I haven't posted in this thread for ages, because nothing we say can improve our lot while Trump is still in power.
But after reading the above I couldn't resist. If he ever pulled his head out of his arse, he might pause to think about which country iPhones come from! Hint: it ain't the US of A.

The Washington Post - Trump shows little interest in uniting the nation during crises
Standing in the White House’s ornate East Wing, the president expressed annoyance that at least 13 bombs sent to Democrats and a news organization that Trump had long demonized had taken the spotlight from his Medicare drug prices announcement the day before.
He told the black audience he was addressing that the Democratic Party has betrayed them.
He laughed along as some in the crowd chanted “Fake News!”
And he echoed a chant of “Lock him up!” about liberal philanthropist George Soros, one of this week’s bomb targets.
Ten days before the Nov. 6 elections and facing a host of controversies and crises, Trump has not merely struggled to unify the country - he has shown little interest in trying.

I was just watching Anderson Cooper on CNN interviewing the bomber's family lawyer. The guy was living in a van. He has the maturity of a 14 year-old and probably the intellectual development of someone half that age. He seems to worship Trump. He has a long history of criminal convictions for relatively minor stuff. He is probably easily influenced. The lawyer thinks others may have steered him. Apparently he was great as a pizza delivery guy. This is the quality of people drawn to Trump. Please dear god let the democrats sweep the mid-terms.

No point in appealing to him - he's a registered Republican according to you-know-who.
Fred99: It looks like the MAGA bomber was a middle aged male, great patriot, drives a white van plastered with pro Trump stickers and you know, the "freedom of speech" ones where you're allowed to display images of "lock her up" Hillary etc shown in the crosshairs of gunsights.

Republicans are doing so well in early voting, and at the polls, and now this 'Bomb' stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows - news not talking politics. Very unfortunate, what is going on. Republicans, go out and vote!

Wikipedia summary: Sayoc's former boss at a pizzeria where he made deliveries said on CNN that he called himself a white supremacist who wanted to "purify society" and that "he was anti-gay, anti-black, anti-Jewish, you name it". She also said he told her she would "burn in Hell" for being a lesbian and that she only allowed him to work at night because of the stickers on his van. She then said he quit the pizzeria job when he became a long haul trucker.
How's Trump going to blame the victims of the synagogue shooting?
He's already started:
When asked about whether the nation's gun laws should be changed, Trump said the synagogue should have had armed security there.
"You want protection, and they didn’t have any protection, they had a maniac walk in," Trump said. "The results could have been much better."
Two completely unrelated things I learned today. First, emojis are nothing new. Apparently they were invented in 1879. To speed things up, telegraph operators developed numeric representations for different standard phrases. One I happen to know from my ham radio days is 88. I didn't know how it came about, though.
According to the Washington Post, 88 also has special significance to neo-nazis. To them it stands for 'heil hitler'. Apparently that's what it meant to the hateful type who shot up the synagogue.
I find that incredibly sad. To me it always meant 'love and kisses'. The standards of discourse sure have gone down a lot.
