October Surprise

[Lookin4_67GalaxieConv]

I think the October surprise this year is this phony bomb scare.  I'm not buying it one bit, I think it's as valid as the Kavanaugh sexual assault allegations.

I wonder if anyone believes they were real?

[bonneyman]

They wouldn't have let journalists take close up pictures of the things if they'd been real. So they knew almost immediately that they were fake.

I sure hope they can prove the bombs are fake and more importantly that the libs are behind it.  Would really hurt their credibility with middle of the road folks

The October Surprise might just backfire on the Dems and they'll be the one's shocked.

I don't agree at all about sending bombs real or fake. It be interesting to see how this plays out.

My bet is that it turns out to be a "mom's basement" snowflake type that wanted to make political points for the Democrats as we move into the mid-term elections. Dirty tricks, lies, and fraud are what the "new" socialist Democrat party operatives excel at. 

NOTE: Just heard on the news that they arrested a guy in Florida for making/sending the bombs. No info on the name, motive, or political affiliation of the alleged suspect. This is going to get interesting!!

This is almost certainly a false flag event(s). Who makes bombs that "look" like real bombs but are fake? IED's in Iraq are ALWAYS hidden or camo'd. With all the surveillance and cameras and license plate readers, sending something awkward-looking through the mail is gonna get you nailed. It's almost like the perpetrator(s) wanted authorities to find them. And then NONE of them went off? OK maybe one or two could've been duds, but all of them? No, this was intended for show, talking points, rallying the libs.

I saw on the news where the FBI covered the suspects van that has stickers on all the windows. I guess they tarped it so nobody would see the Bernie stickers as they towed it away.

This thing is as fake as the day is long.

[bonneyman]

Bombing some idiot politician is so lame, anyway. Too much of a chance taking out innocent civilians.

I would prefer the personal method where they become intimately acquainted with a Kentucky Slugger baseball bat!

The guy is a nutjob. His Van tells you all you need to know about him.  Did he think Trump would care about him if his attempts at terrorism worked?

[goodfellow]

Well, he's not a Dem notjob, but a notjob nonetheless. The guy was a "bodybuilder" and all those steroids probably fried his brain.
