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.
But they are definitely investigating.
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.
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
I will say I trust Amazon to get me my 24 hour packages reliably 😉
*We asked respondents to indicate their level of confidence in 20 U.S. institutions.
The military, Google, and Amazon universally inspire a great deal of confidence. Political parties, Congress, and Facebook inspire low levels of confidence.
However, several stark differences in confidence in institutions emerge between respondents based on partisan affiliation.*

@pratel have you seen the xray photo? The bomb sent to cnn wasn't just incompetently made. There is zero chance that a person would tape down wires attached to nothing for anything other than aesthetic purposes.
Oh yeah, I was commenting on it with Atkins.
It was mindbogglingly bad.
It made some of those joke ones look legit
