And now crazy James Woods has piped in.

James Woods dismisses suspected bomb sent to Clintons as an 'obvious political stunt'

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment...intons-obvious-political-stunt-170117861.html

These people have just lost their minds. While it is certainly possible that someone did this as a political stunt these were real bombs. It is vastly more likely that they were sent out of an intent to injure or threaten.

To say it is obviously some political stunt like Limbaugh and now Captain Insaneo here is just absolutely deranged.

Trumps' response just sounded disingenuous. Not that he supported the action, but as if he'd rather be golfing.

Just standard operating procedure for conservatives. It didn't happen and even if it did, we didn't do it. Even if we did, it isn't that bad. Even if it is that bad, fuck you, you're a liberal.

LOL at this:

The 71-year-old Casino star brushed off the incident as “an obvious political stunt,” saying no one cares enough about the Clintons to send them a bomb.

I mean really, is there anything conservatives talk about these days that isn't "the Clintons?" Not sure I've heard a conservative speak in the past 2 years without mentioning the Clintons.

OK that's a minor exaggeration.

The right is pathetically predictable. My first reply in this thread, which was the first reply in this thread, was all about false flag because I knew that’s what they would claim. It’s what they always clam. Democrats are evil and no one on their side is capable of ever doing anything like this. Ever. It’s the same bullshit with everything. They can’t equate that one person on their side being a shitty person doesn’t mean all of them would send bombs because it’s what they project in everyone who they don’t like or agree with every goddamn day.

Tribalism. Most of this right wing propaganda consists of constantly trotting out some bizarre isolated example of some liberal/Democrat acting badly as "proof" that "all liberals/Democrats are evil" (even if they can't find a single liberal/Democrats who agrees with the poor behavior in their isolated example), so for certain they can't possible let it slip that any conservative/Republican acted badly, because that would be proof that they're all bad.

People aren't individuals with the capacity for independent thought according to these Trumpers. To them, everyone is extremist on one side or the other. You're either with them or against them. Period.

Or he knows that acting United against violence is the only play. To do otherwise incites violence.
You want to use the crimes of one nutter to paint 100 million or more Americans as "the enemy". To ratchet up your rhetoric. That won't help if your goal is to avoid escalation.
Republicans have been whipping up hate against Soros, Clintons, CNN, Obama, Holder, Maxine Waters,etc for years. It's not both sides. Schumer should stop pretending it is and dragging the left into this.

He deleted that Tweet for one not batshit insane, just 3/4 there. I responded with the quote he cited.

Also funny how much anger and concern, anger, and Trump blaming there is here, yet that thread went a whole page before dying.


Yes, attempted mass murder is just so hilarious.


Almost every post you make here is false, hateful or divisive.


Could you possibly just try to maybe acquire a human soul, or is that asking too much?

No quite. Slow thinks mass murder of Democrats is funny.

I never watched him, but don't think one could if they wanted to any more. The left has silenced him.

Nobody has silenced him. Can he not afford a soap box? Can he not afford paper, envelopes and stamps? Has someone cut out his tongue so he can't speak? Has someone cut off his hands so that he can't write?

Jackass.

Coincidence? I think not. This story didn't get much play when it happened but in light of recent events... He used the phrase "enemy of the people". Where did that come from????
A California man was arrested and charged Thursday with making violent threats to Boston Globe employees, calling the newspaper the "enemy of the people," the U.S. Attorney’s office for Massachusetts said.

Robert D. Chain, 68, of Encino, California, was charged with one count of making threatening communications in interstate commerce, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. He is scheduled to appear in federal court in Los Angeles Thursday and be transferred to Boston at a future time.

Court documents say Chain made about 14 threatening calls between Aug. 10-22, in reaction to the Globe’s efforts to organize a coordinated response from newspapers across the country to President Trump’s repeated attacks on the media.

In those calls, Chain allegedly referred to the Globe as “the enemy of the people’’ and threatened to kill its employees. Trump has often used that phrase in lambasting the news media.

Well the fat fuck is blaming the media for the state of political incivility at his rally tonight. Apparently reporting what he says is the problem.

Trump praising a Republican Congressman for body slamming a reporter. Standards for the United States just go lower and lower

It's not all Trump, there are other fine GOP people out there.

The FBI arrested a man in Town of Madison, Wisconsin on Wednesday for “trying to buy radioactive material with the intent to kill someone,” local news station WKOW reports. Jeremy Ryan, 30, allegedly attempted to buy a “lethal dose of a radioactive substance” online between March and October 2018. The Town of Madison Police Department confirmed to The Daily Beast that the man arrested was the same Jeremy Ryan who lost the August Republican primary while running for Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District in the House of Representatives. Agents reportedly searched Ryan’s home, and officials said there was no danger to the public. Ryan’s alleged target was not identified by officials, and he reportedly faces up to a life sentence in prison.
