Interesting. If you look at the picture of the CNN pipe bomb addressed to John Brennan there's an image of a face on it.

This image appears to be the face I found on google. Brennan himself.

Geez dude. I looked up the story and CNN covered it accurately. They said Abe dumped his box first. You are going to have to work harder. This was such a non-story.

I'm looking for it, CNN had a video out about how Trump's actions can harm the fish, too.

But think about this, why is it even a story? The media is so ready to jump on him and make mountains out of molehills. They quite purposely tried to make him look stupid here when he in fact did absolutely nothing wrong.

You honestly think they aren't obsessed with Trump and trying to and cover him with spin?

This is Trump's goal and Spidey has swallowed the con hook, line, and sinker. Trump's plan is not to make the average person think that he is more trustworthy than the news, I'm sure even he has some vague idea that the entire country knows he's a pathological liar. His goal is to make you throw up your hands in frustration and say you don't know who you can trust.

Bingo...Trump stands for nothing...so he wants his followers to believe in nothing...unless it comes out of his mouth

Trump loves the media more than any single human being alive. I think without TV coverage he would literally wilt and die.

All this bullshit about "fake news" or "spin" is just that a huge fucking narcissist doesn't like unflattering coverage. Since he is crappy at his job and lies like a rug there is consequently a lot of negative coverage.

Lol...Someone in our shop this morning said it was the migrants from Honduras.. Yes! that's what's happening. George Sorros went to Honduras to pay migrants who are crossing Mexico on foot to send a pipe bomb to his house, all in order to stop Trump from making America great again. It's a common tactic, as the geniuses in Fox will surely be able to explain. Everyone knows that Hondurans are actually ISIS terrorists in disguise. Soros is going to throw a big party for them on election night, after they vote to stop Trump from doing all his tremendously wonderful things. And they would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't' been for Rush Limbaugh and his team of meddling Scooby sleuths, who solved this case so quickly.

The package was returned, due to inadequate postage. After a seach, it was located at a processing center.

According to CNN it was delivered by courier?

https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/clintons-obama-suspicious-packages/index.html

John Brennan (sent to CNN offices): The "live explosive device" was delivered by courier to CNN's offices in New York. The NYPD said an envelope containing white powder also was found as part of the device's original packaging.

Amazing how thousands of people can mobilize and move hundreds of miles on foot efficiently with meals and water along the way. Did they send a bomb? Nah, that's not very likely. But I wouldn't be surprised if someone helped pull the strings here.

It was delivered by courier, not USPS.

Then why the stamps? It is a bit weird, like they did not know how the postal service works. Notice the addresses have To: and From: on it. It really feels like something a child would do. I'm pretty sure that whoever did this has a limited mental capability.

That's what I've been getting at. The package almost looks like it was meant to be caught. That or someone very incompetent did this in an honest attempt to harm people.

Ah that makes sense.
Please don't take my question as me thinking this is some false flag bullshit. I was just genuinely curious as to why there were no post marks. I will leave the tin foil shit up to our resident idiot.

Trump hardly needs false flags to make himself look bad. He's been doing a fine job at it for decades now.

That's neither here nor there. The point is it has happened in the recent past, it isn't an impossibility by any stretch here.

Then why put stamps on it?
This is the work of an incredibly inept person (thank God), or the devices were never intended to work. My hunch is the latter.
Well. See the confusion the question has brought up just here? Yeah that's why they did it.

According to the NYPD and the FBI the devices were crappily made but functional. Unless their opinion changes that seems to rule out your hunch. If your goal is to send a scary message but not hurt them it seems like sending them a working bomb is a really bad idea. Why not just use the go-to white powder?

I am leaning more towards this person is young and inept.

Hmmm...are you sure it wasn't Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, in a deeply laid false flag operation which she intended as a distraction from a love triangle between her, Bernie Sanders, and Bret Kavanaugh, with assistance from ISIS, the Honduran caravan, and Robert Mueller, and a director's credit for Putin and guest starring the Illuminati?

Why was Obama's flag pin and tan suit a story? Don't pretend non-stories like this are unique to Trump.

Now if you want to discuss a mainstream media lie about Trump I'm all ears.

My favorite example is Trump feeding the gold fish in Japan. If you don't think that the leftist media didn't go out of their way to try and make him look bad over nothing, then you're not living in reality.

Did the press mention that trump said the fish were the enemy of the people?
