Seems very quiet here about the bombs

#1 Post by a1mamacat » Wed Oct 24, 2018 11:02 am

the difference between protesting to chase someone out of a restaurant, and sending them a bomb seems to directly correlate to the overt approval of your president supporting violence of his supporters.

What about shooting politicians playing softball? Or shooting cops in the back of the head while filling up their patrol car? Or shooting cops while they are protecting those protesting against them?

And who here has approved of Trump supporting violence?

Not in the least. Never implied it did. My "whatabouts" were targeted to Saucie's relating these attacks to those of us who support many things about Trump (but not what she implies we approve of) and that we must "approve" of these by association.

She's being a turd (to be polite).

No one here has approved of Trump supporting violence, but at least one member of this Bored has opined repeatedly that the real danger we face is from left wing, Antifa activists being stirred up by George Soros, presumably to disturb Mitch McConnell's lunch.

I do think we'll know who's behind this pretty soon, since the bomber or bombers don't appear to be very sophisticated and the unexploded bombs and packages should have lots of evidence in them

That is NOT polite. A turd is a lump of excrement. Stop saying turd and saying or thinking that it's a polite euphemism. It's not.

Not in the least. Never implied that you supported these actions. My comment was that your president provides overt approval for violence against political opponents and the media. Usually actions such as these cause massive posting.

Um, the title of this thread is Seems very quiet here about the bombs

"Here" along with your comment implies the unusual quietness was from the usual suspects here. Your comment was not about the President's overt approval, but the overt approval of the President and his [supposed] support of violence. If not for the "here" in the title, I could be persuaded to think it was not about some "here", but that word is there.

Turd can be a polite or even endearing euphemism. I hear it used both ways, often.

When it was time, he went downstairs, took his place in the lobby before the entourage appeared. The hotel staff had been lined up to see their boss, the president, go by. A few of them applauded. Most did not.

The president didn’t seem to notice. He waved, in his desultory fashion. The Secret Service agents clustered around him, ushered him toward the armored limo idling outside at the curb.

The Russian waited until they were a few steps past before he drew the gun. He sighted on the center of the president’s back, and squeezed the trigger.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

The gun misfires and the story ends with a Secret Service agent handing over his Glock and saying, "Here, use mine."
