All over here and the Facebox...
Oct 25, 2018, 8:04 AM
|
|
Seems all the Trumpies are absolutely convinced the pipe bombs were sent by Dems to influence the election.
Can someone enlighten me on this or point me to some evidence?
Because I like to apply Occam's Razor to these situations: When people get terrible packages in the mail for political reasons, it's the work of a lone nut job. Like how the Ricin packages were the work of a lone leftist nut job. Or the guy who shot up the baseball game was just a nut job.
Here's what I really think: Y'all know it's a Trumpie but you don't want to admit that someone in your ranks is capable of doing something like this.
Why are Trumpies so prone to conspiracies? Like the ones who think the Parkland school shooting was a government conspiracy?
Please. Explain to me like I'm 5 how this is all a conspiracy.

Whether he's a "Trumpie" or a "Dem"

means exactly the same as whether he is wearing boxers or briefs.
It means absolutely nothing.

100 percent sure? Of course not. Not like y'all are that they're fakes.

Bomb sent to Deniro. The person who said "fk Trump" into the microphone on national TV. They're walking this closer and closer to the President....two weeks before an election. All bomb recipients have something in common.

Following idle speculation with idle speculation?
Oct 25, 2018, 8:49 AM
|

Reasonable people don't start drawing conclusions without art supplies. Yeah, I saw the speculation and dismissed it as just that. The guy who originated the concept was on Ingraham's show last night. He suggest it might be a dem but definitively said it was not possible to know. That leaves us right where we started.
They speculate then you speculate. You wouldn't let me get away with something like that.

Is at least labeled speculation. And I'm erring on the side of the likeliest scenario.
Trumpies today are stating this is a liberal conspiracy as if it's fact.

Oh, it was your opinion. You're a mind reader? "Y'all know it's a Trumpie..."
I've never had my mind read but I'd bet a beer that you know what I'm thinking right now.

See? It happens.
Ugh...I wonder what this kid is up to these days. What a doofus.
Seriously though, I agree. The irony of the “it was a Dem” tactic, without proof, is that you are actually showing your hand that if it is a Conservative, you think that somehow says something about your political allies. For the most part, it does not. This guy (or girl) is a wacko regardless of the lever he (or she) pulls in early November.

Evidence is proof.
Posting a completely unrelated incident does not constitute evidence or proof.
Trumpies are arguing this is a liberal plot as if it is a proven fact. It is not, and unlikely at that.

to be honest, either the guy doing it is a moron, or this is all for show. I mean does anyone really expect that a pipe bomb inside of an envelope would ever actually get to these people?

Especially when the envelope doesn't have a postage mark which means it couldn't have gone through a mail sorting facility. It was likely dropped off by hand.

we do not know what we do not know, although lot of people sure can fill in the blanks. But I agree that this appears to be for show, but I can also agree that it is a terrorist act that should be taken seriously.

Bomb making isn't new...Pretty easy to get instructions on bomb making these days. I'm sure if the bomber wanted them to explode at least one would have. Either they just want to scare the heck out of folks or they are trying to divert attention to something other than the obvious.

from the Gamecock board, who then uses that post as evidence that all SC fans are ignorant.
THAT's really where we are now. Folks on the right find the most inflammatory thing stated by a lefty and assume all liberals are like that. Folks on the left zero in on some crazy thing a conservative has said - and lumps other conservatives in with the crazy person.
THAT's where we are now as a country...and you're now part of the problem.

But thus far, that's all I'm seeing from the Trumpies (not from conservatives... again, there's a difference). I will say ClemsonTiger1988 is an exception to this.
But that is the talking point they're running with whether you like it or not. Those of us who don't do that are being overshadowed by this fringe group. No, sir, I'm not one of those. Your assumption here is, sorry, a dumb one. Doesn't make you dumb. Just your assumption.
So no, I'm not part of that problem, and I politely encourage you to kindly #### off with that wrong opinion.

Yep. I don't like when people make such false assumptions and fail to read my other posts which take a lot of care not to label all conservatives or liberals on one group. The reaction from the Trump fanatics is what I'm addressing, and Ford summed it up well.
You made a bad assumption about my post and an even worse characterization of who I am and how I treat people of varying political beliefs. But I admit I offer no quarter to Trump fanatics as it's now becoming beyond absurd with them.

seemed to be lumping a bunch of folks into one pile based on the actions and words of a few.
I say "seemed" but in fact, you "were".
Admit it - you're getting worked up because of a few fringe conspiracy theorists. That's what both sides do; that's what the media does; that's the problem. And you're jumping in with both feet - in this thread anyway.
I'm not going to seek out your other posts to see if I'm unfairly judging you.

No, apparently you haven't. And you shouldn't have been surprised at the clap back response.
It's not a "few" fringe conspiracy theorists. It's a lot of them. And it's coming from the ones who are head over heels for Trump. Doesn't mean someone who is a conservative or a traditional GOPer.
I'm not asking you to seek out the other posts. What would be the point? But you are wrong in your assessment, and we'll just leave it at that.

and I think you're jumping the gun on Catahoula. He's talking about the vocal Trump supporters on here and not generally saying that anyone who like Trump thinks the left is trying to blow itself up to win the election.

I'm wondering if the 1st one to Soros was real, and the rest are fakes to garner attention.
The bomb sent to CNN was clearly a fake. Envelope shows clearly that it wasn't mailed. Likewise, the bomb is wrapped in aluminum foil. There is no detonating primer either. The wiring on the CNN bomb is also off. To explain in a nutshell, the wiring shows inconsistency with other real pipe bombs and suggests the wires arent connected to anything. The circuitry makes zero sense.
Given that CNN has been caught in blatant lies over the past 3 years and is having some serious financial struggles due to record low viewers, I would not be surprised if someone at CNN decided to make a copycat to create a story. It would be very easy to do, and CNN has the motive.
CNN for the past 2 years has been running the "President Trump is hostile to journalists! He's encouraging violence, oh someone stop this before we precious innocent reporters get hurt!"
*CNN makes their own fake bomb and runs a story on it*
CNN: "SEE! ow we are getting BOMBS! It's Trumps fault for his violent rhetoric!"
