NEW: Prosecutors are treating the murderous mass shooting in El Paso by a racist white supremacist who killed twenty innocent people as domestic terrorism — and they will be seeking the death penalty at the state level & likely the federal level as well.
washingtonexaminer.com/news/prosecuto…
U.S. Attorney John Bash (@USAttyBash) says he’s consulting w/ AG Barr & that DOJ is looking at federal hate crimes & gun charges that could carry the death penalty. “We’re gonna do what we do to terrorists in this country— deliver swift & certain justice.”
washingtonexaminer.com/news/prosecuto…
Also worth remembering that near the end of July Attorney General William Barr ordered federal executions to be scheduled and to begin moving forward again in cases where a death sentence had been handed down.
washingtonexaminer.com/news/barr-orde…
Another tidbit: Biden flip-flopped on the death penalty (despite being its biggest proponent in the 1990’s), meaning the Democratic field is nearly unanimously opposed to the death penalty, w/ the exception of Bullock who supports it in cases of terrorism.

BTW — you can note the clear and accurate phrasing that I used in this reporting, specifically “domestic terrorism” and “white supremacist” and “racist manifesto”

Another fun math problem, this one from physics professor @DeanAstumian:

230 - 220 x 0.5 = 5!

Fact Check: True
230 - 220 x 0.5 = 5! PROOF

230 - 220 x 0.5 = ?
230 - (220 x 0.5) = ?
230 - 110 = ?
120 = ?

120 = 5! becuz 5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
It’s a play on words
(a play on numbers?)

DNC Chairman just claimed that in the 1930s no one said “sorry, we’re full” — actually the U.S. under FDR rather infamously kept out Jewish refugees fleeing Nazism in Europe.
DNC Chairman just talked about a baby in Senator Tom Harkin’s family born premature at only 1.3 (?) pounds but survived — and somehow this is an argument ***for*** the pro-abortion Democratic Party.

The DNC Chairman just said climate change “threatens our universe.”

So.

Here's a thing.
The right currently has a bee in their bonnet... a Babylon Bee, to be specific. The Babylon Bee is a specifically Christian satirical news site that is feuding with Snopes right now, as Snopes released a fact check of some claims that were circulating from its stories.
"Snopes factchecks satire now? Are they going to factcheck The Onion, too? Obviously this is anti-conservative bias."

Well, here's a factcheck for you: Snopes doesn't factcheck specific sources and declare them true or not. It factchecks claims that circulate on the internet.

I feel the winds changing. In 2016 people were worried about ISIS and Islamist terrorism. We had San Bernardino, Orlando, Paris, etc.

Now we have El Paso, Christchurch, Pittsburgh, etc.

White supremacist terror attacks are clearly the biggest threat to Public Order.
That's not to say white supremacist terrorism wasn't actually a threat back then. There was Dylann Roof. Breivik.

Nor is it to say that stochastic terrorism is the only kind of violence that matters, or even the only kind that scares people.
But people like their Public Order. People don't like to feel like they're waiting for the next attack to happen. Terrorism produces terror; makes people feel like they're under siege. No one likes to feel under siege.

Let’s be clear: the exclusionary, white supremacist vision of the US has consistently produced some of our most horrific acts of violence & domestic terrorism. Native American massacres & genocides, as early as the Mystic Village massacre of 1636.
