Now we have an exploding Cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel in Vegas. You leftists are wack-jobs.

Why the rush to judgment. You said the New Orleans deal was "someone who crossed the border illegally just a few days ago."
Turns out he was a US citizen who had served in the army.

Now some "leftists are wack-jobs" you indicate are responsible for a Tesla truck fire/explosion in Las Vegas.
You know Teslas (built by the noted right wing wack-job Musk) occasionally burst into flame.
Just maybe that's what happened, and isn't fully known yet what the cause was.

You get some crappy news feeds there in Dayton. Oh, I get it. Trump linked New Orleans to illegal immigration.

All the media outlets rush to get the story out first with little in the way of fact checking or confirmations. Too many times, once one outlet reports something, everyone else runs with it, too, even if it turns out to be wrong. Now it’s being reported that the guy in NOLA had an ISIS flag in his truck and IEDs. The Cyber Truck is reported to have been full of firework mortars. I’m sure the “facts” will keep changing for the rest of today, at a minimum

Seriously, are you saying neither of these are terrorists attacks? Sounds like someone is getting a bad news feed in SC...

Re: NOLA, the truck crossed the border several days ago. There are 4-5 more co-conspirators at large. I think YOU need to let that one play out.
Re: Vegas, if walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

My news feeds are the most reliable because they are NOT legacy media. The legacy media that just told me confidently the “truck attack” caused the Sugar Bowl to be postponed. Look out friends! The trucks are attacking!

[XU_Lou]

"Teslas occasionally burst into flame" Oh, really Paul? Did that really look like a spontaneous burst of flame? Seriously??

Oh yea, 'built by the noted right wing wack-job Musk" Was that before or after he was a left wing wack-job?

We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself.

All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion.

You need to heed your own advice of letting it play out. You’re the one who rushed to judgment. If it’s not “legacy” media what’s your source? X? Lol

Regardless, there are now people dead, and your first instinct is to start blaming one side or the other like a politician. Maybe have a bit of sense.

The video clearly shows this was an explosion, not one of those EV battery fires. Paul’s media wouldn’t want us to see that video.

You have one guy who used facts, but had a shitty presentation night, apparently compounded by a cold and stuttering from childhood.

So let me explain something to you: X is a social media platform. News sources - left leaning, right-leaning and independent journalists post on X. The combination of those sources is far more reliable than legacy media.

When the planes hit the WTC building did you hold out assigning blame? Terrorism doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt.
