FTR I find it highly unlikely he is that crazy. Sounds like we will find out soon.
I'm leaning towards crazy with the intent of really trying to bomb people. I'm not a bomb expert like UT, but I still can't get over the fact that some (all?) were packed with glass. I just find it unlikely that he would do all the 'internal' details if he was just doing a hoax.
Prove me wrong, responsible media.

So what details of a fake bomb are rational, and what details are irrational if your intent is to intimidate and spread terror, if that's how you choose to classify this?
There is nothing suspicious at all about Jeb's van... How did they ever find it?
That flag above "Native Americans for Trump" looks like it is from the Miccosukee tribe. They run the best high stakes bingo in Florida!

So the story in some circles (given some credence by our own president), is that these bombs were completely fake. It was a hoax perpetrated by some left-wing person, in order to gin up anger right before the midterms. I find it hard to believe that if these are just fake bombs meant to affect the outcome of the election, that the perpetrator would go through that much internal detail. That's certainly not 'rational' in a peaceful society, but it doesn't take a crazy person to do that. Just someone who is an extreme partisan.

One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

I think what you're saying is that if your goal is perpetrate a hoax, it is only rational for it to resemble a bomb visually, and that since there were also some internal details that also resembled a bomb, it likely wasn't intended to be a hoax.
Of course we both agree that neither a hoax or failed attempt to bomb is a rational act for a member of our community.

Sure, if there is such a thing as rational thinking that goes into making a fake bomb

No, it’s still a big deal. Reason for panic? No. Big deal? Yes.
Well, at least it isn't the Russians!

I've made lots of fake bombs in my time. Do you think I was acting rationally or irrationally?
Depends. Can I see a photo of your van before I make my decision?
