Secret Service intercepts 2 ‘suspicious packages’ addressed to Obama, Clinton – CNNPolitics
The United States Secret Service intercepted two “suspicious packages” addressed to former President Barack Obama and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton earlier this week, the agency said Wednesday.
Neither Obama nor Clinton received the packages or were at risk of receiving them, the Secret Service said. They were discovered during “routine mail screening procedures as potential explosive devices and were appropriately handled as such,” the agency said in a statement.The package intended for Obama was intercepted in Washington, DC, on Wednesday morning, and the one intended for Clinton was addressed to her in Westchester County, New York, on Tuesday.

Am I the only one who is disgusted by the use of the word “caravan”…it brings to mind the Roma Gypsy characterization. Or am I being too sensitive.

So, I just heard on CNN that there was an IED found up at the Clinton’s home in New York… also, another suspicious package at Obama’s in DC.
See the link in the post above. there is video .
Why am I not surprised? I’m actually surprised it hasn’t happened sooner.
You’re not too sensitive, JJ. I don’t know who thought up the “caravan” label, but it’s ugly. And the “telltale heart” cartoon should include Trump, although he probably isn’t capable of feeling guilt.
Also CNN for John brennan. The Obama’s. Debbie Wasserman schultz, and Eric Holder so far

“Caravan” sounds harmless to me, and that’s my problem with it. My mental image is of Winnebagos or something.
Totally wrong both ways, which is why they use it.

Great cache of comics, JJ – thanks
I remember back when we’d say “My favorite is the …” And now the comics are so bitterly sharp and about atrocities that our country (or the president*) is doing that I don’t want to say any one is my favorite — what’s a favorite way to get hit in the gut?
They’ve gotten almost as depressing as the news, but they do illuminate the stark reality we are living in now.
The toons are certainly gruesome this week.I remember being infuriated when the first atrocities from W’s invasion of Iraq started happening – beheadings and such. It made me seethe with rage to know he started that conflict and we had to live through those consequences.
The more things change….right?
So police knew her harasser had broken parole and knew where he lived but did nothing until after he’d murdered a woman who told him “No”.

BB, did you have any effects from this in Boston?
It looks like it was down on the Cape and RI. I didn’t get any tornado warnings, but we had a lot of rain last night.
I love my Derby team:
If you go please tell us about it!
“Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism…By ‘patriotism’ I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force on other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power. The abiding purpose of every nationalist is to secure more power and more prestige, not for himself but for the nation or other unit in which he has chosen to sink his own individuality.”
~George Orwell
I doubt that Trump ever read Orwell.
Actually many people could imagine this, but not at the NYT.
I just still cannot get over that his staff and officials are so worried about him divulging info but don’t do a damn thing about it. It’s surreal.
Anyone surprised at this? No? Thought not.
I admit it. Hills was wrong. The are not “deplorable” they are “bat-shit crazy wingnut fucktard fascists.”
And as far as Trump’s phone is concerned, every legitimate news outlet who wrote even a single word about Hillary’s e-mails should have to get down on their knees and beg for forgiveness from Hills and the American people for hypocritically and disingenuously pretending like she compromised National security.
Where is Septa Unella when you need her?
SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
That was exactly my thought – “but her emails!!!!!!1111!! X eleventy.
I firmly believe the Dump has outed a few of our covert assets in Russia and elsewhere.
