In view of those observations about the bombs, I expect Trump to tweet the following: "The bomber had a very bad original concept. It was carried out poorly. And the bomb was one of the worst in the history of bombs. It's very simple. Bad deal. Should have never been thought of. Somebody really messed up,"

Sounds like something he'd say.

Limbaugh: Republicans don't do this kind of thing.

Is it possible some of the trash Trump has brought into the party is the type that does do this kind of thing? very fine people.

This was one of the worst bombs in history...

Here is the clock on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Clock.../dp/B014KS29W4

From my electrical engineer background I see a some problems:

- I think the battery in that clock is two small (not enough amps) to generate the heat needed ignite the explosive.

- The x-ray of the bomb indicates the wires are not even connected to anything on the clock.

- The amazon listing doesn't indicate that the car clock has an alarm function. One would think that an alarm circuit would be the trigger for the bomb.

- Making the bomb to be triggered by a clock/alarm is stupid. You want it to blow up when someone opens the package. e.g., use a photocell to trigger it so it blows up when it sees light.

MAGABomber is a dumbass.

It would be unfortunate if this kind of advice is out there on the alt-right blogs already so he can perfect his craft and actually kill some people next time.

Not surprising from Lou Dobbs.

The advice is already out there... you are not looking hard enough. Before the internet we were reading this stuff in books. Where have you been?

Yeah, this is not top secret stuff.

if it was meant to be a hoax I don't think they'd put the real components together and purposely not connect everything correctly. Just make a fake bomb, not a real one with the pieces not quite working right. This seems more like a nutjob who got tipped over the edge and suddenly decided to throw something together.

You think this looks like the work of a nutjob? You should call your hot tip into the FBI.

Pretty sure they already know that, thanks.

Who benefits?

Well, someone like Rush Limbaugh can if he can put a theory out there that gets his audience riled up enough that they keep listening to the show.

The ISIS parody flag was a nice touch...



Clearly it was the work of Larry the Cable Guy... Take it to the bank.

Ted, was 9/11 an inside job? Did the holocaust happen? Is the earth flat?
