Republicans are doing so well in early voting, and at the polls, and now this “Bomb” stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows - news not talking politics. Very unfortunate, what is going on. Republicans, go out and vote!

twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1055826295337172993

'Bomb' stuff? Again, the attention isn't where he needs it to be. Has he had some poll numbers? Some other existential threat? Has Vlad pulled his strings?

Lweji · 26/10/2018 15:43

How does he know anyone is doing well in early voting? Has he checked the votes? Hmm

ohmymimi · 26/10/2018 15:45

"Bomb" stuff' . This is the President of the USA at a time of grave national crisis.

As far as he's concerned, mimi, a 'grave national crisis' is people not voting for him.

cozietoesie · 26/10/2018 15:51

Sorry. voting Republican. 😃

ohmymimi · 26/10/2018 15:56

A POTUS who cares more about his twitter account than the citizens for whom he is responsible. He might thrill at his 'enemies' ' lives being threatened, and the thought of them and their families living fear. But where is his support and concern for the postal workers and their families?
Despicable, depraved shamer of his Office.

Twitter has removed many people from my account and, more importantly, they have seemingly done something that makes it much harder to join - they have stifled growth to a point where it is obvious to all. A few weeks ago it was a Rocket Ship, now it is a Blimp! Total Bias?

Gumpendorf · 26/10/2018 15:57

Lweji. Do the voting machines give a running tally? I've heard a lot about early voting being higher this election than in 2014 and someone on MSNBC this morning was saying the Republican turnout was higher in the early voting than Dems.

ohmymimi · 26/10/2018 15:59

In his mind, the same thing, cozie.
A man taken into custody for questioning, in Florida, just reported.

Lweji · 26/10/2018 16:00

I don't think so. They'll be able to have an idea of how many early votes there are, and by polls (or areas) if it's mainly Republicans or Democrats, but I'd be Shock if they already knew what the actual votes were.
Having said that, it's the US...

Lweji · 26/10/2018 16:05

I know it's the Daily Fail and all that, but it came out in my google results:

MAGAbomber sent all 10 pipe bombs via major USPS mail facility in crime-plagued Opa-Locka in South Florida

MAGAbomber? What do they know?

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6318335/MAGAbomber-sent-pipe-bombs-major-mailing-facility-Opa-Locka-Florida.html

Also, it's in Miami Dade, so I'll leave this here.

Couldn't think of a pithy quote so have this instead.  Trump #85

Also, when George Soros was the first reported target, I immediately thought of claig. Grin
They really had it in for Soros. Hmm

News conference 1430hrs ET, in light of this, seems this 50 yr old man may be being arrested, according to MSNBC.

ohmymimi · 26/10/2018 16:10

Also, another suspicious package in Calif.
Arrest confirmed, will be charged in connection with the bombs.

Lweji · 26/10/2018 16:11

The New York alert is for a package sent to Clapper @CNN.
It's the second sent to CNN, but addressed to former CIA director John Brennan.

It doesn't look like an insider, does it?

ohmymimi · 26/10/2018 16:23

Van, believed to be connected to arrested man, apparently covered in Trump/presidential seal/right wing stickers. FBI have now covered it and removing.

Well, I did mention stocking the fridge..........

@abbydphillip
As Trump attacks what he termed “fake polls,” members of the crowd gathered in the East Room responded “fake news!” And one person yelled “CNN sucks!” This came minutes after Trump called for unity in the wake of an arrest in the package bomb case.

ohmymimi · 26/10/2018 17:56

Then they started shouting out Infowars. Young black 'conservative ' leaders of tomorrow sound more like conspiracy loving, mindless, followersHmm

This is an event being held in the WH, not some aircraft hangar in the sticks:

@abbydphillip
As Trump is talking about immigration and the caravan, the crowd chants “build the wall!” “Get ‘em out!”
Trump mocks his critics: “‘America First, that could be racist!’ Why is that racist? "
“We reject the politics of division and we embrace the unity of being American,” Trump says after a long unscripted riff on Kanye, “fake polls” etc.
