What were his intentions?
Not a single one of the bombs went off.
Some are now saying that perhaps not all of them - perhaps not any of them? - even could actually have exploded, though they all contained the right ingredients.
And what if that was intentional?
What if he intended neither to kill nor even to harm, nor to actually frighten anyone at all, but only to register an unmistakable protest?
Whether this was terrorism depends on his intentions.
And if he did not intend death or even harm to anyone, and did not intend to frighten anyone, but only intended a very high profile gesture of protest, that is not terrorism.
He needs a really good lawyer.
Next point:
It is a smear to impute the qualities or beliefs of voters or politically active folks to the politicians or parties they vote for or support, whatever the voters or politically active folks may themselves believe.
And that sort of smear makes up a very high percentage of the propaganda of both sides, directed against their opponents.
Democrats are smeared with anarchists and antifa thugs while Republicans are smeared with Klansmen, neo-Nazis, and gang-rapists.
And now the Duce is getting smeared with this guy.

Suspect arrested for the mailing of bombs
Florida man to be charged over mail bombs; Booker, Clapper latest to be sent packages
A Trumpist crackpot, exactly as expected.
But the lunatic right that Trump has far too effectively mainstreamed into dominance of the Republican Party is certain it's a deep state frameup arranged by Democrats.
And it's not just the nuts who write comments on blogs.
High profile conservatives claim its a Democratic hoax.
Not a word from the Duce telling his folks to chill or expressing regret for his habitual incendiary, lunatic rhetoric.

GOP sees new bomb scare victim: Trump
Many Trump allies say a terroristic attack on Democratic leaders has become a media conspiracy to undermine the president ahead of the November midterms.
A day after several leading Democrats were found to have been targeted by package bombs, Republicans have identified one of their own as a victim: President Donald Trump.
As of Thursday afternoon, less than 36 hours after the first packages were discovered, White House officials and outside advisers bitterly protested the notion that Trump’s vitriolic rhetoric might have inspired whoever sent the packages.
. . . .
“Look, it’s the media’s doing what the media does, which is any narrative that they can twist against Trump, they will do so,” Sen Ted Cruz (R-Texas) told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.
In an interview with POLITICO, former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who traveled Wednesday with Vice President Mike Pence on Air Force Two, said past incidents in which Republican politicians were threatened drew far less coverage than this week’s attempted bombings, which have dominated news coverage for two days running.
“I don’t think the same level of media scrutiny was received as we are seeing today,” Lewandowski said, citing incidents in which letters with white powder (later found to be harmless) were sent to the president’s sons, as well as threats against Sen. Susan Collins’ (R-Maine) during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation fight.
"I think it is absolutely disgraceful that one of the first public statements we heard from CNN yesterday was to put the blame and responsibility of this despicable act on the president and on me personally,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Fox News on Thursday.

It won't last
Leading Republicans, including Trump, are playing the responsible leaders, unequivocally and firmly condemning the bomb attacks today on the Clintons and Obamas, the CNN office in NYC and Debbie Wasserman Schultz's office in Florida, and the Soros residence yesterday.
Tomorrow or the day after, Bozo and others will be suggesting the devices were sent by Democrats to put an end to talk of the Dems as violent mobs in right wing discourse and media.
Particularly since Dems and Dem media are not being shy about blaming the Republicans and the Duce, in particular, for his demonization of Dem media, Democrats, and these specific individuals, as well as his encouragement of political thuggery.
Suspicious packages
Update: a similar package sent to Eric Holder, Obama's AG, has been intercepted.
The authorities say all the packages are of the same design, likely from the same source, and none has actually exploded.
It is not yet certain they are genuinely dangerous and not faux bombs.
Update 10252018, 1213 hrs EDT.
Joe Biden and Robert De Niro have got packages, along with Maxine Waters.
Yes, it's Trumps enemies list.
Police now say the bombs are rudimentary but quite real and functional.
Various right wing blowhards are peddling the conspiracy theory about all the bombs that they were already peddling when the only bomb known was the one sent to Soros.
It's a Democrat plot.
