Donald Trump

I'd put that in the extremely unlikely territory yeah, but I wouldn't rule out a false flag attack.

Again, anything is possible at this stage and we should await further info.

The one theory I've seen which makes sense is that all of the targeted individuals seem to have been involved in the Iran nuclear deal to a significant degree. But as earlier, it's too soon to really give anything any credence.

I agree that it is too early to judge the specifics of this attack but I do note that in between much protestation that it’s too early to give anything any credence you have advanced 1) It may be a false flag. 2) It may have something to do with the Iran nuclear deal and 3) You have seen something with an ISIS flag on it.

Are we going to aim for a few more whilst claiming it’s too early to judge? :)

The amount of partisan terrorist attacks appears to be on the rise. Any fair minded American should be extremely worried about this and personally seek to temper their own partisan reactions.

It won't happen but that's what should. Even extremists and partisans believe themselves to be reasonable. It's always the other side with the problem.

More false equivalency!

And, Trump goes on spouting his bullshit, as opposed to being Presidential for ONE FUCKING DAY!!
Imagine if these things would have made it to their destination and gone off??

America is looking more like a third world country with every passing day. Where are the adults ON THE RIGHT who are going to decry this terrorism? I thought they were all united against that? Instead, you get Trump giving some milquetoast pseudo-condemnation, then getting right back to it at a campaign event, telling people Tammy Baldwin is a socialist who is.....

Disgusting.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Can we not at least agree that it's insanity to suggest Soros & co. Sent themselves the bombs?

Well, it appears it isn’t insane amongst some of the insane, but to the rest of the world the notion that people would send themselves a bomb through the mail, so that they could send some other bombs to people with whom they politically agree is THE FUCKING HEIGHT OF INSANITY!

The bar for “nothing would surprise me” gets lowered every fucking day by some of the morons on the right.

Well he was a registered Democrat all of his life and then became a registered Republican a couple of months before sending them, so who knows?

The guy who shot at the GOP senators playing baseball and the guy who wanted to suicide bomb the Trump speech were probably not Trump supporters. I'd say that with some confidence.

So you're confident that the guy who shot at Republican senators wasn't a Trump supporter. But you're not confident that whoever sent bombs to anti-Trump people is a Trump supporter?

 

[BobKowalski]

Mentioning something exists isn't the same thing as giving things credence you moron.

Tsk. I see you are adhering to your cherished scientific standard of objectivity with the use of *checks notes* ‘Name Calling’.

I’m guessing it’s the same objectivity that calls for rigorous adherence to the facts whilst simultaneously floating competing theories for the attacks including ‘seeing a pic of a bomb with an ISIS flag on it that’s knocking round the internet’ topped off with a bit of ‘what about those beans sent to Trump’.

If only someone would invent a word for this.

 

[Damocles]

So you're confident that the guy who shot at Republican senators wasn't a Trump supporter. But you're not confident that whoever sent bombs to anti-Trump people is a Trump supporter?

Because we know who shot at the GOP senators and what reasons he had, whereas we do not yet know the reasons for these bombs nor who sent them.

This really isn't rocket science.

 

[arfurclue]

Again, mentioning that a theory exists is not giving credence to those theories. This is also really simplistic shit that you appear to.be struggling with.

Oh and the picture wasn't a fake FYI. There was a makeshift ISIS flag on one of the devices.

And you're a moron because you don't seem to understand the basic idea that you don't know something until you know something, yet again.

Despite what you and partisan Muppets like ChicagoBlue think, requiring evidence for allegations and follow basic principles of science and logic is never going to make me the Trump supporting alt right apologist that you and others have consistently tried to frame me as in order to produce a chilling effect.

Reality isn't negotiable or split across party lines.

Now as an administrator of the site, I don't have the ability to block you without banning you from threads so maybe you can save everyone the fucking tedium of this if you were just to block me and move on because my patience to interact with you has reached the absolute bottom. Either way I'm done with you, the methodology of how we do this will be left up to you. I suggest you block rather than lose access to the forum for what is a one person problem.

Just wow. Threatening to ban people pretty much because they don't follow your way of seeing things? Whilst barely being able to write a sentence that is not abusive in nature? Ok, guess you might end up banning me also - 'don't follow your rules, you have a hissy fit, I get banned' is the order of the day it would seem. Yet I am aware that following logic,as you claim I should, has a pretty limited capacity for dealing with tempestuous emotions. So I get to treat people like shit time and again or I have to leave the forum, is effectively the choice being given. I don't know but maybe you might want to question whether what you have written elsewhere is being used as a 'shield' to try and protect a way of thinking that does't really work. Or does this make me a partisan, thick, snowflake, muppet?

If you're that worked up about it you should resign as an admin and then you can block whoever you like rather than threatening to pursue a personal grievance via your powers as an admin.

I see Trump has blames the media for the attacks and they should tone their language down...

Of course it has nothing to do with him , the rhetoric he uses or the polarised, hostile environment he creates. Next he will be suggesting media outlets be shut down. Or banned. Always a popular option for people in power if they don’t like the tune that is playing.
