The FBI and Secret Service are investigating a package containing the highly-toxic poison ricin that was mailed to President Trump last week, CNN is reporting.

The package was intercepted by law enforcement, the report said.

Two tests were done to confirm the presence of ricin in the package, law enforcement sources told the network.

This is a poisonous but mostly peaceful protest.

1. This should be in breaking news.

2. The ricin was sent from Canada. So either an American crossed the border to mail it from there, or it was an international attack.

This kind of thing is not a joke. It is dangerous for the people who handle the mail.

The Unabomber bombs only hurt secretaries and office clerks who open campus mail-—the lazy professors never do actual work at a university. A woman had dozens of sharp splinters from a work table shot into her abdomen and chest as she opened a bomb from him. The SOB.

As to anthrax suspected or others, some will be “harmless powder” but some will be dangerous.

US postal service tracks anything mailed through it pretty closely, I imagine that the Canadians don’t do it as closely.

Hard to believe anyone could get away with something like this nowadays.

If we still have any semblance of an intelligence service this has to be watched for from now on. Even if they are like Comey and Brennan and hate Trump. They have a job to do.

The poison came in from Canada, Eh?

I say we put all Canadian Actors who are currently reaping the benefits of North American Capitalism in Internment Camps until further notice!

Just to be on the safe side. That cute Ryan Gosling can stay, though. ;)

Hopefully the perp’s DNA is already in a database and he/she left some on the packing tape.

I predict sometime in the next few months we’ll have reports of a Canadian invasion on the 6pm news.

Your sarcasm aside, Canada's immigration system is more lax than ours (hard as that is to imagine), so it isn't outside the realm of possibility that a non-Canadian and non-American person did this.

Who is dumb enough to believe that you can just mail the President something, and he is going to open it?

The first thing would be to check which actors were in Canada, Jim Carrey has been pretty unhinged and he is from Canada...

The hatred is extreme, and getting extremer. They plan to paralyze the country before Nov 3. You know, like burning down major downtowns, blowing up the power grid, poisoning people, and blaming it all on Trump.

I will do my best to cause crazy liberals to go out and wail at the moon the night of Nov 3.

What do we do? John Candy is dead so who can lead Canadian Bacon II?

I imagine there are worse people in Canada ( the usual scum) that want to get him for the thrill or for the money.

I think we had some pretty intense hatred of Obama and Clinton, but don’t recall anyone talking about the chaos and mayhem the Left seeks. These folks are inexperienced, immature, weak minded, spiritually lost and dangerous. They’ll go to far, and when they do they will understand what real Men and Women do to protect their families and country.
