The only house in the neighborhood with Trump signs and two huge flags standing up in the back of the huge pick-up truck (you know the type) was set on fire early this morning. Three cars, a camper and garage were burned to the ground. There will be more footage later I would assume.
This is the reason we don't see political signs in yards this year. Wow!
This is but a sign of how hard things will be for this Nov. election.

(11,686 posts)I actually feel for those people. What happens if any of those cars were their only way to work or go anywhere? Does not matter how much you do not like someone you just don't do that. They almost killed some innocent creatures also while doing something to hurt others.

Or if there were insurance claims on the cars that would have been beneficial to collect - if one of the vehicles needed an expensive repair and could not be sold as is.
"Suspicious" means only that it doesn't look like it was something like wiring or a gas leak.
And yes, I'm glad they got the dogs out as well, although I also wonder if they were backyard breeders.

(102,378 posts)this for certain. Still, the anger is palpable this year. Ours because of Trump's harm to democracy and to our people. Theirs because of his constant drumming up of lies, hate, and paranoia.
So, I'd not rule out anything.

(3,157 posts)not too smart to handle key evidence.
"We heard an explosion that shook the house, said Deana Molla, who ran to the basement where her husband was finishing up his final day of quarantine after contracting the coronavirus.
She said her husband climbed out of a basement window in his boxers and T-shirt, and saw three people running and picked up a box of matches."
so quick acting sick man crawls out of a basement window in time to see 3 people running? did any neighbors see the suspects?

... The GOPs decision to preserve the 2016 platform keeps in place toned down language related to Ukraine that was negotiated at the time by Trumps then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who is serving a seven and a half year prison sentence on charges brought by special counsel Robert Muellers investigation into Russias interference in the U.S. elections.
Manafort, who was found by the Senate Intelligence Committee to have had direct contacts with Russian intelligence officials during the 2016 campaign, successfully removed any commitments to lethal military assistance to Kyiv as part of efforts to soften language towards Moscow.
That controversy became part of the larger probe into Russian election interference, Kremlin contacts with the Trump campaign and whether Moscow had influence over the then-president-elect.
And how the Trump administration dealt with Ukraine with Kyiv currently in a fragile ceasefire with Moscow where more than 14,000 people have been killed over six years of fighting in the countrys east became the benchmark to measure whether the U.S. was shying away from confronting Russias aggressive expansionist goals ...
