Unbefuckinglievable.

Trump's America and everyone who voted for this monstrosity is responsible.

Can't wait for Maggie Haberman to explain that demanding people not murder Democratic politicians will only make Trump stronger with his base.

Seriously, where is the off switch on that woman's Twitter account?

The sad truth is I think that a lot of people just never will care when this happens to Democrats - I think many on the left see it as part of the process and many others aren't ginned up to care because the press doesn't make them, as the press hates Democrats and liberals anyway (unless they are "good" Democrats who agree with Republicans). 

 

There will be more upset over Mitch McConnell being heckled in a restaurant. 

 

I have a feeling Republicans are already out there saying that Democrats are doing this to themselves for sympathy.

There will be a rush to pin these mailbombs on extremist talking points from fringe websites like 4chan and Qanon-adjacent communities on Reddit and Facebook, but Soros, Obama and the Clintons have been viewed as the root of all evil on talk radio and Fox News for over a decade.

I really hope they catch this lunatic before he kills someone.

Are we talking about the mail bomber, or the president?

 

Never mind, it's true for either guy.

Trump has created this environment. That isn't to say that this people didn't exist before it's just that they have become more emboldened now.

Sorry but I'm just going to say it. There's a whole lot of chickens coming home to roost today. The NY Times and CNN worked overtime to put Trump in office. They didn't see him as a threat to themselves and they didn't give a [!@#$%^&*] about the rest of us. Even now they are doing everything they can to hand the midterms to the Republicans. I don't want to see bloodshed because we've already had too much but I refuse to take to the barricades for these people just because their years of malpractice have caught up to them because tomorrow they'll be right back to rehashing Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky and chasing after Nazis in diners.

. @ShimonPro reporting now his law enforcement sources telling him a suspicious package was indeed found in the mail room of 10 Columbus Circle, the hub of @CNN in NYC.

CNN has had to move its broadcast to DC because its Time Warner building in NYC has been evacuated

.@evanperez reports: Another suspicious package with a device addressed to the White House was intercepted at Joint Base Bolling in Washington, DC. According to a law enforcement official, the device was similar to ones sent to homes of Soros, Clintons and Obamas.

I don't intend to defend them, but I do hope this gives some of them a little insight into where the Beltway game ends. McConnell's fuckîng dinner being interrupted is really not the same thing.

WATCH: CNN had to abruptly stop broadcasting from its studio in NYC while covering a story about bombs being sent to the Clintons and Obamas because an alarm suddenly went off about a "suspicious device" in the building.

As with anything on television, ratings is a motivation. Trump was good for ratings during the campaign and got more viewers to turn into newscasts that are normally not watched.

Thing is...it's not just Democrats that this is happening to.
