Does the mail bomb sent to cnn have an isis flag on it?

If “uniting” is what they want the democratic senators can all get together and jointly apologize for the shameful smear against Kavanaugh, they can apologize for the phony Russia conspiracy, they can apologize for toppling Ghaddafi and allowing the proliferation of black slavery in Libya, they can apologize to the Mexicans for not investigating fast and furious, they can agree for a full investigation into Hillary Clinton deleting hundreds of emails, like they demanded and got Richard Nixon, who won a landslide election from the American people, to resign after erasing less then twenty minutes of tape, and when Hillary bleachbits her server “oh nothing to see here but Drumpf is bad”

Unity my ass, show you want it

three women made accusations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh. It was looked into and he was still nominated. Looking into claims of sexual assault is not a smear. ANd there's a hell of a difference between allegations of sexual assault and terrorist targeting US politicians. FFS.

Yeah, it was investigated by the republicans, the democrats made stump speeches for their 2020 primary campaign. The Dems did exactly zero seconds of serious investigation nor did they give a sh!t about the results

And if a terrorist murdered Kavanaugh I doubt the democratic base would even care. They made sure the guy who shot Scalise was forgotten about pretty quick and when they did reference it they just wanted to make it about gun control. If who ever mailed the bombs is caught no one on the right will try to obstruct the justice system. I can’t say the same for what the leftists would do if the situation was reversed

Learning about the "bombs" this clearly seems a hoax. A bomber does not built and send bombs designed NOT to hurt anyone:

1. It was not a steel or iron pipe used. Rather, it is PVC pipe. What that means is the pipe has little pressure-buildup containment ability - meaning a very weak explosion. Gunpowder burns, it doesn't explode. If the burn expansion is not contained there is no explosion. If the gunpowder is weakly contained, so will the explosion.

2. They are on timers - rather than to go off when the package opened. So a very weak explosion almost certainly when no one is holding it. If standing nearby you would not be harmed by a PVC-pipe bomb.

Bombers don't design a bomb to not harm people nor try to make sure no one is holding it when it goes off.

So the real question is who would want to do such a hoax? Someone trying to scare Democrats? Someone trying to lay blame on Muslims? On Republicans? Someone in government with some bizarre agenda? Or just some real stupid lone wolf wacko with no clue how to actually make lethal bombs?

I agree this seems more of a scare tactic than an intent to kill. Still criminal.

Dude, your side is literally helping terrorists targeting US politicians by spreading lies and misinformation about who is responsible. Luckily, the FBI will not fall for the Soros sent a bomb to himself craziness.

No these devices look so fake, it looks like clock boy's science project, has the FBI interviewed him yet?

If the damn things were never built to explode then what does that mean?

Either a rank amateur or someone who didn’t want them to explode, I mean what else can that mean?

Looks nothing like the ISIS flag, except white shapes on black background. The middle symbol is quite clearly symmetrical, and doesn't match any of the Arabic letters on the flag.

If anything, that thing in the middle looks like the symbol for Iran

I see some guy in a basement, off his meds, thinking, "yeah, that looks Arabic, glad I thought to put that in there."

And that one was allegedly NOT sent to Wasserman Shultz but rather to Eric Holder but supposedly sent back to the return address due to the address being wrong. THAT package has obviously never been through the postal system.

This is all hinky.

Not only that, which is inandofitself very suspicious, the US mail would deliver it even if Florida was misspelled, the zip code is what they go by.. Wouldn't have been RTS based on the misspelling of Florida.

The flag resembles that of the self-styled Islamic State but replaces the flag’s Arabic with silhouettes of women commonly seen on the mud flaps of trucks, along with the phrase “Get ’Er Done,” as NBC News’ Ben Collins first reported. He and the New York Post cited unnamed senior law enforcement officials as confirming that the image was featured on the device

You're probably right about the bombs not being intended to explode but you don't know dick about explosives. A PVC bomb, made right and stuffed with nails and glass and stuff will tear you to shreds. And of course gunpowder is an explosive, a low explosive when measured in feet-per-second. It's been used to shatter rocks in roadbuilding.

So here's some questions in regard to motivation.

Which party focuses on creating victims?
Who are the recipients (victims) of these devices?
What stories were silenced when this story about the devices broke? Was it the caravans heading to our borders and Democrats are avoiding immigration during this election cycle while several of them have called to abolish ICE and bark for open borders? Do you think these topics were shown in their inner polling was a losing side to be on? Also all the kilos of fentanyl and heroin getting smuggled into this country daily causing a crisis across this country while this president and our first lady have been fighting for combating these addictions? Trump signed major legislation to combat drug use while the first lady has been working with medical centers on babies born addicted to drugs.

I have no idea who this person or group is behind these alleged "bombs" being mailed to high profile Democrats. But it makes no sense it would be someone interested in seeing Republicans being successful this election cycle. But a nutcase like the Bernie supporter who shot up the Republicans on a baseball field....possible.

Reports are coming in they were delivered by hand. At least the one's with the pics without post marks on the envelopes.
Why put 6 stamps and a address with a return address on it then ? Hmmmm....

Pretty sure CNNs was hand delivered. This also means there's video of the perpetrator. Also hearing these were constructed our of PVC, not pipe.

Probably so as to avoid having to go into a post office to apply the postage. Also not every mailed package will necessarily have a postmark.

Yes, they do. Even ABC admits this in this story that the lack of postal marks are being investigated. They're now saying all 10 packages were mailed ( according to a source )
https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnew...rs-la-similar-obama-clinton/story?id=58737042

So what are the odds that the USPS neglected to add postal marks to 10 nearly identical looking packages going to different parts of the US ?

Ditto from one that worked with munitions. These morons act as if PVC shards fired at bomb explosion velocities are not a big deal. And gunpowder is not something to take lightly.

Depends I guess. If they were sorted together on the front end, I'd think all or none would be cancelled/postmarked, or at least it wouldn't strike me as odd if all were treated similarly.

This has struck me as an odd concern all the way around. I can't figure out why it really matters. I'm sure if the FBI and Secret Service thinks they were delivered by courier, they're pursuing that lead with all they got. What's the point of saying they now believe them all mailed? This is Trump's FBI after all, so are they trying to not solve this case or something? I'm missing something somewhere.
