Probably, but this country wasn't a rogue nation until more recently.
Recall that John F. Kennedy almost brought us to nuclear war, that he betrayed the mafia that helped him get elected, that he actively worked to prevent Israel from getting nuclear weapons, and that his family made their money rum running during prohibition.
He had a lot of enemies, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised that he was killed by the US intelligence agencies (in fact, he probably was), this country wasn't entirely corrupt back then. It sure is now.

They killed Kennedy 56 years ago.

Obviously, it is ORANGEMANBAD himself placing the bricks, or Russians under his orders. DUH!
richwicks saysIt's because it's the government that is placing the bricks.
Any evidence?

There's a reason none of the people doing the setup to do the riots NEVER get arrested.
And I'm doubtful the intelligence agencies are doing this for Trump's benefit. The intelligence agencies are doing what I've been wanting to do for about 20 years - discrediting themselves and their propagandist apparatus also know how the "mainstream media".
This is what happens when you only hire neppots and and have a leadership whose only feature if that they are ruthless and corrupt - but not competent.
Russian collusion was so hamfisted, so inept, so incompetent sometimes I have to wonder if the whole point wasn't to solidify Trump's hold on power. But they also do stupid stuff all the time. The Skirpal's - remember them? Assad kept gassing his own population just in time to give the US an excuse to bomb Syria when they ran out of excuses. Iran kept placing limpet mines, on the ships of their allies.
They are like the population is super gullible, we don't even have to tell a credible lie".

But now we know that it's important not to use their loaded terms at all, but to make them say our words.

I'm starting a counter movement.

I'm so glad I chose a stem field. Should be pretty easy competition from here on out.

I'm a tenth grade drop out. Did trade work for ten years of my adult life. Did a Tile job for a Computer refurb company right as Windows 95 came out, and the guy talked me into taking half cash, and half in a computer set up.
I had no idea I would have knack for it that festered into an obsession to know every nook and cranny of Windows 95, NT, 2000, XP and I gave up on following the OS every minutia at that point. And had no idea I could comprehend complex Computer algorithms and could pick up any programming language I picked up the Documentation for.
As much as I surprised myself with my hidden talent, I was more surprised that 80% of every person I ever met that had a some form of Computer Science degree, had Zero applied knowledge, or the knack to comprehend how and where to apply their knowledge to solve problems. Most could pick code apart and tell you syntax errors fine. They just couldn't create a domain model and convert Software requirements to Code worth a fuck.

Someone better explain to her right quick that:
1. she is fucking with next year's funding for the "inequality commission"
2. half the point of the "inequality commission" is to divide the public and get them all fighting each other
Sheesh.
