Honestly it's getting ridiculous. No one else would get away with half this shit.

He's white, blond, visibly disgusting in every way, and consistently strokes the conservative amygdala. Trump is a perfect GOPer.

GOP controls everything and Trump is the perfect empty brain for them to fill with their ideals, and as a bonus his followers are more loyal than previously ever imagined by anyone.

Rush Limbaugh says it's a false flag operation, as the Alex Jones-ification of the GOP continues full steam ahead.

Apparently, Trump is about to speak....

My money is on that he doesn't come right out and say it's a hoax by the Democrats to make him look bad but absolutely says that at his rally tonight. Or he'll let his mob yell it out, and he'll smile that smarmy smile and say "Who knows, who knows. could be anyone... Many people say that's possible, but you know, we should be careful... but you may be right., no one knows for sure..."

Copycat cranks are a given. What remains to be seen is if this effort is that of an individual or a group. But we know there are good people on both sides, right?

It might not be a copycat, so much as a "good intent."

"Suspicious package" runs are a frequent occurrence every day for Police/Fire agencies all over the US. Most turn out to be benign/unexpected/unnattended/otherwise normal packages, but are still investigated until determined. Any news room around will have scanners listening for interesting calls to get a jump on stories. Most of the time, news agencies wait until initial units arrive, because it's very often what we term "good intent." As in the reporting person found a package (which can be a bag, suitcase, box, anything really) that they weren't sure about and called it in. (Note also that's different than a malicious false report that occurs, but is significantly less common)

But, on a day like today, when there's legit devices supposedly found elsewhere, any additional reports at high profile locations are likely to be reported upon immediately. (And folks at those locations have an increased index of suspicion to call in a report due to the other devices).

So, you'll likely see a lot of other reports that turn out to not to be actual devices. But, they'll each need to be investigated.

Remember this: 100% are "shit calls." Most are "Bullshit," but a few turn out to be "Oh, shit!" You just don't know which is which right away.

Trump is speaking at a previously scheduled opioid crisis event. Melenia started and addressed the events of the day. Let's see if Trump says anything

Trump gave a reasonable update and did condemn, although I do find his words rather hypocritical.

What is political violence?

Carefully chosen word written for him. No mention on toning down rhetoric. Never mentioned attack on media

Might as well add Debbie Wassermann Shultz. Seems one of the packages had also use her name as the return address. Jeez are they dumb.

I think they all had her office as the return address.
