Scott Adams: why ISIS prefers Hillary, and thus no terror attack until after Nov. 8th
Scott Adams walks you through the logic. It's something Rantburg readers will endorse, but for which our good progressive friends will suffer cognitive dissonance. Which is his ultimate point.

#1 Because all sociopaths stick together?

#2 Scot is mistaken

ISIS has no real power to coordinate the various mini jihads committed by self trained terrorists

#3 The Missus and I were discussing this same thing last week. Why the recent dearth of terrorist attacks? We must be really, really safe now. /sarc

#4 I think ISIS is fighting for its survival right now. The near enemy is gobbling them up - their current fight is tactical and not strategic.

Concur with Lord Garth - most ISIS inspired (not directed) attacks here radicalized on their own, and actioned on their own timeline. IMO that is much more dangerous - the old saying is true, if there is Wahabi or Ibn Taymiyyah literature in the local mosque, we are always only one minute away from an attack.

#5 ISIS is more of a free-floating brand than a real orgainzation.

#6 Scott's blog is a fantastic read: insightful, and, increasingly courageous. He had to suspend comments because of prog trolling. He's been shadowbanned on Twitter too.

#7  #2,4 IMO, all "Muslim extremists" understand who's better for Jihad.

#8 Scott is literally trolling the Hillarybillies, making them foam at the mouth and reveal themselves for who they are. quite a plan.

#9 The headline is incomplete. Mr. Adam's tweet says "...no sponsored terror attacks..." Lone wolves inspired to knife innocent bystanders by what they read on the internet are not included in this prediction, which it seems to me is talking about the Paris attacks or Afghan-American Omar Mateen's massacre at that Orlando gay bar, during which he called 9-1-1 to pledge his fealty to ISIS.
