“Both Mr. and Mrs. Tarkanian condemn these cowardly acts and agree with what President Trump said yesterday: ‘…threats or acts of political violence have no place in the United States of America’.”

But spreading “false flag” lies to blame the victims of attempted mass-murder is Okee-Dokee.

(GOP Jesus – and his journalist-killing Prophet Vlad – approve!)

I had to go look this up, but Dan is the son of the famous UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian, who was all but suspended by the NCAA for rules violations.

Wiki says that Dan is a perennial candidate for elected office. Looks like he hooked up with a like-minded individual.

All the more reason this fool should lose. We need no more conspiracy theorists all too ready to jump to conclusions short of facts.

Vote him down, Nevada.

Most recently, the couple stepped away from their roles as administrators of a popular “racist and conspiracy-obsessed Facebook group” after facing criticism from local press. Posts on the page claimed that the Charlottesville white nationalist rally was “orchestrated by the left” and that Islam was a “cancer.”

It’s interesting the the Reich Wingers went to the “false flag” conspiracy theory within minutes of the discovery of the bombs. It appears they may be more accurately be described as Reichstag-ers, if you know what I mean.

The conspiracy I’m seeing is that all these right-wingers including Trump seem to be saying the same thing.
Almost like they cooked up the cover story, blow back ahead of time …

Down 49 to 45 with a 3rd party taking 5 percent. This is a hail mary. Tarkanian is a name with poweful recognition because Jerry delivered a great run of college basketball and no one in nevada cares how much he and the program cheated.

Exactly along the lines of what I was thinking— except kind of reverse Reichstagers

It is hard to get into the head space of these people. I can only imagine it is like the opening to “Night Gallery” with Alex Jones providing the narration.

So she actually believes that the bomber used their own return address on the packages . . .? There are no words for this kind of stupidity . . .

“made some on the right suspicious that it was a “false flag” operation by progressive interests.”

I would have said "made some on the right pretend to be suspicious that it was a "false flag"

For all the sound and fury coming from the GOP all I smell is fear. Raw, unprocessed fear. Instead of being enraged I decided to start enjoying their obvious distress. These people are part of the clogged toilet that is their political party, let them marinate.

I’d love to see their internal polling.
It must be especially dismal.
