A Canadian woman has pleaded guilty to biological weapons charges after sending former President Donald Trump a letter laced with deadly ricin poison.
The envelope was intercepted in September 2020 before ever being delivered to the White House. The FBI found the fingerprints of Pascale Ferrier, 55, on the letter, which urged Mr Trump to drop out of the presidential race.

Pascale Ferrier is expected to be sentenced in April to just under 22 years in prison. Hopefully, PM Trudeau will make a deal with Pres Biden to imprison her in a Canadian facility.

1. I'm against bringing her back to Canada for her sentence

She not only went after Trump but 8 officers in Texas. She needs to take the consequences and do her time in the States.

2. Republicans don't have the monopoly on crazies.

They need to realize that.

3. Why don't I remember this incident?

Was it publicized? You'd think President Asshole would have used it to tar all Dems and cruise to victory.

4. I did not realize she went after Texas officers; I must have missed that in the report.

Anyways, she'll be sentenced to two decades. And she won't be worth PM Trudeau's time discussing with Pres Biden.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

5. She's a dumbass. Why fuck up your life over that guy.

If the attentions of our best political leaders can't deal with that hot orange mess, then we're fucked.

6. She should have disguised it as a donation.

8. My first laugh of the day...thank you!

7. If she had sent the package to Biden, she would be a right-wing hero.

Gun toters would be picketing for her release. We know that the poor woman is just a looney bird.

9. Good choice of poison since it is extrmely ineffective...

Ricin is, though one of the most toxic biological agents known, very ineffective in practical use. Happily for this world's would-be murderers, it is also widely advertised as an easily accessible poison, coming from castor beans - but happily quite harmless in the way it is normally misused. There are very few incidents where people has actually died from it, used as a poison - and as ricin letters it has low probability of risk.
