"If you chart it out, it’s an escalation, is what I’m saying. So what’s next, after trying to put you in prison for the rest of your life? That’s not working. Don’t they have to kill you now?”

From the party of "every accusation is a confession," I find this chilling.

Putin may be losing his grip, but I'm sure he still have a number of efficient assassins on staff. It is possible Prigozhin wasn't on the plane, but it would be hard for him to retain power if he couldn't even show himself. And if he were going to hide from Putin, why take so long to do it? I'm not sure we'll ever know what really happened.

I'll say this much for Carlson's theory: if I wrre Trump, I'd think twice about visiting Russia anytime soon.

"Prigozhin ran the Russian troll farm that helped Putin steal the 2016 election for Trump. "

Is funny coincidence - troll activity on Flipboard not so active of late. Is quiet this week in particular, da?

Treasonous former hotdog vendor killed in plane crash. Nothing to see here.

wouldn't Putin himself have about a billion more reasons to be the one to deplane Trump than Biden? like what would Biden get out of that? a possibly more difficult election with a new candidate? whereas Putin gets out of having to deal with or have concern about Trump and what he might do. Putin gets literal decades of fun stoking "Deep State Democrats Assassinated Trump!" conspiracies and all the associated division that would cause.

Doesn't that bootlicking child, Ramaswamy, have that in the bag? You know, to bring in the MAGA Hindu vote.

Trump will never share the limelight with someone who has his own following. Also, the guy is not white.

“I think. I think the closer you look — I’m not a conspiracy person at all. I believe everything I hear.” But he wasn’t done. He smiled momentarily. “But yeah, I mean the closer you look into it …”

Ummmm...yeah, that kinda says it all, doesn't it? "I'm not a conspiracy person at all. I believe everything I hear."

Doesn't believing EVERYTHING you hear kind of AUTOMATICALLY make you a conspiracy person, or AT LEAST a MAGAt?

Not necessarily, but believing everything you hear does make you kind of an idiot.

Does anyone know if this is a record number of Darwin Awards given out for a single event?

'Cause anyone who flew on a plane with Prigozhin was up for an award.

I've never seen a plane fall out of a high-rise like that one.

Yes, he would be up for that award, IF he (Prigozhin) was ever on that plane. They also do the body-double crap. Either way, someone IS Potato.

If anything Trump should worry about Putin taking him out. You think he wouldn’t take him out if he thought it would create political chaos in the US?

Too much of a risk to Putin to do so. No US government will stand for a major politician being murdered by a foreign power, even one as crooked as Trump.

But it might be hard to prove and that would be a problem. Besides, the right would immediately blame Joe Biden, not Putin.

There is no way that Trump can die that will not be blamed on the Democrats. He could be gunned down by Ron DeStantis on live TV, and they'd blame Biden.
