WOW! Wray Says There Were At Least Two Instances Where FBI Officials Expressed Disappointment That Trump Survived Assassination Attempt | The Gateway Pundit
And we are supposed to believe that Trump would-be assassin Thomas Crooks acted alone?
FBI Director Christopher Wray appeared before the House Judiciary Committee on the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump.
On July 13 President Trump was grazed in the ear after a 20-year-old gunman named Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed on a roof and took several shots at Trump and rallygoers in Butler.
…
GOP Congressman Chip Roy (TX) asked Wray if any FBI agents expressed disappointment that Trump survived the assassination attempt.
“In 2015 and 2016 top FBI officials infamously texted about “their insurance policy to make sure Trump was never elected or inaugurated as president,” Chip Roy said referring to Lisa Page and Peter Strzok.
“Have any FBI agents texted, emailed or expressed disappointment that Trump survived the assassination attempt or otherwise editorialized about the assassination attempt?” Chip Roy asked Wray.
Wray said at least one FBI official has expressed disappointment that Trump wasn’t killed by the gunman.
“That individual has been referred to our inspection division,” Wray said.
Why wasn’t this person fired?

Linguists estimate that it takes about 1,000 years for a language to change enough that people at the beginning and end of the 1,000-year period can't at all understand each other. This holds with English—if you went back to the year 1024 AD and walked around England, you wouldn't understand what the hell anyone was saying because they'd be speaking Old English, which is really a very old version of German.
What's weird is that it also holds for the future. If you time machined to 3024 AD and (if somehow humans and countries are still around) walked around New York or London, you probably wouldn't be able to understand anything people said.
This process happens slowly enough that in any one lifetime, we don't really see it happening. But if you look closely, you see it. Think how confused a 1990 person would be if you asked them to help you find that lit meme about crypto podcasts everyone was posting on their insta stories. Or think about the terms and phrases your grandparents use that have gone out of style and no young person would ever use. Or even the slightly different ways old people and young people pronounce words. Now multiply this little bucket of differences by 20 and you have a totally different language.

Apart from adding a lot more words, the rate of change of English slowed down over the past ~500 years. Once literacy and books are widespread, I think that has a stabilizing effect.
But my son asked if English would be around in 4000 years and I said probably not.

Tsar Nicholas II

Tsar Nicholas II, the last of the Russian Czars, had a frightening experience with globular lightning as a child. He attended an all-night church vigil with his grandfather during a severe thunderstorm. The non-stop lightning and thunder shook the foundation of the church. A strong gust of wind blew out the candles in front of the icons at the altar. Then a brilliant light that looked like fire flew in through the window. The ball of light passed through the church and out a door into a nearby park.
Nicholas was terrified, but his grandfather showed no emotion. The demeanor of his grandfather calmed him, and he felt he shouldn’t have been so frightened. When he glanced at his grandfather and saw the smile on his face, he relaxed and never again had a fear of storms.
