Looks like the bomber did in fact blow himself up. It will be pretty ironic if it turns out that it's some MAGA fuck that effectively became a suicide bomber.

Confirmed: it was a 24 year old white male. Who is surprised?

@Matthewconner84 @FeedingTubePaul Now we're all just waiting to find out who this guy was and what his motives are.

If he's brown (looks like he was white in the surveillance footage): TERRORIST

If he's white, Brietbart will say it was Antifa no matter what, because they do that with literally everything.

@FeedingTubePaul @Matthewconner84 From what I heard earlier, it sounded like there has been an explosion not related to this person already. Maybe an accident, or maybe a totally unrelated copycat - that's a possibility.

Also keep in mind that breaking news tends to be kinda confused by nature, though.

@Matthewconner84 @FeedingTubePaul Either way someone responsible is dead, that's worth a smile and a coffee.

@Matthewconner84 @FeedingTubePaul Why? Is he going to become un-dead?

@FeedingTubePaul I'm watching it on a different source. They're all smiling and having coffee. ha

BREAKING: The Austin bombing suspect has reportedly been killed in an officer shootout.

@cephalopie That seems like a pretty easy answer to me. Don't have kids you can't afford, and don't ditch your kids that you had in past relationships. It's as though the majority of marriages don't end in divorce, anyway.

@cephalopie If people didn't ditch the kids they had in previous relationships, it wouldn't be an issue regardless of marital demographic.

@Jydan Oh I bought it immediately after the program aired. As did many others, apparently.

As of right now, John Oliver's book about gay bunnies is currently the #1 BESTSELLING BOOK ON AMAZON, while Pence's book isn't even in the top 10.

A+ level trolling.

At the end of his show on Sunday, John Oliver proclaimed that the only thing likable about Mike Pence is the fact that he has a bunny rabbit named "Marlon Bundo". Pence's family published a kid's book about Bundo and life in the White House, which was released today, the 19th.

So Oliver announced that he was publishing a kid's book about gay bunnies getting married while an evil stinkbug who looks oddly like Pence tries to stop them. He published it on Amazon during his show, late on the 18th.

lmaooooo I told the guy off for posting sexist shit and he immediately took down his Facebook page. Probably on a delete spree.

MAKE SEXISTS REGRET AGAIN.

@DeidShaw He messaged me endlessly. He was part of a semi-popular band in the 90s and thinks he can still trade off that, like anybody cares. 🙄

This guy is baffled as to why I'm not interested in either dating him or being his friend, and why I blocked him from messaging me. Well gee buddy, I must just be confused.

@th3j35t3r I'm a pretty centrist and of no party affiliation. Though I strongly side with the Democrats in this current political hell hole we're in (by virtue of the fact that the Republican party has lost its damn mind), I still wouldn't call myself a "Democrat".

By the same token, I think a lot of rational conservatives are no longer "Republicans".

No. Gen Kelly will do as he is told, always. He's smart and is good at keeping certain comically unsavory characters out of the White House, but his support of keeping up Confederate flags, as well as some of the outright lies he's told on TV for have vastly lowered my opinion on him.

McMaster, I don't know. He's a warhawk. He's okay as long as there is Mattis to reign him in.

@RogueLaure Oh I know, I don't do it because I think he sees it, I do it because it's better to laugh than sob uncontrollably at the state of my country.

The last remaining non-impulsive, non-sycophant on staff is Gen. Mattis...if they lose Mattis then all is lost, outright.

I knew would fire Tillerson as soon as Tillerson broke ranks and was quoted as being really concerned over Russian involvement in the nerve agent poisoning in the UK yesterday.

Him nominating a female CIA director is a nice idea, but the fact that she's pro-torture and pro-coverup is some deeply bad shit.

Fwiw I never entirely hated Tillerson. Unsympathetic character, but kept his head down and wasn't afraid to contradict . Honestly I felt like he did better than expected.
