One of Piggy's puppet masters? Some MAGAt? Some "journalist?"

everything is screaming headlines.

and.. what a ripe opportunity for a staged attempt...

I am often skeptical about posting their links, but given the reality TV show on steroids that is tonight, I won’t rule anything out with the lunatic and his posse.

They have morphed into the worst of everything they once hated about mainstream media. I can't stand them.

From Stuart Dowell: "A Washington Post investigation reports that Russian intelligence operatives discussed staging a fake assassination attempt on Viktor Orbán to boost his election campaign."

"In an internal SVR document, the plan was described as a 'Gamechanger' that would shift the campaign from policy to emotion."

"The report also details the depth of Hungary’s links with Moscow. One European official said foreign minister Péter Szijjártó provided Sergei Lavrov with 'live reports' during EU meetings. It also outlines how energy deals and intermediaries in gas trading generated large profits for figures close to Orbán.
The Kremlin dismissed the report as disinformation."

Propped up by a choreographed late 1980's TV corporatist political conglomerate.
Bond Movie stuff.
So, quarterly planned failed assassination attempts are on the Bingo Card.

Just do it already.

They’re just trying to increase ratings and engagement, and, it’s dumb.
