Just personality-wise is he even capable of making anything but baseless accusations and empty threats?

Edit: today I learned that out of the blue he accused the US of being bad at chess mere days after they won a major international championship. This man is not an adult.

I'm kind of guessing the mounting evidence linking Assange and the FSB has caused Ecuador to reconsider granting him asylum. That and the state department, in a nod to classical Latin American diplomacy, let it be known that the Marines are only a couple of hours away and we would hate to have to use them to protect the integrity of our election.

The firebombing in North Carolina can't be divorced from the context where it happened. Arson was one of many weapons used to enforce white supremacy in the South, especially against a business or property combined with further threat against the person if they didn't leave town. These are literally some of the KKK's favorite tactics, just used against someone other than their usual targets. The only difference is that they never bothered with expository graffiti because it was deadly clear what they wanted.

So when a building gets firebombed complete with a "We don't want your kind around these parts" message, yeah it's possible that some random leftist managed to get the tactics pitch-perfect except for that little bit where it's the emptiest threat in human history. The whole point of it is to prove that local law enforcement lets you operate with impunity and nobody is going to believe that in this case. It's also possible that some right wing nitwit decided to use the tactics they learned from hanging out with a bunch of older people tied up with white supremacist groups to launch their own false flag operation.

As for why a false flag, people use the tactics that they think work and fringe right wingers are convinced that false flag operations are ubiquitous and akin to mind control in their efficacy. On the other hand the idea that there are people who support Hillary Clinton and firebombing buildings as a political tactic is hard to swallow. If we find such a rare bird in NC then I'll definitely reconsider my stance but for now it looks like some sort of lone nut with delusions of grandeur.

Re: the firebombing, also bear in mind that Trump has been inciting the white nationalist wing against the rest of the party for several weeks at this point. It was the local GOP shed, not the local Trump/Pence shed, correct? Since the Trump campaign hasn't bothered to pay for any sheds.

Which episodes were your favorite? My favorite was the one where the doctor has sex with a 500 year-old ghost who lives in a candle.

My second favorite is where the crew had to save a bunch of actual Irish people because the Irish are a bunch of lazy drunk hicks who managed to gently caress up their colony. Hilarious!

Or the one where Worf condones the only sane course of action and everyone acts like he's crazy... oh wait that was like 90% of the episodes
