I think your partisanship is pretty well e stablished at this point, might as well embrace it

So I'm "partisan" because I see a pretty significant distinction between vandalism and domestic terrorism? C'mon dude, you're better than that. I'd be just as disgusted and worried for our country right now if those bombs had been mailed to GWB, GHWB, Paul Ryan, John Ashcroft, and Condi Rice. 

Give me a break.

Yeah, a little logic, when applied to a hyperpartisan conclusion with no facts can be a little bugger, cant it?

No you wouldn’t because you just had that opportunity a few weeks ago when suspicious packages were found sent to the White House and pentagon. Or when they were sent to trumps sons family. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t remember you posting a thread about any of that.

Apparently this moron is bipartisan? Or maybe it’s a different moron.

I don't spend my life glued to a television, and apparently missed those events as they happened. I do believe that other people posted about them here though, I seem to recall that the perpetrator was someone from Utah. But hey, I get it, I didn't post the thread about it, so that's proof that I don't care when things are directed towards Republicans.

I could certainly be the same person, but my money is on copycats at this point. That's what I thought when the reports about Wasserman Schultz and Kamala Harris came out earlier today. DWS was somewhat legit, as her address was the return address, while the Harris thing was completely unrelated and not an actual threat. 

I wouldn't be surprised if we hear of a number of copycat bombs or threats made over the next few weeks.

They arent hiding. Your statement is just so mindblowingly stupid theyve been rendered temporarily mute.

Funny thing is for someone not glued to your television you certainly don’t miss posting any stories negative about trump. 

Amazing isn’t it?

No shit. He watched the entire kavanaugh hearings, and posts every dumb tweet or comment from trump.

I get most of my news through random alerts from Twitter or my Apple News app. If I think it's significant, I'll post it here.

Thanks for proving our point. You or the news sources you follow don’t think it’s significant when stuff like this happens to Republicans.

The Apple News app gives me alerts from NPR, WSJ, WaPo, NYT, a few others, and then specific alerts when shit goes down like it did today. I didn't post anything about the stuff sent to the White House and others because other people had. Past that, I think that pipe bombs sent to two ex-presidents as well as one of the country's major cable news outlets far outstrips what could probably be considered a "normal" thing against the White House. Now, PLEASE NOTE, I'm not saying that any threats against the current President are in any way acceptable.  

Actually, for the record, I just looked it up on my phone... my Apple News app alerts me to major stories from:

• Top Stores (as defined by Apple News)
• NYT
• NPR
• WSJ
• WaPo
• BBC US
• CBS News
• FNC
• LA Times
• Wired
   

Like I also said, I have Twitter (through Tweetdeck) to alert me of major news events that occur.

It's hard to build up the kind of pressure you would need when you have holes on both ends for wires and your pipe is PVC.

Well you are going to use steel pipe and cap the ends if you are trying to do a pressure bomb.

Phucking baseball players were good athletes, used to piss me off.  We would do all the off season stuff, and they would show up like their soph and senior years the first day and still be good.  I agree that on my papeer they shouldnt be good athletes, but the three best football players I ever played with all played D1 baseball.  two of them played pro and fresno fans of the right age would know their names.

Civil disobedience does not equal violence. The same arguments were made when young black men dared to sit down at a Woolworth's lunch counter to negate their underlying message.  That being said, I oppose driving Republican lawmakers out of a restaurant.  It's not true civil disobedience and is counter-productive. 

Who said civil disobedience equals violence? You’re missing the point. Trump ripping the media and political opponents isn’t violence, either. Yet, the left is now saying he’s responsible for creating this kind of violence. Yet their rhetoric painting Trump as the biggest threat to the world and mankind makes Trumps rhetoric look like softly spoken little prayers to Jesus. That is the ultimate hypocrisy.
