(25,861 posts)I open up DU, this is the first thread on the Latest Threads page and there is zero context. I can make a few guesses, but (and I know, this doesn't seem right to some of you) we don't all have the TV on 24/7, and certainly not tuned to the same channel as any given DUer.
Not that this matters too much, but I don't even have a TV, which means I'm not hooked into the wall-to-wall coverage of whatever is the hot story of the hour. Lucky me.

(82,849 posts)Over the past several days, 12 mail bombs have been intercepted by postal inspectors and the FBI, each of them addressed to a prominent critic of Donald J. Trump. Donald J. Trump is currently the president of the United States. Many of the critics have been Democrats, like Hillary and Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden. Bill Clinton was the 42nd president of the United States, and Hillary Clinton is his wife. She, too, ran for president. Barack Obama was the 44th president of the United States, and Joe Biden was vice president under Obama.
While details are hard to come by, there have been credible reports that the suspect lives in Florida, where many of the mail bombs may have originated, and a van has been impounded, which appears to have been covered in stickers and photos indicating the van's owner may be a very dedicated supporter of Donald J. Trump, the current president of the United States. The original post is anticipating that the suspect may have a recent computer usage history that will further incriminate him and show him to be not just dedicated, but fanatical, in his support for Donald J. Trump, the current president of the United States.
I hope that clears up some of the confusion.

(25,861 posts)I was quite aware of the mailed bombs, because even though I don't have a TV I get the paper on a daily basis and go to websites like DU. It's just that a totally contextless OP -- which referenced absolutely NOTHING --is highly annoying and happens far too often here.
I figured it was about the bomber, but the assumption that everyone else knows exactly what is the subject is foolish. Heck, I could post contextless threads about other things I'm interested in and follow closely, and maybe then people here would understand that problem.
