Two additional pipe bombs, one addressed to former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and the other to actor Robert De Niro were found in Delaware and New York City, law enforcement officials said on Thursday, the latest in a wave of similar devices sent to several prominent Democrats who have been the rhetorical targets of President Trump and other right-wing figures.

A law enforcement official said the envelope and printed address labels on the package sent to Mr. De Niro were similar to those on explosives sent to former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others, and an X-ray showed it contained a similar device resembling a pipe bomb. “This appears to be from the same sender,” the official said.

None of the devices have harmed anyone so far, and it was not immediately clear whether they could have actually exploded. It was also uncertain whether they were the work of one person or multiple people.

The United States Postal Service records images of mail that comes into its system. Officials searched those images overnight and found several other suspicious packages, a law enforcement official said. It was not immediately clear how many they discovered. - More...

Oct. 25, New York. Helicopter footage shows a bomb disposal van leaving the Tribeca neighborhood in NYC. Police are investigating a suspicious package addressed to Robert De Niro following a wave of pipe bomb discoveries this week. CNN and NBC’s New York affiliate reported that the package was similar to ones sent to prominent Democrats and was sent to an address in lower Manhattan that houses a restaurant and offices owned by the actor.

1. Scary times n/t

2. Good. They searched and found trails of other bombs being put into the US Postal system...

Now all they have to do is backtrack and ID those responsible. Which I'm sure that they are doing at this very second. Trying to intimidate us and those who have spoken out against the rump administration and its idiotic policies of bigotry, hate and so forth. Cowards. I'd also would go back to the Charlottesville riot/mess and I'll bet you'll have pics of those responsible too, already captured on camera. This scumbags can't resist a photo opportunity since they're so desperate for attention.

3. I hope Alec Baldwin is very careful.

If DeNiro got one then I wouldn't be surprised if Alec isn't a target.

4. "The United States Postal Service records images of mail that comes into its system."

Yup and you, the consumer, can even get copies of those images of your mail via email each day to see what is headed your way. My Post Office doesn't do or at least doesn't send images of the magazines or large brochures but all the smaller pieces (including junk mail) gets imaged.

5. He Did It Again...

Right wing howlers and whiners like Loopy Lou Dobbs have another big problem, and not surprisingly, their own Dear Leader is the cause. It no longer matters who sent the bombs, what the perpetrator's motives were, or whether the bombs were 'real" or fakes. (There are federal penalties for sending fake bombs in the mail too). It was still a brazen terror attack on two former presidents and a number of other high profile targets.

What matters is that with less than two weeks before the elections the POTUS completely pissed all over his latest opportunity to bring the country together in a moment of crisis and instead doubled down on all of the foul lies and shameless incitements that he has been spewing non stop for the last three years, thereby proving yet again that he's not fit to hold the office he neither respects nor understands.

Trump has been a slow rolling national catastrophe since Jan. 20, 2017, a day that will live in infamy.

6. Not sure it's a 'latest wave', probably all were sent at the same time ...

But they're arriving on different days, as one would expect.

Backtracking how long the packages took to get to Soros, then to everyone yesterday, then to the two targets today ... is probably going to make it REAL easy to tell from where the packages were sent.
