It was probably DNC operatives destroying Trump ballets before the recount.

Looks to me like you could kick it apart from the inside. Are they sure it was an explosive device?

Amazing. They have time for exploding toilets but no time for massive voter fraud.

The port-o-lets and many public events are subject to abuse. Perhaps no worse than at the Indy500. They get toppled, relocated, blown-up and burned.

Police say they have a suspect. They have traced it back to a recent incident at a Home Depot where police were called after an individual in the restroom reportedly warned “I’m going to blow this place up”. At the time, it was dismissed as a misunderstanding. But some clever investigators have discovered a connection. We’ll see where it goes.

I knew a guy who did this - he was 12 years old and made TNT in his basement.

He later became a police officer, served for 20 years.
