“Trump campaign spokesperson Tim Murtaugh expressed condolences for Parscale and his family in a statement while blaming Democrats and “RINOs” (Republicans In Name Only) for the incident.”

But of course. Personal responsibility is just another GOP unicorn.

Maybe some people shouldn’t have guns?

He couldn’t funnel money from Trump’s campaign into his pocket anymore and payments were coming due on his house, cars, boats, etc. He did not see an easy way to cover his lifestyle. I bet a few more Trumpers are in the same boat and Trump himself especially.

Was he overwhelmed with all-consuming guilt for his role in bringing the Trump Crime Family into the White House and now, unable to reconcile his actions with any shred of patriotism or basic morality, considered taking an easy way out?

I think he’s looking at how his future is likely to play out, and doesn’t want to be there.

I think he knows more is coming to light.

My first thought when I read this yesterday was, “oh, he’s so deep in the grift that he smells subpoenas, indictments and a long stint in Club Fed — without his Führer to offer him a pardon to shut him up…”

More importantly, are the guns safe?

Priorities, people, please!

Seriously, their response is, “Thanks, Obama and moderate Republicans?” That’s what they’ve got?

To Trumpsters “safety” means “home arsenal”.

Perhaps there are some legal proceedings that the general public are not aware of yet. Suicide is an attractive option when looking at 20+ years in Federal Prison.

Kind of telling, isn’t it. “We’d get away with all of this too - if it weren’t for those meddling kids.”

Trying to take the easy way out is the corrupt Conservative Movement’s creed. And this guy is certainly in a position to know how badly things are going for Trump and the entire ticket down the ballot, especially the Senate.

No doubt. And those other meddling kids who used to be cool. So many meddling kids these days.

He’s not dead, so no need to say nice things, right?

What leads someone wanting to commit suicide is beyond me and I don’t like to make light of someone’s misfortunes.

In Brad’s case I’ll make an exception.

Could it have been postpartum depression?
