The President of the United States appears to be promoting the conspiracy theory that drove this murderer to kill 11 people.

He self-identified as a white nationalist. White nationalism is an ideology, not a genealogy. There are also still the other two attacks that are very explicitly white nationalist in nature, including the one this particular thread is about.

I think "cultural Catholic" and "culture Christian" are becoming more of a thing these days as religious adherence falls off among younger people, but they don't have the history of cultural but agnostic/atheistic judaism and probably not the depth either. Neither my wife or I are religious but we still put up a Christmas tree etc. It's not going to mean as much when we're identifying with the majority culture compared to Jews identifying with their own minority culture though.

The other two attacks I referenced, the synagogue shooter and the guy who shot two black people at a grocery store after failing to get into a black church and told a white person "whites don't shoot whites," were more explicit about their white nationalist motivations. The bomber seemed to espouse a whole lot of pro-Trump/anti-media stuff, but he did also get in on the anti-Semetic George Soros stuff (among other conspiracy theories like pizzagate) and of course Soros was his first target. Per his coworkers, he self-labeled as a white supremacist. You can't exactly remove race/ethnicity from racially/ethnically motivated attacks carried out by white supremacists.

alternatively, hire a moving crew and instruct them that everything not packed in boxes is destined for the dumpster

It seems like so many more trades this year than ever before

Oh absolutely. Some tests are moving more to computer-based these days, but if you have 1000 students that all need to take a state test in a given week, lol.

fwiw this concept has been debunked https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/04/the-myth-of-learning-styles/557687/ US education at the collegiate level ranks at the top of the world.

The President of the United States has explicitly said in the past that he will call any media or story he doesn't like "fake news" as it will damage them in the eyes of his supporters, making any story that is not positive for him into a "fake news" fabricated partisan attack. At the same time, he will demagogue fake claims regarding a "migrant caravan" being full of middle eastern terrorists and gang members who may or may not be funded by George Soros coming to "invade" our country. The package discovered today does appear to have been sent by the same ardent supporter of the President who liked to repeat the same "fake news"/"enemy of the people" rhetoric. The synagogue terrorist cited the literal fake news about the caravan being funded by Jews to attack America. This sort of rhetoric has power. The bomber seems to have been largely apolitical before 2016, and then his social media streams changed to nearly all political posts. There is a portion of the media/social media that deliberately stews their consumers in hatred, paranoia and conspiracy mindset. Senators and Congressmen have repeated the same claims about Soros secretly funding everything, trying to "invade" our local governments.

I've been surprised that for how much he runs the ball and isn't afraid to take a bit of a hit from time to time or at least challenge defensive players, I don't think he's fumbled the ball on a run yet.

Earlier this morning, the President of the United States reiterated his long-running rhetoric that the media is the "enemy of the people"

He's playing it safe and overthrowing the ball, which does help limit the opportunities for interceptions. Flip side is that he misses some moderately difficult throws you'd hope he could make, and he's also missed some wide open receivers by sailing it over their heads.

It's important to remind people in a week with three separate right wing white nationalist terrorist attacks that actually Both Sides Are Bad E: lmao comparing political opposition to Trump to the treasonous slavers and the decades of conflict running up to the civil war. Go crack open a history book.

Just imagine if the bears had taken Mahomes at 3

Perfect screen play and a fantastic block down field

11 killed and six wounded. The murderer believed that middle eastern men/"Muslim terrorists" were part of the "caravan," and that Jews were responsible for the whole thing.

He appears to have been a Nazi with intense hatred for Jews, immigrants, and refugees. He was spurred on by conspiracy theories being pushed that George Soros is somehow funding the "caravan" of migrants from Central America. He also seems to have hated Trump, as he believed Trump was soft on them/Israel because they controlled him.

two more packages

Shortly after the arrest was announced today, President Trump joined his supporters in a "Lock Him Up" chant directed at George Soros, the first bombing target.
