Trump and Ricin story

First I pray this isn't true. My hope is this criminal goes to jail for a long-LOoOONNNGGG time but a part of me believe this is some sort of ploy either for sympathy votes but I suspect this is the reason used to do something evil.


To start a war.

Barr to assert Paramilitary around the the country.

any ideas?

Sending stuff like that is supremely stupid. They'll never get to Trump but still can be found guilty for attempted assassination.

It apparently was mailed from inside Canada.

That doesn't mean a crazed Canadian did this. It could be considered an assassination attempt.

I do not like the path we are headed down. Americans physically preventing Americans from voting.
A president encouraging violence daily, A president willing to let hundreds of thousands of Americans die because he does not care. An attempt to kill the president...

Americans can be better than this. We must be better than this or we have become one of Trump's "shit hole countries".
