I don't understand why that is news. Neither of them are (Supposed to be) active political figures. Presidents have always been under threat just by virtue of their station. That this threat briefly intensified is not news. All it does is spook/distract Dems and give hard R republicans a good laugh.
Lol k. 10+ pipe bombs (and counting) sent to Democratic leaders is fucking news. This isn't a distraction; these are poorly executed assassination attempts at the "meddlesome priest" behest of our current president. Go soak your fat head, this is news. edit: ya this is fucking news...smdh
Yeah, the fringes seem to be running with "none exploded, so this isn't news. Maybe incompetent, probably intentionally non-functional, either way definitely not news." But that's BS. If the packages had nooses they would pose no personal danger, but that is obiously a threatening message. And if it happens to a dozen prominent members of one party, it's obviously news.
They arrested a dude who drives the right wing propaganda ice cream truck so they've moved on to "lone nut who wasn't inspired to action by certain rhetoric." There's going to be a presser in an hour and a half. (I have very little to do and a Twitter addiction so I end up following this sort of stuff through slim to no effort.)
