Well then, let’s just hang Trump. While we’re at it we can kill the remaining Beatle because the Manson Family killed a bunch of people based on a song. That’s the only recourse I can imagine because we couldn’t possibly stop playing this stupid game of blaming politicians for the acts of insane people. The bomber’s motives were expressly political, and consistent with (if far beyond) Trump’s expressed views. Anyway, the media also invariably reports that high school shooters are fans of Marilyn Manson or whoever whether or not it has any bearing on their stories. ---

For some reason I read the thread title as indicating that a Trump supporter was implicated in a Muslim plot to bomb something. Which would indeed be the height of irony. It has been reported that this guy is also [a Hillary Clinton fan](http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/12/21/hillary-clinton-backer-threatens-mosque-media-blame-trump/). Or maybe he’s just an effing loon. I’m getting overtones of the De Niro character in _Taxi Driver_. ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > He’s called for registration and mass deportation/exclusion. It’s not a huge step from there to Kristallnacht. Emphasis added. He did? I don’t know what it means to call for “exclusion”. Exclusion from what? ---
