I'm kicking myself for not owning tin foil stock.<br /><br />@James Daily- The information I've seen is confusing; the guy claims to be native American but seemingly has no proof of it (question: was Elizabeth Warren's DNA test the last straw for this nutbag?). As for the bombs, I'd really like to know if they were viable in any way, or just intended to scare. Ask yourself this: why would he bother including envelopes of harmless powder if he thought they'd be blown to smithereens? Since the powder was intended only to scare, doesn't it make it likely that this was also the intent with the "bombs?" I don't know, and am eager to find out.<br /><br />@Fish Out of Water- In my opinion, one should never assume conspiratorial sophistication when stupidity could explain the same event.<br /><br />@Judi King- Sorry, but I think that's wishful thinking on your part. My money is on this guy really <i>being</i> that stupid and crazy.<br /><br />@Geoff King- Deep breaths. Those collages appear to have all been a single decal of some sort (one in each window) with the individual images put together in photoshop by someone. The top image on Drudge Report at the moment is the guy wearing a t-shirt with exactly the same collage of images that can be seen on one of the windows of his van. Both were probably custom printed for this moron. As far as "no fading" goes, I think you're (understandably) grasping at straws. It's perfectly possible to get auto graphics with UV protection coating these days.<br /><br />@Judi King- Do we really know the bomb in Soros's mailbox wasn't put there by the post office? I haven't seen evidence one way or the other yet. Plenty of speculation...but not actual evidence.<br /><br />@Easygo- Christmas has come early for the Lefty media agitators. Even though they tend to be offended by the word "Christmas."<br /><br />@John the Econ- You make a convincing case that, despite the increase in volume, the shrieking news harpies on the Left really won't be adding anything new to their attacks nor convincing anyone to change their minds. And I've no doubt that you're right about more shenanigans happening before election day. Politics is theater now. Grand Guignol, to be specific.<br /><br />@Velveeta Processed Cheese Food- Sadly, Trump didn't <i>quite</i> fail to stick his foot in his mouth. He cast some blame for the bomber on the media, which suggests that the bomber wasn't just acting on his own, but rather was influenced by <i>someone</i>. By categorizing the events as such, he left himself on the board as a possible playing piece. And wow, I admire (but don't share) your belief that the MSM won't hang this guy on Trump's neck because he's such an obvious whackjob.<br /><br />@Anonymous- You're going to get no argument from me about which party <i>really</i> calls for violence...and gets it.<br /><br />@zregime- We should not only vote, we need to encourage others to do the same!<br /><br />@valvenator- I don't disbelieve all accusations of conspiracy; unquestionably there was (and continues to be) a high-level conspiracy to thwart Trump's Presidency via the Russian nonsense and intelligence agency complicity. But in the case of the bomber, I'm not buying into any Illuminati scenarios.<br /><br />@REM1875- There are a couple of Beto signs in my neighborhood, and they make me grit my teeth. Refreshingly, there are FAR more American flags than Beto signs in that same neighborhood. And tellingly, no house has both.<br /><br />Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-9135652860830224092018-10-27T09:15:00.084-05:002018-10-27T09:15:00.084-05:00Fish, you are correct.

Yet she carried the state, as the blue counties of Northern Virginia, the area around Richmond and oddly the area around Norfolk(military) went for her. <br /><br />Likewise for our Gubernatorial election of last year. The now democratic governor won on the strength of pretty much the same counties<br /><br />What I believe the democrats have realized they only need concentrate on heavier populated mostly blue leaning parts of my state and I suspect yours as well and they couldn't care less, don't need to even passively campaign in the rest of the state.<br /><br />This is very disturbing when one considers future implications locally and nationally, a de facto one party country. To put it another way, what the country is faced with and will not acknowledge is we now have the Baker vs Carr situation in reverse, with political power overwhelmingly tilted towards the urban areas.<br /><br />Personally, I believe its time to consider redrawing state lines to restore balance. For example, going with what I know, the Northern Virginia counties should be broken off and joined with the suburban counties of Maryland, all the way up to and past Baltimore, as a new entity, with Maryland's western counties melded into either Pa or WV, and the MD counties east of the Chesapeake Bay and the two VA counties on the peninsula joined with Delaware.Fish Out of Waterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04729449106447506298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-47721429923176439132018-10-27T02:11:47.366-05:002018-10-27T02:11:47.366-05:00I voted earlier today ....My brother and wife won&...I voted earlier today ....My brother and wife won't say who they voted for but I told em if they voted for Beto they were off the island ...since they were unfazed I guess they did not vote for Beto...<br /><br />County says more people voted already that we usually get in a Presidential election !!!<br /><br />Not a lot of Beto signs up here in Rural Far North Texas ...as a matter of fact I didn't even see a single one !!!REM1875https://www.blogger.com/profile/04847984055699795355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-10362028250335766322018-10-26T21:30:01.080-05:002018-10-26T21:30:01.080-05:00@ Anonymous said...

I don't think so. This will be basically the media doubling-down on Hillary's <i>"deplorables"</i> narrative. And just how well did <i>that</i> work? If anything, it energized the right.<br /><br />So for the next week and a half, the MSM is going to be equating <i>everyone</i> who refuses to conform to the entirety of the Progressive agenda as a friend of this loser. Sure, the volume will be higher and the tone more shrill, but will it really be any worse than what they've been trying to do for the last 2 years? Seriously. <i>Can their slandering of conservatives really get much lower than they already are?</i><br /><br />The reality is that the vast majority of political violence in America over the last century has been a product of the left. The difference is while conservatives would like these people put down, <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-1960s-radicals-ended-up-teaching-your-kids" rel="nofollow">Progressives forgive them and later reward them with comfortable, well-paid and influential positions of power</a>.<br /><br />It's the left is becoming unglued because they are watching their power that they've spent decades building up slip away. Academia has largely been exposed as a fraud. The middle class finally clued into the fact that the Democrats have been at war against them. Many of the poor are figuring out they'll never get the life they want on the dole. Every gambit to delegitimize Trump has fallen flat in time. They lost bigly on Kavanaugh, which exposed their contempt for the most basic tenets of justice and law which they were happy to throw to the wind for what they assumed would be victory. Now they've lost the Supreme Court for a generation as well.<br /><br />So buckle up folks. There's still a bit over 10 days left until election day. You think <i>this</i> is going to be the last thing that goes down with so much to lose?

Please, folks - after all these years, Occam's Razor is still as sharp as ever.<br /><br />So- did he just intend to scare all of these high-profile Dems with devices designed not to work, or does he just suck (fortunately) at bomb making?
