We’re Now Up to Nine, and Still Counting

- President & former SOS Hillary Clinton
- Eric Holder
- George Soros
- Maxine Waters (2)
- Robert DeNiro
- Vice President Biden
- CNN
These are the recipients of letter bombs targeting critics of Trump that started surfacing on Tuesday. We don’t know who’s sending them, but the Noise Machine is already running at full throttle, screaming about a supposed “false flag” operation funded by George Soros to make Trump look bad. As we’ve seen for years now, facts don’t matter to Trump or his sycophants, and after calling for unity while reading off a White House teleprompter, Trump reversed himself in the evening, stepping up his verbal attacks on the media and opponents, trying to turn responsibility for the growing threat of domestic terrorism away from himself by blaming the media for recording and playing back what he says word for word. Knowing his adoring fans would support him, he took ZERO responsibility for the threats and violence that result from the bile pouring out of his own mouth. The deplorables cheered.
Anyone paying attention knows precisely where responsibility lay for the toxic environment that now pervades all American’s lives. Our democracy is threatened, and could easily crumble, even as Trump and the invertebrates in the Congress step up their destructive rhetoric and political actions. We don’t yet know who’s sending the letter bombs, but it’s my guess that the terrorist is some gun-humping weirdo sitting in his basement wearing a MAGA hat who actually believes that Hillary Clinton and members of Congress open their own mail.
