Three Explosive Devices Sent to Clintons, Obama and CNN Offices
Explosive devices were sent to former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as to CNN's offices in New York, sparking an intense investigation on Wednesday into whether a bomber is going after targets that have often been the subject of right-wing ire.
A law enforcement official said the three devices were similar to one found Monday at the home of George Soros, the billionaire philanthropist and liberal donor.
[...] The device sent to CNN was contained in a manila envelope addressed to John Brennan, who was the C.I.A. director in the Obama administration and is a harsh critic of Mr. Trump. The president revoked Mr. Brennan's security clearance in what was seen as an act of retribution. The return address bore the name of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida congresswoman who formerly headed the Democratic National Committee.
In a statement, the White House condemned "the attempted violent attacks."
Update 1: The explosive devices have been described as pipe bombs. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says that a device was also sent to his office.
Update 2:
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's spokesman has identified the device sent to his office, originally believed to be suspicious, as a thumb drive containing files on the far right group Proud Boys. It does not appear to be related to the explosive devices.
[...] Another suspicious package has been intercepted at a Congressional mail screening facility in Capitol Heights, Maryland, according to CNN. [...] ABC News reported the package was addressed to Rep. Maxine Waters, a California Democrat.

This place will turn into disqus if you allow paid troll posters to sign up. Am I allowed to hawk boner pills here?
I think banning opinions and annoying personalities is a poor fit for a site like this but allowing people to come here with no intent to contribute positively in any way shape or form is a bad idea.
Furthermore I gotta tell you. You will not get a harder erection AT ANY PRICE than what my I offer at such a low price with my revolutionary boner bead pills. It is taking the internet by storm.

Meh. 4chan survived CorrectTheRecord, 4chan survived ShareBlue. When they pay trolls to come in they also expose that troll to other opinions, and at least in the case of 4chan lose a lot of their own people.
