And you would think the hope of Texas would keep the crazies at bay for a few days.
Man arrested after allegedly threatening to bomb local Democratic offices in Spokane
A Spokane man was taken into custody Wednesday after police said he threatened to blow up a labor union building, local outlet KREM2 reports.
The man, who has not been publicly identified, entered the Teamsters labor union building, which also serves as the hub for county Democrats, with a device he said was an explosive, authorities in Spokane said. Police have yet to determine whether the device was, in fact, an explosive.
The offender held one person hostage in an office amid his threats, and set a fire within the building, police told KREM.
Police said everyone escaped safely.
But I guess the realization hit home.
GOP Texas senator questions 'legal theory' behind Trump's lawsuit to challenge state's election results
Texas Sen. John Cornyn (R) questioned why the state's Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) believed that his state's officials should have a say over how other states conduct their elections. Speaking with CNN's Manu Raju, the Texas Republican was referring to Paxton's claim that the results of voting in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia were "tainted" due to changes to election processes in those states.
“You know, it's very unusual because when a state sues a state, the Supreme Court of the United States has original jurisdiction, so you don't have to go through the ordinary procedure. I read just the summary of it, and I frankly struggle to understand the legal theory of it," Cornyn told CNN.
“Number one, why would a state, even such a great state as Texas, have a say so on how other states administer their elections,” the senator continued. “We have a diffused and dispersed system and even though we might not like it, they may think it's unfair...those are decided at the state and local level and not at the national level. So it's an interesting theory, but I'm not convinced."
