Read the whole thing. "But how could this be “about” race when Kavanaugh’s main accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, was also white?" It's called "intersectionality." Since women and blacks are oppressed, oppression of women is an expression of white supremacy, just as oppression of blacks is an expression of misogyny. No, I'm not making that up. That's the actual theory - a transitive theory of grievance. Combined with Critical Theory, it's a hoot.

Lithium has awful side effects, is toxic, is highly individualistic when it comes to dosage (i.e. my subclinical dose might be your toxic dose), requires regular monitoring, can cause kidney ant thyroid dysfunction, and is dangerous for people with hypertension - about a third of the country. Plus, most suicides don't happen when you're depressed. They happen when you're coming out of depression. So even if this plan had any theraputic effect, it would likely result in a net increase of suicides. Brilliant ***** plan. Not often I find the stupidest thing I'll read all day before 10am.

At this point, I'm willing to believe this is a Democratic false flag not to motivate their base for the election, but just to provide another opportunity to talk about "Trump divisive rhetoric" some more.

Everyone's forgotten how Hillary Clinton called for "incivility" not even three weeks ago...

Yes. I've followed Caterpillar since before you were born.

They're suing on the charge that Exxon defrauded shareholders by denying global warming...after years of insisting they denied global warming to increase profits for the benefit of shareholders. ***** stupid.

CAT seems to be in trouble every 5 years or so. I think there's a word for that...

I wish that were real. I'd get one for my sister-in-law.

I'm thinking it might be a lot easier than you'd expect. Drop-ship to a UPS store, arrange a courier pick-up at the store at a specific time...five minutes of googling, and it seems like that would work, though I wouldn't swear to it without making some calls (which I'm not making..."So, can you pick up a package for me at UPS, open it, and deliver the contents at exactly this time?" Yeah, won't lose my clearance asking that...)

They didn't reach their destinations at the same time. They reached them at the same local time.

Why do you think Moses had to part the Red Sea? They couldn't exactly drive the trucks underwater. Parting the Colorado River should be much easier. I know Obama is Black Jesus...who's Latino Moses? Julian Castro? Maybe Elizabeth Warren? What percent Hispanic is she?

Only takes one creative person to create a hash tag. Any NPC can use it.

People on Twitter are pretty ***** stupid. But it only takes one.

They don't exist.

Yes, but you can't fake a lack of planning. Because to fake it, ultimately means you're planning it. It's a fundamental principle of profiling: basically, at the risk of oversimplifying, you can't hide who you are. You can't fake disorganization, because you have to be organized to fake it. No, they wouldn't. In fact, that's what makes them sociopaths: the lack of empathy for others, that allows them to fake and manipulate emotions. They can act normal, but they can't fake their internal lack of empathy - it still shows in their actions.

No it doesn't work both ways. You're inferring motive from ambiguous indicators. Factually, the only motive we have is: he wanted to send bombs to Democratic symbols of leadership. That does mean it's a symbolic act, to some degree. It does not mean the bombs were intended to fail, or that they symbolism was targeted to media coverage.

Would have been more focused and better-planned. The signature is unplanned, and almost impulsive in some ways. Still speculation, obviously...but look at what the available evidence - the signature - indicates about the assailant's state of mind, rather than his supposed beliefs. You can fake belief...you can never fake your internal psychology. Yes. When I try to kill someone, they don't stand around complaining about it afterwards.

Or giving them a bath. Hey, it's dirty, sweaty work, walking across Mexico.

It leads to no such conclusion. Remember: Palestinian bombers - professional terrorists - once blew themselves early up because they forgot to adjust their timers for daylight savings. More recently: someone tried to bomb Times Square by lighting a bag of MiracleGro (because, fertilizer!) Less recently: Aum Shinrikyo tried at least five times to attack Japanese subways and buildings with chem and bio-weapons, before they finally succeeded. Half-assed failed attacks happen all the time. This could easily be one. He's my hero. It was probably a box of early Republican ballots.

"Powder-sprinkled." No evidence it was anthrax. Not-very-good guess as to why: they wanted to make this seem more scary than it actually is. Really, I doubt this is any sort of "deep state" conspiracy. This is all very half-assed work. I could do better.

"#42: General Tso's Chicken." Seriously...like I said, it's not evidentiary. But it is part of the signature of the crime: someone attached that, and other random symbols, to their bomb for some reason that made sense to them.

Because certain elements of the crime demonstrate poor planning in general. Pipe bombs with timers, mix of mail and courier delivery, courier delivery of packages with stamps attached, getting Holder's address wrong, sending Clapper's to CNN, not accounting for time zones when coordinating delivery (everything looks like it was delivered local mid-morning time). Looks like they gave precious little thought and no testing to delivery methods. And while it explains why, like I said, CNN's package didn't have a cancellation mark on the stamps, it then begs the question: how'd the courier receive the package?

They're not "false flags," they're just not evidentiary on their own.

Why not? Amateurs. Change of plans, after they found out the USPS couldn't guarantee delivery.
