^ It's not even close to the worst it's ever been, it probably is the worst it's even been in my lifetime though.  It's hard not to worry when things feel like they are going backward and we have an evil man in the WH.  Maybe the sense of doom some of us feel is out of proportion, but when the President of the United States of America declares himself a Nationalist and is in bed with Russia, I can't feel especially optimistic.  

((Sigh))

 

 

This is the woman who is the GOP's great hope. God help us all.

What we know at this time regarding arrest in connection to mail bombs:

➡️@BrowardSheriff's office moved in and made the arrest
➡️ Happened in or near Plantation, Florida
➡️ There was some sort of confrontation
➡️ A "loud explosion" was heard during the arrest pic.twitter.com/Oz3Wn4qszq

do they believe he is the sole person who has sent all the packages?

^^ I'm not really sure at the moment.  I started to listen to the livestream and then clicked off when they went live to the White House.

Even before the arrest, news outlets have been discussing the common features of each envelope as if to suggest the same person but I'm not sure whether this is for all or some of the packages.

Lots of spelling errors on how the packages are addressed and the fact that they were sent through the USPS makes me wonder about the intellectual fitness of the suspect.

From the look of this, it's pretty clear that this suspect, Cesar Sayoc, was radicalized by Trump. https://t.co/rHbZR0j2aI

You'll be shocked to learn people are already working overtime to claim this is all a plant and that the stickers are too fresh, even though various people on social media have mentioned or shown photos of the van going back to last year. 

This woman was harassed by him and ignored after she complained, so I'm glad she's making it public.

 

Hey @Twitter remember when I reported the guy who was making threats towards me after my appearance on @FoxNews and you guys sent back a bs response about how you didn’t find it that serious. Well guess what it’s the guy who has been sending #bombs to high profile politicians!!!! pic.twitter.com/xBY8FMbqnq

I wonder if he's really part of the Seminole tribe or just delusional.

My favorite part of last night was Chuck Todd scrambling for cover for the GOP, wondering "what if the bomber was a Russian ploy to misdirect and divide us?" That didn't pan out today.

Chuck Todd always reminds me of some knuckle-dragging idiot who gets busted by the cops on "COPS."
