they want to do with our federal agencies.
Two: it's just more indication of how easy it is going to be for the Republicans to "dismantle the administrative state" (literally their own words). If this is how their base thinks regulatory agencies operate, then it's going to be real fucking easy to convince any who aren't already onboard to get rid of them entirely.
When they consider homosexuality to be a disease...
Thanks for taking it a level deeper than my general snark towards R. You are spot on.
