    Realizing this investigation has been quietly going on for 4 years now makes me think of all the other ongoing investigations that the incoming Trump administration will kill, so they can focus on fabricating reasons to pursue their political enemies.

      Honestly how are politicians ok with this? The pulled out all the fucking stops to catch Luigi. That took 4 days and this one is still going on 4 fucking years later? Regardless of sides there were bombs planted at both the RNC and DNC. I don’t see how both sides aren’t screaming for that to be a higher priority.

        Trump et al aren’t a threat to the oligarchy or capital. Actual people rising up and doing violence against their owners is a threat to the oligarchy and capital.

        It’s how you know (besides dems post loss behavior) that Trump isn’t anything different and nothing will massively change.

        That took 4 days

        And that was with him chilling conspicuously out in public and making no attempts to lay low, after making no attempt to hide his face during the incident.

    This is about the thing that happened years ago, not about pipe bombs discovered now (in anticipation of the Jan 6 that is occurring in four days)

    Kaczynski pleaded guilty to criminal charges and killed himself in a federal prison in 2023.

    I didn’t know it was suicide. I always figured it was from old age type reasons.

      He had been diagnosed with rectal cancer of some form in 2021. Presumably, it was a case of “well it’s not responding to chemo that well, so I either take myself out quickly or die slowly in a prison hospital.” I don’t like the idea, but I understand it.
