General Trump hilarity free-for-all thread

[Cain]

And now a suspicious package sent to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is being investigated.

CNN package was addressed to John Brennan, the former CIA head.  According to NBC, all the packages had return addresses "for a prominent Democratic Party official".

There are reports that the address on the packages is Wasserman Schultz's.  That makes it less clear whether the suspicious package is a bomb intended for her, or one for another target that was returned for some reason.  Awaiting confirmation on both points.

YAY!  WE'RE BELFAST!

Update via Guardian:

The packages had the return address of Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, CNN reported. It's a false return address used by whoever is behind the device. CNN reported that another explosive device was sent to President Obama's attorney general, Eric Holder - but it had the wrong address and was returned to center. That package was therefore returned to Wasserman Schultz's Florida office, where it was discovered as a suspicious package Wednesday.

False alarm

[Putin] also poked fun at the official seal of the US, which includes a bald eagle holding a bundle of 13 arrows in one talon and an olive branch with 13 olives in another.

"I have a question: Has your eagle picked all the olives and only has arrows left?" Putin asked with a laugh.


"Hopefully, I will have some answers for you," he said. "But I didn't bring any more olives."

"That's what I thought," Putin quipped.

And Governor Cuomo's NYC office as well.

Also appears to be a false alarm.

There are reports from NBC that the postal service intercepted a suspicious package mailed to Maxine Waters.

Trump is on TV mush-mouthing ain't it awful, as if this isn't what he set out to build.

[Cain]

Give him 48 hours and he'll be covertly praising the bomber in some fashion.  He always does this shit, someone slaps him aound the face and tells him to get out there and make a message about unity and crap (probably Kelly and Cohn), and then within two days he'll be walking back on his comments.

He's also learned that if you do something horrific, then stop, you can start doing it again and nobody will say shit.

"Look there's good people on both sides, both the bomber and the people being bombed have very good and valid points, and this is not the time to be talking about locking up illegal MS-13 child rapefugees" - Trump by Friday night.

Not touching that bet.

It's almost like you don't believe Donald "carry them out on a stretcher" Trump's calls for political unity and comments that violence has no place in politics.

I am a suspicious man, prone to random bouts of paranoia.
