> [@SaharaTea](#): > > KAC knows exactly what she’s doing when she spouts these lies. All she has to do is wrinkle her nose, say “massacre”, and poof! She just invented a new alternative fact for Breitbart readers. I realize it runs contrary to the “Trump and his minions are supergenius information ninjas playing a game too complex for mere mortals such as we to ever hope to comprehend” theory favored by a few hungry individuals on this site and elsewhere, but in my hopeless naiveté, I think sometimes they just fuck up. They have done an excellent good job insulating themselves against any _consequences_ from fucking up, but not every belch from the Diaper Don’s Twitter feed or perfumed coil of excrement slithering from Conway’s lie-hole is another checkmate on the _n_-dimensional chessboard. ---

Sure, but the current administration seems highly likely to continue the tactic, does it not? I mean, that’s the very topic of this thread.

I thought all he had to do was utter the phrase and Problem Solved. Why hasn’t done that? What’s he afraid of? Why has Ted Cruz been silent? What’s he hiding? ---

To be fair, the media did not really cover the Bowling Green Massacre, because it happened the same weekend as the Colorado Tsunami, that claimed 5,000 lives. ---

I’d be very worried if I lived or worked near the Bowling Green in Manhattan. The Trump administration may feel the need to **create** a Bowling Green Massacre just so Son-of-the-Never-Wrong’s ego is protected. And New Yorkers aren’t real Amurricans anyway. ---

The Trump administration may feel the need to **create** a Bowling Green Massacre just so Son-of-the-Never-Wrong’s ego is protected. And New Yorkers aren’t real Amurricans anyway. Yes, but he’ll need some extra time to put it together since he can’t use the same crisis actors he hired last time (that’s a problem when you habitually stiff the hired help). ---

> [@](#): > > …During a meeting on November 8, 2010, as recounted in the criminal complaint, the FBI’s undercover asset told Alwan “to pick up weapons from a storage facility, place them in bags, and deliver them” to a waiting vehicle… (cited above) WTF? _2010_? They’ve been stringing these guys along all this time? Who signed off on this, to what end? I have a guess how they got in. I’m guessing they were ostensibly working for our side, translators, snitches, stuff like that. Double agents, or merely slimeballs working both sides of the street. I find that little nugget about finding a fingerprint on an IED and then matching it to be a bit too convenient, I’m betting someone who really _was_ working for us ratted them out. And the FBI sat on it and fed it in order to find out who might show up looking to join the team. So, OK, if that’s how it went, and if they actually caught some bad guys looking to hook up with the Kentucky terror ring, maybe… But six fucking years? Did they get paid? By whom? Bleeding Og, were they in it for the _money_!?! ---
