Wow, what a shameful and deceptive abuse of a terrible event.

They tried to just list bad things, talk about Trump menacingly, then talk about bad things again. Yet, it made no sense how those different topics were connected.

Is Salon really continuing a 40 year old dog whistle, pretending Regan gave a speech there because of the racial attack nearly 20 years before that?

The FBI made the child molestation accusations, having been watching them, about it and guns before the newspaper article. They then infiltrated with undercover officers and really were there to stop assault riffles as they thought they were converting AR-15's to. The FBI ignored that they had a legal gun business and previous cooperation with law enforcement.

It all happened under Bill Clinton and Republicans used that against him, although the public probably didn't need much push. There was quite a political flip to Republican afterwards. The whole disaster was lead by Democrats, newbie Janet Reno gave the go command and many hard to ignore accusations later suggested the first lady pressured US AG Webb Hubbell to push Janet into doing so. The Democrats lambasted any criticism as GOP extremists conspiracy theories for a decade afterwards, "Wakophiles", or something.

Was it just a terrible event? Or was there maliciousness on behalf of the government?
By similar logic, we could say that IRS agents, FDA bureaucrats and the like are trying to ensure public safety when they enforce laws against the sale of unpasturized milk. Yet, in most cases, as was the case with Al Capone and the likes, the gov't rarely goes after a foe on equal footing under the exactitude of the law. Rather, they invent terms like "racketeering" and mail fraud and any number of other peanuts jay-walking type charges to file "trumped up" charges in order to litigate the real issue they don't like.
Here, with Waco, it seems like they didn't like separatists with a standing militia. At least, that's the popular understanding.
The rest of the charges may or may not have been present. If they weren't present, if they didn't steal children from off the streets and force marriages, if they didn't stockpile dynamite to take on Capital Hill, then maybe the government was terrified and acted criminally.

Wako was fucked. The government invaded a bunch of people living how they wanted to.

Orange man bad- therefore this piece by Salon, a publication noted for its painful adherence to nonpartisan facts, is incontrovertibly true. To even suggest otherwise is a thought crime and an arrestable offense.

"Orange Planet bad" FTFY, and anyone caught in his gravitational pull has been brainwashed and is a danger to us and themselves and must be brought down like a Chinese weather balloon, a country that Orange Planet is obviously in collusion with while simultaneously being racist. He is a Russian foreign agent, while fighting our socialistic tendencies and truly damaging this country and our freedoms to host d-queen story hour. Anything not by MSM of which Salon is the pinnacle example of facts and morality is false news. /s

Salon published a piece by a pedo.

Only one? I'm sure some digging would unearth more.

It was in 2015, and they deleted it after Trump was elected and started going after pedos.

Salon.com - LOL!

Wow, it's like it's 2005 all over again. Hey, let's read a review of the latest Micheal Moore movie where he punches down on the white working class!

You will be shocked at how ignorant Americans are

Blame The Childish, Ignorant American People.

Good old Salon, always here to keep us informed with hot takes. Aren't their articles written by AI now? They easily could be, given the subject matter they're always writing about.
