Discussion: Death Toll Rises To 22 In Apparent Suicide Bomber Attack At UK Concert

This is not the headline of the article I just read. The headline was all about a 23-year old having been arrested. The article says no more than that about the arrest.

???

So is there an article that is actually about the arrest?

Information is very sketchy.

Check the BBC’s live feed for updates:

“This wicked ideology must be obliterated. And I mean completely obliterated,” [Trump] added.

As opposed to partially obliterated.

This all could have been prevented had all of those teenagers been armed, you know.

Thanks. I keep forgetting that TPM is not my source for breaking news. Went to RawStory, Politico, the dailys (koz and beast), etc. Apparently, there’s little to report, which is, IMO, what should have been reported.

Edited to add: It’s those darned journalism classes I took clouding my thinking. Way back then we were taught that headlines should be accurate descriptions of the story contents.

Or maybe I’m just grouchy this morning because I plan to spend the morning trying to over ride a stupid MS software that assumes to know what I want to do better than I do.

OT. Sigh. I wonder how much simpler life would be if MS wasn’t so good at marketing and other platforms had had a chance to develop. Linux anyone?

CNN is now reporting that ISIS is taking responsibility for this attack. I remember that last year, our so-called President said he had a plan to completely eradicate ISIS within two weeks.

Does anyone know what the current status of that foolproof plan might be?

It’s a fools plan.

Various recent news reports confirm that Donnie’s spastic hyperbole is a prime recruiting tool for ISIS, Al Qaeda, and other terror groups.

Well done, Donnie, just a tragedy that innocent kids had to pay with their lives from you playing president.

Well of course they did. Even if they didn’t do it, they’ll take credit for it.

Pardon me for stating the obvious, but it is truly moronic. What is he going to do? Insult and provoke the terrorists into surrendering?? Kudos to Maximus for good pointed post above!

It’s the morning after the attack and I had to look halfway down the page to find an article about the bombing. Unbelievable!

Yes, an odd response from our odd president. Instead of offering condolences and condemning the perpetrators, he basically lumped all terrorists together and blurted, “Hulk smash!”

What a fine, well-considered plan. [facepalm]
