1. Trump's enemies list.

2. Hundreds... He was encouraged by White House rhetoric and Twitter not sanctioning him

3. wonder how far he would have gotten down the list before he corrected his mistakes and the bombs

started killing folks

[ck4829]

4. Maybe it was also more calculated than that

Either getting courage to send a real bomb if he wasn't caught and/or hoping enough fake ones go through that everyone else would let their guard down so we'd have a mailroom with people in it chuckling about another fake bomb when that one wasn't fake at all.

This looks like it was a dry run.

6. I think he had bad blueprints...

They were meant to go off
A dry run would have started at the bottom of the list

8. Based on the reporting, I think the duds were real but incompetently made.

Thankfully he is an idiot. It would have been much, much uglier if he knew what he was doing.

5. Where did he get the money for this and where was he building these bombs?

7. excellent questions

hope they get answered.

10. I think we will eventually find out that Russia had something to do with it.

I don't mean that Putin was directly paying this loser Sayoc.

But given how the memes Sayoc posted online and put on his van come straight from Russian troll farm sites, I bet some Russian operatives living and working in the US were throwing a few hundred bucks at this dim wit every once in a while.

9. If you're a 56 yr old loser.....

living out of your van, just the postage at $3-4 per pkg. would be bad enough. The cost of the contents would soon become problematic. So yeah, who's paying for this?

[skip fox]

11. Obviously Soros.

12. I would have thought he'd start with less important people, and move up to the VIP's after proving

the plan worked.

Besides, doesn't everyone know that Congress and the President / former Presidents have their mail screened? This whole plot doesn't make sense to me.
