Gotta say, I am relieved the bomb guy is a MAGAt.

[fleur-de-lisa]

I was starting to worry that, since the bombs didn't detonate, the suspect might be a very smart person, familiar with making bombs, and knowledgeable enough not to get caught too soon.

But he's appears to be just another dumbass Trump Humper.

1. You could tell by the spelling

2. I kinda thought that anyone who would stage something like that would be too smart not to know he

would go to jail for life just by putting ANYTHING threatening in the mail ... 20 counts of terrorism, etc.

So ... it would have to be an absolute nut job who actually intended to kill people.

3. yeah I was starting to worry it was another Kaczynski

pretending to be a stupid trumper

But no it appears to be just an idiotic trumpster.

4. After the Jade Helm hysterics and their Pizzagate debacle...

After the Jade Helm hysterics and their Pizzagate debacle, I've stopped giving the RW any benefit of a doubt in regards to rational thought.

Thus, my first guess (and to date, still my only guess) was "another RW sub-literate idiot."

'Plans within plans within plans' is all well and good when we're discussing a sane, rational mind, but I think we're pretty safe presuming the MAGAbomber is simply another in a long line of lowest common denominators living among us.

5. Yup, Dumpty Trumpty is toast!

6. All the targets of this magabomber - did the packages go thru the mail system..did he

work alone? - The targets are all over the country...just two months ago a guy was arraigned in Mesa AZ - was found to have 30 pipebombs with shrapnel..and the makings of 30 more in his garage...he said his wife made him do it.....the mesa guy in his fifties as well....dunno.....

From pics of the pipebombs really couldn't tell if stamps date stamped....

7. We don't know anything yet...jumping to conclusions are best save by trumpers

[LanternWaste]

9. As conclusions on a message board are benign and without consequence...

As conclusions on a message board are benign and without consequence, I'd imagine there's no bad (or good as well) that comes from it.

As it's merely discussion, speculation, odds-making and inference we're engaged in... well, it's all part and parcel of the human condition (as opposed to just the trumpers you reference).

Given a more formal setting, with actual weight being giving to words and opinions, of would then be irresponsible. But as it stands, idle and benign speculation lacking any consequence is no bad thing.

8. I'm feeling a little better.

When I read that they had arrested a suspect and were going to hold a news conference, the first thing that went through my head was that's it's eleven days until the election. Just. Like. 2016.

I hope to God I was wrong.
