Looks like this one was just literature.

I'll bet you anything if the perps are some unhinged nut jobs that voted for Bernie Sanders the narrative from you will instantly change. This is what's wrong with politics people rush to defend "their side" and instantly blame "the enemy".

How about we get all the facts first then have a rational discussion and also not treat people with different political leanings as devil worshipers.

Or, the perps are Russians who sent them specifically to further the divide in the U.S.

I think it makes the most sense that it’s Democrats or Bernie supporters that mailed bombs to all democrats and a publicly vilified by the president “liberal” news outlet. Classic team sports mentality to assume it was a right winger who did this. Probably was antifa now that I think about it. Or MS13.

It was probably that Obama fella. I mean how can you trust a guy who forged a birth certificate just to become President?

Was there confirmation that the bombs were real or just duds to scare people?

The one to Soros was a pipe bomb, the other ones were all envelopes that it doesn't sound like they have said what the contents are.

Targeted killings don't always meet the definition of terrorism. It'll depend on what the motivations are.

Edit:

Mitch McConnell the Republican Senate leader has already called it terrorism.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House Press Secretary, has already referred to the acts as "terrorising". Paul Ryan, the Republican Speaker of the House, has done the same.

https://globalnews.ca/news/4592670/d...clinton-obama/

Those are the spokespeople for the President, the Senate, and the House all referring to the bombs as "terror".

So hipster coffee shop is the new orange julius for made up bs.

It makes a lot of sense that it would be Russia behind this. They are dividing the US and escalating the rhetoric, it’s getting pretty damn scary to watch.

I'm curious, Matata. Are you effectively defending these actions because Obama is a Democrat? Or black? Or both? Or, despite nik's attempt to be charitable, are you actually unintelligent enough not to realize why this is happening?

Given the alleged mistakes in the addresses, the apparent construction errors in the bombs themselves, and the overall seeming incompetence of the bomb-maker, it seems more reasonable to me to believe that it is someone in the White House who is behind it all.

What are the odds this leads to copycat followups in the next few days? Bunch of basement dwelling MAGA turd-slimes realize now is their time to get in on the action with a cowardly act of their own?
