Everything that is being projected about the man is loser, as he claims to be all that. Grammar/spelling bad. Bombs failures. I would like to know what that is about spending all that time making and packaging the bombs and none of them actually seem threatening in going off. His boasting about education and school seems to be a bust. Beating up grandma and criminal record.

All around loser.

I haven't read much of anything with functionality. But one of the things we will have to wait for. To put together, package and send so many is a lot of effort. It does not make sense he would go to all that effort creating a fake device. Too much work, I would think.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45996655

CNN quotes investigators as saying they were functional but unstable, meaning they could be set off merely by handling. They have timers easily bought at retail outlets.
But experts speaking to several US media outlets have cast doubt on their effectiveness after seeing X-ray images.
New York Police Commissioner James O'Neill could not confirm whether all the devices were intended to explode, but he said officials "are treating them as suspected explosive devices".

Interesting. I had read regardless of ability to go off, had shrapnel so gonna be treated as a deadly weapon. I guess that matters. Appreciate the info. It just does not make sense to me putting the time and work into a nothing, but then, Trump voters do not make sense to me, period. I do not get them as it is.

Think about the many threats made against Blasey Ford when she spoke up against Kavanaugh’s nomination and, well, too many recently to recount easily.

Trump feeds the hate, then this is the festering output from that.

True that. It is certainly what the last two years has done to our nation. They elected a man that body slammed a journalist. Way over the line. Shit, a President advocating sexual assault. As I said, lots of wows.

Of the George Zimmerman - Florida Stand Your Ground fame. Ce pt this one has a bomb fetish.

Same Extremist Right Wing zealot thing going on. A strong component of Toxic Masculinity going on - who is a loser - out to prove his tough guy alpha male bona fides to the world - so he can gloat and bask in the spotlight of his heroism - but is dumb as a clay brick that has not yet been fully baked and still has a soft mushy center.

This is the social media & online hate that made every online search keep Trump's name at the top.

FB Twitter Google did nothing tho the extreme vile hate propaganda was everywhere on all their forums from day 1.

It took this much attention to finally suspend it.
