And the answer is, Trump couldn't fake it, even for a few hours. His response to the bombs was to blame ... the media. Meanwhile the right-wing media went all "fake news" on a mass assassination attempt.

I'll be curious to see the GOP response to the assassination attempts against Soros, the Clintons, and Obama (because that's what they were). The smart thing would be to pretend to be horrified. But I'm not sure they can even manage to fake it.

Climate change is the eight hundred pound gorilla.

It does not go away.

There will be facts when it is too late to change.

The Republican party sees all others as socialists.

"Apple declined to comment on the president’s iPhones. None of them are completely secure and are vulnerable to hackers who could remotely break into the phones themselves.

But the calls made from the phones are intercepted as they travel through the cell towers, cables and switches that make up national and international cellphone networks. Calls made from any cellphone — iPhone, Android, an old-school Samsung flip phone — are vulnerable."

Apple claimed they had not provided a "back door" to their phones.

There must be a "front door" to run advertising scripts.

The telephone network is much more accessible than it should be.

The eavesdropper must be present on the local server and collecting the traffic.  It is much easier to to copy all the packets than to watch for single strings of packets from a specific client.
