OMFG
I called it!
They are not even TRYING. IT's not an honest mistake.
It's a bluff
The powder is harmless. It's not someone messing up, it's someone who is not TRYING to harm anyone.
This is for effect.
And it's probably a Democrat sending those who wants to give Dems a platform to score victim points, because it will just be buried post election.
I wouldn't jump anywhere close to that conclusion yet.
We just don't know who's behind it.
It's not a conclusion - it's a bet
Only that the bombs are rather incompetently made.
Ok. Fine, you can make bets.
Yes, and I will bet all my memes on this!
MUHAHAHAHAAH!
We shall see. I fully expect the secret service and FBI are already all over this.
Yes, as long as it's convenient, I'm sure.
Then, it gets memory holed, like Paddock.
No, you're talking about a threat to several major political figures.
If it's something that's convenient for the Democrat narrative, we can't keep it out of the news cycle, like that Hogg sperg.
The FBI is investigating. Now if they actually turn up anything, or if the media actually reports on what they find may be another story.
If it's bad for Dems, it's gone within 24 hours.
Right ...
Juust like how things that are bad for the GOP get lost in the right-wing media space.
Also from your own linked article "As these conspiracies spread, liberal voices were just as quick to pin the blame on Republicans, without knowing anything about the bomber's identity or motives"
also a package was sent to the white house but i guess no one wants to talk about that
Apparently that was #fakenews
There was a retraction on that.
womp womp
ooga booga
Well this is interesting. Apparently Republicans (76%) and Democrats (44%) are more satisfied with American Democracy than independents (39%). Also interesting, the institution the Democrats trust most: *Amazon.*
Largest partisan gaps are The Executive Branch, Religion, Banks (right more trusting) and the Press, Universities and the FBI (left more trusting).
Also, the left dislikes "major companies" but has alot more faith in Google than the right.

The amazon results are a little weird. I'm not sure how to parse that.
Except to say that apparently you can crush your competition and get several times larger than Walmart and the left...will..apparently... What is GOING ON with this world?
The question must have been worded weird or something.
44% of Dems are satisfied with the state of democracy in the US? that's more than expected, but still low
funny how they love Google and Amazon :P
The company that knows everything about you and crushes all their competition by making sure no one learns of them and the company that has actually gotten 3x bigger than Walmart, treats their workers even worse and made local governments grovel and beg for HQ2.
Somehow both are more trustworthy for your average left-of-center voter than your average business.
It's just...so weird.
i wonder what how the question was phased about amazon
like is the confidence in said business just a matter of if you think it will fail or succeed
because i don't think anybody here is expecting amazon to fail, not a matter of liking it or not
