So, say they catch the MAGAbomber.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

And say he is--as we suspect--a 100% bonafide, tried and true redhatted MAGA.

Which of the following responses from the Trump loving crowd can we most expect:

1. The perp is being framed;

2. Joe Bob Billy Maga is actually a secret George Soros plant who did what he did to make Trump supporters look bad;

3. No True Scotsman--being MAGA means you never get caught!; or

4. They take a long, hard, sober look at the type of rhetoric being pushed by Trump at his rallies and over social media and question whether it is time to consider the consequences of their actions and whether they should continue to support an individual who drives people to commit such violence.

1. Or 5. He's mentally ill.

[muntrv]

2. 1 and 2.

[flibbitygiblets]

3. What if it's the Russians? and not a billhilly MAGAt?

Seems it would take a lot of $ and intelligence to pull this off, which does NOT sound like your typical MAGAt.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

8. I don't know.

As I said, someone who thinks he is smart, goes onto the dark web and finds whatever plans he thinks can build a bomb, builds a bomb that doesn't go off, and can't spell worth shit--that sounds very plausible like an overly eager MAGA type.

[Flaleftist]

15. I don't think these types of bombs are that complicated or expensive to make.

He's probably not a Harvard grad like Ted Kaczynski. Designs are on the Internet and the parts can be bought at hardware and electronics stores. Even the gunpowder is available to consumers. There are people who make their own ammunition. The bomber could have even cut it out of shotgun shells from Walmart. From what I have read so far, it seems he either screwed up with the detonation device or intentionally left it not functional to send a message that he could have done it. This could have easily been done inexpensively by a lone nut job Trumper.

4. LOL #4.... not possible. -n/t

[Garrett78]

9. Yeah, Tommy should be writing for some late night comedian.

[Oneironaut]

5. The latest talking points are that it was a Liberal trying to make Trump look bad.

That was the uniform opinion of radio callers today on right wing radio.

[MineralMan]

6. They'll call him/her a "lone wolf"

who is mentally ill. Guaranteed.

[Wintryjade]

7. 5. Free speech, not capable of killing, sending a message to bad liberals. No big deal.

[ffr]

10. Aren't MAGAs all by definition? So, 1 - 3. Mentally ill MAGA.

And the result will be a heavy price paid by some innocents, like...

Oh look, it's Chuck Todd normalizing the rhetoric. And Sarah Palin went on her merry way without so much as a sorry.

Gabrielle Giffords clings to life with the support of her husband and loved ones.

[Liberal In Texas]

11. There'll be all kinds of conspiracy theories.

And I hope they get him around Nov. 1 to say 4 so the MAGA Bomber perp walk memory doesn't fade too much before the elections

[mitch96]

16. Ahh yes, the Redhatted MAGA

Only comes to roost when the orange shitstain is around...

[leftynyc]

12. 5. Mentally ill (n/t)

[Cosmocat]

13. They are going to make it about democrats

the lunatic who flew his plane into the IRS Building in the 2000s, they, and the "liberal" media obidiently parroted, that it was the democrats fault for pushing the country too far ...

45s tweet today was along those lines.

[dameatball]

14. You could have skipped writing #4 and gone and had a V-8.

[sinkingfeeling]

17. #2

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. Bumping this for today.

We'll see how it plays out.

So no one is thinking the response will be Number 4, right?

[spanone]

19. they are towing away the suspects van....covered (windows/bumpers) with trump shit

This may not be the bomber, but this truck belongs to a trump nut
