Also to CNN and to Soros, whose first name escapes me is George and I totally knew that.

Soros, whose first name escapes me.

George.

[conuly]

Huh, it didn't escape me after all, I just figured it was 50/50 not it.

[silailo]

And already people are putting on their tinfoil hats.

[wendelah1]

That's despicable. Until they catch them, I'm afraid the terrorists will just keep trying.

[dewline]

Unsurprising. Anger-inducing, but unsurprising. There is Promoganda to be believed, after all.

[dewline]

There was a discussion on CBC News tonight, and one of the panelists - I wish I could remember the name of this former CSIS agent - was suggesting this was intended more as intimidation than anything else. I could believe that as being as likely as a screw-up on the bomb-makers' part.

May the would-be bombers be caught and soon, please.

I'm pretty sure it's only terrorism if the perp is Arab. This was done by a random lone wolf. Totally different

[marahmarie]

None of this is even the lone wolf version. I'm sure Trump is all smiles ear to ear, could not be happier, that this is His Kind Of Man/Men/whoever did it.. I bet he starts tweeting soon in support of Moar Bombs on Democrats You're Crazy To Vote For and any of their connected ilk. At this point that and much worse would barely even shock me at all.

I'm pretty sure we're all living in dystopian fiction.

[gwydion]

Republicans are already screaming "False Flag." Sigh. Meanwhile, 45 is attacking the victims as they are all on his enemies list.

[silveradept]

Do we want to take bets on how this will be spun? I'm guessing not domestic terrorism, but real patriots trying to drain the swamp, "very fine people", and so forth.

[author_by_night]

Yeah.... :/

[peristaltor]

Hmmm… what was it JFK said about what happens when peaceful revolution is impossible?

[conuly]

It's too bad that they're the dipshits with all the guns. (Of course, most of them are more of a danger to themselves than anybody else, see "dipshit", but still.)

[conuly]

You must not have seen my sarcasm tag.

[conuly]

I'm, unfortunately, even more sure we're living in dystopian reality.

[marahmarie]

There was a sarcasm tag? *squints* I not only agree with what you said in all its sarcastic glory, I think he'd be just as happy to actively encourage such things via his Twitter/rallies/while speaking to random left or right media. I'm actually surprised he isn't. One day I'm positive he will. And I'm not even being sarcastic.

[marahmarie]

How it was ultimately spun: False flag from the left, of course, to garner sympathy and drive up votes. What else does the left ever do, right? How the Oval Office orange spun it: all the non-right wing media's fault - for not showering constant praise upon him. So of course they have to bomb everyone now cuz their feels are all hurt - as always with this orange, perfectly logical.

[marahmarie]

The North and South went through the same thing hundreds of years ago. Eventually the North armed their reps and senators and got good at duels and fistfights just to attend Congress and even more eventually managed to figure out guns and artillery well enough to wage and win a war. It shouldn't have to come to that but just saying, I'm sure the left can figure out guns if it has to. Desire to own a gun or use it being zero doesn't equate to being unable to do it just as well as them or better!

[notasupervillain]

That makes more sense. I'd noticed a distinct lack of narrative arcs. Or love triangles.

[peristaltor]

I've got gun-toting friends that (though a bit dipshitty on some issues) quite progressive. There's hope yet!

[peristaltor]

Nah. We're all children of Satan, all coddled in his fiery embrace.

The US Dem Party is merely the corporate arm of the confused progressives, aka Republican-Lite. And Barack was my favorite Republican president so far!

[conuly]

And complaining that this is in the news above his daily tweets!
