A few observations from a former bomb disposal officer (i.e. Me):
1. Proper pipe bombs don't have wires connected to both ends. That's dumb.
2. You can find timers / remote control receivers WAY smaller than whatever that white box is. A proper timer would best be stored inside the pipe, making it fully encapsulated. That thing is just silly looking
3. Bottom Line: Whoever made that wanted it to be painfully obvious to anyone and everyone that it's a "bomb."
This is nearly the same as a bundle of road flares wrapped together with an old-timey alarm clock ticking away.
4. "Hoax Devices" are FAR more common than real ones. In which case, we should ask ourselves what the motives of the "bomber" are and "who benefits?"
Go ahead. Think deeply and critically.
Jim Acosta is already applying for his Purple Heart.
Is that a photo of the real item that was sent?
That electronic device looks like one of those cheap, stick-on clocks. If so, and if the person who made it wanted to injure the recipient, what time would he set if for? If that’s a timer, it doesn’t make sense. There’s no way to know exactly when the recipient would take it out of the envelope. Any time afterwards, and bomb technicians would secure it and the recipient’s safety.
Unless the device were built to be ignited when unwrapped, it’s either a fake (possibly a hoax) or an effort to simply harass...or something made by a moron.
It ls clearly a hoax bomb. Not meant to explode. Its just meant to scare.
Precisely!
I’m slightly more open to the possibility that they manipulated some flunky into doing it but even that seems doubtful. I just think this was an unplanned consequence of the lefty base being so whipped up. Some borderline personality out there blew a gasket and decided to “do something”.
The guys on 4chan are having a field day with this.
Showing the stupidity of the bomb maker all had bomb written in sharpie.
I’ve seen bananas with a wristwatch.
Vibrators stuck on a clock.
A cucumber with a wristwatch
A potato clock
And some I can’t even mention
Ha, ha, halarious
It toned down the tone of Trumps stump speech tonight.
It shuts up the Jobs not Mobs line, which was gaining traction and helping us with independent voters and undecideds.
The msm was ready with stories blaming Trump.
Gateway Pundit now has the story.
The poor resistard that did this for the DNC is likely already room temperature.
Theres apparently an ISIS flag on the pipe part.
The misspellings were odd.
Just hope they find the guy and hes not a registered Republican
And the bomb looks like tin-foil wrapped around play-dough and stuffed in a tube with a wire stuck in each end. The other thing that is missing is a battery power supply to fire the detonators assuming that that cheap clock could even be wired to switch power to the supposed detonators.
Oh Lord, my beer just exited my mouth and spewed on my monitor!!
how much attention did the FakeNewsMSM give to any of the following?
8 Oct: IVN.us: A Blue Wave of Violence and Death Threats Against Republicans

The purpose is for the media to be able to scream and shout that the right is far more vio,ent than the left. That the right is the truly evil mob trying to buy you off with jobs. And besides, Donald Trump is the true instigator of all violence,
Vote BLUE for your own safety! Right?
If the FBI or any Law Enforcement bomb squad thought for a moment that those "bombs" were real, wouldn't they have done a controlled detonation of them?
I'm no expert, that's just a guess on my part - perhaps too many cop shows on TV. Who knows. All I know is, something about this whole thing stinks to hell and back. I don't believe those "bombs" were real at all.
Nope.
What do you think her spy ring was looking for?
Some democrat staffer bought a copy of bomb making for dummies.
