    Wow! Even FOX gave him higher negatives than positives? Must be a conspiracy right? Or maybe the folks giving the ratings are skewed?

    My friend,

    All this stinks to high heaven. All intended targets lived and get to write a book and do tours, telling their horrifying experience. None of them ever were in any danger, even if the bombs were real which they were not- they all have people dealing with mail from far away. The van, plastered with MAGA, Trump and ISIS stickers was meant to be found.

    Put 2 and 2 together?

    My friend,

    If the pipes did not have explosives in them, they would not have been called bombs. And with explosives and no detonators, they’re still called bombs, right?

    But if there were no explosives, they would not be called bombs even though even with explosives, these “bombs” are just as safe as a box of firecrackers.

    Right?

    That if you support JFK and want to emulate him, then you should be in the "far right" camp.

    Ah. Well, I'm in the, "LMC," camp. A little bit right, some way far right, some a little left, some way far left, always objective and ALWAYS AMERICAN camp... :)

    Keep in mind, Kennedy was left on civil rights and social welfare, and right on hawkish things.... Always sharp, and very kewel! A war hero! :)

    By todays standards, JFK would call todays Democrat party communists and an existential threat. JFK was a solid anti-communist, he would never associate with "progressives".

    He would certainly be in todays Republican party. He believed in govt spending, he increased the debt, he was involved in "nation building" and meddling in other countries affairs when it was not necessary. He would be a perfect fit for the Republican Neocon RINOs of today.

    He also famously said, "Ask NOT what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." Wonder how well that would go over today with most people, many of whom receive some sort of government assistance (including a lot of neo-cons).... But keep in mind that when JFK was young and Presidential it was a different period altogether. We were not a divided nation as we are today. Even Barry Goldwater would be considered close to center.... Really have no need for placing people into today's categories... and prefer seeing them for who they were ... individuals who loved America. :)

    MSNBC and CNN are further to the left than Fox is to the right.

    The media drew first blood. They were anti-Trump long before the election. They are actively working to remove him from office. He has every right to complain about them.

    "The Justice Department spied extensively on Fox News reporter James Rosen in 2010, collecting his telephone records, tracking his movements in and out of the State Department and seizing two days of Rosen’s personal emails..."

    snip

    "The revelations surfaced with President Barack Obama’s administration already under fire for seizing two months of telephone records of reporters and editors at the Associated Press."

    You go ahead and hang on your denial....

    Why would you think that? FNC has more liberals on staff than CNN or MSNBC has conservatives....

    So your ok with someone pointing a gun at you in a threatening manner if you think the gun is unloaded but have no way to tell if it really is until the cops come and examine it? What if the guy had sent 10 fake bomb to decoys and sent a real one next?

    And the definition of a terrorist act isn't restricted to loss of life. It's an act that is politically motivated to create fear. Fake bombs are just as effective as real one if you can't be sure, yourself, that it won't blow.

    Indeed. But...

    Look for the deeper ulterior motives, my friend. If the bombs were real, most of the suspicions just would not be there - guy was out to kill Democrats. Since the bombs were not real, guy was not out to kill Democrats.

    Why did he do what he did? The most plausible explanation or a theory if you will, he’s a Democrat plant.

    Wrong. That is just more intellectual justification for your failed position. The bombs had batteries wired to deliver a heat source to the powder. They just didn't work.

    The most plausible explanation is that he was more than a few cards short of a full deck, supported Trump, and some of what he perceived as the far-right agenda such as anti-gay rights etc. Every party has nut jobs. I wouldn't take it personally or waste your time trying to make a horse look like a Zebra.

    The guy was out to scare them. He wanted to pass a politically motivated message to them. He's been told for years that those people are evil or criminals.

    And are you really willing to go that conspiracy route? Really? You're better than that.

    Funny enough, the guy is almost a carbon copy of Robert de Niro character in the movie Taxi Driver. Probably why he sent de Niro one of his package. The guy is a demented fan of Trump. He believe he's part of the club because he voted for the guy. He wanted to do something to prove his worth to the cause.

    Trump, personnaly, has nothing to do with what that guy did. Trump retoric and message on the other hand does. We know he likes to be the showman and use trash talk to attack his political opponents. It isn't all that surprising that in the masses there's a cuckoo that will take that as a dare to act.

    that's deep. Is it based on anything in particular other than your own perception?

    Taxi Driver is a remake of The Searchers. Note in the clip below who doesn't enter the house.




    I'll let you put 2 and 2 together.
