Fidel Castro died of natural causes. Saddam had to be physically captured. They never got Assange OR Snowden.
The Feds actually kinda suck at assassinations.
This is a really important point to hammer home.
Yes, the feds are legitimately terrifying to have as an enemy, and if you ever end up being seen as a serious threat by them, never become overconfident or complacent.
BUT, also don't think of them as being like literal supervillains with supernatural powers and plot armor. Yes, they're extremely dangerous, but they're not invincible. And tbf, because they know that Americans by and large no longer acknowledge their moral legitimacy, the best they can do to manufacture consent at this point is to convince the public that they're omnipotent and omniscient.
We are also 8 years into TDS.
The chance of a random Leftie being psychotic enough to shoot him far and away outweights the Feds sending someone. By a lot.
Why not both? Feds can always whisper into a leftoid's ear about a sniper rifle hidden in an unlocked book depository.
While true, I think there is still a gap between their actual agents doing it and some retard doing it because he has been so mind broken that he thinks he should.
agreed, though it's not like the feds didn't try to egg it on. several leftist politicians have been spouting rhetoric about putting Trump in a bullseye and similar statements. meanwhile, apparently secret service was asking for more resources and was denied by the DHS. someone away from the rally even saw the shooter setting up and alerted secret service, which did not act on the tip at the time.
JFK? MLK?
Even if you believe the feds were involved in both of those, they aren't the only people that the feds have attempted to get. It seems like they have a 60% success rate.
