  1. How so? It's plainly obvious that this whole thing was done just to get a ton of media attention. There's now something like a dozen bombs sent out, none of them detonating. Furthermore, the ones sent to CNN were tested, the material within them was proven to be completely harmless. Bomb experts have also commented on the the way the bombs were constructed. They were not meant to explode, they were meant to look bad, that's all.

  2. It took a while to sink in but 10 devices - and none went off? That's because they weren't supposed to go off. All speculation of course but why now? Because of the upcoming mid-terms of course. Whoever's behind it has to be pretty smart to plan and carry out the hoax. Smart enough to know that it could severely damage the Republican image. That's why it can't be a Republican sympathizer. That leaves us with the Democrats and/or their operatives or an angry Democratic sympathizer - or you can go crazy and speculate it's a Russian (not likely). Par for the course, It'll be interesting to see how it unfolds.

  4. A pipe full of explosive without a fuse or detonator is indeed technically a bomb, albeit pretty much useless without any way to detonate it. It would be similar to mailing a deadly biological agent to someone in a vacuum sealed envelope packaged inside a reinforced container. It's becoming pretty apparent that this guy was not trying to kill or hurt anyone, only to affect prevailing political winds, instill fear, and grab headlines. He certainly succeeded.

  5. Before 1967, we used to refer to these folks...Palestinians...as Egyptians and Jordanians...as that's what they are.

  6. To be honest, this is like a low-level civil war now. The Dems and their news outlets are unofficially condoning Antifa violence (or in the case of one Mr Cuomo, officially supporting it), and they're inciting mobs to harass Republicans. They never denounced powder attacks on Trump's family, and they never properly addressed the attacks against Scalise and Rand. Now there's some pushback and they're acting surprised. Both sides need to step up and call off all of this garbage because it has already gone way too far.

  10. Bull, this was ramping up well before Trump. There were even riots from Bernie people, BLM and Antifa groups before Trump.

  11. True, but do you blame Republicans for not trusting Democrats when these are plastered all over the State? I

  12. This could also be about protecting the environment by not releasing tar sands oil into irresponsible markets and mostly conserving it for our own use. That said, Canada is still a real laggard when it comes to running oil refineries without cocking things up as evidenced by a comparison to US oil industry standards and results. Pollution from Canadian refineries an ‘embarrassment’ compared to U.S. This is why I seriously balk at the idea of going nuclear or letting the government licence and regulate any aspect of shipping oil westward. The key issue that needs to be addressed in all this of course is how to get a far better handle on our governance so it doesn't cock so many things up. Without that we'll quite simply and inevitably spiral into oblivion.

  13. This issue is shining a badly needed light on something else that also receives very little criticism, the appallingly shameful and fetid nature of that support - a solid majority of Canadians oppose arms deals with Saudi Arabia.

  14. No. Bush_Cheney is right. No Big Bang Theory. No Elementary. Seriously, the US is a nation of great people. They were the author of the greatest foreign policy effort in the history of the world- the Marshall Plan.
