Is It Just Me?
Okay, Guys, I think whoever did this has a goal of creating chaos at election time.
Second, for Donald Trump to say we need to unify as if bullyism and threats of violence are being caused by both sides, is insane. When you create a social structure based on threats of violence and hate, then you encourage this kind of stuff.
And, by the way, this kind of stuff is terrorism.
A President would have said ” I know I may shout at others and may become to animated but…I want everyone to stop for a moment and be more civil” The again there are people who still believe in ghosts and angels! trump will never say he was wrong or did anything wrong, his statement did nothing to stop these scare tactics he is using . People are afraid that is all and wrongly follow this bully.
1yeah I have to agree with you and am worried about trump declaring martial law to stop the elections & stay in power
2pResident tRump postures and prevaricates, but it is evident he is no leader. He’s a mere symptom, while he pretends to be the disease. Donnie is cover for the white nationalists to come out from under their racist rocks. Good luck to Jefferson Beauregard the Stunted to lay cover for this round of their current crimes. Pipe bombs as freedom of expression; doubt even Kavanaugh can obfuscate his way around that load of covfefe flavored boof.
3Do yall really think he could say it was an illegal election and declare martial law? I mean the vote is all we have.
4I saw where Jeff Flake said both sides need to tone down the rhetoric. If you look in the NSGOP book of phrases that make you sound concerned without really being concerned, you’ll find “both sides” just in front of “thoughts and prayers”.
5Maybe this is the “October Surprise” a lot of us were expecting? We figured something was going to happen to stir up the electorate before November 6. If so, it seems to have been botched. Putting the return address of Debbie Wasserman-Schultz on all the packages seems a bit heavy-handed, and none of them have exploded. So there’s no need for martial law, no cancelling the election while everything is investigated, no matter how many right-wing nutjobs insist that it’s some sort of false-flag operation and blame George Soros. Not that George Soros doesn’t get blamed for everything the Right doesn’t like. Sorry, Donnie, there’s no panic for you to use to your advantage.
6Men abuse women on a Southwest Air flight, because Trump did too. Idiot threatening people and new organizations with pipe bombs, because Trump threatens people all day, like a cable news channel 24/7..
He’s a role model for the lowest common denominator. His extremely vocal supporters talk to horse turds in the middle of the street.
This is Autumn 2018. What’s left to scare us on Halloween?
7I don’t think the person doing this is strategically acting to cause chaos at election time.
I think the person is riled up by the increased hype happening now and is acting to attack Trump’s “boogeymen”–I’m only surprised that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Shumar have not received any packages yet.
The perpetrator may feel a more direct action against the anti-Trump faction is required because they are going to “steal the election.”
So I cannot credit them with enough real intelligence to be strategic on the chaos consequences–just reactive.
8BFSMan. Indeed.
9Someone needs to whisper to Jeff Flake that the next time he finds someone who gets blown up because of a heckling— he can send a tweet out about both sides.
George Soros. One man trying to do good. Mr. Soros does not want us or our children and future grandchildren to drink toxic water while breathing coal and nuclear infused air. So, sue him.
On the other hand there are the Koch brothers, Shelly Adelson, the old dude with the plum ignorant to the level of ugly daughter and other contributors to endless war, destruction of the planet, filching of national and international resources, and greedy double down extortion of our tax system.
This would seem a fair trade. They can sue Soros, if we can pitchfork tax evading emoluments clowning Dotard45 and RICCO the last dime out of those who support the Toddler-in-Thief.
BTW Posse Comitatus this, Donnie. Despite your braying to the contrary, the FBI, the military and the DOJ do NOT personally work for you. Those are just a few of our non-partisan independent institutions put into place to thwart wannabe totalitarian dictators like you. It has been said that you’re not big on either reading or history, Tiny. But you might want to check out how martial law worked for Marcos, who was considerably more liked and decent than you.
10The whole build up of drama along with a few compliant pollsters the thuglicans can. and will, use as an explanation of how the voters changed their minds and swept the thugs back into office after crooked SoS’s (i.e. kobach, kemp) and rigged voting machines deliver us into another dark ages of ignorance, bigotry, oppression and disease ( science bad – delusions good ) of thuglican rule.
11Notice how we are starting to get a few polls from “reliable” thuglican pollsters showing r’s moving added to thuglican synponts in the press issueing fantasies of “middle” america returning to thuglican fold absent any evidence.
As you said in other post all smoke and mirrors.
It has been pointed out that these bombs were not delivered by the PO or any other delivery company. One was delivered by a courier service. Considering the fact the bombs (and white powder) were hand delivered to NY, DC and in California…it is not one person putting things in the mail…it’s seems too obvious that it’s a coordinated multi-person effort in three states, so far.
12Stochastic Terrorism:
The public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted.
Donnie is a stochastic terrorist, along with his friends at Faux News.
13update:
A Capitol Police source tells CNN that the Capitol Heights, Maryland facility, where a suspicious package was intercepted, processes mail for members of the House. Two sources tell CNN that Maxine Waters was the recipient of the package.
Packages to Soros, Obamas, Clintons, Brennan c/o CNN, & Holder, etal. — these devices, per law enforcement sources, were functional. Meaning the intent here was mass murder.
14Okay, I’m going out to check my mail. If you don’t hear from me again . . . at least I went out with a blast.
15Just when you think you needed no more motivation to vote, the MAGAbomber turns up …
16Is there supposed to be a link in this post?
17This was a topic at the office today. Agreed: whoever is doing this is big on coordination and planning BUT is he/she actually the one building the bombs? We also agreed that there is more than one individual involved here. And somebody has a very, very accurate USPS postal scale. Cannot imagine anyone toting those packages into a local post office for weighing. I am also betting 10 to 1 that each package was sent via a different post office. No batching. Bunches of them dropped off at the same post office would have been a red flag.
18Nah, Dan, it was just me spurting off about these bombs.
19Has anybody checked to see if Ted Kaczynski is still where we put him?
20Maggie, I weigh postal items on my kitchen scale- down to the gram. And the USPS obligingly makes it so easy to ship without actually visiting the post office.
21Bottom line, the DOJ and LE need to rein in the whack-a-bird loons emboldened by Donnie. And, the media needs to get on this and report who in the Senate (‘itch McConnell) and culprits in the House who restricted LE from tracking home grown terrorists. This is not new. Ask the SPLC, they’ve been tracking these haters for years.

“Fox’s Judge Napolitano: If NYT China Report True, Trump May Have Done What He Criticized Hillary Clinton Over” ^
Hair Furor has been refusing to ditch his insecure phone because he can’t/won’t transfer his Contacts to a new one. Like a guy who won’t share his phone with his wife (for “certain” reasons), 45 doesn’t want to see the problems with thinking he knows best despite the obvious consequences. And once again, his problems are really *our* problems…
