wtg twitter

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

awaiting the Grifter's tweet congratulating law enforcement for stopping "bombs"

Saw somebody call him the Magabomber -- I hope that name sticks.

^^^

I like Ted Chudzinki personally

can you be a "bomber" if none of your bombs went off though

xp lol

#magabomber is the one

MAGAbomber
MAGAbomber
MAGAbomber
MAGAbomber

i could tell you why it should be MAGAbomber, but first we have to meet at a hipster coffeeshop

Saw somebody call him the Magabomber

and his van the maga mystery machine

omg mookie

I’m still lolling at a) the left being the only terrorists and yet b) they can’t build bombs that explode

ok maga mystery machine is incredible

I live in a van down by the twitter

A lawsuit in which Sayoc was deposed said he had been a manager at a strip club called Stir Crazy for 35 years. In that same deposition, Sayoc claimed he was also a pro wrestler, a Chippendales dancer, a professional soccer player in Milan, and an arena football player in Arizona.

MAGA Mike

checks out

he's Zelig, or Max from Rushmore all grown up

MAGAbomber is too perfect

can you be a "bomber" if none of your bombs went off though

... yet.

yeah let's hope there aren't more out there

These guys are serving almost 200 years and none of their bombs went off...

hopefully he won't inspire other MAGAbombers. sometimes pure incompetence can prompt other people to step in and show how it's done

stealing from FB: "caught red-hatted"

Is it too early to call a presidential pardon? Because, really, he's being treated so unfairly. Sad!

(xp) LOL

Underwear and Shoe Bombers didn't detonate anything either. Nicknames go to intent, apparently...

Something that's maybe worth pointing out (which I believe someone referenced upthread): these attempts at political assassination (and, however inept the attempt, let's call it what it is) often wind up having apolitical motives (see: Reagan, Wallace, etc.)...buuuut that really doesn't seem to be the case here at all, even if the dude is mentally ill. This was a fairly coherent response to Trump's incoherent calls for violent action.

“I’d like to begin today’s remarks by providing an update on the packages and devices that have been mailed to high-profile figures throughout our country and a media organization,” Trump said, before further confirming that the suspect had been apprehended. He did not mention that the devices were almost exclusively sent to prominent critics of his administration.

i'm sure if the bombs were sent to entirely right wing politicians and fox news, he would have described it as "high-profile figures" and "a media organization"

Heck, I'm impressed he confirmed this was real at all and that the suspect exists.

conspiracy theorists already suspicious about the lack of vandalism on the van and that fact that the stickers aren't faded from being out in the elements in sunny Florida.

Obama speaking in Wisconsin right now, mentioned Mitch McConnell and the crowd started booing and he brought back "Don't boo, VOTE!"

really refreshing to hear him speak

the official Sayok complaint: https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5022026/Attachment-1-1.pdf

weird detail:

Each of the 13 IEDs was packaged in a tancolored
manila envelope lined with bubble wrap. Each was stamped
with approximately six self-adhesive postage stamps each bearing
a picture of an American flag. Each envelope listed a return
sender of “DEBBIE WASSERMAN SHULTZ” at a particular address in
Florida (“Schultz Office-1”). Each envelope misspelled “Florida”
in the Schultz Office-1 return address as “FLORIDS” rather than
“FLORIDA.” The return sender and the target-recipient listed on
each envelope was typed in black ink on white paper.

i can understanding misspelling Schultz, but...FLORIDS?

that's just a fundamental misunderstanding of the letter S

Was it typed?

A is right next to S on a QWERTY keyboard

Looks like he probably used a WHARRGARBL keybaord

His fingers were probably slippery from the baby oil he'd just been using in his stripping routine.
