I’d call it Treason. Think of innocent WH workers, postal employees, security people who could have been killed. I pray for the safety of all and hope they catch the one(s) responsible.
The guy that sent 16 pipe bombs through the mail to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris along with others, only got a maximum of 20 years.

I’m just so sick and tired of the violence. I don’t care what your politics or ideology, it must stop.

I believe that this kind of thing happens all the time, but we don't hear about it... unless #1 wants us to.

Let's start with allowing over 200,000 people to die with no end in site.

Donald Trump at his rallies this week has been saying he thought it was a "beautiful thing" when MSNBC reporter Ali Velshi was hit by a rubber bullet while covering the protests that followed the murder of George Floyd, at the hands of police. And his cult members cheered!
This is just the latest example of the president celebrating and inciting violence against people he considers political enemies. You don't have to wait many days for a new one.

I'm so cynical at this point that I think this story is malarkey. Some GOP operative mailed an envelope of baby powder and a couple of Barr's goons confirmed it as ricin. Fake news.
