Ed George Soros and others targetted by Terrorist

Yes a pipe bomb that doesn't go off is the same thing as a can of gasoline.

Nobody is this thick.

When I was young, we made a bomb out of gasoline. Packed it in a shell. Never had a fuse to work to make it go off. Obviously, it wasn't a bomb, I guess.
 
Back on topic:

Robert De Niro... really?

Why send a bomb (fake or real) to someone like Robert De Niro? It's not like he has any impact on policy, laws, governing, etc? So why the need to terrorize such an individual?

I think this is more evidence this was not a false flag operation. Any liberal I know wouldn't even think of DeNiro as a possible target. A Trumpist who has been stewing about DeNiro's comments at the Tonys (that he/she probably read about on Breitbart) would want to send one to someone who insulted his God Emperor.
 
Here's the way this reads to me:

You're accusing Trump of intending to make an argument he hasn't actually made yet. On the basis of this accusation, you're interpreting SnA's argument to mean the argument you think Trump intends to make. On the basis of your interpretation, you're accusing SnA of making Trump's intended argument. But when pressed for evidence to support your accusation against SnA, you can't actually produce the argument you're accusing him of making. Rather, all you can produce is a different argument and a chewing-gum-and-baling-wire edifice of inference and speculation that you hope will stand in place of the evidence you need.

Well, no, but you knew that.

Slings and Arrows is blaming the Dems, either for faking the bombs or making an issue out of fake bombs, but rather than care about that abhorrent ******** you're more than content to harp on 'but technically he's not saying no harm'.

He's making a worse argument than the one you called a strawman. Happy now? You can be technically correct on one point while transparently running interference. Press all you want.

That Trump has already started to blame the media and dems is not the basis for my claim about Slings and Arrows argument, but I do in fact predict the latter will support and praise the former no matter the evidence nor the ethics of doing so.

The stokiometry to get gasoline to explode is actually surprisingly tricky when trying to use oxygen in the air as the oxidizing agent in an enclosure. Even gasoline vapor tends to burn quickly, rather than explode.

Now firework charges have solid oxidizing agents mixed in.
 
Won't it be funny when it turns out these mailings were just promotional swag for Larry the Cable Guy's new HBO special?
(see 2007 Boston Mooninite panic)

While you were away I found that the DONNY GRAPE JUICE ther·mo·nu·cue·lah* option works surprisingly well. YMMV

*spelled the way Donny would say it.

One thing I'll give The PDJT, he does know how to say "nuclear" correctly.

Are you kidding me with this?

I pointed out a strawman. Your rebuttal turned out to be something else entirely. Now you're agreeing that it's something else entirely, and yet somehow still mad at me for telling you that your rebuttal is something else entirely.

And all of this handwaving is your best effort to defend Darat's, JoeMorgue's, and AnonyMoose's spurious claims. Like, seriously, this is as good as it gets, for you.
 
Obviously since the part is commercially available, the bomb was fake. The Big Dog solves another one.

I admit I was getting a little suspicious myself, after a trip to Lowe's today in which I noticed whole shelves full of PVC pipe for sale.

y'all might want to take a "deep dive" into what exactly is missing from that "part" to determine why it does not make an actual "timer' or "detonator."

Not "A" bomb. 8 bombs. If you make 8 bombs, and not one is ever a successful bomb, you just made 8 failed prototypes on your way to a bomb.

Seriously, this is a dumb argument.

One bomb was found and destroyed, the other 7 were intercepted by either the Secret Service or other authorities and disarmed by the bomb squad. Why do you think the things should have exploded? Do you think that when the bomb squad got them that they should have just put them on a table to see what would happen? The reason none went off was because they were found and deal with in time. No one that has actually dealt with the devices has said that they would not have exploded, in fact the exact opposite seems to be the case.

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.

X-rays showed there were likely pieces of shrapnel inside of the PVC pipes, the officials said.

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

The bomb intended for Brennan was wrapped in tape and was designed to be functional, officials told NBC News. The device arrived at CNN's offices in a manila envelope that had an unknown white powder inside.

Hmmmm, who to believe, an anonymous poster on the internet, or the experts that have dealt with the devices and say "The bomb intended for Brennan ... was designed to be functional"

Hmmmmm, I just can't decide...

You lack imagination. You don't need an alarm function to use it as a timer.

Hell, no liberal I know would think about Soros, either. He is 100% a right wing boogeyman. And Brennan?

But if you listen to Rush Limbaugh, I'm sure you are very familiar with how evil they are.
