Senate office building being cleared due to suspicious package...

MSNBC live reporting... no link so not LBN.

ETA: Apparently just part of the building is being evac. Also secret service just confirmed suspicious letter to Obama on April 16th, letter stopped at screening facility.

All these suspicious packages are just people being careful. None of these things ever pan out (fortunately). They just found a UHaul truck in OKC that turned out to be nothing.

I was talking about all the planes that were supposedly hijacked on 9/11. All the rumored car bombs.

I work in a large retail center, I'm always alert.

I've had to "close" my store multiple times due to violence outside.

Sociopaths. Malignant narcissists. Whatever.

They consciously choose to harm others for political reasons, not because an imaginary voice or disease drives them to do it.

Although the other is a possibility also.

We won't know anything until the person or persons are caught.

I just hope it's soon.
