Mossad?

 

Agree with what GG and DButton said that it's unlikely -- doubly so for my tea leaf reading considering the first wave of social media propaganda after the explosion (within minutes) from Syria, Iran and Hezbollah cut outs were all about an Israeli fighter plane initiating the attack. That much disinformation so fast makes me rule them out.

2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded from a nearby fire.  The cause of the fire hasn't been disclosed.

 

In any event, who stores ammonium nitrate next to a fireworks warehouse?

 

The fertilizer had supposedly been there for about 6 years. Not sure if that came before or after the fireworks.

I saw that story, but there was another one that said the 2,700 was an accumulation of the nitrate over the 6 year period.   In any event, it's massive incompetence to store that quantity in an urban area.

Whoever was storing that stuff was selfish, or stupid or bad actors.

If Lebanon wasn't a failed state, they'd probably enforce regulations that are or were once in place to prevent such a dangerous situation.  That would have taken care of selfish and stupid.

Thousands of lives are affected by this tragedy, if not lost, and you all think it's a big joke? Is there any wonder why no one takes you seriously?

 

Your lack of interpretive skills are what's funny.

 

As Trump says of the pandemic, "It is what it is".

 

What a great leader.

And that’s the problem with how warped your mind really is.  This has nothing to do with him, it’s a human tragedy that affects many people.

I'm very much aware of who YOUR president is, Hemp.

BTW -- "Some people did something." That's your party. Right there. A bunch of racists and anti-Semites.

 

Somebody's smoking.

He doesn't recognize the obvious, because he's too ignorant of history.

...interesting....looks more like "Peaceful Portland".......sad about thousands of years internationally with warring ETHNIC factions......a prime example of racism albeit ethnic, that is ingrained with NO end in sight......

Can you leave just ONE thread alone so the adults can have a conversation without you flying in with yet another unrelated, unhinged Trump comment?

.....and continue to exhibit his racist thinking. Watch this example:

 

 

The reporter was in fact trying to help make the case Joe is coherent....it failed miserably.

 

Maybe Joe thought he was scolding Hunter about his cocaine problems.

Has Early Onset Joe announced when he and his Dr. wife Jill plan on meeting their new grandson in Arkansas yet? Will he announce that date before or after he names his black ***** endowed running mate? What’s the over/under on that? And as a side bet, will it be the spit roasted “Heels up Harris”, or the Benghazi “Disgusting Internet Video” Liar and Unmasker Rice?

That's not fair.

 

Joe is not early onset

 

He is a 77 year old and acts like it.

President Reagan was 77 when he left office.

Biden would be older than that when he enters the office... if he gets elected.

You know how the press liked to hammer Reagan about his mental capacity.

They won't touch Joe.
