If you are any kind of armchair general ... you have to think the left, the liberal's, the democratic party is somehow involved in all of this.

Scare tactics this close to the trumped up mid-term elections that the GOP can't afford to lose would not spell the right wing, conservative, Republican party to me.

Are you poking fun at us Catfish?

This is a well planned scheme to __________ fill in the blanks.

And for no reason at all of course.

Yes, it's called stupidity.

So who is this "they"? Anyone who is not voting the Republican line?

Fun? I'm german so of course not. Never.

None of the bombs exploded?

Whoever did it, did a "good job" in further dividing and destabilizing.

Yeah, it appears the US is on its way to self-destruction.

All targets were Democrats, or pro-Democrat. The attacker could still be from many camps. A right-wing nuthead, an ultra-nationalist or religious fanatic, an extreme Trump follower. Even the Russians meddling with the upcoming elections again - maybe their honeymoon with Trump is over and they fight him by raising sympathy with the victims: his political opponents (the bombs obviously were easy to find, none of now eight, or is it nine, detonated).

Anyway, Trump's seed opens. The gaps widen. The polarization progresses nicely. The trenches get dug deeper.

And two days ago a man harassed a woman on an airplane, confronted by the police he quoted Trump.

Catfish · 10-25-18, 07:24 AM

Could also be a 'democrat' follower, or a right wing coup blaming it on democrats to discredit them; or a loony assassin.

Trump trashing the media again, prompting supporters to cheer "CNN SUCKS!". And now he calls for unity

Whatever, Trump in the headlines, #GOOD.

Sending bombs in the mail to people who everyone knows don't open their mail...

Yea it could be any one of those possibilities Sky and probably is one of them. A disturbed individual no doubt. But you did leave out one possibility. I'm not going to say what that is because I don't want to be accused of stupidity or having a virus. I prefer to wait and see and I don't think it will take long. And I am not going to be the least bit surprised if it turns out to be something other than what is being pushed by the chimps at CNN and MSNBC. Not a bit.

It's some crazy idiot sucked too deep into the whole QAnon crap. Obama, Soros and the Clinton(s) are all part of the demented ramblings of QAnon supporters.

Joe Biden and Robert De Niro have also reportedly been sent bombs:

The Jews did it

Didn't we use to have a member that blamed the Jews for everything

Onkel Neal · 10-25-18, 11:29 AM

Does anyone else find it interesting that not a single one of these "bombs" caused any damage or detonated?

And this shows up right before an election.... Sounds familiar

That is a good point and perhaps they were never intended to blow up (wraped in shredded glass).

Plus the six America flag stamps on each package and now for this:

Read carefully to see if you see any media mania in the coverage from:

The two bombs sent to former Vice President Joe Biden and a third to actor Robert De Niro on Thursday were similar to the devices intended for several other high-profile Democrats and critics of U.S. President Donald Trump, authorities said.
