1. The bombs are being manufactured and distributed by an ORGANIZATION. It can no longer be considered to be the work of a lone terrorist. The logistics aren't conducive to that kind of thinking.
2. Assuming that they deserve their reputation, the FBI/DHS/NSA already KNOW who's making, distributing, and planting the bombs.
3. That arrests haven't already been made suggests that a delay in doing so is deliberate.
4. The delay in "cracking the case" is because of the "sensitive" nature of the discoveries.
5. The reason that there's "sensitivity" is because law enforcement found that the evidence leads to one of the Trumpy organizations or an associate of Trumpy or a Trumpy family member.
6. The reason that Trumpy isn't making a major national speech decrying the terrorist attacks is because he's supporting the attacks and the attackers.
7. By telling the media to change their ways "Fast", Trumpy is threatening the political opposition with further threats and actual violence. Trumpy is the shadow commander of the domestic terror organization.
8. As if this post isn't filled with enough "wild speculation", here's another: Trumpy Jr. is directly involved. So is Eric Prince. Both are providing (at a minimum) technical assistance to the organization that's terrorizing the political opposition. The organization is at least loosely affiliated with the Proud Boys.
Based upon what we currently KNOW, and what the information stream suggests, I'm estimating that these speculations are about 70% accurate. But the general drift of the data is clearly pointing toward Trumpy's support of these domestic terrorism events, and, logically, his tacit approval-- at a minimum.
Let's remember that Trumpy practices evil. There are no redeeming qualities. He has no intention of doing anything that's helpful to 99% of the population. He never did. He's bent on destroying the lives of his opposition, the same kind of driving force that he's shown for decades. Every target of the bombs is also his rhetorical target. Every one. And he's not relentlessly condemning the terrorism, which is what he MUST do to convey an appropriate message. If he's not totally committed to stopping the terrorism, he's giving it all a wink and a nod in the same way that he acknowledges white supremacists, neo-Nazis, the KKK, and Russian interference in the elections. It's a logical part of his plan to consolidate his power.

(16,646 posts)I keep seeing this statement but I don't understand the basis of this conclusion. A dozen bombs or so, not even good ones by most accounts, can be created by a single individual. Mailing/shipping/delivering them within a 2 or 3 day period isn't exactly rocket science. They've already shown poor knowledge in general of addresses, spelling, etc.
I really don't understand this assertion that it must be an organized effort. Individual idiots have done things like this in the past. At best may 2 or three people are all that would really be expected. The larger the group, the more likely it gets detected ahead of time. 9/11 happened with 19 people, most of whom it is suspected didn't really know what they were signed up for. And they almost got caught.

(67,084 posts)Given the regime in place, all sorts of shit could be going on. Trump's remarks/tweets are truly astounding. To me, he seems to support what is going on.

(1,990 posts)Some of your points assume that law enforcement already knows who is responsible. I'm sure they can eventually find out, but these things take time. I don't see any evidence here.
We don't need baseless speculation and unsupported charges.

(12,051 posts)that have appeared so far. There are more interesting aspects to ponder, IMO.
1. If the bombs have been made and sent by an inept/mentally damaged individual, was he also so inept that he left DNA and fingerprints on the bombs? If the bombs are so fakey as to be hilarious BUT the bomber was exceptionally good at not leaving any evidence, then we can wonder exactly what sort of effect the bomber really wanted. There are a few directions that this idea could lead you to.
2. If an inept bomber left evidence on the bombs, the cops probably DO know who it is, or are verrrry close to knowing. The idea that "once the cops know, they pounce" is only on TV and the movies, so your idea that the cops aren't acting because the bomber is a 'sensitive' person is hogwash. If they know who it is, his neighborhood is clogged with FBI agents until the boss gets enough evidence to make a good case. That can take days or weeks. Or years, as in the case of the Unabomber. THIS IS NOT TV.
