Early attempts to claim one intended for the wh had been intercepted that were quickly shown not to be true.

Also, expect claims the person who sent them’s a lefty trying to make the GOP/Trump look bad.

There is no war. Only small minded individuals trying to make the majority believe they are bigger than they are.

We all know they will claim Dems are doing it to themselves to rile up the base, ignore it, and show them they aren't bigger.

Asshole has, of course, sown the seeds of paranoia and doubt about reality so deep that the conspiracy theorists are howling mad. Chaos is his best friend.

I already peaked at Fox News comments just to watch it happen because I knew it would. Crazy, but I try to calm myself by saying many of those comments are Russian bots (and that there are at least 3,000,000 more people in this country that didn't want Trump than did.)

The 'war' theme is being exaggerated to frighten people, the same inspiration behind this flurry of bomb deliveries--intimidate, frighten and keep people from the polls. Create chaos so people hide under their beds.

Why?

Because our best weapon is our Vote. The Trumpsters know it; we know it.

As S. King said last night--this isn't the time to be scared; it's the time to be brave, time to run to the polls en masse and vote the haters out.

The Imposter-in-Chief has turned up the temperature to a raging boil with his disgusting rhetoric. Time to shut it down with huge, indisputable numbers at the polls, time to point fingers at the Ugly American sitting in the WH, truly the Emperor without Clothes.

Also time to face and push back the Imposter's odious acolytes with a simple declaration:

This Will Not Stand.
