Will never hear the song "Downtown" the same after that
Maybe the craziest part is that he played a warning message to make sure people living in the area could evacuate before the bomb went off.

Why he did that instead of trying to maximize the carnage the way mass shooters do is the biggest question to me. And we'll never know, apparently.

A guy who lost his mind to some of the wildest conspiracy theories available online built the biggest truck bomb in the US since OKC, detonated it in one of the most popular tourist areas in the country, on CHRISTMAS, and the media just kinda waved at it and then immediately moved on. That HAPPENED.

Of all the inexplicable, shocking, disorienting events of this decade, the Nashville "Downtown" Christmas morning RV bombing and the national media's almost complete refusal to pay any real attention to it remains at or near the top of the list.
This is a really good, comprehensive look at how 2nd Ave is STILL getting built back, 5 years after that guy blew up his RV in the street and the media mostly just moved on a few days later.

(also, the headline says “unexplained”, but if you read all the way to the end……it’s basically explained)

The simplest possible explanation for the Trump administration's actions is that Trump sexually abused minors with Jeffrey Epstein and there is further evidence in the files he's trying to cover up.
Breaking: The Trump administration announces that they will not be complying with today’s deadline to release the full Epstein Files.

They insist the files will be released in the next “couple weeks.”

"Look, it says Trump all over these files. Its gonna take a while to redact his name everywhere."
NEWS: Deputy AG Todd Blanche says the DOJ will only release a partial batch of the Epstein files today, rather than all of them. Blanche says DOJ needs more time to make redactions.

The most brutal way of telling someone they’re a few sandwiches short of a picnic that I’ve heard in French is t’es pas la truite la plus oxygénée de la rivière. It means “you’re not the most oxygenated trout in the river.”

Since it seems we're just making up names - I'm excited to announce that I've decided to rename the (yet to be built) White House ballroom to... the "Donald J. Trump Pedophile Playground"

Congrats to President Trump on this incredible honor!

This is extraordinary, heartbreaking, and a red alert warning sign for our democracy.

These people are about to be federal judges, and they refuse to answer whether the U.S. Capitol was attacked on January 6.

They say they can't comment because it's "a political controversy".
Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Was the U.S. Capitol attacked on January 6, 2021?

Trump nominee: *dodges*

Trump nominee: *dodges*

Trump nominee: Well, individuals entered the Capitol.

Blumenthal: You are in fear—how will you have the courage to be fair and impartial?

Heavily underwater in her attempt to become NY governor, Rep. Elise Stefanik is trying to erase her history with the NY Young Republican Club entirely, after they invited both overt racists AND German white supremacists to their annual party.

That's sweet. The internet, however, doesn't forget.
