[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New conspiracy theory:
A soon as a gunman/terrorists/etc ‘s identity is revealed someone ( or foreign state) hacks into ActBlue and plants a very small donation in their name. 
Why ActBlue?
Possibly only because they have managed to gain access to it.
Definitely because it riles up division.

That’s very plausible.

My two cents: a foreign-funded terror group likely acting at the behest of a foreign government is sending a message to Trump (and Musk). The message is they are already here, they are already radicalizing our own citizens, and they can go bigger any time they want.

I’ve never lived in fear. I was on the Hill on 9/11 and I work downtown. I definitely will have a heightened awareness of my surroundings moving forward…particularly in the coming weeks. [/quote]

I don’t think so.  We are seeing similar attacks like in the German Christmas markets.  I believe it’s a global extremist ideology aimed at infidels and not a message to American politicians at all.[/quote]

Blowing up a Tesla under the Trump Tower logo is likely a strategic choice aimed at sending a political message.

The German Christmas market was likely run of the mill anti-Christian/anti-Western values religious extremism terrorism by a nut job. [/quote]

“Run of the mill” causes real damage.  NBC: If the New Orleans case is confirmed as an ISIS-backed or -inspired attack, it would be the first lethal assault by someone connected to or acting in the name of the group on U.S. soil since 2017, when an ISIS supporter drove a truck along a bike path in New York City, killing eight people.

In November 2016, authorities said, ISIS propaganda inspired a Somali refugee to drive a car into a crowd at Ohio State University and then stab students trying to help those hit by his car. Police shot and killed the attacker. From 2014 to fall 2018, there were 16 vehicular attacks in the United States and Europe “conducted by jihadists," including but not limited to people inspired by or connected with ISIS, according to a report by the think tank New America.

Remember, this happened under a Republican, just like 9/11. [/quote]

And?  The current actions are happening under a Democrat.  And the attacks in Germany are acting under neither.  Your attempts to make this political fall flat.[/quote]

This isn't "political" in that way. It just isn't. This guy wanted to kill a bunch of people as a terrorist under ISIS. I would hope that we all recognize that neither party wants to see that happen, and try to get to the root of the problem of radicalization. And I would say that if this happened a month from now. I simply don't care who the president is when a terrorist decided to act on NYE. [/quote]
