Mandark got the link to that one article (I think it was wapo) that talked about how republicans regress every generation since the 60’s and that today’s republicans are a part of that legacy? Was posted a few weeks back.

Not sure which article you mean but if you remembered it in any better detail I could give a shot at chasing it down.

How many of those in the caravan are paid caravaners? Paid for by the koch brothers to scare grandma.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find out there are Russian Facebook posts that started it.


But I also believe that these caravans are actually not unusual. The trip is dangerous and there are a lot of criminals that try to take advantage of the migrants, so iirc they have been traveling in large groups for a while. Trump is just acting like this is unusual.

I suspect that there will be no mass caravan arriving at the us border, as I believe they tend to disperse over time.

The people might still show up, but not all in one big group.

Wasn't there a caravan earlier in the year that Trump was screaming about? I feel like I've heard the story before and eventually it ended up being mostly nothing and everybody forgot about it.

On another note it looks like another suspicious package was found at CNN headquarters.

So in the last 24 hours it seems explosives were sent to:

- Obama
- Hillary
- George Soros
- CNN

Quote
One former CFPB official said that only a small team of rule writers was working on the redrafted payday lending rule, an effort that is being led by Associate Director David Silberman, a Cordray-era holdover.

Finding CFPB employees to work on the rule has been difficult for the current leadership team. The bureau is not forcing holdovers from the Cordray-era to defang a rule that they spent years working on, and few, if any, such employees are volunteering to do so, the source said.

Many remaining staff have been asking “why would I want to do things to harm people?” the source said.

Something something deep state.

Apparently Wasserman Schultz was the name put on the return address of every package they have identified so far and the package that reached Shultz was originally designated for Eric Holder.

Also Kamala may have got one it seems.

“These terrorizing acts are despicable, and anyone responsible will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement that that referred to the senders as “these cowards.”

It's weird that they refer to them as cowards, it reads like it's implying "be a man and gun them down in person"

Also I kind of assumed the president is getting suspicious/dangerous packages mailed to them on a daily basis, every president, though I have no idea

And that never makes the news, because they wouldn't want to promote copycat activity

Is the news reporting these packages going to lead to further activity, sort of like the school shooting news cycle?  Is this being reported intentionally for that reason?  :thinking

Someone also mentioned that due to distance and delivery times and all that it takes quite some planning to have the devices delivered on the same day.
So either it was priority mail or whoever did it is right at the center of all the places it was send to  :thinking

This bomb seems to be wrapped around in an ISIS flag

Bill Maher basically lost his show on ABC for making that point, IIRC.

It was very popular post-9/11 to call terrorists cowards, I think because it implied a level of (feminizing) disrespect that you didn't get from calling them murderers, evil, etc.

why didn't any of the bombs go off

At this point I assume for the same reason the bomb was sent to "John Brenan" with a return address located in "Florids" inside any package that wasn't an Amazon box.....Sheer incompetence and idiocy that tends to be a prominent feature within the likely conservative mind of this bomber. :doge

Stro: The line from "respectable" Republicans is going to be that political violence is wrong in all forms and we must all return to civility and mutual respect. A few of them will get spicy and imply that Maxine Waters and the restaurant that sent away Sarah Sanders with a cheese plate are indirectly responsible.

Much like benji's boy Bill Buckley said it was too bad that Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, but after all what should we expect when he was encouraging people to disobey the law?
