President Trump, speaking at an opioids event at the White House, first addressed the series of suspicious packages that have been discovered today.
He called for unity as officials investigate the possible explosive devices.
"I just want to tell you that in these times we have to unify, we have to come together and send one very clear, strong, unmistakable message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the United States of America," he said.
Trump said "the full weight of our government" is investigating the packages and will "bring those responsible for these despicable acts to justice."
He added: "The safety of the American people is my highest and absolute priority," he said.
"Nicely said"
haha.......yeah that scripted 45 seconds worth of remarks lasted.....about 45 seconds. He acted presidential for under a minute! Congratulations! And then he went to a rally and then he started tweeting again.
Donald Trump is a 6 year old.

WASHINGTON—Following reports that incendiary devices had been sent to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and George Soros, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer expressed relief Wednesday that he has never taken a stance meaningful enough to inspire someone to mail him an explosive. “Phew, this is where constantly equivocating and avoiding any issue that’s even remotely controversial really pays off,” said Schumer (D-NY), adding that he was thankful his persistent lack of political courage had all but guaranteed no one would ever be angry enough with him to “do something crazy or violent.” “I really dodged a bullet there! Hopefully if I just keep my head down and stay focused on tacitly supporting the status quo, I’ll keep out of the line of fire.” At press time, Schumer had issued a tepid statement urging Americans to consider all sides in the matter.

I never ever heard about it. I don't recall anyone even mentioning it. That's not a MEH or a lack of outrage. That's just people not being aware of something. I doubt anyone here feels it's not a big deal for the POTUS's daughter (the only Trump kid over the age of 13 who any of us can stand, too) to be sent a white powder. I've never seen anyone have such a reaction to potential terrorism against someone ... except you.

Perhaps we should wait until the FBI finds out? I mean, this is the most likely situation, but part of the reason we are in the shape we are is jumping to conclusions based on what we want to be true to be true....isn't it? This tweet will likely look correct when all is said and done, but there is still a small, small chance that it won't.

It's pretty apparent. DeNiro even got tabbed because he has been so critical of tRump.

I am actually starting to think this could be a lefty doing this...the bombs seemed designed to fail. The misspelled names seem a bit over-the-top. I've made it a point not to go too hard at "them" yet. There's something "off" about this.
It could also be a righty that doesn't want to kill anyone but to just send a message.
Who knows...the whole thing is strange and depressing.

What's the alternative?? I take it you mean "they" is supposed to mean some crazed Trump supporter. I didn't take it that way. I took "they" to mean whoever it was who sent the bombs. And whether it's some crazy fucking rightist or some crazy fucking leftist is completely irrelevant IMO. Either way, Trump has indeed created the circumstances that lead to this terrorist attack. It WAS definitely Trump's influence and disgusting behaviour and propaganda and constant lies and rhetoric that caused this, no matter what nut job did it.
And FTR, the Trump supporters who are actually suggesting that this is some kind of Democratic conspiracy are SICK motherfuckers. And man, am I ever getting sick of people attacking those who are rabidly against Trump and won't stop pointing out EVERY single one of his horrible actions and flaws. I think anyone who is fully aware of everything he's doing, on every level, and is criticizing the critics instead of Trump needs to give their head a shake. They really lost the plot.

I don't consider deranged people with a tendency toward terrorism (as opposed to sabotage) to be either left our right. Just out of touch, off the wall, and highly disturbed.

Yeah, as I said, the most likely answer is usually the correct one. I juts kinda wish we could use this time to denounce the act and come together and wait for the FBI to tell us motive once they discover it. Just my opinion - I think anyone that says they know who/why right now and is unwilling to consider an alternative is kinda jumping to conclusions. Perhaps I'm gun shy in this environment.

I think that's exactly what people would be doing if only the right hadn't started suggesting it was a Democratic conspiracy.

Derangement, in and of itself, is not political. But if someone's trying kill (or even threaten) all of these people because they're "evil libs" (or if someone is trying to "frame" the right), then their motivations for this particular manifestation of their derangement is political.

Yes, technically I suppose this is true. I guess it's just that I don't consider people on the extremes as being left or right. Just extreme and that, to me, is all the same bullshit. (But I am OK with extreme when it comes to the arts.)

I would say it's blatantly true, not technically. There is also the possibility that the person isn't deranged at all. Non-deranged people do evil things too.

I know, right? This happened 8 months ago and you’re only brining it up now. Where the hell were you in February?
Lol, exactly. Apparently unsung wants outrage from us about thing he felt no outrage over himself.
He just found out about that incident today because far right sites like Breitbart and Gateway Pundit etc, where he gets his news, are playing the whataboutism game.
