I am becoming increasingly convinced that this forum is the only human interaction that some people on here get. Either that or they forgot to put their tin-foil hat on when they were sleeping and got some of that radiation.

So, some people had what appeared to be explosive devices sent to their HOMES and the first thing out the gate is "false flag?"

Jesus. Really?

So, if it happens to Democrats/liberals, it's all fake and staged, but if it happens to the Party of Trump, it's a serious threat?

Come on.

You don't know who did this or why. And, you don't know if it was someone checking to see how easy it was to do this sort of thing.

There are some genuine nutjobs in the world, and they don't all stand on one or the other side of the party line.

Either this guy is an amateur flunky or whoever sent them knew they would not go off. No one in their right mind would think you could mail a bomb to ex Presidents and get away with it. I bet there is way more to this than we think. Who stands to gain if conservatives are painted out as crazy bombers two weeks before an election?

Well, know that when I hear that some people may have been sent explosive devices, strange powder, etc... I always think "calculated, partisan attack" instead of "crazy person."

Come on... this sort of stuff could be done by ANYONE.

According to this report, the one sent to Soros was detonated - a pipe bomb. Maybe it's fake news? Please help us out here.

Never automatically assume conspiracy....that will not get you far in this world. Let the authorities sort through this...they will determine what happened and more likely than not will find the culprit.

Patience. They're slowly revealing themselves.

Not only that, but what does get through is opened by staff. We used to have to mail stuff to a former first lady (now deceased) and there was a procedure. She never opened a piece of mail herself. Alias names, addresses, etc.. You don't ever hear about it, but Secret Service is on top of this stuff. They are very good.
