...who sent the bomb because it was sloppily constructed and the package contained misspellings.
So....their argument is that if someone on the Right actually did send the bomb, it would have been better built and more functional?
Eh?
They are aware that they worship at the altar of a man who--as of today--was incapable of spelling the word "changed" correctly?

(1,004 posts)so everything they do is perfect, without flaw. Just like their president.
It's actually quite fascinating. I have a cousin who is on food stamps and gets other gov't assistance and she thinks that she and her husband are highly successful 1%ers because they have bought into the Trump fiction.
I'm telling you, this era is going to be the most fertile ground for psychology research in perhaps all of American history.

(8,133 posts)"sick" individuals. Some can fall partly into different personality disorders: delusional, paranoid, narcissistic, sociopathic, borderline, histrionic. To be honest, they don't really go into this area much in school. We sort of glazed over these disorders and really didn't study the cause or a "cure" for them or a treatment for it. Most of us run the other way when we hear the term "borderline" or "narcissistic" because they usually cause a lot of chaos and there is no type of therapy that works well with them. To some extent, they are viewed by most of as sort of "incurable." As far as dangerous sociopaths and narcissists go, we pretty much say throw them in prison and keep them there and that is no curing them.

Apparently it couldn't have been a conservative because the bomb didn't go off and the package had all sorts of misspellings on it.
