This whole pipe bomb thing is so weird. So ineffective. So poorly planned. How is this so poorly planned yet no one arrested yet? I feel like there should be some huge manhunt right now and it's like nothing happened. Why do you think there isn't a huge hunt for those responsible? I suppose I am more so comparing this to, say, the Boston bombers. I don't doubt there is a big effort to find the guy. It's just that I am not seeing nearly the obsession I expected.
Except half the Boston Marathon bombing obsession was the internet fingering completely innocent targets based on pictures of people with bags hanging around a marathon.
Hard for a real investigation to match the furor of crowd-sourced amateur hour.

the boston manhunt will one day be looked on as a horrible presage of a coming surveillance neototalitarianism that makes the stasi look like amateurs

Only by uninformed potatoes who believe the government forced everyone to stay home. It was the use of hand grenadines that really put a hold on my morning commute.

The Clintons have been demonised in Republican media forever. You'd think they were in the Senate with how often they're brought up and blamed for stuff happening. If an uninformed individual was going after a Democrat, the Clintons and Obama seem like the most obvious targets.

That story will never reach Trumps base. They will likely never hear about it.

Maybe he is using his own phone to stop the deep state from spying on him. have you thought of that!
Something like that probably.

This is more likely to go the way of that Dallas/Austin bomber than Boston, especially since no one has died. Silent investigation -> really stupid mistake if he hasn't already made one -> captured and thrown away, all with very little media furor behind a few places trying to spin it in their own ways.

Your story is soooo wrong I do not have time to correct it. A very big part of Anger in society is caused by Mainstream Media Fake News and they need to clean up their act fast. Despite the constant negative press covfefe, there was never collusion with Russia, except by the Clinton campaign. Highly conflicted Bob Mueller, who worked for Obama, hired 17 ANGRY DEMOCRATS that are doing his dirty work and are a disgrace to the USA. Thousands of Crooked Hillary emails, many of which are REALLY BAD. The DOJ, FBI and Obama Gang need to be held to account. Misled the Court to provide a pretext to SPY on the Trump Team. Every time you see a Caravan, or people illegally coming, or attempting to come, into our Country illegally, think of and blame the Democrats. Democrat-inspired-laws are making it hard to stop people at the border, they MUST BE CHANDED.

I assume you are joking, but the thing is that i can definitively see this post as something someone legitimately writes. Poe's law and stuff.

Yeah I'm gonna agree with you, in that I could totally see many conservatives believing and saying the things that Fueled wrote. Sadly. And whenever Republicans/ Trump are guilty of doing something bad or hypocritical, it's all a huge conspiracy from Democrats.

Trump tweeted this morning that the reason there is so much Anger in the country is because of the Main Stream Media being false and hateful. And that they need to clean up their act.
We don’t know who sent the bombs, but the president has made it clear how he thinks folks can avoid receiving future bombs.

I'll be honest, I was only sure it wasn't serious because of the post count and the unlikely hood that someone could seriously post like that for that many posts and survive TL moderation.

A good attempt at a Trump speech but you referred to the refugees as people, that’s where it got unrealistic.

Frankly what Trump is saying is worse. His opinion seems to be that if only people weren't so critical of him, they wouldn't be getting bombs sent to them, so its their own fault.

To be fair, it is in Fox News. Their actual news reporting is pretty fair. A little bit partisan, for example here they just mention he has been listened to, but not that he refused to use only the secure phones. But let's say it's "acceptable". The news exited the front page in around 3hours.

The opinion section though...
About Trump's base in all its trolling glory, a quick look at reddit's The Donald says they believe the bombs are fake bombs sent by the left to move their base...
On another note, Trump had the balls to tweet that CNN and "fake news" were the main culprits for the violence climate recently due to the negativity of his coverage. Man must not look himself in the mirror too often (although one would think he does that all day long...).

It's a compilation of pieces of Trumps tweets.

Nonsense. Since Republicans are sincerely concerned about the use of personal communications devices that jeopardize security and are not what government leaders are supposed to use, the outrage will commence any minute now.

Trump's base will just assume Trump uses it to confuse Russia and China so that they never know what is real and what isn't. They see the idea of an unsecured device as proof he's playing 4d chess.
Edit, on a somewhat separate topic:
I don't think the civil war actually ever ended. All of the underlying issues causing the civil war were never dealt with. I would argue allowing for 2 completely distinct cultures to exist within the same country was a mistake that was going to boil over eventually. Trump's presidency has accelerated the boiling, but the culture war has been going this entire time.
