To be fair, they are just sending bombs to the enemies of the people. If the people of America have enemies, how else are they supposed to act?

Kinda sounds like one nutjob trying his 'luck' by going wide.

matter of time until he (or she) is arrested, doubt the Secret Service will take it lightly.

If these bombs had the capability to physically harm the targets, I would argue this is a giant terrorist attack. When was the last time this kind of thing happened? Obama, Clinton, DWS, CNN...that's a really big deal.

The claims of false flags are already circulating. It is just a question of how quickly Fox picks them up.

I'm shocked. Genuinely. Honest. Never would have expected false flags to come up over this. Never.

Wonder what the spin will be when they find whoever's sending them?

Not sure I care, tbh. They can’t condemn the attacks and then call for their opponents to be jailed the next day. Cruz called for Beto to be locked up last night and then condemned the attacks this morning. That is them saying they would prefer not to have bombs mailed to them, but its ok if a few get mailed to the democrats so long as Republicans win an election.

Ahm, yeah, obviously there's no difference between "lock her up" and "blow her up".

Come on now. Accusing your opponent to be criminal is normal in the USA. Literally. Both democrats and republicans do it, that's fair game and down to (if true-ish) authorities to figure out. That's a long way away from "second amendment people" and "blowing people to smithereens".

In regards to claims of a false flag event, i mean.. Of course. Lets be entirely non-facetious (i don't know what the word for opposite of facetious is) and realistic: that was entirely expected. It literally is what's happening for two years now, so no surprise there.

Only thing i'm asking myself is, is that the same guy that sent a bomb to Soros, or is it a group doing it.

edit: brief sidenote, giving Melania shit for condemning it because she's "one of them" is as counterproductive as calling it false flag. While absolutely not a perfect being, considering the hand she's dealt, she does make the impression of a somewhat decent human being. Something that's absolutely not the case for plenty of republicans including (very much so) your president.

They’ve been insisting these are enemies of the people who need to be stopped by whatever means necessary for a while now. It’s not like Trump didn’t call for Hillary’s assassination while campaigning.

Melanie wore the “i don’t care” jacket to the child abuse centers. It’s a bit of a stretch to frame her as a good person.

Condemning the bombing attempts is very nice and will be instantly canceled out when Trump next takes the stage in front of a crowd of people with signs like “CNN is ISIS”.

Or like Melania’s coat said “You don’t really care, do you?” is how she really feels about all of this.

No. That was Trump. Not "the republicans", and not Melania. I absolutely haven't forgotten what Trump called for (that's what i meant by "second amendment people", that was somewhere in the quote in question). I'm pretty sure that scumbags like Cruz for example would be on board with that, McCain wouldn't have been. So to simply say "well all republicans asked for dems to be blown up" is a bit like saying "all dems are okay with skewing political/democratic process" like they did with Bernie.

Generalisation doesn't work here: republicans won't go away. You will always have to deal with them, and the less hostile you do so, the easier and better it'll be at some point once "balance is restored again". While the political landscape in the USA looks a bit like Verdun in 1916, at some point people have to get objective again.

That's your spin on that jacket. There are explanations that, taking other statements and actions of her into account, make considerably more sense.
