Yeah, that Maxine, encouraging folks to snitch Mitch McConnell's doggy bag. Sure is just as bad as trying to take out former presidents and public servants by assassinations.
Please, nobody was injured and the bombs couldn’t go off, thankfully. But you nitpick and act like all these nutty libs and antifa haven’t already physically injured people and attacked them everywhere they go. Do you care equally about any of these conservatives getting attacked or just former Presidents and other bigwigs that are well protected and have bodyguards and other folks opening up their mail in the Democrat party?
I think this week's events are an opportunity for all of us to look in the mirror and reconsider the way we communicate our political opinions. There is a difference between healthy debate between people who disagree passionately and demeaning those whose beliefs do not coincide with our own. Calling for violence against others, even in a joking manner, is never acceptable.

The director of the FBI clearly said that these were not hoax bombs.
Theory: He (the bomber) was paid quite well by the Democrats. They probably helped him plaster all those stickers on his van. And now, CNN is non-stop "We hate Trump and he caused this!" I just wonder who paid the guy? This reminds me of the Judge K fiasco and all the Avenatti-losingTrump-hating Avenatti that's been going on. It is well know Avenatti hates Trump. Something smells very fishy about all this.... Once again, this is not about those poor faux bombed democrats, it's about finding something to make Trump take the blame. Trump is not to blame.
Morale of the story: GET OUT AND VOTE!
I wouldn’t be surprised at all. Yes he did the act but what’s behind all of this. I doubt we’ll ever know. It’ll be covered up good but to me it’s to ultimately attack Trump. That’s why nothing went off as that wasn’t the purpose. The purpose is everything that’s going on now in the media.
The difference between Scalise and this would-be bomber is not one one Democratic congressperson or candidate berated or called out Scalise on anything. No lock him up, no fake news, no Scalise sucks, nothing. However, Trump has mocked and castigated just about every one of the Dems and CNN that the bombs were sent to. This guy even used the statement "CNN Sucks" that is promoted at Trump rallies. See the difference?

Also, CNN sucks, and the mainstream media is the enemy of the people.
Yep, delusion is very strong here.
To think that there is no difference between Trump exalting violence and personally attacking by name pretty much everyone on the MAGAbomber's hit list and personally posting a video of himself attacking a character with the CNN logo as its face and "no Congress people calling out Scalise" proves the opposite of your point Absolom. Of course it's different when a mentally ill person acts on what they are told by the President and one who acts all on jos own accord.
And it's also utter BS to say that the media only demonizes Republicans. The MSM spent many times more effort demonizing Hillary Clinton in 2016 and not Donald Trump, and there is tons of documentation to prove that, like the fact that 10 times more coverage went to her emails instead of her policy positions. And that carries through to now - the media likes a horserace and happily criticizes both sides to get one.

Some Suspected Mail Bombs Were Not Capable of Exploding, Others Yet to Be Analyzed, Officials Say
Some of the 10 suspected mail bombs addressed to high-profile Democrats and others over the last few days were flawed and not capable of exploding, while others have yet to be fully analyzed, several investigators said Thursday.
In some cases, the flaws were substantial. In others, more subtle, they said.
The news comes after investigators said the devices appeared poorly made and that it was unclear if they were hoaxes or simply cases of bad construction. Earlier in the investigation, officials in multiple states had described the items as live explosives and a number of senior bomb techs briefed on the probe said they had all the components necessary for successful explosions...
...None of the 10 seized devices detonated, and no one has been hurt.
