Joe Scarborough has accused Trump of being responsible for the death of a 75-year-old man in Utah whom the FBI shot to death after he had made explicit assassination threats and reportedly pointed a gun at agents.
Self-styled simple country lawyer Scarborough broke out the "but for" rule: that but for Trump's allegations of a deep state, stolen elections, etc., that man wouldn't be dead.
Concluded Scarborough:
"This man paid for it with his life! He bought into the lies. He bought into the conspiracy theory. And now, because of Donald Trump, you know, you could make the argument, he's dead! You can make the argument that he is dead because of Donald Trump."
So what's next, Joe? If under your "but for" rule, Trump is responsible for the man's death, should Jack Smith issue a new superseding indictment, charging Trump with homicide?

“They are laying the groundwork for a felony murder charge against Trump related to the events of Jan 6.”
No, just simply no.
It renders possible a sentence of death.
A new low.
“I didn’t want to do it, but just SEE what you made me do!”
Nobody can just “make” another do something they were not already predisposed to do. Encouragement is not coercion.
The law school at the University of Florida must be so proud.
He bought into the lies. He bought into the conspiracy theory.
%\
No.
That would be you Joe.
Your own lies and theories.
You’ve gone full-narrative
Never go full-narrative.
Joe Scarborough, so if you agree with Trump you get killed and if you disagree with Clinton you get killed. Got it.
“allegations of a deep state”
Edward Bernays, 1928:
“We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.”
“Chapters one through six address the complex relationship between human psychology, democracy, and corporations. Bernays’ thesis is that “invisible” people who create knowledge and propaganda rule over the masses, with a monopoly on the power to shape thoughts, values, and citizen response.”

What an IDIOT this guy Scarborough is.
IDIOT !!!
[CoughLoriCough]
Careful there. That cough sounds like you may be coming down with Klausitus.
Did the FBI hit the old guy over the head with a desk?
I bet Scarborough is just upset that he wasn’t invited to go along with the raid to watch the assassination. So, he does the next most fun thing: Blames it on Trump.
Right. Those “itis” maladies can be rough.
“Walter Lippmann (September 23, 1889 – December 14, 1974) was an American writer, reporter, and political commentator. With a career spanning 60 years, he is famous for being among the first to introduce the concept of the Cold War, coining the term “stereotype” in the modern psychological meaning, as well as critiquing media and democracy in his newspaper column and several books, most notably his 1922 Public Opinion.”
“In 1913, Lippmann, Herbert Croly, and Walter Weyl became the founding editors of The New Republic.”
“Lippmann coined the phrase “Great Society” in 1921”
“Lippmann was divorced by Faye Albertson to be able to marry Helen Byrne Armstrong in 1938 (died 16 February 1974), daughter of James Byrne. She divorced her husband Hamilton Fish Armstrong, the editor of Foreign Affairs. He was the only close friend in Lippmann’s life. The friendship and involvement in Foreign Affairs ended when a hotel in Europe accidentally forwarded Lippmann’s love letters to Mr. Armstrong.”

Are you still using that unregistered assault desk, Moe?
“stolen elections”
We know Democrats tried to steal the election. It is only a question of weather their efforts were needed or not. Given that they made the efforts, many will presume that they did indeed steal the election.
“It renders possible a sentence of death.”
Obviously they would like, that, and obviously they know they can’t push the Americans that far.
Nonsense. Bongonio has been playing audios of people calling for destruction and death. Rick Wilson on camera called for a bullet for Trump, and while he was president,and the FBI and Morning Joe did absolutely nothing.
TRump is also responsible for the death pf my Ir9sh Setter, he was chasing a car with a MAGA bumper sticker when he was hit by a truck.
