A Florida man has been arrested in connection with the series of mail bombs sent this week, according to a report Friday.
The suspect is in federal custody for sending at least 12 suspicious packages containing what appears to be pipe bombs to high-level Democrats and critics of President Trump, CNN reported….

This is a breaking story more updates to come…
I look forward to seeing who this sick bastard is and if authorities are convinced they have the only perpetrator and what the evidence is.
Trump supporters, every single one of them that I have seen comment online, are completely and totally convinced this is all a “false flag hoax” done by the Democrats in order to try to help them in the election.
Any suggestion that the person who did this may be an actual Trump supporter is completely dismissed.
My hunch is that they will be mistaken.
The media people are focused almost solely on Trump ….AGAIN
Trump doesn’t give a shit…..
He’s NOT the President for the country
He is the leader of the Grand ole Party…
More info coming out ….
A lot of work done by postal inspectors and the FBI
Let’s see if Trump gives any props
The guy’s van is reportedly a shrine to Trump with photos all over it…
According to the Trumpists, obviously all faked! Probably being paid by Soros..
These people who see nothing but the need to stick with their Tribe are as sick as those who purposely slandered Kavanaugh
The name of the man detained in connection with the pipe bomb scare is Cesar Sayoc, 56, of Aventura, Fla., according to law enforcement officials.
It was not clear whether Sayoc had been formally charged in the rash of devices addressed in recent days to Democratic figures including former President Barack Obama, former Vice President Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton.
At the White House early Friday afternoon, President Trump in brief remarks called the attempted mail bombings “terrorizing acts [that] are despicable and have no place in our country.”

But just yesrerday Rush Limbaugh said “Republicans just don’t do these kind of things”
Man what that blowhard kicks it I’ll have to summon up a lot of self control not to drive down to Cape Girardeau and piss on his grave.
We might want to ask Rush how many Democratic supporters have put together and mailed out TWELVE PIPE Bombs because they think Trump is the second coming?????
As for Trump HIMSELF?
He’s pissed because the bomb story stole all the media oxygen for the last 36 hours….
Don’t worry Donald …
You’re right back on top…
President Trump lamented that a series of apparent mail bombs sent to prominent Democrats is halting Republican “momentum” ahead of the midterm elections, The Hill reports…..
Politicalwire…
President Trump’s attacks on “fake polls” were met with shouts of “fake news” and “CNN sucks” during his remarks at the Young Black Leadership Summit.
Trump started his remarks by making a call for national unity in light of explosive devices being sent to Democrats and former intelligence officials…..

The group is a Black CONSERVATIVE group folks…
Both sides need to act better to not entice their crazies. The times are only going to get more dangerous on this path. The rhetoric has got to stop whether it’s asking supporters to bother people in restaurants, gas stations, or at their homes, or applauding body slams. So much blame to go around on all sides.
It was a Democrat who tried to kill dozens of Republicans on a baseball field.
Thank G-d, that guy and this MAGA bomber turned out to be fairly bad at accomplishing their goal, and that law enforcement, in both cases, was able to prevent greater tragedy.
More false equivalency.
Yes there are crazies in rhe left lije the asshole from Southern IL that shot Scalia’s. But on the right yiu have a President who actively spreads conspiracy theories–and his party does nothing to stop him.
People on both sides spread conspiracy theories. No mainstream figure on either side has asked for shootings or bombs. Everyone in a position of responsibility, including above all else, a current President, needs to do a better job.
It should not be too hard for anyone, regardless of how partisan you are, to say that everyone needs to tone it down.
The Republican President of the United States-supported overwhelmingly by Republican candidates–is a conspiracy theorist.
This site gets old– I can see why Jack left.
Corey your plight is truly pathetic. The Never Trumper Republicans are dead and you refuse to see it . You are like Bruce Willis in 6th Sense.
It’s over man.
This site is on its last legs for sure (sorry james), I am going to follow through with my prediction posts, etc, until the election. Perhaps there may be people that want to discuss the election results, but I think it’s time to end involvement around Thanksgiving.
There are all sorts of conspiracy theorists. The fact that one became President is a sad commentary for us all. Let’s not dismiss the flaws of the left though. Wishing them away is not going to improve the standing of the Democrats, or more importantly America itself.
There are many NeverTrump Republicans and perhaps one day will be more. Regardless of if I were the last one left though, I will always stand behind my beliefs and values.
As John McCain used to frequently say, in America, “nothing is inevitable.”
Had a few more votes gone another way, we would have a “vast right-wing conspiracy theorist” as President.
The only issue the site seems to have is the regulars we are down to say the same things…
Some of us for almost ten years….
The Republicans that came here left because they couldn’t deal with the Democrats….
Then there those who are annoyed with ME…
Solution?
More commenters ….
But THAT doesn’t look promising
By the way folks
The number of visits have held steady and is climbing a little
As for the violence?
Trump invites it
It has come around and he doesn’t give a shit!
james, the site is over, at least for comments are concerned. You did the best you could. Time for a new chapter.
I’m gonna keep this place going …
Cause even if the regulars are tired of the same points of view?
Seems like others keep stopping in….
And I know most of the regulars still have an ear out for the place..
Thanks….
What others, James ?
Some of the former regulars are still on the feed….
Twitter apologized Friday evening for failing to delete a threat made against political commentator Rochelle Ritchie two weeks ago by the user who is now being held as a suspect in the mail-bomb campaign aimed at prominent Democrats and media.
Why it matters: Twitter’s longstanding inconsistencies in responding to users’ reports of threatening posts look even more problematic when those who post threats fall under suspicion of causing real-world violence….
