Why would Republicans mail fake bombs to Democrats who don't even open their own mail? What would be the motive?

Warning shot?

"Awful nice secretary you got there, be a shame if anything happened to him"

As it wasn't a discussion of likelihood, it isnt under a requirement to he.

In other words, it was a totally pointless post meant only to ....what?

So they can do exactly what they're doing: blaming Democrats.

Or, if you wish to remain in the nihilistic dystopia the Trumsters are ushering in

It was a double-reverse false flag. Right winger mails fake bombs to Democratic lawmakers in attempt to frame up left-wing activist for the crime of attempting to frame up right wingers, figures the bombs should be ineffective in order to make it look more like the sender did not really wish for the Democratic lawmakers to come to any harm.

"Some bomb technicians who studied photos of the device suggested that the bomb sent to CNN had hallmarks of fake explosives — the kind more typically depicted on television and in movies, rather than devices capable of detonating.

"A digital clock was taped to the middle of the pipe, a feature that experts say is typically shown on fictional bombs in an attempt to ratchet up dramatic tension, but unnecessary in real life.

"In fact, bombmakers generally avoid attaching visible clocks to their devices to keep from tipping off their targets about when the bombs are set to explode."

So what? A stupid Trump supporter isn't exactly a stretch of the imagination.

If you believe that them being fake means it must have been Democrats faking this whole thing, then you've answered your own question.

Please do not generate lists of logical possibilities. It is a waste of time.

I don't find it pointless. I finda discussion over a range of possibilities regarding an issue a richly rewarding experience.

A quote from the failing New York Times?

"A law enforcement official says tests have determined that a powder found inside an envelope delivered to CNN along with a pipe bomb was harmless."

Ahhhhh, the ol' reverse-whammy, double-whammy, whammy-whammy trick! It's second time this month that I've fallen for it.

Even if those 'possibilities' are outside the range of common sense or logic? May I suggest the Conspiracy Theories thread?

Especially those.

It isn't a conspiracy unless if I assign an appropriate level of probability.

Now you're just "Bobbing".

Off the top of my head?

Revenge for "pizzagate".

Justice for the Hillary "murders"

Justice for Soros "being in the SS & rounding up Jews.

Justice for the American people when they were tricked into electing a "secret Muslim born in Kenya" to President.

Protecting the country against the liberal "mob".

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Wednesday night hit back at CNN over the network president's fierce criticism of the Trump administration's rhetoric toward the press following a bomb scare at CNN's New York City office.

"[President Trump] asked Americans 'to come together and send one very clear, strong, unmistakable message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the USA' Yet you chose to attack and divide. America should unite against all political violence," Sanders wrote on Twitter.

Linky.

President Donald Trump pointed the finger Wednesday night at his opponents and the news media for the turbulent national political environment, on the same day it was revealed explosive devices were mailed to the Obamas, the Clintons, CNN and other public officials.

...

"Any acts or threats of political violence are an attack on our democracy itself. No nation can succeed that tolerates violence or the threat of violence as a method of political intimidation, corrosion or control, we all know that. Such conduct much be fiercely opposed and firmly prosecuted," he said.

"We want all sides to come together in peace and harmony. We can do it. We can do it. We can do it. It'll happen."

Then he pivoted, saying those in the political arena "must stop treating political opponents as being morally defective."

"The language of moral condemnation and destructive, routine -- these are arguments and disagreements that have to stop," said Trump, who has routinely labeled Waters "crazy," referred to the news media as the "enemy of the people," called those who held up his Supreme Court nominee "people that are evil" and blamed "both sides" when a neo-Nazi ran over and killed a counter-protester in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Linky.

So many bombs. So few explosions. Are we sure this is a terrorist attack?

Well, the attack was perpetrated by a Trump supporter so we expect a certain level of incompetence.

I saw terrorism in this thread. I'm not sure about attack.

ETA: there it is

Is it an attack if it was fake?
