FWIW, coming so soon before the mid-term election, and at so many different locations, I wonder if the Russians are meddling in our elections again?
While people like you are terrifed of ISIS, people like me are evacuating our offices because domestic terrorists are sending us bombs.
Let's thank your blunt speaking president for putting targets on the backs of fellow Americans.
“Blunt” is not a word I would have chosen to describe the vitriol used against DJT by the left. There will be blood — that seems certain.
You could not be more wrong. There is only one prominent person in U.S. politics who holds rallies in which he specifically calls for violence against dissenters in general and reporters in particular. It's pretty sickening that a person like yourself who claims to be a Christian continues to make excuses for this horrible human being, and continues to blame the victims. I'm no longer practicing, but the version of Catholicism you adhere to isn't anything at all like the one that I was taught in school.
Here's what the malignant narcissist tweeted this morning:
A very big part of the Anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News. It has gotten so bad and hateful that it is beyond description. Mainstream Media must clean up its act, FAST!

Yes there are several words that can be used independently....but they might be considered offensive...ask Dave or Jamie for permission before unleashing those superlatives in the negative.

A right winger facebook "friend" of mine thinks it was done by the "blue team," though the rationale made no sense to me, so I can't even recall it.
A Left-Winger thinks it's like the Reichstag Fire, that Trump is fomenting violence so that he can declare Martial Law and impose himself as dictator.
Most of the vitriol against Trump seems justified to me. In fact, I think it is a duty. I can't understand people who do not criticize what Trump says and does. I can't think of much of what he says or does that is defensible. Should we be saying grab 'em by the pussy more often?
The right wingers are insisting that it was a liberal who sent out these bombs to Trump's "enemies." While that is certainly possible, and we still don't know the perpetrator, it's beginning to look doubtful to me. How clever would this liberal have to be to be so clued in to Trump's enemies that he included John Brennan, but then wasn't savvy enough to know he's a contributor at MSNBC and not CNN? Or was this person even more clever by misaddressing the package to make it look like he wasn't savvy? And this person managed to misaddress the package to Eric Holder as well, I guess to make it look like he was a nut job and not a mastermind of misdirection? And apparently was also so tuned in to Trump's enemies that he included Robert DeNiro. How brilliant, because most liberals probably aren't aware that DeNiro is that important as a Trump foe. So this liberal agitator is so clever that he includes DeNiro because it is so unlikely that a liberal would include him that it would make it look like only a conservative would have sent it.
Or something like that.
and the names of Hillary Clinton and John Brennan were misspelled on the labels. Because if a liberal wanted to make it look like a conservative sent the packages, the misspelling clinch it. Brilliant!
Maybe it's the same guy who went to Comet Ping Pong Pizza with an AR-15 to stop the Hillary Clinton child sex ring being run out of the basement, who has now decided to use his considerable mental skills in a different area and has moved on to bomb making.

I read that the Unabomber purposely used some poor spellings to imply he wasn't educated.

A profiler on CNN was saying that the misspellings are out of character for a person who planned the rest of the operation so carefully.
But the inevitable false flag allegations are out there. We don't know anything at this point, but the probability that these attacks were a conspiracy and not the work of a lone person is pretty slim. It could be a misguided liberal who thought he was discrediting the GOP. It's not impossible. But the simplest explanation of course is that the people who were sent bombs were targeted because the sender hates them.

He wasn't educated. He went to Harvard.

More like, the Sender heard the names of the people to hate. Heard the names over and over.

that too. Even if the bomber turns out to have been a "leftist" trying to discredit Trump, the president still deserves the bulk of the blame. He's the one vilifying these people, and glorifying violence. Without Trump's words, there's no plausible reason for anyone, from the left or the right, to send bombs to the people who received them.

I’ll take Stochastic Terrorism for a thousand, please, Alex.
Thank God, Cory Booker got his pipe-bomb today, confirming that he is still a serious candidate for President. But what about Elizabeth Warren? Has she become irrelevant? These are serious issues people.

HE'S Spartacus!
A man in his 50's was arrested in Florida in connection with the mail bombs. The Justice Department has scheduled a 2:30 pm press conference.

Yeah, he was driving around in this white van that was plastered with trump stickers and american flags. You can't make this stuff up. It's probably michael cohen's father.

He has quite a criminal history.
Hopefully, this time he'll get a sentence that will keep him locked up for a long time.
ps - A proud Trump deplorable:
Mr. Sayoc, a registered Republican, has a lengthy criminal history in Florida dating back to 1991 that includes felony theft, drug and fraud charges, as well as being arrested and accused of threatening to use a bomb, public records show.
Just spent my thrice weekly 1/2 hour with Rush and he's already able to explain the bomber hoax:
The guy's Trump stickers are not faded, even in the hot Florida sun.
If this guy was driving this van around in liberal South Florida, it would've been vandalized.
Thus, this must be a lefty setup.
You're welcome.

This has "Deep State plot" written all over it. Years of planning went into this charade meant to invent this "MAGAbomber".

"Vitriol used against DJT by the left?" Please! The vitriol spewed by trump HIMSELF is way worse and way more dangerous than what the left is saying. Are you blind?
