Ed George Soros and others targetted by Terrorist

[fagin]

Who wouldn't? Except for TBG.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Fake Indians, fake Honduran caravan, fake news, fake blue wave, and now fake mail bombs.

The only thing real about the Dimms is their desperation.

Depends where you get your news from i suppose. Fox/Breitbart may differ.

But it's nice that you find it so underwhelming....

"The bombs each were made from PVC pipe with a digital timer attached to set off the detonator, the officials said. And each bomb also contained powder from either a low explosive or a pyrotechnic, as in fireworks.

Multiple senior bomb technicians briefed on the case said that the aspiring bomber had all the components necessary to set off a successful explosion."

What is missing from this quote? What makes it fake news?

 

[The Big Dog]

They count in the sense that they were threatening devices, but lets not kid ourselves there was no way this ******* were going to blow up on their own.

Or as much chance as a pack of road flares with a wrist watch taped together.

Guess the New York times did not get teh news!

I don't know why I bother posting links anymore, the Resistance does not read them. Except if I do not post the links, they are unable to find them, and whine piteously about it; then i link them, and they don't read them.

Que sera sera

Okay I'm dumb this down as far as I'm able and willing to.

When you coyishly "Bring something up" for no reason, you're saying it but too much of an intellectual coward to just come out and say it because you want to poison the well but run behind "Who's saying that" like a child hiding behind mommy's skirt.

Nope. I am flat out pointing out deliberately made up straw men to advance silly partisan arguments.

 

[lomiller]

The strawman meter explodes.

Are you sure you understand what a strawman is?

What difference does it make that they were "sealed"?

LOL. It’s kind of a requirement for an explosive of this type.

Really, what was the detonator?

AFAIK investigators haven’t revealed exactly how the detonator was intended to work, just that they did include a mechanism to detonate the explosive.

The evidence that they were intended to explode is lacking.

It’s your contention that they were not intended to explode that is completely lacking in evidence and completely contrary to the know facts.

Er nothing...

I was respoinding to Mr TBG 'fake news'

The strawman meter explodes. Please don't lie about what I wrote, sad!

There is evidence that they were intended to terrorize, on that everyone can agree. The evidence that they were intended to explode is lacking.

who is TBG?

The claim that this statement is "There is evidence that they were intended to terrorize, on that everyone can agree. The evidence that they were intended to explode is lacking." is akin to saying "fake news" is beyond ridiculous.

Because your link does not day what you claim it does? Because you do that often?

It does not say the bombs are fake. It says that they are examining the possibility that they were not intended to go off.

So, they might be fake bombs, or they might have been real bombs that were not intended to go off, or they might have been real bombs that failed to detonate because, as the Unabomber found out, letter bombs are actually kind of hard.

All of that is still under consideration, nothing has been determined.

I don’t know why you ever did. In case you missed it the last 100 times people have told you. Don’t bother posting likes where you can’t process the information in the links into something coherent on your own. We are not about to do it for you so stop asking us to.

You'll have your conservatopia one party fascist rule in the US.. any day now! I'm sure of it!

 

[Segnosaur]

Okay I "get" all the Democratic leaders and George Soros. Those have been boogeyman for the far right for years.

But De Niro? That's sort of out of left field. Even if the bomber just wanted an example of a "Hollywood Liberal" on the list, De Niro?

Didn’t De Niro say he wanted to punch Trump in the face?

From: https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/11/entertainment/robert-de-niro-trump-tonys/index.html
The venerable actor ended up getting bleeped Sunday night at the Tony Awards when he dropped some f-bombs about President Donald Trump...

Trivia: Did you know that in WWII, and in the Vietnam War, lots of lots of fake bombs were dropped? It's true! They totally dropped bombs that didn't blow up, they must have been fake.

Sometimes they still find these fake bombs, in Berlin or Hannover or Hamburg; London, Cambodia, Laos. Everybody gets all excited, they evacuate areas, dig the thing up and blow it up or cart it off to blow up somewhere else (except in SE Asia, where they just blow up or maim kids or farmers, but they're not white so that's okay). All just for fake bombs that were clearly fake because they didn't blow up when they were "supposed to".

Ha!

Wimps.

 

[theprestige]

I'm leaning towards the conclusion that the devices weren't intended to explode.

 

[crescent]

And really, which is worse? Poor Mitch McConnell gets harassed in a restaurant, or Barack Obama and Hillary gets a bombs mailed to their houses?

I know where my sympathies lie. Poor, poor Mitch.

 

[The Big Dog]

I have been trying to explain that too.

 

[surrogate]

If I wanted to send a fake pipe bomb, I would fill the pipe with sand instead of actual explosive material and glass shards.

My friend Two Finger Wong was in charge of clearing out some of those fakes around Shanghai in '46. Gee, I wonder how he got his nickname?

In your earlier post, you claimed with absolute certainty: "...there was no way this ******* were going to blow up on their own."

For proof of that, you pointed to an article which contained statements like "...not immediately clear" and "examining the possibility" (that the devices were fake). Just so you know, things like "examining the possibility" does not mean "We have proof that...". So you were making assertions that were not even fully supported by your own article. To add to that, another poster posted a reference that went into more details, indicating that yes, indeed the devices could very well have exploded on their own.

Things change when it has a 100% failure rate. If that company never made a bomb that worked, they didn't make bombs.
