FFS, read the second sentence.

Edit to add the actual language of the quote:


"The packages were immediately identified during routine mail screening procedures as potential explosive devices and were appropriately handled as such."

News reports are say DWS office was shut done because a package , which was sent to Eric holder but to a wrong address, was returned to her office. And that all the packages found so far have the same return address.

I will bet my last dollar on it. I'm surprised the packages didn't have "Acme bomb factory" printed on the outside. It is nothing but a distraction, and I hope the dems responsible will pay the price. But, money says no one will be caught. Hmmmm..how convenient.

welp... that didn't take long:

The Time Warner Center – CNN’s New York City bureau – has been evacuated. CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker sent the following notes to staff.

Statement from CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker:

“There is a total and complete lack of understanding at the White House about the seriousness of their continued attacks on the media. The President, and especially the White House Press Secretary, should understand their words matter. Thus far, they have shown no comprehension of that.” Jeff Zucker, President CNN Worldwide.

I guess they forgot these gems

Reads like they already know who sent them:
NY Times

Quote:
Pipe bombs were sent to a number of prominent Democrats, including former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, sparking an intense investigation on Wednesday into whether a bomber is going after people who have often been the subject of right-wing ire.
A law enforcement official said the devices were similar to one found Monday at the home of George Soros, the billionaire philanthropist and liberal donor.

Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Obama, Mr. Soros and CNN have all figured prominently in conservative political attacks — many of which have been led by President Trump.


Opinion article; not news.

The CNN photo of the bomb shows that it had six stamps but they hadn't been cancelled and it was clear that it never once saw the inside of a post office. No dirt, no barcode, nothing. And of course the bomb itself was completely fake. So when pressed, CNN backtracked and said it was delivered by a courier service. OK, which one? Who did they get it from? They aren't saying. The FBI may want to look into the CNN one a bit closer. They thought it was cute to put a sticker on their bomb that was in the style/script ISIS uses that spelled "Trump". Oh, and they used a $3 LCD clock for a mailbomb. A clock that doesn't even have a countdown timer or alarm. And for a mailbomb, where timers are stupid and completely ineffective.

Meanwhile Alex Soros is the fastest writer in the west, because he had an op-ed for the NYT's all penned up and ready to go this morning. Blaming Trump for his bomb of course.

Then Schumer and the AP were saying that a bomb had been sent to the Clinton's residence. In actuality, it never got out of the USPS processing center.

The bomb that arrived at Debbie Wasserman Schultz offices was supposedly sent to Eric Holder but the address was wrong so they did a "return to sender" thing. Amazing how the bomber timed it so that it would arrive back to Deb's offices the same day the other bombs made it to the other places. Anyone who has had a "return to sender" knows that it often takes weeks. So another obvious fake.

They really do think their supporters are stupid. They really do.

Of course the media is having an absolute field day with this. Finger pointing and blaming Trump for his 'hateful rhetoric' and insinuating that all Conservatives are dangerous etc...

I haven't heard them ONCE say ANYTHING about the Left Wing Activist that opened fire at the Congressional Baseball Game, damn near KILLING Steve Scalise. This is ****ing terrible, I am absolutely sickened by our media.

It seems as if the Democrats along with the Media are pushing hard for a one party system in this country, and a large percentage of their constituency appears to be buying into that idea. That's horribly frightening.

The beauty of our government is the fact that divisiveness and alternate points of views are basically built in, and that's a GOOD thing. This is why we have checks and balances.

Going full steam ahead for one party control is a seriously BAD idea, and all you need to do is look at places like Cuba, China and the Soviet Union to see the faults in that. And also California, look at what years of one party control has done to this place.

It seems as if critical thinking skills and the teaching of proper history has all but vanished in this country. I'm intelligent and pragmatic enough to realize that while I may not agree with somebody on the other side of the political spectrum from myself, I can recognize the importance of their ability to participate and have a voice. Why is the left trying to kill free thought and free speech? They are sure in the hell working hard at it.
