Report is arrest in Florida. Suspect being taken to FBI HQ in Miami. DOJ press conference this afternoon.
More confirmation that people who have more than two bumper stickers are unhinged lunatics that should be locked away.
Frankly, two is pushing it.
Oh wow! You've been to the Carolina's, Mr. World Traveler?
Does it mean that all Americans who support Trump are unhinged? No.
But, for those posters who assumed it was a Democrat orchestrated plot to simulate a right wing whackjob with mid terms approaching, your assumptions were clearly wrong.

Like Osama did with the Dallas B.L.M. terrorist?
Yet, it would be refreshing if he said the kind of things any other US President would say:
1) Thank law enforcement and postal workers
2) Be thankful no one hurt
3) Caution the nation to not view the crimes as a R v D contest because by treating the incident in partisan manner, enables others.
4) Be mindful that many such acts are not political, but stem from mental illness.
5) Be kind to our neighbors
6) Remind the nation that we welcome rigorous debate on issues, but that it ought never become criminal or uncivil.

However, it is difficult for Trump to have the standing to deliver a credible message because of his rabble rousing history.
"I am pleased to inform you that law enforcement has apprehended the suspect and taken him into custody," Trump said in the East Room. "We must never allow political violence to take root in America."
The president said he had been briefed by the Justice Department about the effort earlier Friday morning, and he praised the U.S. Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies for the arrest. "It’s a needle in a haystack – how do you do this so quickly?"
"America must unify and we must show the world that we are united together in peace and love and harmony," Trump said.
“These terrorizing acts are despicable and have no place in our country. No place,” Trump said during a previously-scheduled event with a group of young black conservatives. “We must never allow political violence to take root in America.”
Trump has significant difficulties staying grounded re messaging.
It may be that he simply likes to be controversial because he thinks it is good TV or plays to his base. Or, it may be because he never truly believes what he says at first.
So, let us compare and contrast today's remarks with what he says on the topic between now and midterms.
how nice he was being.
The clear subtext is I have to read this shit off the prompter, but we all know how I really feel.
A despicable and disgusting figure.

Let’s guess the counter punch. No bombs exploded so STFU. Or, Trumpo is not responsible for what he says at rally’s. Or, MAGA bomber only attended one rally there are lots of people who have attended multiple rally’s and have only tortured animals or punched reporters - no correlation with Trumpo’s message.
you in.

He certainly gins up hatred and division. Calls his opponents evil and the media the enemy of the people. Praises an assault on a reporter.
Watch one of his rallies sometime. They are unbelievable.
I am not sure which side of the aisle is worse. Plenty of hatred to go around and I think we agree on this. There is no middle ground anymore and I am not sure what it will take to get back to a middle ground.
Granted it is the POTUS but the shit that has come out of the mouths of Pelosi, Waters, Booker, and several others is equally repulsive.
And the media has been on him since day one.
And for a POS like DeNiro to sat "F*ck Trump" on National TV......

With past addresses in New Jersey. Must be something in the water up there that leads to insanity.
He looks a bit like Hannibal Lecter...
Bankrupt in 2012. Bodybuilder on steroids.

Turns out this guy might not have been a super genius.
Soon we will find out whether he was some sort of hoaxer or just terrible at making bombs.
And we will know if Jakers, Alex Jones and Trump are right and this a false-flag operation orchestrated by the devious liberals. "Odds are" that is what is was, after all.
If this moron was truly trying to send the real things out - and he was known to law enforcement - this would be the second person who was on the freaking radar in Florida in a very short period of time that got to execute his plan (successful or not) with no one stopping him.

Had those things been real, this would not have been quick enough.
Personally I think they have done an outstanding job.
My concern is this guy being on a recent radar as a potential terrorist in Florida on the heels of the Cruz kid, a similarly flagged individual who appears to have done what they feared he'd do.
Guess they got actual warrants yesterday.
Just an educated guess.

Obvious false flag tactic. He may well have pretended to be a lifelong Republican and Trump supporter to throw us all off the trail. We're not buying it, fake news media!
His actions could only help the Left. So, those are the only two possibilities.

He had anti-Democrat stickers on his van so it must be a Trump voter.
Wonder if our boy has gone to any of the Orange rallies?
I made that up.

Too bad they allow nut cases out on the street to vote for anyone.
Perhaps not. I am not a social scientist. It’s a theory.
