BITCHFEST -- THE EXTREMISTS ON THE FAR LEFT AND FAR RIGHT

[Rootilda]

That's convincing.

I had his FL Divers License but decided against posting it...

I saw it but I don't have the vocabulary to express my appreciation of your amazing photoshop skills.

A press conference is expected shortly.

Surprised & delighted to hear Jeff Sessions label this political violence.

Attorney General Sessions' and FBI Director Wray's statements were straight-forward and professional.

Between them, they made it very clear that this was not a 'false flag', that it was indeed an act of political violence, and that (based on the the devices' composition) these were not hoax bombs.  

Wray warned the public to remain vigilant and aware that the bombs could be set off by certain types of heat and friction.

The charges thus far leveled against Sayoc have him facing up to 58 years in prison.

Fingerprints from one of the packages sent to Congresswoman Maxine Waters was the major forensic break that pointed LE to Sayoc.  

LE did a great job coordinating between various state, local, and federal agencies.

He was a male stripper at one point in his life.

That must have been quite some time ago Rootilda.

Sayoc almost looks like a different person in each of the photos I've seen of him over the years.

Here's his mugshot from his 2002 arrest.

[Duchess]

I think his bald picture makes him look like Orin Hatch.

I can see it............20 years from now and 20 pounds lighter.

Did you see Sayoc was the sole follower of two Facebook accounts, "Kill George Soros" and "Kill All Socialists"? 

Sayoc likely set up those pages, but the creator is anonymous and not confirmed as of yet.

He is the epitome of radical right-wing fanaticism and was literally advertising it.

[Fry Guy]

I am really pleasantly surprised. I hope they throw the book at him

No, I hadn't seen that but not surprised after seeing some of the images on his van.

I can't help but wonder if this break in the case is what kept trump up last night. Words matter, particularly coming from the POTUS, the climate he has helped to create has allowed these people to come out from under their rocks. I don't think it's a coincidence that all of those who had bombs mailed to them are people who have been openly critical of trump.

A twitter friend was conducting an experiment and asked people to post "Men are trash" and "Women are trash" in two separate posts on facebook. Both of my posts got bounced back pretty damn fast with a warning that I was breaking some rule...

And here we are with a "Kill George Soros" account floating around. Well done, you fucking trashbags at FB.

The bomber was arrested 45 minutes after Trump posted his false flag tweet and people are commenting on the likelihood that he was briefed on the pending arrest and chose to ignore it to continue feeding his flock or he simply wasn't paying attention. Either option is fucking horrifying.

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't care much for Facebook and very rarely go there. So, I'm ignorant about FB's filters and flags.

Maybe Sayoc's pages weren't flagged because the words in the account names were meshed?  

There were also several on his Facebook pages critical of George Soros, the liberal philanthropist who also was targeted with one of the package bombs earlier this week. The account handles were equally ominous — “Killgeorge Soros” and “Killall Socialist.”    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/mai...bs-n924856

LE has scoured all his social media and found that the misspellings in the mailing addresses on the bomb parcels match how Sayoc misspelled the names of Trump's verbal targets when Sayoc ranted against them on-line.

There's so much evidence against Sayoc and his motive is pretty effin' obvious.  He's going down hard.

[Rootilda]

I keep getting distracted by the small details. He's claimed to be Seminole (he's not) and people are saying he's Filipino because of his last name. I'm sorry but he looks like a really low class Italian guy with wannabe mob connections.

I think trump was briefed last night by the FBI and he continued to spew his vile comments. He's all about keeping his base jacked up. He's such a fucked up individual that I believe he's pleased that he has such a loyal follower, one who heard his whistles.

That old bastard didn't like the headlines about the bombs/bomber. He wanted the attention to be on the big, scary caravan.

[Rootilda]

The big scary caravan that's a thousand miles away and most of the people in it are on foot yet he's already mobilized the military to "protect" our border. I'd love to know how the military folks assigned to this ridiculous task feel about this.

They will arrive just before midterms and you would be right that they could not possibly get here by then if just on foot.
I think Military people are used to protecting the country and I think the situation is different to the normal assignments but the end objective not as far removed.

All of those exhausted, hungry people are terrifying.

I can see that too.


Here's some updated background on Sayoc:
Sayoc is the manager of a catering company in Hallandale Beach called Native American Catering & Vending, according to business records.  

Although a sticker on Sayoc’s van reads “Native Americans For Trump” and his Twitter feed includes several references to the Seminole Tribe, Seminole spokesman Gary Bitner said there are no records of Sayoc having ever been a member of the tribe.

According to Ancestry.com, Sayoc’s father immigrated to the U.S. from the Philippines and was naturalized in 1970 in North Miami Beach.  Cesar Sayoc was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in Miami.  

Perhaps he was lying about his Native American heritage because he figured it would help him with his catering/vending business? Or, maybe his mom is Native American?  

Anyway, he registered a second Hallandale Beach company, VER TECH AG, in July. Sayoc’s LinkedIn page says he’s also a promoter, booking agent and choreographer for burlesque and male strip shows.

The Philippines are a hodgepodge of invader genes so there's no set "look" but of all the Filipinos I've known, none of them looked anything like that, half or not. I'd love to see a photo of his father.

[Rootilda]

Well, maybe.  I'm prejudice though, I think the people of the Philippines are generally very good looking AND friendly, helpful people.  I don't want this guy associated with them.

[HairOfTheDog]

Sayoc looks Filipino to me in some pics, like the below yearbook photo and the photo you posted above,  and not so much in others.  


He really looks like different people in different photos, even photos taken close in time.  It's kind of strange.

Anyhow, I haven't seen a picture of his father or other family members in the news coverage.

I did hear that Sayoc was not cooperating with police as of about an hour ago.  Hopefully he'll start talking soon so LE can track down any additional bombs that may be out there.
