    Here's what I think. I think it's a Republican who wants us to believe it's a Democrat trying to make Republicans look bad.

    I don't get why anyone is trying to assign blame yet. We don't know who sent the bombs or why. We likely will know, hopefully soon. At that point, we can discuss the ramifications of rhetoric on the right or left, the intent of the bomber and more. But for right now, none of us know anything regarding who is at fault.

    Agreed. I think it is pretty likely they track the guy down in the next day or so.

    Both sides want to blame the other so neither side has to calm down the hysteria.

    It’s typical tribal mentality we are seeing and it’s all assumption based. This is exactly the danger I talk about when it comes to left and right ideology. Just leads to more and more hate. If it was some trump supporter, it will be blamed on trump and that he breeds this kind of behavior which I don’t believe to be true but hardcore trump supporters are nuts. If it was done by somebody on the left, the right will cheer because it wasn’t one of their own. It’s all just fucked. On both sides you have nutjobs, everybody has seen it. And in general there are a lot of nut jobs in this country. The narrative has already been created though and people are running with it. It’s more division. It’s why I don’t watch fox or cnn.

    Assuming this is not a "false flag" thing, I'm starting to think this bomber is the most incompetent terrorist in the history of terrorism. 10 bombs (so far), 10 early detections, 0 detonations, same construction method for each device, same delivery method for each, same return address on each package. I mean, it almost feels like one of those TV show/movie where some major criminal plot was farmed out to a dimwitted family member to give him a chance to prove himself. "Hey boss, let's use my sister's step-kid. He's got a crew, he'll work cheap, and he won't say nuttin'!"

    You don't think Trump and his rhetoric fuels this type of behavior? Honestly?

    Not all criminals are masterminds.

    It's possible that he made just one error - maybe he mis-assembled the trigger-on-package-opening device, or forgot to enable it or something. That's the problem with mass production, if you screw up, you screw up multiple times.

    But the more likely explanation is that he's a moron. Should have known that ex-presidents don't open their own mail, and trying to bomb DeNiro is just silly.

    Don't we always?

    Suspicious Packages would be a good name for a transvestite band.
