    There are screen shots and videos floating around showing that voter registration may have been altered after the fact to say that he is a registered Republican. It's possible that those are doctored, as well, but this whole thing still doesn't add up. Either way, the guy has a history of being a whack job. Considering everything that has happened lately, what with Christine Ford's ties to the IC, the shit show that has been the Mueller investigation, all of the political violence against the right that goes unreported, etc, this whole bomber thing seems to be tailor made for an October surprise.
     
    This guy is almost a perfect caricature of what the left thinks that Trump supporters are. Just like the fake bombs that were sent, this seems like an over exaggerated prop.

    Astroturfed AF, records being scrubbed/altered. This just keeps getting more fake.

    I hesitate to call these things bombs, considering that from what we have seen so far they appear to be incapable of actually exploding. The one that we have a picture of just has a digital clock with no alarm features, not to mention the myriad of other glaringly obvious problems with it. It's not like it's that difficult to cobble together a timed fuse with modern electronics. You could get everything you need at an automotive supply store or hobby store without even raising any eyebrows. While it's more difficult to make proper high explosive compounds, there are plenty of other options that you can substitute that are also readily available. 
     
    The person who made these wasn't trying to build a bomb, they were building props. If they were trying to actually build a bomb, they must be a text book example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. If they thought these were going to explode, they must have also thought that lemon juice turned you invisible. That certainly is a possibility, but that seems incredibly unlikely to me.

    I went to the range with a friend of mine the other day. It wasn't difficult to decide which rifle to take. While we were there, his AR was having some problems, and we needed some tools to take it down and address the issues. He starts looking around for something that can stand in as a punch; car keys, cartridges, knife, etc. I calmly walk over to the ever prepared Kalashnikov rifle and retrieve it's included toolkit, which I used to repair his decadent capitalist rifle, pampered and unprepared for use in the field.
     
    Without me even saying a word, my friend looks over to me and says "shut up, just shut up"

    Japan is pain until you get the Chi Ha Kai, then it's playable. You can jump from that to the Chi Nu, then the Chaffee and the Na To. After that, I have no clue, but my next jump will be to the ST-A series and the Type 61. After that you have no choices. Use the STB to grind the Type 90, and throw as many free backups at them as you can.

    I see that they used the "wall hanger" methodology for their firearms selection criteria. Also, fuck every last one of those assholes, because I'm willing to bet that many of them are of the "for me but not for thee" persuasion when it comes to the 2A.

    Germany’s Wind Energy Mess: As Subsidies Expire, Thousands Of Turbines To Close
    ccdeditor On April 24, 2018 As older turbines see subsidies expire, thousands are expected to be taken offline due to lack of profitability.
    Green nightmare: Wind park operators eye shipping thousands of tons of wind turbine litter to third world countries – and leaving their concrete rubbish in the ground.
    The Swiss national daily Baseler Zeitung here recently reported how Germany’s wind industry is facing a potential “abandonment”.
    Approvals tougher to get
    This is yet another blow to Germany’s Energiewende (transition to green energies). A few days ago, I reported here how the German solar industry had seen a monumental jobs’ bloodbath and investments have been slashed to a tiny fraction of what they once were.
    Over the years, Germany has made approvals for new wind parks more difficult as the country reels from an unstable power grid and growing protests against the blighted landscapes and health hazards.
    Now that the wind energy boom has ended, the Baseler Zeitung reports that “the shutdown of numerous wind turbines could soon lead to a drop in production” after having seen years of ruddy growth.
    Subsidies for old turbines run out
    Today a large number of Germany’s 29,000 total turbines nationwide are approaching 20-years-old and for the most part, they are outdated.
    Worse: the generous subsidies granted at the time of their installation are slated to expire soon and thus make them unprofitable.
    After 2020, thousands of these turbines will lose their subsidies with each passing year, which means they will be taken offline and mothballed.
    The Baseler Zeitung writes:
    The Baseler Zeitung adds that some 5,700 turbines with an installed capacity of 45 MW will see their subsidies run out by 2020.
    The Swiss daily reports further:
    So with new turbines coming online only slowly, it’s entirely possible that wind energy output in Germany will recede in the coming years, thus making the country appear even less serious about climate protection.
    Wind turbine dump in Africa?
    So what happens to the old turbines that will get taken offline?
    Wind park owners hope to send their scrapped wind turbine clunkers to third-world buyers, Africa for example. But if these buyers instead opt for new energy systems, then German wind park operators will be forced to dismantle and recycle them – a costly endeavor, reports the Baseler Zeitung.
    Impossible to recycle composite materials
    The problem here is the large blades, which are made of fiberglass composite materials and whose components cannot be separated from each other.  Burning the blades is extremely difficult, toxic, and energy-intensive.
    So naturally, there’s a huge incentive for German wind park operators to dump the old contraptions onto third-world countries, and to let them deal later with the garbage.
    Sweeping garbage under the rug
    Next, the Baseler Zeitung brings up the disposal of the massive 3,000-tonne reinforced concrete turbine base, which according to German law must be removed.
    Some of these concrete bases reach depths of 20 meters and penetrate multiple ground layers, the Baseler Zeitung reports, adding:
    Already wind park operators are circumventing this huge expense by only removing the top two meters of the concrete and steel base, and then hiding the rest with a layer of soil, the Baseler writes.
    In the end, most of the concrete base will remain as garbage buried in the ground, and the above-ground turbine litter will likely get shipped to third-world countries.
    That’s Germany’s Energiewende and contribution to protecting the environment and climate!

    Remember, fake news was coined by the cable networks (I think it was even CNN) and it only became a naughty term when used on them. 
     
    This is the power of societies leash holders. There's too much trust in curated news. Not a shred of ability to research and deduce. I also fail to see anything particularly bad with Trump besides he likes to shit post on the twatters but I've already made my opinion on how we shouldn't hold elected officials on a social pedestal clear.

    So at your next job interview can I make false accusations against you to make sure that you don't get the job? Also, are you familiar with the concepts of slander and liable? How about the concept of common law? Critical thinking?
     
    Presumption of innocence is a legal standard because it comes from a cultural standard. I love all these people mindlessly crowing about how presumption of innocence only applies in courts, without thinking about the ramifications of what they are saying. Presumption of innocence in the courts means nothing if it does not exist in society at large. We have gotten a taste of what it looks like over the years, and it's been a very bitter taste every time. The presumption of guilt is a direct product of prejudice, when the judgment is handed down before the case is even heard.

    I'm not even fucking right wing. Up until about a year ago I was pretty solidly voting democrat. But holy fuck am I becoming disgusted on a visceral level at the left.
     
    Trump being a braggadocious showman is not the same as this crucible shit. The only side I'm consistently (and word for word in cases) hearing "there are no bad tactics, just bad targets" is the left. 
     
    Jesus fucking Christ, "you guys elected a smug jerk so burying every political figure we can under spurious to downright ridiculous claims is just fair". What a farce.

    Does that include assassination attempts on republican lawmakers? Just curious.

    Is it just me, or would having knowledge of multiple instances of gang rapes occurring at parties, continuing to attend such parties, and not reporting anything about said rapes make you an accessory to the crime?
     
    Do you just see a line of guys outside of a bedroom and think "Oh, they're just waiting for their turn to rape some girl. I wonder if there is any chip dip left."
     
    Update: apparently ole Julia is in a shit load of debt with the IRS, with court documents to back it up. Hmmmmmmmmm.

    From a disconnected view of this situation, it's hilarious. They strategy goes from "delay for procedural reasons" to "he might have groped a drunk chick 36 years ago" to "he was the Mastermind behind a serial rape gang that terrorized DC in the 80s".
