#MAGAbomber is trending on Twitter. ---

For my neighbors’ peace of mind, I just want to state for the record that the box outside my door is a shipment of Hammond’s pretzels, not a bomb. ---

> [@XT](#): > > I’d wait to see who, if anyone is actually caught and/or implicated in this. Fairly sure that this was high profile enough that the FBI and other national resources are going to be shaking the bushes and picking up the rocks to see what turns up and, most likely, whoever did it will be caught fairly quickly. Yeah, I can’t imagine that whoever sent these bombs will remain unknown for long. Multiple packages, multiple high profile targets, there should be clues. Mail and package delivery systems have come a long way since the Unibomber days. ---

> [@Fiveyearlurker](#): > > Nope. When the head of the party encourages this, and the party is silent, then the party, and everyone affiliated with it, is responsible. And if the Pubbies don’t like the association, then they need to publicly dis-identify (Is that a word? It should be.) with the Party. That’s the reason for the first time in my life I voted straight Democratic ticket. No, not all Republicans are evil, but to avoid being tarred with the thump brush they need to get out from under the Republican umbrella! (Welcome to ThelmaLou’s Metaphor Festival.) ---

The photo we have of the CNN one doesn’t seem to show any postal markings, though we cannot see the complete package. ---

Apparently, Trump is about to speak. My money is on that he doesn’t come right out and say it’s a hoax by the Democrats to make him look bad but absolutely says that at his rally tonight. ---

My money is on that he doesn’t come right out and say it’s a hoax by the Democrats to make him look bad but absolutely says that at his rally tonight. Definitely–or he’ll let his mob yell it out, and he’ll smile that smarmy smile and say “Who knows, who knows. could be anyone… Many people say that’s possible, but you know, we should be careful… but you may be right. Could be antifa, no one knows for sure…” And not an ounce of genuine concern. ---

If you appeared on Trump’s Twitter feed anytime in the past two years, it probably wouldn’t be too soon to call the police. ---

> [@Fiveyearlurker](#): > > CNN reporting Maxine Waters got one to her as well. I wonder if there’s a pattern here. I’ve been watching the Fox coverage. Every time anyone comes close to saying these are targeted attacks, the host comes back with “hey, hey, we’ve got to be careful here, we don’t have enough information yet”. You can bet that if these bombs were being sent to republicans, they would be screaming about “democrat mobs!”. ---
