Trump uses the phone issued to him by the secret service. Yawn.
Its looking like the fake news/fake bombs and caravan octiber surprises arent working out too well.
CNN is hyperventilating about how there were assassination attempts on two former presidents and President Trump hasn’t recognized what a moment of National Crisis this is. Obviously one can seek to terrorize someone by sending them a fake bomb. But that doesn’t seem to count as an actual attempt to do them harm.

The smart money is on the mail bomber being a dyed-in-the-wool Republican impersonating a false flagger. Obviously this theory has just as much evidence as 'schizo wackjob' and 'Bernie bro' and boring, one-layer 'false flag'. But since the crowd around here likes their theories without evidence, we may as well go a couple layers deep.
.... [polygraph examiner Jeremiah] Hanafin departed from ... protocols by giving Ford time writing up a statement describing what she claims happened the night in question and then interviewing her about her statement before administering the exam. That might not seem so bad until you realize that interviewing someone is just asking them a lot of questions.
So Hanafin did exactly what he wasn’t supposed to do; he asked Ford a lot of questions about the subject on which he was testing her truthfulness. The only difference being that Ford wasn’t hooked up to the machine for most of the too-many questions she was asked. Since he also had her spend time writing her story down, his irregular procedures would likely have had an even worse effect on the test’s validity than simply asking a lot of relevant questions during the exam.
If Ford was lying, Hanafin essentially allowed her to spend an undisclosed but significant amount of time practicing doing so immediately before she had to face the actual exam; not just verbally in answer to his questions, but also in writing. Thus, she had the opportunity to get accustomed to the story she intended to tell, along with the intrusive questions her examiner would ask, rendering the exam results worthless.
Hanafin seems also to have departed from ZCT procedure by asking Ford the most general possible relevant questions about her written statement, rather than focusing on specific aspects of her story.
He chose as his relevant questions: “Is any part of your statement false?” and “Did you make up any part of your statement?” The examples of proper relevant questions for the ZCT provided in the Justice Department manual, however, are all excruciatingly specific and are supposed to test “the possible direct involvement of the examinee.” For example, “Did you steal that Mustang?” Indeed, even the following question, which is much less general than the relevant questions Hanafin chose, isn’t labeled a relevant question in the Justice manual: “Regarding whether you stole that Mustang, do you intend to answer each question truthfully?”
In the final stretch of a tight Senate race in increasingly red Missouri, Sen. Claire McCaskill turned against her own party in a new campaign radio ad that declares she is “not one of those crazy Democrats.”

No the Saudis told them it was premeditated, well you don't send 15 men to order shwarma but the fact that mutreb was a colleague of khashoggi suggests another motive.

You want to hear crazy, one of Erdogan advisors gilgit saying this is was a Egyptian/Israeli plot against the kingdom and Turkey, the Hamas apple doesn't fall far from the tree,
I'm reading a biography of Lord Curzon. He was the Viceroy of India during Victoria's time. He had plenipotentiary powers over three hundred million people at one time.......The biographer says that Curzon was acutely sensitive to how posterity would judge him. He needn't have been. How many here have even heard of him?.......His wife did him no favors. She wrote a memoir of their life together. She claims that he always took particular care to make sure that the footmen in his employ had slender, clean wrists because that's what the dinner guests observed when they were being served.......It must have been very pleasant to be born an English aristocrat in the 19th century. You weren't born on third base. You were born in the dugout after hitting a walk off home run to win the series.
They say there's a good chance this mad faux bomber will be caught. They should institute a betting line in Vegas as to his political sympathies. 40-1 he's a foreign agent. 100-1 he's an ISIS sympathizer. 3-2 he's a loon with alt right leanings. 2-1 he's some leftist who thinks he's being Machiavellian. 3-1 he's none of the above and his own particular kind of crazy.
Why can’t we know yet whether any “devices” that were sent were: intended to function as explosives, or capable of exploding, or obvious fakes? It is clearly in the political interest of some news outlets to call these “pipe bombs”, but I can’t tell if they are explicitly making such a claim. Saying that a piece of PVC has powder and glass shards in it or even an explosive powder seems like a weasel worded attempt at avoiding the admission that they are fake.

I'm familiar with Curzon. Are you familiar with Lord Kitchener? I've read two great biographies of him--both old ones, as I'm sure any modern writer would be critical of his style as a warrior who fought to win. One of his well-known sayings was: “War is a stern game and he who would play it successfully should not be over-troubled with the bowels of compassion.” Not all aristocrats were pampered toffs.
No they weren't, kitchener was the premier Intel officer at the time of the Egyptian invasion in 1882 almost 20 years later he was churchill's boss at omdurman, and later a top staff officer during the Boer war.
Just because someone writes something ridiculously and obviously false in a "dossier" or in a publication with the word "Military" in its title doesnt mean you have to swallow the lies whole!
Though that is what you do, isnt it?
Good luck with ypur golden showers dem husband of McCaskill in MO. I think yoy are going to need it!
I don't think Kitchener was particularly successful during WWI, but then none of them were.......Well bred English gentlemen weren't soft. Their experience at Eton was surprisingly like the prison yard experience in America. I do think that American convicts are given better food and hot showers, but the buggering was about the same.
Well I left that part of the story out, most of the top staff got their training in the beer war, with the good and bad that entails. But look at the current chief of defense staff you think they learned any lessons from Iraq or Afghanistan or learned the wrong ones.
Tucker was exceedingly poignant tonight, to wit: " this is ominous, we're not supposed to hate our fellow Americans this much."
What happened? Over time "our thinking changed. We used to debate politics, issues, and ideas and started attacking each other for things we can't change, for who we are."
On immigration and the leftist claims of moral superiority
"What you're hearing is not political debate, its theology. Its not based in reason but something deeper and less predictable and more ferocious. Its a religious argument. Those are not resolvable. Thats why we were told not to bring them up at the dinner table."
Religious disputes push people into extremism. If I think your ideas are wrong I'm happy to argue with you. But if I decide you are evil I may be tempted to hurt you, if only in self defense. Politics like this isn't really politics, its sectarianism and ultimately an incitement to violence."
"There's always two sides to a political argument, but yet all that matters anymore is character and motive."
It's done on both sides and Tucker provides the tape of Kasich who argues that if you disagree with him, you disagree with God.
"Whats easy to know and easy to forsee is what happens to a country when the people in power claim moral authority they don't have in order to compel you to obey."
Sorry for the length but, Holy Shit. Are we fucked?

Yes we are if we follow that punk or someone like him. The lesson the 60s generation took from the civil rights movement were all institutions were equally wrote, so they sought to raze them down to the foundations.
I read that there was a false ISIS flag symbol on the bombs. Get it - false flag, false flag. But wait. It was a comedy false flag. So that makes it a joke about a false flag operation using fake bombs to be covered by fake news with fake outrage. So it is done by a young person with a gamer or 4chan mentality and a HUGE desire for thirty minutes of fame. No one can find him because they are all looking a real motive but this one has a fake motive. He's so digital that his only reality is he really thinks we really are all really very, very, very stupid. Not my generation, so I make no judgement on him.
Their experience at Eton was surprisingly like the prison yard experience in America. I do think that American convicts are given better food and hot showers, but the buggering was about the same.
Yes, not just Eton, of course. Churchill wrote of his harrowing Harrow experiences in graphic detail.
The pictures I have seen online show the 'isis' flag really says ' git 'r done'. Could a 4chan devotee really do something like this? If the authorites find them, they are not going to show up with much of a sense of humor.
So I am reading online that the 'devices' were sent from a mail facility in Opa-Locka Florida. All of them had insufficient postage on them, and no cancelation stamp.
Churchill's criticism of Kitchner (though the two already roundly disliked each other) during WWI was that he was trying to run a World War like a small colonial campaign: entirely in his head and without adequate staff support.
Despite having just 12 percent of the national population, California represents nearly a third of all Americans on welfare. In Texas, 6 percent of families in poverty receive welfare. In California, the figure is 66 percent. Can you guess where the poverty rate is lower? Not California.
I'm trying to see why anyone would bomb the targets.
Obama was a foreign and economic failure and his refusal to work with people he loathed made his presidency ephemeral.
The Clintons are rich and obnoxious, but they are revealed as the low class grifters and rapists they are to non-bubble dwellers.
None of the others are important at ALL. For Christ's sake, people watch Nickelodeon more than CNN! And if you remove forced airport viewings, it is worse.
The pain of their continued impotence is far more satisfying.

@Drago, and yet Inga believes the likes of you and I are the delusional ones. Anybody know the color of the sky on the planet where she lives? Wait! Didn’t she say she’s from Wisconsin? Explains a lot.
Those bombs would appear to be relatively harmless with a six-inch piece of PVC pipe, some genuine firecracker powder for the explosive, a made-in-China timer straight from Amazon worth between 3 and 5 bucks including button battery (and sales tax, of course) and a tiny igniter wire that may or may not work, along with a small amount of broken glass. For this firepower New York's Finest need special handling equipment that cost a minimum of a quarter of a million bucks and we have to put up with listening to Mayor De Blasio telling us that: "The very concept of terrorism is to change us, and we will not allow that to happen . . . " What is this "we" shit, Mayor?
Blogger steve uhr said... "A bomber targets two former presidents, a former Vice President, and a former AG. And trump jokes about it. Just another day another in trump land." What's it like to be incurious?
CNN counts the number of times Trump and Fox attacked the bomber targets, here.
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no no And, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues You know, feelin' good was good enough for me Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
Immediately upon hearing the news, President Trump, GOP leaders, administration officials, members of the conservative punditry and others condemned the incidents and called for unity and peaceful resolution of differences via the ballot box and civil discourse.
Well first you have to not care that the New York Times called Republicans "mass murderers" while ignoring actual studies on the impact of medicare, and that the call was echoed by Democrats. Then you have to shove the shootout at the Republican softball game down the memory hole, and had in a healthy dose of assuming what you are trying to prove, then picking through the evidence selectively.
we have to put up with listening to Mayor De Blasio telling us that: "The very concept of terrorism is to change us, and we will not allow that to happen . . .
And yet, Not a single targeted person changed their scheduled public appearances immediately after the hoax became public. These are people that have security assigned to them. Clinton's wife has Secret Service, as does the Obama family. Secret Service saw NO THREAT. No threat immediately upon discovery, they allowed their charges to go to scheduled PUBLIC events.
in More Fun News... Skinhead O'Conner has announced that she has converted to Islam! And she has changed her name to Shuhada' Davitt (which appartently means Martyrs)
And, YES, she now has a Hajab, and covers her hair (though, usually just with a scarf)
Thursday, MSNBC contributor and historian Jon Meacham weighed in on the bombs sent out this week to various political commentators and Democratic politicians. He said that the scare may “exceed the scope” of former President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. “It’s, I think, the most widespread attempt on the lives of high American officials since, and it may, in fact, exceed the scope since the assassination plot against Abraham Lincoln in 1865.
I can't believe he didn't go all the way back to Guy Faulks! Maybe we can have a new holiday where everybody sets off firecrackers, and "bombs" made out of caps! We used to make "mines" by putting a whole role of caps under a flat rock in the road and when a car ran over it... Ka blam! I am pretty sure the cars ran over them on purpose. It was a more innocent time.
Have you ever sent someone a letter that had insufficient postage? I did, in fact I forgot the whole stamp thing when I sent my girl friend a birthday card. They charged HER for the missing postage. Did any of them get charged for the insufficient packages? I don't think so. This whole affair stinks to high heaven.
I witnessed something on MSNBC that I really want Althouse and her readership to know about and see for themselves.
Katy Tur of MSNBC was doing a joint interview with liberal Democrat Donna Edwards and the Trump-doubting conservative Eric Erickson. Donna Edwards was of course preaching to the choir and was there to help make the points that Katy Tur and MSNBC wanted to make.
But the interchange between Katy Tur and Eric Erickson was astonishing. Eric was asked about the overheated rhetoric in current politics and how it might lead to violence and he pointed out very gently and reasonably that on both sides of the political spectrum there have been rogue extremists and acts of (sometimes ineffectual) "terrorism" in a general sense, as he mentioned the ricin-mail scares with Senators Susan Collins and Ted Cruz and the congressional baseball game.
Katy Tur shut him down, interrupted him and told him that he couldn't advance such ideas on her show. The Daily Caller put the video into a story on this encounter
I saw this live, and I was so overjoyed to see that someone else picked up on it. Rarely have I seen a more crystalline example of the left claiming that all violent political rhetoric comes from one side. For Katy Tur to do that to a non-Trump conservative like Eric Erickson is so amazingly ignorant and tone-deaf. Erickson did nothing to defend any of Trump's outrageous claims or statements. He only pointed out the obviously true flip side of what Katy Tur was driving at, which is intolerance and incivility to the point of violence in our current national politics. And she would not tolerate it. Shutting her guest down with total incivility herself.
Last night, Hannity, whom I very seldom watch, played a rich array of clips of Dem leaders and Hollywood celebrities calling for violence against Trump and his supporters.
Perfect example of what my previous post on Tuckers show last night illuminates. You don't have political discourse with someone who you believe is evil. You don't debate the issues because you are attacking the person. Their character, and their motives. He and Mark Steyn also discussed the need for more speech in the face of the incivility and violence. Obviously Katy Tur will not allow that. Note the Huffpo take on Tuckers questions. They note the twitter backlash, but read the twitter comments and see if you can find an argument there.
Katy Tur and all the usual suspects demand that the House-trained LLR's toe every lefty narrative theme.
Leftists do not and have never allowed dissent in any form.
The Max Boots and other LLR cucks who thought they could take their current operational alignment with the dems along with their anti-Trump "muh "truCon" principles" are always shocked to learn this is not enough to protect them from the transient lefty winds of acceptance.
Too funny.
Erickson's public posture in 2016/2017 and day to day lefty narrative advancement has left himself in an actual political "No Man's Land".
Quite frankly Im pleasantly surprised Erickson didnt grovel at the feet of his lefty masters and beg forgiveness by calling a career highly decorated Navy Admiral Doctor "Ricky Bobby" and referring to Ben Carson and some mythical "Dept Of Black People".
That puts Erickson light-years ahead of some other lefty operationally aligned LLR's.

You moron. Here I am, calling out the excesses of MSNBC and one of its hosts, and you can't let it go.
We'd have a much easier time on the Right if we didn't have to answer for "Muslim bans" and Scaramucci and Omarosa and Michael Cohen and Roger Stone and mystery tax returns and payments to porn stars and wonderment at how "nobody knew health care could be so hard" and the thousand ridiculous statements put out on Twitter.
Or maybe not. Maybe we really do need Trump, to appeal to low-information white cultists, just as Democrats needed their black Obama cultists to carry a couple of national elections.
It is much the same to me; and you won't get me to sign up for either one.

Saying that a piece of PVC has powder and glass shards in it or even an explosive powder seems like a weasel worded attempt at avoiding the admission that they are fake.
William writes: I'm reading a biography of Lord Curzon. He was the Viceroy of India during Victoria's time. He had plenipotentiary powers over three hundred million people at one time.......The biographer says that Curzon was acutely sensitive to how posterity would judge him. He needn't have been. How many here have even heard of him?.......His wife did him no favors. She wrote a memoir of their life together. She claims that he always took particular care to make sure that the footmen in his employ had slender, clean wrists because that's what the dinner guests observed when they were being served.......It must have been very pleasant to be born an English aristocrat in the 19th century. You weren't born on third base. You were born in the dugout after hitting a walk off home run to win the series.
I'm familiar with Curzon. Are you familiar with Lord Kitchener? I've read two great biographies of him--both old ones, as I'm sure any modern writer would be critical of his style as a warrior who fought to win. One of his well-known sayings was: “War is a stern game and he who would play it successfully should not be over-troubled with the bowels of compassion.” Not all aristocrats were pampered toffs.
No Drago, you dear sweet naive knave. It was not debunked. Just because Trump says so, Drago believes him.
Hahahahaha!
Two questions need immediate answers and both could be answered immediately:
--Why no postmarks on the packages?
--Were they actual, viable bombs?
No they weren't, kitchener was the premier Intel officer at the time of the Egyptian invasion in 1882 almost 20 years later he was churchill's boss at omdurman, and later a top staff officer during the Boer war.
Inga: "It was not debunked."
LOL
Yes, it was.
Just because someone writes something ridiculously and obviously false in a "dossier" or in a publication with the word "Military" in its title doesnt mean you have to swallow the lies whole!
Though that is what you do, isnt it?
Good luck with ypur golden showers dem husband of McCaskill in MO. I think yoy are going to need it!
“Yes, it was.”
No it wasn’t.
LOL
Inga, if you dont believe me, go ask President Hillary.
I don't think Kitchener was particularly successful during WWI, but then none of them were.......Well bred English gentlemen weren't soft. Their experience at Eton was surprisingly like the prison yard experience in America. I do think that American convicts are given better food and hot showers, but the buggering was about the same.
Well I left that part of the story out, most of the top staff got their training in the beer war, with the good and bad that entails. But look at the current chief of defense staff you think they learned any lessons from Iraq or Afghanistan or learned the wrong ones.
I dont blame the dems and their voice-actuated automatons like Inga for recycling previously debunked stories.
They have nothing else and their many October Surprises are flopping badly.
The NYT even tried recycling the Blame Sarah Palin For Giffords Shooting recently!
LOL
Though that lame attempt didnt go very far for obvious reasons.
Yes its like ground hog day all over again.
Tucker was exceedingly poignant tonight, to wit: " this is ominous, we're not supposed to hate our fellow Americans this much."
What happened? Over time "our thinking changed. We used to debate politics, issues, and ideas and started attacking each other for things we can't change, for who we are."
On immigration and the leftist claims of moral superiority
"What you're hearing is not political debate, its theology. Its not based in reason but something deeper and less predictable and more ferocious. Its a religious argument. Those are not resolvable. Thats why we were told not to bring them up at the dinner table."
Religious disputes push people into extremism. If I think your ideas are wrong I'm happy to argue with you. But if I decide you are evil I may be tempted to hurt you, if only in self defense. Politics like this isn't really politics, its sectarianism and ultimately an incitement to violence."
"There's always two sides to a political argument, but yet all that matters anymore is character and motive."
It's done on both sides and Tucker provides the tape of Kasich who argues that if you disagree with him, you disagree with God.
"Whats easy to know and easy to forsee is what happens to a country when the people in power claim moral authority they don't have in order to compel you to obey."
Sorry for the length but, Holy Shit. Are we fucked?
I wonder what the folks who clean all the stickers off the wall use and how effective it is?

Who could ever have dreamed Trump would inspire these lefty lunatics to so beclown themselves?
Its an absolute marvel!
And now we have dem candidates that married their sibling, beat the snot out of their girlfriends and an honest to goodness real golden showers story involving dems!
Whats next for the dems? Defending islamic terrorists, MS13 and lettung people defecate openly on the sidewalks?.....
....oh, right....
LOL
320Busdriver - Yes we are fucked. The only real question is how bad and how many people die as a result.
But heck, maybe reason will prevail and folks will pull their collective out of their ass and realize this - but I am not holding my breath.
Yes we are if we follow that punk or someone like him. The lesson the 60s generation took from the civil rights movement were all institutions were equally wrote, so they sought to raze them down to the foundations.
I read that there was a false ISIS flag symbol on the bombs. Get it - false flag, false flag. But wait. It was a comedy false flag. So that makes it a joke about a false flag operation using fake bombs to be covered by fake news with fake outrage. So it is done by a young person with a gamer or 4chan mentality and a HUGE desire for thirty minutes of fame. No one can find him because they are all looking a real motive but this one has a fake motive. He's so digital that his only reality is he really thinks we really are all really very, very, very stupid. Not my generation, so I make no judgement on him.
Their experience at Eton was surprisingly like the prison yard experience in America. I do think that American convicts are given better food and hot showers, but the buggering was about the same.
Yes, not just Eton, of course. Churchill wrote of his harrowing Harrow experiences in graphic detail.
Wildswan, I think you're onto something.
The pictures I have seen online show the 'isis' flag really says ' git 'r done'. Could a 4chan devotee really do something like this? If the authorites find them, they are not going to show up with much of a sense of humor.
Lets just say that the dems latest hoax October surprise has sort of...(wait for it)....(wait for it)....blown up in their faces!
So I am reading online that the 'devices' were sent from a mail facility in Opa-Locka Florida. All of them had insufficient postage on them, and no cancelation stamp.
Could some loony postal employee be behind this?
hmmmmm.i wonder if it could be cows behind the "Eat Mor Chikin" thing
ROFL...

Anvils.
I predict they try anvils next.
If past is prologue, after the exploding cigars comes anvils.
Beep Beep!!
Churchill's criticism of Kitchner (though the two already roundly disliked each other) during WWI was that he was trying to run a World War like a small colonial campaign: entirely in his head and without adequate staff support.
From The Hill:
Despite having just 12 percent of the national population, California represents nearly a third of all Americans on welfare. In Texas, 6 percent of families in poverty receive welfare. In California, the figure is 66 percent. Can you guess where the poverty rate is lower? Not California.

I don't think Kitchener was particularly successful during WWI
He did not float.
I'm trying to see why anyone would bomb the targets.
Obama was a foreign and economic failure and his refusal to work with people he loathed made his presidency ephemeral.
The Clintons are rich and obnoxious, but they are revealed as the low class grifters and rapists they are to non-bubble dwellers.
None of the others are important at ALL. For Christ's sake, people watch Nickelodeon more than CNN! And if you remove forced airport viewings, it is worse.
The pain of their continued impotence is far more satisfying.
The postal worker observations here are really solid. Can't wait for the arrest(s).

@Drago, and yet Inga believes the likes of you and I are the delusional ones. Anybody know the color of the sky on the planet where she lives? Wait! Didn’t she say she’s from Wisconsin? Explains a lot.
Those bombs would appear to be relatively harmless with a six-inch piece of PVC pipe, some genuine firecracker powder for the explosive, a made-in-China timer straight from Amazon worth between 3 and 5 bucks including button battery (and sales tax, of course) and a tiny igniter wire that may or may not work, along with a small amount of broken glass. For this firepower New York's Finest need special handling equipment that cost a minimum of a quarter of a million bucks and we have to put up with listening to Mayor De Blasio telling us that: "The very concept of terrorism is to change us, and we will not allow that to happen . . . " What is this "we" shit, Mayor?

Said here at the end of Day 1--
Immediately upon hearing the news, President Trump, GOP leaders, administration officials, members of the conservative punditry and others condemned the incidents and called for unity and peaceful resolution of differences via the ballot box and civil discourse.
What's it like to be incurious?
Well first you have to not care that the New York Times called Republicans "mass murderers" while ignoring actual studies on the impact of medicare, and that the call was echoed by Democrats. Then you have to shove the shootout at the Republican softball game down the memory hole, and had in a healthy dose of assuming what you are trying to prove, then picking through the evidence selectively.
I wonder what the folks who clean all the stickers off the wall use and how effective it is?
Gasoline. Just a tiny dab if its a paper sticker.
we have to put up with listening to Mayor De Blasio telling us that: "The very concept of terrorism is to change us, and we will not allow that to happen . . .
And yet, Not a single targeted person changed their scheduled public appearances immediately after the hoax became public. These are people that have security assigned to them. Clinton's wife has Secret Service, as does the Obama family. Secret Service saw NO THREAT. No threat immediately upon discovery, they allowed their charges to go to scheduled PUBLIC events.
What I want to say is that the New York Times falsely claimed that these were bombs.
The bombs are fake but CNN is even moreso.
When the "bombs" story disappears from the news cycle you will know it is a hoax and likely perpetrated by a Democrat.

And she has changed her name to Shuhada' Davitt (which appartently means Martyrs)
And, YES, she now has a Hajab, and covers her hair (though, usually just with a scarf)
oh! and she ALSO claimed on Twitter that a healthcare assistant working with her was fired “for spiking me with crystal meth”.

Fell asleep watching the Dolphins and woke up with this story on the TV in the middle of the night:
https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/florida/fl-ne-bombs-opalocka-mail-20181025-story.html
https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/florida/fl-ne-bombs-opalocka-mail-20181025-story.html
Thursday, MSNBC contributor and historian Jon Meacham weighed in on the bombs sent out this week to various political commentators and Democratic politicians. He said that the scare may “exceed the scope” of former President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. “It’s, I think, the most widespread attempt on the lives of high American officials since, and it may, in fact, exceed the scope since the assassination plot against Abraham Lincoln in 1865.
I can't believe he didn't go all the way back to Guy Faulks! Maybe we can have a new holiday where everybody sets off firecrackers, and "bombs" made out of caps! We used to make "mines" by putting a whole role of caps under a flat rock in the road and when a car ran over it... Ka blam! I am pretty sure the cars ran over them on purpose. It was a more innocent time.
Remember, remember, the twenty-fourth of October. . .
Needs more work.
I'm blaming the fact that all of the packages had insufficient postage but we're still delivered on normal USPS incompetence.
I don't know how, but I suspect that somehow the ongoing bomb scare will rebound in Trump's favor.
Send the postage due bill to the DNC and see if they pay it.
Eye surgery day today?
That is a good guess, Andrew.
Have you ever sent someone a letter that had insufficient postage? I did, in fact I forgot the whole stamp thing when I sent my girl friend a birthday card. They charged HER for the missing postage. Did any of them get charged for the insufficient packages? I don't think so. This whole affair stinks to high heaven.

I witnessed something on MSNBC that I really want Althouse and her readership to know about and see for themselves.
Katy Tur of MSNBC was doing a joint interview with liberal Democrat Donna Edwards and the Trump-doubting conservative Eric Erickson. Donna Edwards was of course preaching to the choir and was there to help make the points that Katy Tur and MSNBC wanted to make.
But the interchange between Katy Tur and Eric Erickson was astonishing. Eric was asked about the overheated rhetoric in current politics and how it might lead to violence and he pointed out very gently and reasonably that on both sides of the political spectrum there have been rogue extremists and acts of (sometimes ineffectual) "terrorism" in a general sense, as he mentioned the ricin-mail scares with Senators Susan Collins and Ted Cruz and the congressional baseball game.
Katy Tur shut him down, interrupted him and told him that he couldn't advance such ideas on her show. The Daily Caller put the video into a story on this encounter
https://dailycaller.com/2018/10/25/msnbc-katy-tur-angry-guest-left-wing-violence/
I saw this live, and I was so overjoyed to see that someone else picked up on it. Rarely have I seen a more crystalline example of the left claiming that all violent political rhetoric comes from one side. For Katy Tur to do that to a non-Trump conservative like Eric Erickson is so amazingly ignorant and tone-deaf. Erickson did nothing to defend any of Trump's outrageous claims or statements. He only pointed out the obviously true flip side of what Katy Tur was driving at, which is intolerance and incivility to the point of violence in our current national politics. And she would not tolerate it. Shutting her guest down with total incivility herself.
Last night, Hannity, whom I very seldom watch, played a rich array of clips of Dem leaders and Hollywood celebrities calling for violence against Trump and his supporters.
"They charged HER for the missing postage."
They only do that if it's your birthday.
@Chuck
Perfect example of what my previous post on Tuckers show last night illuminates. You don't have political discourse with someone who you believe is evil. You don't debate the issues because you are attacking the person. Their character, and their motives. He and Mark Steyn also discussed the need for more speech in the face of the incivility and violence. Obviously Katy Tur will not allow that. Note the Huffpo take on Tuckers questions. They note the twitter backlash, but read the twitter comments and see if you can find an argument there.

Katy Tur and all the usual suspects demand that the House-trained LLR's toe every lefty narrative theme.
Leftists do not and have never allowed dissent in any form.
The Max Boots and other LLR cucks who thought they could take their current operational alignment with the dems along with their anti-Trump "muh "truCon" principles" are always shocked to learn this is not enough to protect them from the transient lefty winds of acceptance.
Too funny.
Erickson's public posture in 2016/2017 and day to day lefty narrative advancement has left himself in an actual political "No Man's Land".
Tough.
Quite frankly Im pleasantly surprised Erickson didnt grovel at the feet of his lefty masters and beg forgiveness by calling a career highly decorated Navy Admiral Doctor "Ricky Bobby" and referring to Ben Carson and some mythical "Dept Of Black People".
That puts Erickson light-years ahead of some other lefty operationally aligned LLR's.
Skate shops look the same everywhere. Generica!
Wasserman Schultz’s voice broke with emotion as she said her staff handled the threat with bravery.

You moron. Here I am, calling out the excesses of MSNBC and one of its hosts, and you can't let it go.
We'd have a much easier time on the Right if we didn't have to answer for "Muslim bans" and Scaramucci and Omarosa and Michael Cohen and Roger Stone and mystery tax returns and payments to porn stars and wonderment at how "nobody knew health care could be so hard" and the thousand ridiculous statements put out on Twitter.
Or maybe not. Maybe we really do need Trump, to appeal to low-information white cultists, just as Democrats needed their black Obama cultists to carry a couple of national elections.
It is much the same to me; and you won't get me to sign up for either one.
