People were tired of “politics as usual.”

How is this tasting?

He*s going to skip the speech because his White Supremacists told him they were going to give him a fake bomb .

I have a feeling the Obamas and Clintons are quite happy to not have to take a call and listen to him pretend that he gives an actual f**k about them being targeted.

Trump on Thursday had yet to call Obama or Clinton about the packages sent their way, but he had spoken to Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York, the state where many of the packages were delivered.
and we suspect the reaction will be somewhat different when the first one turns up at Mar-A Lago or Trump Tower

In a civilized place (Northern Ireland comes to mind) Trump and his minions would be prosecuted under the Incitement to Hatred Act. AND the Prevention of Terrorism Act. A twofer.

What could he possibly say?

Hi Hillary. I specifically said “lock her up”, not “blow her up”, so you can’t blame me. Bye. Hate to be you.

Reading comments on Huffpost one had a good thought. Think about what a big deal was made of Kathy Griffin holding that fake severed head, and how little or deflection of blame is made of probably real pipe bombs.

Yeah and only beating folks not necessarily killing, well except that line about shooting someone.

This tawdry excuse for a man cannot afford to appear concerned about the former presidents and officials who received the pipe bombs. It would annoy his base and remove the spot light from himself. god forbid they seem at all sympathetic through this ordeal.

Yes, wife read me that story late last night. It’s been talked about before - Mueller Team following Russian money. Also heard Sen McConnell on distribution receiving end (please God, I’ll be good). More to come. Nice get.

ETA: should be read by all - if you want your spirits lifted.

Just curious, have either of the former Presidents Bush reached out?

Besides, he’s busy “(laying) out the case in the differences between Democrats and Republicans.” For example, taking rsponsibility for one’s actions, or making calls to people who have been targeted by terrorists.

In other words, continues his unabated streak of massive assholism demonstrating zero leadership skills.
