different leftists groups including antifa have been doing this shit continuously and oddly enough it gets completely overlooked by the media and people who would just like to pretend this is exclusively an issue on the "right"

In response to "how is praying going to help":

Obviously, if there was no God, it wouldn't.  Obviously, if we didn't believe there was a God, we wouldn't bother praying.  But, obviously, we do.  That being said, there is still the chance that he won't intervene in any way (which I personally believe is that case much of the time).  But, I have been generally praying for sanity and civility to come back to the world at large.  The #1 thing that will stand in the way of that, is that God will never interfere with someone's free will.  If someone decides to do crazy things like send bombs in the mail, then they'll do that.

Making the assumption that this was a legitimate attempt to kill people, some may say that prayer caused none of them to go off.  Whether you believe that or not may just come down to whether or not you believe in God in the first place.  Even if you do, you can then ask, "why did he stop this, but not something like 9/11".  And, I think it's a fools errand to try figure things like that out.  I believe that we are all a part of God's story, and his will be done, and there is no way to try to "think like God".

Bottom line: we pray, and I believe that God sometimes listens, depending on all possible repercussions (he sees all outcomes of everything).  And, even tragedies have a lot of good come out of them.

"These guys do not "hold a top spot in power.""

oh ok so if a homeless person beats and rapes a woman that's ok right? since he doesn't "hold a top spot in power."?

are you fucking serious?

i'm seriously getting tired of this fucking retarded rhetoric coming out of academia

People would stop referring to them as our enemy, if they'd stop BEING our enemy.  Stop acting like he said something "outlandish", when it's plain as day that all they do is lie, cheat, and steal, in coordination with Democrats everywhere.

"I repeated that comment, in quotation, because it somehow escaped you that he was saying that what influential leaders/people in power say have massive consequences."

he was speaking about trump's influence on right wingers

my point is that its a stupid argument because the left has been more violent and disruptive for the past few years

and this argument

"You're asking me if I'm "fucking serious" when you replied directly to someone that said said "The other side doesn't hold the top spot in power at current""

pushing the idea that people need to be in power to have an influence or for their actions to matter is ridiculous

who then is influencing the leftists like antifa? who is influencing these people to attack people, block roads etc etc etc?

"you still don't get it."

i understood both your arguments from the very beginning, that's why i was pointing out how stupid they were

"is probably not going to inspire nearly as many people to act out in violence as the president of the United States."

and yet there is antifa... who then is giving these morons their marching orders?

That's literally the first I've heard of it, and sorry, but I'm not clicking on Newsweek.  If people in media had literally been shot at, it would not be such unknown news.

"Since Trump said that, there have already been multiple lethal shootings/threats of shootings at news media."

citation please 

not with regards to threats those have been a thing for decades especially with the news media lying to push wars in other regions

This is what happens when you have a president that calls for his base to see people they disagree with as enemies of seeking to destroy the nation as opposed to people that simply don't like their political beliefs.

Holy shit guys really? This thread should be closed, this is not how you respond to what could have been a huge domestic terrorist event.

huh?

"The right wing and their practices."

"I say chances are there's a MAGA hat in this person's house. Of course the right will dismiss it as a false flag because they're pretty much trained to at this point."

these comments came from this thread, they are the kinds of comments i've been seeing leftists making since trump went in office...

are you in the twilight zone or something man?
