I don't know who took a picture of it. Did CNN open it? I don't know that either.
ABC evening news showed X-rays of the pipe bombs and discussed their construction - didn't catch their source, though.

I've just now turned on the television to see exactly who was on the list. The Obamas and Clinton, I'd grasped. And Soros. And Holder. But also Waters (so she came up in this thread not only as a loudmouth?). And Brennan. Then CNN.

Some are generic rightwing "enemies" (Obama, Clinton, Soros, Holder) but Brennan is more closely tied to a specific Trump-controversy and didn't Trump just recently throw off another Maxine-based tweet storm?

How ironic that at the very time Trump is warning of possible Islam-influenced terrorists among the Caravan that the immediate danger might be bona fide Americans influenced (at least in part) by Trump's very own mouth.

Well, you know, as Shaky said, all the world's a stage... On the other side of the coin, we could have had Hitlery. Unfortunately, we tend to have a choice between two bad flavors. That's what happens when (almost) everyone is cool with collective authoritarianism.

Yea, a whole lotta love coming from that bunch.
What does BLM have to do with Dems? It wasn't the Dems marching and saying that.

Trump handling the mailed bombs well. The so called MSM will play this out as far as they can, meanwhile ignoring the caravan and the economy.

I firmly believe this is a calculated fake ploy by the Democrats to take attention OFF of the massive migrant CARAVAN of Hondurans (enroute and flying THEIR Nation's flag by the way) and heading to our border to DEMAND entry.


If you notice there is very little front page photo coverage of the massive caravan of "migrants" on the liberal news online websites like MSNBC and CNN, even though this is a huge happening.

I think the caravan thing is unexpected and happening at the WRONG time for the liberal left. The issue is causing problems for them here prior to the mid-terms. They want to distract away from it, and drum up sympathy for themselves, and this is what they came up with.

Let the "conspiracy theory" accusations fly. That's my belief, and I'm sticking to it.
Of course. This is (yet another) Democrat conspiracy. There are so many of them these days. For the past two years, it seems like Democrats spend all their time framing the Republican party in different ways, making them look bad

I know they are, and I believe they are absolutely dead wrong about that!

Donald Trump won in part because of the illegal immigration issue. Most Americans WANT our borders secured and our country's immigration laws enforced and most of all, RESPECTED. This caravan only reinforces the need for that security and the application of the rule of law. It is a boon for Trump, NOT for the Democrats.

If the Democrats thought it would HELP them in the upcoming mid-terms to organize this huge onslaught of "refugees", then they are guilty of gross misjudgement. If that were true, why isn't there more coverage and photos of the "poor and tattered" Hondurans (mostly healthy looking, and mostly young men) marching defiantly towards our border on MSNBC, CNN, and NBC? I'm not kidding, go check out their main opening news pages. Very little coverage, and a BLATANT avoidance of many, if any photos of the mass of people coming. What I do see is that they are trying to bury it on the "back pages" somewhere.

Now, suddenly, we have "bombs" going to major Democratic political players. I'm not buying it. It's an attempt at distraction. That's my conclusion. Everyone else is entitled to theirs.

The same people who on a daily basis call Trump and his supporters Nazis, racists, bigots, and xenophobes are the same people asking for civility.

Go for it, libs. You first.

I don’t think we will need to speculate for long. The belief is they’ll have down who did this within a few days
