Secret Service kills man trying to enter Mar-a-Lago

[whatntarnation]

Hopefully the administration's and right wing media's cruel dehumanizing of their mentally ill family member will make them question their support of MAGA.

Well I aint gonna lie and say that he sounds like a major loss for humanity. I realize that statement makes me a horrible human but thats where I am.

That feels like a bit much. From my early read of things he sounds like a shy guy who was probably easily manipulated. The special interest in drawing golf courses is also so niche that I wonder if there is some neurodivergence going on.

Yeah and I said I am not proud of where I am, but I am also not going to run from it. This current phase of our existence has sapped me of any ability to have basic human empathy for those who support this administration. I hate it and I hate myself for it but I am not going to pretend it isn’t there.

I wouldn't state it as fact, but there's definitely reason to believe it was political.

State the reason.

Sources who worked with Austin at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club in North Carolina tell TMZ … he became fixated on Epstein following the latest release of information tied to the files. Co-workers tell us he was deeply disturbed by what he believed was a government cover-up and often talked about powerful people “getting away with it.”

He was trying to sneak into Mar-A-Lago (and doing a pisspoor job of sneaking), because he wanted to burn the black ink off the redacted documents.

I do a poor job of keeping track of right-wing, MAGAt Trumplicans. And, I usually don’t bother to google them.

Which leaves his popularity, power, presidency and his politics as possibilities.

don't overlook the possibility he was conned by one or more of Trump's scams...

Who is Nick Sortor?

A failed real estate agent in KY. Seriously. I looked him up a couple years ago because Ramrouser or Callatoroy kept posting from his Xitter account.

It seems he also dabbles in assault, harassment, and drunk driving.

State the reason.

Because he drove a significant distance, picking up a gun along the way, to go to the President's house?

He was a Trump supporter

Yeah. He wanted to give Trump a house warming. A lot of people in the South celebrate by firing a shotgun in the air on special occasions like that. You can even do that where fireworks are illegal.

Throw in child porn/sex with minors & he’d have hit for the Republican cycle.

That doesn't mean his actions weren't politically driven.

I've only read that he came from a family of Trump supporters. Is there something new that shows he was a Trump supporter?

All I know is that there is likely a less rational motive to this than even the lack of rationality behind "normal" political terrorism. I fully expect that he has something like a bipolar disorder and there's no telling what the voices in his head were saying to him. It's surely not a rational attempt with even the slightest hope of any success. If anything should be questioned about this, it's why someone didn't see what was happening with him, especially his family.

I agree with this.
