I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating that this most recent assassination attempt was fake. Why do people think this? I’m out of the loop.

        There’s probably a continuous polymarket net on Trump’s successful assassination. It’s starting to look inevitable, for either that award, or an Oscar.

        You’re as bad as a redcap, spreading disinformation because it “wouldn’t surprise you”

          Look into prediction markets and how they evaluate the outcome of bets, it’s all entirely manipulated by 0.01% of its users because you can literally buy the outcome. This is not only possible, it is staggeringly more likely than not.

          Some more news just did an episode on this shit, everybody should watch it. Prediction markets are just another way for the 0.01% to fuck everyone yet again.

        There is going to be polymarket bets on anything trump does tho. Bets on him saying certain words seems pretty run of the mill to me
