...is backing up the lie statement that the rightwing mayor made and we're supposed to believe that it wasn't rightwingers here in the U.S. that called in the bomb threats.

Okay.

whether that effect was 'magnified' by foreign agents could also easily be true.

...is just a diversionary tactic inspired by the untraceable vpn calls, it'll take the heat off the rightwingers who actually made the threats.

I really doubt there's any international intrique in this.

Do you doubt that there is international interference in our election?
This seems like a "gimme" for them.

...I'd even go so far as to say there's collaboration with internationals and rightwingers.

But I believe the bomb threats were pure American rightwing assholism.

It IS plausible that any of these countries could make such threats,
to stir up chaos in the US in the middle of our campaign---

but if there is actual evidence of this, they should SHOW it!

After all, it isn't Trump with the nuke codes, at the moment (thank God)


I'm skeptical but it is not implausible, not at all---

and to tell the truth, I was dumbfounded that there would be so many Americans
who would make bomb threats against America over a story which has been so thoroughly debunked---

but, on the other hand, I would not put it past the MAGGOT wing of the US, either...
Magats or Russian agents--- what's the difference at this point ?
