GQP threatening constantly, i.e. what's happening in Canada. GQP believe they are above the laws and rules of this country and I'm fucking getting extremely pissed off with them.

Vote them out.

The Secret Service has extensive investigative resources. The Secret Service has as good a chance as any agency of finding who called in the threat.

A threat of a bomb at a school will really piss-off your average juror, irrespective of politics.

This was a really bad idea.
