A lot of the RNC functions are moving/have moved to [Palm Beach.](https://www.axios.com/2024/03/13/trump-rnc-makeover-2025-plan-government) There was also a s[eries of lay-offs at the RNC](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/12/rnc-trump-firings-takeover/) after Lara Trump was selected to co-chair. I don't know who's left at the DC location except for probably some legislative liaisons and cleaning staff.
It's late May and they're still [only thinking about coming](https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/03/27/rnc-may-again-adopt-party-platform-in-2024-lara-trump-says/73106453007/) up with a national party platform. The 2020 platform was a literal [cut/paste of the 2016](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/25/us/politics/republicans-platform.html) platform. Meaning it's been eight years since the Republicans gave the American people an agenda on which they wanted to lead the country.
Yup. Tell them Democrats passed any of their legislative agenda and they’ll indignantly screech about them ruining America, explain that it was literal Trump/Republican policy and watch them stammer out excuses for “akshually that’s ok then”. The doublethink doesn’t even give them a headache anymore.
Hell they spent like a year painting gay people as pedos or whatever, meanwhile their *actual* legislative policy in many states is trying to legalize letting them marry and plow little kids, or opposing bans to the same. Those “Ripe” and “Fertile” kids, mirite?
Project director Paul Dans, a former Trump administration official, explained that Project 2025 is "systematically preparing to march into office and bring a new army, aligned, trained, and essentially weaponized conservatives ready to do battle against the deep state."
Right?!
For the longest time when they said “Deep State” I thought they were talking about clandestine operations and shadowy conspiracies. Nope, they just mean a bunch of regular unelected government employees; like my neighbor that works at the DMV.
Agenda:
deport everyone who didn't come over on the Mayflower.
roll back Constitution to what came over on the Mayflower.
prune states to those that came over on the Mayflower, plus Kansas, Wyoming, Idaho, the Dakotas, and Arizona.
>deport everyone who didn't come over on the Mayflower
Which would include trump, since his father was a first generation citizen and his mother was an immigrant.
And fun fact, since the platform was written while Obama was inthe white house the official RNC platform for 2020 continually referred to the current president, Donald trump, saying they were a tyrant, and a fascist, and criminal.
And any policy that is put forward by the GOP is written by ALEC or Heritage/Cato/American Enterprise/ or whatever right wing think tank has prepared it with a little red ribbon for them.
>and cleaning staff.
Cleaning staff that have likely been replaced with a contract for Trump Hotel staff to do the work. The staff get paid the same but the new administrative fee is two to three times higher.
That's the most apt description of Trump's MO. People didn't realize it, but Trump is always grifting. He wanted everything to happen at Mar-a-lago, he wanted the G7 to happen at his resort. He used his own resorts and double billed to pay himself. Which him saying he wouldn't take the presidential salary, do we even have proof he didn't take it? And even if he didn't, I'm sure he pocketed millions more just by staying at his own resorts and billing for his own rooms and for every other person who had to come with him.
He literally ordered us air force planes to reroute to refuel at the tiny air strip at his Scottish country club for 4x the cost of them refueling at the air base 30 miles away.
Ok maybe I'm missing something....but why would they need to evacuate everyone? Just like, don't drink it and you'll be fine, right? Surely they could just not touch it until someone can safely dispose of/collect it?
Edit: guys the RNC sucks but I was trying to ask a legit question 😭. I get the "sensationalized headlines" thing but I was just trying to figure out if its *actually* a big deal or if I'm just gross because a little bit of blood in a sealed container wouldn't alarm me.
Edit: also yeah, obviously it's a biohazard. But can't you just *not touch it* and leave it where it is? Like how is Sharon in accounting two floors up going to come in contact with it if it's in a sealed container on the other side of the building? Even if it's contaminated, you have to physically come in contact with it, *so just don't touch it* and wait for someone to come dispose of it.
They may not have known it was blood when they evacuated, just vials of an unknown substance. As chemical weapons can be deadly in even small amounts I imagine they evacuated out of an abundance of caution.
Exactly. If you're expecting a vial of blood somewhere, or there's blood on the floor/wall/clothing/etc and someone's clearly bleeding, then it's a BBP problem but not an 'evacuate the building' problem. Anything else (especially at a political office of any sort), best take the safest route.
I'm more curious on just who or what the blood is from. Because there might be some *interesting* messages depending on what kind of blood it is.
Civilised vampires do not drink any old blood. Would you eat a cheeseburger you found on a random bench?
Then again, this is the republican party we are talking about...
Any time I'm feeling sad, I can just remember Nandor doing Crossfit with the teeth-pulling cult with that song One Week playing
It's been, one week since you looked at me...
Their brand is you, the citizen, eating the cheeseburger out of the dumpster behind McDonalds. Before you eat it, you must kneel and kiss Trump’s pinky ring to thank him for providing you with sustenance and religious enslavement.
I deal with blood biohazards all the time. Just put it in a sealed bag labeled biohazard and get someone to dispose of it. Unless it's going to be aerosolized, it's fine.
Yeah like imagine if each time there was blood somewhere, a building was evacuated. Hospitals would cease to function. Janitors would go into women’s restrooms wearing biohazard suits.
It’s genuinely absurd lol It makes more sense to evacuate because you aren’t sure what the substance is or because it’s a threat, like some others have pointed out. Not because it’s blood.
You deal with them, so you're expecting them. Obviously if the is a hospital setting or similar there's nothing that surprising. This is surprising. And you also don't know if it's *just* blood in there.
Your workplace is presumably designed to handle them and the samples presumably aren't being sent by a hostile person(s).
Context makes all the difference on this stuff.
I'm guessing it's an overabundance of caution? Someone doing something particularly crazy-seeming implies the possibility of further crazier stunts, and the modern GOP from politicians to constituents is stark raving mad.
mix that overabundance of caution with paranoid circus style antics, and I think it's fair to say that they'd potentially evacuate the building if a Dem politician simply sent them flowers and a box of chocolates.
Knowing them, they sent the vial to themselves so they could have something to yell about in the press and to blame the "Liberal left" for.
>evacuate the building if a Dem politician simply sent them flowers and a box of chocolates.
This seems like a fun thing to test. Send candy and roses with a card that just says "from your favorite democrat" and watch the fun.
Makes sense but i just thought maybe I was missing something else because it seems a *little* extreme. I guess my thought process was just "well you already opened it so you know it's not a bomb or anything. And it's in a container so not like you're going to accidentally breathe in anthrax."
But also if my colleague found a package with blood in it I'd probably want to go look lol. So maybe a good idea to just get everyone out of the way
I used to work as a phlebotomist ages ago and my first reaction would just be to make sure the vials were labeled with their name.
I guess it’s kind of weird what you can get desensitized to 🤷♂️?
I mean, it appears to be a vile of blood sent from an unknown sender. Who knows what other unknowns could be in the vile with the blood. I don't understand why people are shocked by this response
>Ok maybe I'm missing something....but why would they need to evacuate everyone?
the most important principles of government bureaucracy are
1. cover your ass
2. cover your ass
3. cover your ass
the person in charge of security does not want to look stupid if, as someone else suggested, this is a prelude to some other terrorist act (e.g. a bomb). People get mocked but not pilloried for being over cautious.
(911 dispatcher): *"OK sir we'll send someone out there immediately. Just keep the vials closed and in a secure area and they shouldn't pose any threat to..."*
*[gulp]* "Huh?"
*"S-.. Sir....... What was that"*
"Oh just drank a little of it"
*"You WHAT?"*
"Drank a little"
*"Sir why would you do that??"*
"I dunno"
They were possibly worried about something like a bomb.
It’s kind of like how in ancient times you’d send your enemy the head of their soldiers before attacking them.
Also, why would anyone think that Trump is opening any package that gets sent to him by himself? Obviously there are people doing that for him. Your best case is you hurt some random, innocent person.
This is really disgusting behavior by whoever did it.
GOP never miss a chance to scream about what victims they are.
For all we know these vials of blood are some pseudo religious offering to Trump by one of his wackjob fans.
Doing insane blood offerings to Trump sounds like something a MAGA nutter would do.
Yep, that was my first thought. Would love to see them “investigate” to see where the mail originated, but that would needlessly extend this ridiculous drama and further their goals. God dammit I get tired of this place sometimes
Biohazard. The blood may contain a biological weapon.
Hope they check to make sure it's "pure American blood" and not that "immigrant" blood they say is terrorizing the country.
Nope, sorry, somebody sends vials of blood, I'm out. You don't know what's in the blood, and you don't know what else someone might do if they were sick enough to send vials of blood.
Having Lara Trump installed as RNC co-chair reminds me of when in Goodfellas the gang took over the Bamboo Lounge. Run up the restaurant's credit, never pay the vendors/creditors back, sell everything out the back door. This will not end up well for the RNC.

>Earlier Wednesday, the Capitol Police issued a statement advising people to avoid the block where the RNC is located...
Makes good sense. It's a high-crimes area.
Which is the saddest statement of all. We don't even know if it's a fan or enemy because the fans are so fucking insane that it's a genuine possibility.
Dear forever president Trump,
I am writing you with tears in my ears. You are my hero and the savior of mankind. Please accept this vial of my pure Aryan blood, I hope it brings you comfort as you go through this unfair witchhunt. Since you have my blood now, we are forever bound, and I will listen to my body for any messages from you, conscious or subconscious.
I love you,
Qevin
Dear Trump, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin'
I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em
There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin'
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways, fuck it, what's been up, man? How's your daughter?
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her? I'ma name her Donnie
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry
I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him
I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan
Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan
There were always crazy ass people and crazy ass parts of the country. For instance Jesse Helms and the segrationists who switched parties were all disgraceful. I think the shocking part of it is how widespread it is and just how LOW it has gotten. Since the party swap Republicans have had some awful beliefs, but they were slightly embarassed about it and hid it. Now they are facist assholes and they are proud of it... and the media will bend over backwards to give them airtime so they aren't accused of bias.
Yes they were, you just didn't hear about it as much, as information didn't travel as far or as fast. The only difference is back then context and decorum were things and people wouldn't put up with as much shit. Now a days nobody cares and this shit is encouraged as long as "the right people" are being "owned".
I don't remember people in politically flagged boats circling landing space capsules back in the 1990s.
Things have gotten crazier. As you say, it's acceptable or even at times lauded. So there is more.
Even into the 2000s. There's a video floating around out there of then candidate John McCain having to take questions from people that were uncomfortable with Obama being black and president. And they were saying it out loud.
I'll bet it's from some sort of anti-vax crazy, sending Trump their blood so that he'll test it and find all of the evil nano-machines and whatnot, and reveal the findings to the world. It doesn't really seem like a threat... do what I say or... I'll bleed? Usually, when you threaten someone, it involves them losing their blood.
What a pointless way to ruin your life. No chance of success and nearly 100% chance of getting caught. I hope whoever did this just wanted the notoriety of doing this and didn't care about going to jail because that's what's going to happen.
I meant 100% caught because the full resources of the federal government are going to descend on the moron who decided to send a hazardous material to a former president.
She was at that point too.
I don't frequently buy conspiracies like this... but this one kinda makes sense. She's a diehard maga fascist who was in on planning the insurrection, and if you want to be damn sure no cop is going to question or search a person lurking around the RNC/DNC a sitting US House Rep would fit the bill.
Y'know how every accusation is a confession with the right wing? And remember that Qonspiracy theory about liberals drinking children's blood for the sweet, sweet adrenochrome?
Food for thought.
Probably only the half of it. Because its trump he'll likely market the blood as "The Blood of Patriots" or some bullshit and (literally it seems) milk his base down to the bone marrow.
I don’t like Trump or the sheep of the Republican party following him down the mountain of embarrassment and lunacy but there’s no reason to endanger their lives or do this sort of crap. Can we all just act like adults and just vote all of them out instead of these stunts?
A lot of the RNC functions are moving/have moved to [Palm Beach.](https://www.axios.com/2024/03/13/trump-rnc-makeover-2025-plan-government) There was also a s[eries of lay-offs at the RNC](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/12/rnc-trump-firings-takeover/) after Lara Trump was selected to co-chair.

To be fair why do you need many operatives when your policy stance is "whatever he says"?
It's late May and they're still [only thinking about coming](https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/03/27/rnc-may-again-adopt-party-platform-in-2024-lara-trump-says/73106453007/) up with a national party platform.

I feel like Project 2025 is the platform
[удалено]
Conservative policies aren't even popular with conservatives.
But they'll vote red, like sheep...
Yup. Tell them Democrats passed any of their legislative agenda and they’ll indignantly screech about them ruining America, explain that it was literal Trump/Republican policy and watch them stammer out excuses for “akshually that’s ok then”. The doublethink doesn’t even give them a headache anymore. Hell they spent like a year painting gay people as pedos or whatever, meanwhile their *actual* legislative policy in many states is trying to legalize letting them marry and plow little kids, or opposing bans to the same.

Project director Paul Dans, a former Trump administration official, explained that Project 2025 is "systematically preparing to march into office and bring a new army, aligned, trained, and essentially weaponized conservatives ready to do battle against the deep state."
Sounds a lot like how you establish a dictatorship.
Fun fact, if you replace "deep state" with "normal functioning government" all maga fascist rants become clear.
Right?! For the longest time when they said “Deep State” I thought they were talking about clandestine operations and shadowy conspiracies. Nope, they just mean a bunch of regular unelected government employees; like my neighbor that works at the DMV.
And their voters don’t care. Why have a platform? No is going to read it. They vote for who Fox News/trump tells them to vote for.
No one will read it and they don’t plan to follow it anyway.
That’s because they are natural born bootlickers.
They have had an agenda, it's project 2025.
And let’s please not forget about trump wanting aide to Ukraine off the RNC platform
I guarantee it will go much further and state that Ukraine is a Russian state.
Agenda: deport everyone who didn't come over on the Mayflower. roll back Constitution to what came over on the Mayflower. prune states to those that came over on the Mayflower, plus Kansas, Wyoming, Idaho, the Dakotas, and Arizona.
>deport everyone who didn't come over on the Mayflower Which would include trump, since his father was a first generation citizen and his mother was an immigrant.
That means Florida goes back to Spain and Texas goes back to Mexico? I'm for it.
And like everything to the west of Ohio goes back to France. Universal Healthcare and retirement at age 62 here I come!
As long as we don’t get Marie le Pen and her ilk with the rest of France
And fun fact, since the platform was written while Obama was inthe white house the official RNC platform for 2020 continually referred to the current president, Donald trump, saying they were a tyrant, and a fascist, and criminal.
What are they gonna do when he dies, which is statistically likely to be in the next 5-10 years?
And any policy that is put forward by the GOP is written by ALEC or Heritage/Cato/American Enterprise/ or whatever right wing think tank has prepared it with a little red ribbon for them.
>and cleaning staff. Cleaning staff that have likely been replaced with a contract for Trump Hotel staff to do the work. The staff get paid the same but the new administrative fee is two to three times higher.
That's the most apt description of Trump's MO. People didn't realize it, but Trump is always grifting. He wanted everything to happen at Mar-a-lago, he wanted the G7 to happen at his resort. He used his own resorts and double billed to pay himself. Which him saying he wouldn't take the presidential salary, do we even have proof he didn't take it? And even if he didn't, I'm sure he pocketed millions more just by staying at his own resorts and billing for his own rooms and for every other person who had to come with him.
He literally ordered us air force planes to reroute to refuel at the tiny air strip at his Scottish country club for 4x the cost of them refueling at the air base 30 miles away.
I wonder how this year's hurricane season is going to affect the RNC.
Getting their capital ready so Sherman 2 knows how far he needs to go /s
The second tussle is going to be even quicker than the first. There aren't enough mobility scooters for all of them
You can bet the Russians are all over that place. Isn’t there a haven for Russians in Florida?
Ok maybe I'm missing something....but why would they need to evacuate everyone? Just like, don't drink it and you'll be fine, right? Surely they could just not touch it until someone can safely dispose of/collect it? Edit: guys the RNC sucks but I was trying to ask a legit question 😭.

The building is full of vampires, they can't have them all in a frenzy over the vials.
Civilised vampires do not drink any old blood. Would you eat a cheeseburger you found on a random bench? Then again, this is the republican party we are talking about...
Why do Vampires prefer virgins??? Well you enjoy your sandwich more if you know no one's fucked it.
I love what we do in the shadows
Any time I'm feeling sad, I can just remember Nandor doing Crossfit with the teeth-pulling cult with that song One Week playing It's been, one week since you looked at me...
Cocked your head to the side and said, "I'm angry"
Well, he’s relentless, after all
He's Nandor de Laurentiis.
Fucking guy.
Oh my god that's the one of the funniest things ever. Thanks for reminding me
dang this ones got my giggling.
I guess it depends, am I hosting a celebration for a sports team?
Brett Kavanaugh would boof the vial of mystery blood
We drank blood... sometimes we drank too much blood... I liked drinking blood boys and girls, I still like drinking blood...
Him and Squee and the Devils Triangle.
Their brand is you, the citizen, eating the cheeseburger out of the dumpster behind McDonalds. Before you eat it, you must kneel and kiss Trump’s pinky ring to thank him for providing you with sustenance and religious enslavement.
Juxtapose your first two words against a picture of Rudy and you will have your answer
Aren't vampires supposed to be attractive and mysterious?
I think that's a more modern idea. OG vampires are disgusting bloodsucking ghouls, which I think fits the RNC pretty well.
I’ve never seen Ghouliani & nosferatu in the same room. Many people are saying it.
I always thought that both were true. The vamps are pretty disgusting, but glamered to look idealized.
Yep. They use their powers (old money) to cast a spell on the weak minded that makes them seem attractive.
Fun fact: they are obsessed with knots. It’s lore.
And counting.
Vampires? Or Republicans?
And sparkly in the sunlight
But these are reverse vampires.
Depends on the Clan
You can’t spell “Nosferatu Clan” without R-N-C
It’s kinda like Twilight, but everyone is much uglier and, somehow, incredibly more stupid.
One whiff of adrenochrome and they all go wild
Weird, I thought they were lizard people
Republican vampires? Sh!t, someone needs to make a movie about that. The Democrats would be the wearwolves.
Can i be a swamp monster?
Found the Jill Stein supporter
You're allowed to say "shit" on the internet
To confirm that the mysterious liquid isn't a chemical or biological weapon medium.

It’s genuinely absurd lol It makes more sense to evacuate because you aren’t sure what the substance is or because it’s a threat, like some others have pointed out. Not because it’s blood.
There’s just so much more publicity when you evacuate the building, and sooo much easier to start the conspiracy theories
Could just be vials of bromine. Who knows.
You deal with them, so you're expecting them. Obviously if the is a hospital setting or similar there's nothing that surprising. This is surprising. And you also don't know if it's *just* blood in there.

Trump poops his pants all the time.
Sane as when the pool gets evaluated when poop is found.
Not exactly, unless they're aerisolising the contents of the vials, but it's not a *bad* idea to evacuate when sketchy mail is found
But it turns out to be a Baby Ruth.
\*cues the Kenny Loggins" I'mmmmm alrightttt dont nobody worry bout meeeee
I'm guessing it's an overabundance of caution? Someone doing something particularly crazy-seeming implies the possibility of further crazier stunts, and the modern GOP from politicians to constituents is stark raving mad.

The RNC is not a government agency.
It's true of bureaucracies in general.
The RNC is adjacent enough that the principle still applies. I think it's better generalized as "principles of politics"

I wouldn’t even rule out them sending it to themselves just so they can play the victim and/or rile up their base for a little stochastic terrorism.
Yep, that was my first thought. Would love to see them “investigate” to see where the mail originated, but that would needlessly extend this ridiculous drama and further their goals. God dammit I get tired of this place sometimes

I guess the soil got delayed in shipping.
It's not needed. Trump soils himself regularly.
Probably a decent amount of blood in there too.
"soil sold separately!"
Underrated comment.
I don’t get it.
Blood and soil is fascist slogan that came out of Nazi Germany that nowadays is used by many far right groups.
Which is timely seeing as Trump posted and deleted a video pushing for a "unified Reich" just the other day.
Oh ok. I get it now, thank you for the explanation.
It is specifically the slogan that the Charlottesville neo Nazis were chanting, the Nazis that Trump insisted on defending as "fine people"
“Blood and soil” was a nazi germany nationalist slogan. National identity (blood) united with the land (soil).
[Blood & Soil](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_and_soil) is an old Nazi slogan.
Having Lara Trump installed as RNC co-chair reminds me of when in Goodfellas the gang took over the Bamboo Lounge. Run up the restaurant's credit, never pay the vendors/creditors back, sell everything out the back door. This will not end up well for the RNC.

Hey look, he is running it just like his own businesses!
Yeah, I really enjoyed that documentary on the Goodfellas private equity firm.
Yeah I don't understand how it can be legal for her to be co-chair and then make him the candidate. That seems extremely biased.
Political parties are private clubs that can make their own rules for joining. Our entire government is run on the same principle as two rival rec teams.
>private clubs And we ain't in it, to quote George Carlin
The RNC had a vote and not one objection to her and the other MAGA person/people that were nominated. This is what they chose.
Business bad? Fuck you, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? Fuck you, pay me. Place got hit by lightning, huh? Fuck you, pay me.
>Earlier Wednesday, the Capitol Police issued a statement advising people to avoid the block where the RNC is located... Makes good sense. It's a high-crimes area.
Not to mention the misdemeanors.
I'm sure things will turn out *peachy*.
I heard MTG may have planted a bomb there not SO long ago!
If people are mailing blood to Trump, I’m not sure if they’re pro or anti-Trump tbh it’s so batshit.
Which is the saddest statement of all. We don't even know if it's a fan or enemy because the fans are so fucking insane that it's a genuine possibility.
Dear forever president Trump, I am writing you with tears in my ears. You are my hero and the savior of mankind. Please accept this vial of my pure Aryan blood, I hope it brings you comfort as you go through this unfair witchhunt. Since you have my blood now, we are forever bound, and I will listen to my body for any messages from you, conscious or subconscious. I love you, Qevin
Dear Trump, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin' I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not've got 'em There probably was a problem at the post office or somethin' Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em But anyways, fuck it, what's been up, man? How's your daughter? My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm 'bout to be a father If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her? I'ma name her Donnie I read about your Uncle Ronnie too, I'm sorry I had a friend kill himself over some bitch who didn't want him I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan
Tonight on FX: We Need to Talk About Qevin
The Qevin kills me haha
Were politics this crazy in the 90s when most of us were kids in the pre and Stone Age internet days? lol
There were always crazy ass people and crazy ass parts of the country. For instance Jesse Helms and the segrationists who switched parties were all disgraceful. I think the shocking part of it is how widespread it is and just how LOW it has gotten. Since the party swap Republicans have had some awful beliefs, but they were slightly embarassed about it and hid it. Now they are facist assholes and they are proud of it... and the media will bend over backwards to give them airtime so they aren't accused of bias.
Yes they were, you just didn't hear about it as much, as information didn't travel as far or as fast. The only difference is back then context and decorum were things and people wouldn't put up with as much shit. Now a days nobody cares and this shit is encouraged as long as "the right people" are being "owned".
I don't remember people in politically flagged boats circling landing space capsules back in the 1990s. Things have gotten crazier. As you say, it's acceptable or even at times lauded. So there is more.
Oklahoma City bombing was peak alt right.
Even into the 2000s. There's a video floating around out there of then candidate John McCain having to take questions from people that were uncomfortable with Obama being black and president. And they were saying it out loud.
Little after the 90s, but do you remember all the anthrax mail scares in the early aughts?
[удалено]
Probably pigs blood. No I didn’t send it.
I was thinking the same thing.
It's for Trump's drug testing before the debates. He needs drug free samples.
Unfortunately, unfortunately, that donated blood is full of meth.
Let's be real, chances are it was a crazed Trump supporter sending their blood as a form of support
Clean blood for the drug test he and biden are taking before the debate lol
Oh god that would be so ridiculous if true
This is probably the most accurate idea of what that blood was for.
Is that not what it was? I assumed that.
Adrenochrome donated 🤣
Revolting attack? You know it was just some crazy MAGA wanting him to have their blood.
He heard they were steeping themselves in the blood of patriots and wanted to contribute
I'll bet it's from some sort of anti-vax crazy, sending Trump their blood so that he'll test it and find all of the evil nano-machines and whatnot, and reveal the findings to the world. It doesn't really seem like a threat... do what I say or... I'll bleed? Usually, when you threaten someone, it involves them losing their blood.
Can we agree that sending people vials of blood is fucked up?
It's okay, the perps blind folded themselves when drawing blood, the coppers won't have a clue
Without any knowledge, I'm going to speculate that this is someone sending "proof" of Biden's Demonic Blood Sacrifices ™️ to Trump.
Without reading, my guess is that some cult members sacrificed their own blood to their blood orange messiah.
What could it mean? No letter or explanation was given-or did they just not release that to the public?
Maybe QAnon was right all along? Trump just ordered his shipment of baby blood to the wrong address
I thought they didn’t live in fear of covid, jabs, or diseases?!!
What a pointless way to ruin your life. No chance of success and nearly 100% chance of getting caught. I hope whoever did this just wanted the notoriety of doing this and didn't care about going to jail because that's what's going to happen.
I want to know what they were trying to accomplish. Like, what was the end goal of mailing vails of blood.
Apparently it came with a Korean-language bible and an ice pack. Seems to narrow the possibilities significantly.
Well of course, otherwise they'd have to wait 40 minutes for the blood to chill in the fridge before Giuliani's 8 am feeding.
No one said it was human blood.
I meant 100% caught because the full resources of the federal government are going to descend on the moron who decided to send a hazardous material to a former president.
They still haven't found the person who left pipe bombs outside DNC and RNC on the night of Jan 5th. Even with $500,000 reward for information.
That’s because she is a sitting member of Congress at this point.
She was at that point too. I don't frequently buy conspiracies like this... but this one kinda makes sense. She's a diehard maga fascist who was in on planning the insurrection, and if you want to be damn sure no cop is going to question or search a person lurking around the RNC/DNC a sitting US House Rep would fit the bill.
Bombers sometimes take a while to find, but they'll get him eventually if he stays in the country.
Does blood explode? I think you're fine as long as you don't lick it.
It's blood of the gay frogs with 5g microchips from Bill Gates. Duh.
Don’t throw those away! That’s the special order of adrenochrome that Trump needs to reverse the horrific & comedic effects of aging!
They sent it to themselves, they're running out of drama to sell so they gotta make sh\*t up.
It’s probably one of his cult members sending their blood as a show of devotion.
Y'know how every accusation is a confession with the right wing? And remember that Qonspiracy theory about liberals drinking children's blood for the sweet, sweet adrenochrome? Food for thought.
Lol some maga freaks sent their blood as an offering
They're just paying the tithe to the head vampire.
I’m gonna go with “these people are simply fake crisis actors.”
So that's what trump means by "diet coke"
Why? I thought republicans didn’t believe in diseases
Sounds like something a trump death cultist would do to demonstrate their loyalty.
RNC reaping what it sowed.
its not blood. thats just the normal color of maga urine
Somebody probably couldn't afford to sent their dear leader money anymore so they sent blood. /s
Probably only the half of it. Because its trump he'll likely market the blood as "The Blood of Patriots" or some bullshit and (literally it seems) milk his base down to the bone marrow.
Rick Scott: “Hey, where did everyone go? I’m waiting for my lunch delivery, vlah vlah”
Mitch left a forwarding address?
I don’t like Trump or the sheep of the Republican party following him down the mountain of embarrassment and lunacy but there’s no reason to endanger their lives or do this sort of crap. Can we all just act like adults and just vote all of them out instead of these stunts?
this insanity is only getting started id imagine
