(94,728 posts)WASHINGTON a For the second time in three days, President Donald Trump went after U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, an opponent of putting Judge Brett Kavanaugh on the U.S. Supreme Court.
During a White House press conference Monday to announce a new free trade agreement with Canada and Mexico, Trump criticized Booker, D-N.J., a potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and an opponent of Kavanaugh's nomination.
"Take a look at Cory Booker," Trump said. "He ran Newark, New Jersey, into the ground; he was a horrible mayor; and he made statements that when he was in high school or college what he was doing. He actually made the statements. And now he's talking about Judge Kavanaugh."

That information got my brain spinning: could it be possible that the scumbag GOP (perhaps with Putin's assistance) might design and implement these assassination attempts in order to pin them on some unknowing Democrat days before the election? I would put NOTHING past them. They are the Borgias of contemporary times.

Federal authorities discovered two more explosive devices, one addressed to Senator Cory Booker and the other to James R. Clapper Jr., the former director of national intelligence, law enforcement officials said on Friday.
The package sent to Mr. Clapper was addressed to CNNs offices in New York and was similar to a pipe bomb found Wednesday that was addressed to John O. Brennan, a former C.I.A. director.
The discoveries came as investigators looking into a spate of pipe bombs sent this week have turned their attention to southern Florida.
The package sent to CNN was discovered on Friday morning at a United States Postal Service facility in Midtown Manhattan. The package for Mr. Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, was found in Florida, the F.B.I. said. A total of 12 packages have been found so far.
