According to two law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation, authorities believe several of the packages went through the US Postal Service facility, roughly 12 miles from Miami.

1. 60 miles from Mar A lago.. maybe it's Eric Trump. Nt

2. That would explain the bombs' "failure".

He's not working with a full deck, and Bombs for Dummies probably isn't the best source.

5. LOL, I had the same thought earlier today --

after someone on MSNBC described the MAGAbomber as "not the valedictorian of his class at bomb-making school".

3. Because of the timing, 12 days before the election

I still say this is an attempt to influence the election. Somebody thinks that mailing these bombs will spark hatred toward the "enemy" targets, or rabble rouse their base, and change the course of the election.

7. +++ agree

9. The effect was that it stopped the Caravan coverage in it's tracks

So it is actually helping dems. Also, Independents are not going to take kindly to the bombing attempts.

4. Interesting..

"..several of the packages went through the US Postal Service facility, roughly 12 miles from Miami."

6. Once they know where they are mailed from

Next step is to look for stores selling the materials and packaging used and start pulling receipts to find out when they were bought and hopefully there is security video of the same time.

8. Don Lemon mentioned that several of the packages didn't have postage. To me that means

the person who sent these bombs works at the Opa-Locka post office.
