You just told me that I have some sort of awesome power over your behavior by, for example, not actually posting some crap that you want to claim that I did. How does that demonstrate rationality or responsibility on your part?
I can easily articulate Hillary's crimes. I don't even have to. Others like Comey and the Inspector General did that already.
Idiot behavior from thousands? What's this in reference to?
In the other thread you made it quite clear you support Avenatti/Swetnik perjury. You also indicated you support Hillary's behavior re Benghazi. Have I misunderstood you?

Is that not true of you as well?
Not even close to the same extent. I used to be more as a TBM, but have given up a lot of that kind of thinking. While I am a moderate I have voted in all provincial and federal elections for the conservative party.
A deluge of things, it's natural to assume it's part of the already unfolding pattern. Motive is the first thing to search for. The bombs were fake. I don't want to split hairs about whether the "bomber" thought they were real or not. As reported, the devices themselves were little more than halloween props. Knowing that, and also knowing that the timing of events doesn't help Republicans, the preponderance of evidence suggests the motive would come from the left.
The problem is there is no pattern other then one invented by your perceived tribe. It didn't take me more then a second to understand that most people don't think in these terms when deciding to do something stupid.

I feel for the guy. Don't get me wrong; he's not a good person. But the more information that comes out, the more clear it is he has a genuine mental disability and may have a mild intellectual disability. His Twitter feed is simultaneously crazy and, aside from the odd Seminole stuff, a dime a dozen in conservative culture. He seems to have taken it to heart. He's a broken person who was weaponized by bad rhetoric.
It also occurs to me that there was a period on this board where the conservatrolls loved to attack me for being a leech on the state for doing social work. And while that misunderstood my job, I'm the kind of person that gets dispatched to help people like him. The more information that comes out, the more familiar he is seeming to me. When people talk about the need to connect people like this to mental health resources, that does mean paying people like me to exist.
Oh my god this is amazing. I googled 'cesar sayoc registered democrat' to see how the right-wing would spin this, one thing led to another, and I landed here:
You just have to read the whole thing. Mental illness meets the Internet. Lol...
I love it.

I assume you meant to say "personal responsibility." Lock Her Up is precisely about that...how does a call for personal responsibility translate into an evasion of personal responsibility?
I did mean personal responsibility. You literally said that someone else was responsible for the decision of Republicans to chant “lock her up.” One of the defining characteristics of today’s Republicans is that they never own their own choices and behavior. It’s really pathetic.

Mostly agree. From his Twitter history he promoted 911 truth and has a lot of anti Bush stuff too. Along with chemtrail conspiracies. He was a misfit and taken in by these internet subcultures.
