UPDATE: RICIN CONFIRMED – Secret Service intercepts SUSPICIOUS envelope sent to Trump
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
On a day when there have already been two envelopes testing positive for the poison ricin sent to the Pentagon, the Secret Service is now acknowledging that they have intercepted a suspicious envelope sent to President Trump.
Here’s what we know via ABC News:
Two envelopes suspected of containing ricin poison, one addressed to Defense Secretary James Mattis, were identified in the Pentagon’s Central Processing Center, according to a U.S. official.
Later on Monday, the Secret Service reported it had also intercepted a suspicious envelope addressed to President Donald Trump, though that envelope was not received, nor did it enter the White House.
The envelopes found at the Pentagon’s mail center were addressed to Mattis and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson, the official said. Those pieces of mail, flagged as part of the Pentagon’s normal processing procedures, are being examined to determine whether they test positive for the deadly poison, the FBI said in a statement.
The Secret Service said it’s also cooperating with law enforcement to fully investigate the suspicious envelope addressed to the president.
“Further, all threats directed towards the President, or any Secret Service protectee, are treated seriously and fully investigated,” the Secret Service said in a statement.
Meanwhile, all U.S. Postal Service mail received at the Pentagon facility Monday is under quarantine, the Department of Defense said. That mail poses no threat to Pentagon personnel, the department added.
The Pentagon’s Central Processing Center is located on the Pentagon compound in Arlington, Virginia, but not directly attached to the main building. The envelopes did not enter the Pentagon.
My guess is that they’ll find this envelope has ricin as well. I’m sure it’s being sent to Quantico for further analysis, just like the two from the Pentagon.
I hope Kavanaugh has someone checking his mail for him because the loons are clearly out of the loony bin.
UPDATE : As I suspected, the envelope sent to Trump contains ricin:

No one cares. Big deal. /yawn
I care. We should all care when some piece of shit, whatever side of the ideological line they fall on, uses indiscriminate weapons of mass destruction to attempt to win their argument. It's pointless and even if they achieved some goal of assassinating Trump would simply inflame divisions further and solve nothing. The idiot/idiots who sent this would turn him into a martyr which is the last thing on the planet I want.
As fucked up as it may sound, as much as I despise the worthless lump of human that is Donald Trump, I would jump in front of a bullet to save his miserable ass. The only thing worse for American than a living Trump in the white house would be a dead one turned into a martyr for his devout deplorable faithful.

And they have one because the theory of gravity is predictable, I'm just not going to spend several minutes listing all of the details that are pertinent to a bullets momentum and how far it would fly before the earths gravity overpowers it forcing it to curve to earth.
But back to the seed, If true its serious and should be treated as such. If its just more tail wagging the dog with this administrations overreaction to an envelope of flour then lets move on, no point letting yourself get mesmerized by the tail.
E.A So True, so then Does the Constitution have Value, and should JUDGES Stick to it or be Moved " By the Dogs wagging tail " for what ever time length it so wags?
And what are the Ethical and Moral Values that the Constitution Instils to the Nation?
I wouldn't but I do agree that a martyred Trump would be a bad thing. The toxic living one is bad enough as it is.
I dont hate anyone I also would not take a bullet for trump or anyone.
If a person puts themselves in the path of a bullet that is their choice.
I'm careful where and when I put my body where there is that chance they should as well.
As far as saving trump because he may become a "a martyr" I'll chance it , time changes things people forget and trump would be soon be replaced anyway by the next power hungry leader. Pence comes to mind.
That's commendable. I absolutely would not put my life on the line for that piece of excrement.
These ricin attacks are inexcusable, un-American and end up hurting innocent people rather than the one they target. No one and I do mean no one should ever have to experience a death threat over differences.
