How convenient.

Well, this is just stupid. Do they think someone is going to ingest some unknown powder contained in an envelope? I guess they are trying to send a message but it isn’t clear to me what whoever did this is trying to accomplish, except to get a long jail term. Ricin is very nasty stuff and it is probably dangerous to inhale even a small amount of it but it would never get out of the mailroom except in an investigator’s sealed sample bag.

Time for the pearl clutching. Really a shame they intercepted it.

Probably a false flag operation. But even so, clearly we must delay the election until Antifa terrorism is stamped out once and for all.

C’mon now! He’s not that stupid. The return said “RBG” in Sharpie. But he misspelled it.

Every aspect of human behavior is going to be used by the thing squatting in the Oval Office.

Our own White House…which, until 1/20/17, belonged to all of us. That’s the most tragic thing of all.

We must not fall for the tricks…they’ll come from all angles.
