. . .by the able Secret Service and US Postal authorities -- the single unifying characteristic of each of the now-known ten or so would be targeted people / institutions. . . is that the far right had long written and spoken violently about them.
President Donald J. Trump has incessantly encouraged similar thoughts among the dwindling crowds at his rallies (as recently as a few nights ago) -- and more than occasionally, in violent terms. His weak denunciation this afternoon thus rings entirely. . . hollow. Here is the latest [I have been updating the list of intended targets, all week, as new information becomes available]:
. . . .A series of suspicious packages containing potential explosives set off a wave of panic after the Secret Service reported intercepting ones addressed to Former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama, and the former Vice President Joe Biden. . . [CNN and now Robert DeNiro, as well. . . .]
Liberal financier George Soros, former US Attorney General Eric Holder, Rep. Maxine Waters, former CIA Chief John Brennan, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and most recently, as of Friday, Sens. Corey Booker, Kamala Harrisand James Clapper, a former National Security Director. . . were also reportedly targeted. . . .
This is almost certainly a domestic terrorist, almost certainly a white ethnic male -- and he will be caught. Be sure of that.
I think it all may well turn out to be connected to the recent arrests of the white supremacy terrorists (latest one, this morning -- but across the last few days' time) running the "Rise Above Movement" (formerly known as the "DIY DIVISION") -- that has seen its leaders and foot soldiers indicted for -- among other things -- the gender, ethic and racial felonies in Charlottesville, of a year ago.
Donald Trump must now answer for the rhetoric he spews. Just a smattering:
“I’d like to punch him in the face.” 2/23/16
“Maybe he should have been roughed up.” 11/22/15
“Knock the crap out of him, would you? I promise you, I will pay your legal fees.” 2/2016
“I’ll beat the crap out of you.” 3/12/16
Make him pay -- at the ballot box, in 10 days.

Abominable.
