Before Judge Aileen M. Cannon, the Trump appointee who so-called presided over the president’s so-called documents case, gaveled Routh down for incoherence, the defendant invoked Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putin, and the “need to be kind to one another.” Ah—the Hitler-Putin-kindness ideology. That explains everything.
It's frustrating that I agree with Cannon on anything.
Hmm. This is interesting news to say the least.
If he was as 'off-the-Right-Edge' as it implies, that could be troubling. But it does explain the sudden source of Facist and Nazi ideology upwelling from the Right. That sort of thing doesn't arise out of a vacuum and lack of influences.
I'm actually kinda relieved it was not someone who sincerely held Left-leaning ideals...anything that genuinely gives the Big Orange Idiot something to run his nonsense 'with and on' should be properly denigrated and chastised.
At least for now; it looks like the B.O.I. in office has egg on his face and he's scrambling to wipe it up; because the shooter is potentially far more extreme-right than even his own MAGA group is.

Insinuating Trump gives a flying fuck who the actual murderer is. After all the lies Trump has spread, I would not assume the truth would matter to him now.
While that may be true; it's still a relief; because he can only stretch a lie so far.
Eventually people who DO care will realize he's lying about the murderer's intentions or beliefs. That in and of itself puts egg on his face. Even if he is known to lie frequently and this is another one in the pile; it remains a lie. He cannot use the situation to truly legitimize his actions.
As his actions cannot be legitimized by this situation; it enables more people to realize that his actions overall are not good; and may permit them to muster the courage necessary to stand against his tyranny.

All evidence to the contrary. Those goalposts may as well be migratory.
