Oh, FFS, of course he did.

He also blames them for the sun rising in the east, the rain in Spain, little green apples, the Civil War, the Middle Ages, and, lest we forget, the fall of the Roman Empire…

You know, “SOME SAY” (or the ubiquitous “I HEARD” or “I SAW ON THE INTERNET”) that these bombs are “false flag” attacks by Trump Supporters to drum up support for him among the cowardly sheep.
And my crazy Uncle already sent me a Facebook post that proves, PROVES I TELL YOU! that it was all done on the direct orders of Hillary Clinton in support of ISIS by her Gay, Nubian, UN, FEMA shock troops working for ACORN!!!

I would like to offer a careful, measured response to this nonsense; GO FUCK YOURSELF. Sorry, my anger overcame my natural politeness. In the immortal words of Daffy Duck, “You’re despicable!”

The only way I can win is by appealing to racists, bigots, xenophobes and scaring the rest into voting for me.

Christie: I am not aware of any activity by anyone and hence I share no blame as governor of NJ of potential terrorist activity that happened in NJ.

Same message different day. And the media will cover this ad nauseum and then wonder why people are so fearful

I’m waiting for Trump to inadvertently tweet how disappointed he is that it wasn’t worse, while berating law enforcement for having already identified the perpetrator. You know he’s just itching for a truly devastating incident so he can fire up even fiercer racist rants for his legions of (deplorable) fans.

It must keep him up at night. Well, that and the self-medicating some have suggested he partakes.

Hofstadter’s good old paranoid style. Everything, including the lack of evidence, proves you’re right. Hard to argue with. And you can’t shoot these crazy uncles, just to shut them up, and not hear about it at Thanksgiving.

This name-calling shit they engage in is the most bizarre part of it all…as if there’s some sort of magic in your phraseology. “No no…you have to refer to them in a manner that’s deliberately insulting to all Muslims or those drones won’t work right and those 10,000 air strike sorties get magically erased.”

Let’s be clear here, VERY CLEAR: the only thing we could be doing that we’re not doing already, and which Trump is clearly suggesting we should be doing, is (a) creating a fascist state here at home and (b) putting thousands and thousands of boots on the ground in another ground war in Iraq and the surrounding area. Whoever is directing Clinton’s messaging needs, at the very least, to get on top of drawing that picture in stark detail. Trump is talking about another Middle East ground war, thousands of dead Americans, trillions of wasted dollars and yet again no progress in the arena. Make him defend himself against that characterization. Make him barf excuses and attempt to explain it away.

George Soros owns stock in pressure cooker manufacturing!!!

And on the contrary, Trump is responsible for over-blowing the threat of ISIS. This weekend we saw a failed attempt by an alleged dopey loser using pressure cookers and a maniac with a knife. Nobody was killed. These are not Marvel Super Villains.

Listening to Trump you’d think our Republic will crumble at the hands of these nefarious lone wolfs. Sure they are dangerous. Yes, it’s likely there will be more attacks and more people will be killed or injured. But our country is the home of the Brave, not the cowardly, as Trump would have us believe. We’ve faced adversity before, ISIS is not Nazi Germany. Trump would have his paranoia seep out into the American psyche. He’s a blight on everything we are. He needs to be rebuked.

Does minimizing mean fewer deaths under Obama than under dubya?

STFU Donny. No one is “minimizing” the ISIS threat, they’re just not getting their knickers twisted in fear and hysterically over-reacting. Because that worked so well after 9/11.

No wonder New York doesn’t like you.

“When the White House says we are in a ‘narrative fight’ against ISIS just days after a series of apparent terror attacks on U.S. soil we should all be very concerned,” spokesman Jason Miller said in the statement, describing it as “diminishing the threat” posed by terrorist attacks and providing “another reminder that we need new leadership in the fight against radical Islamic terrorism.”

they really need to fix that page

They reportedly have an awesome website and yet the sky is supposedly falling

Trump and ISIS working together to lure the US into another ground war in the Middle East.

It’s rather reminiscent of the way Hamas and Likud worked together to ensure that the Oslo peace accords wouldn’t be implemented after the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. Very effective.

grotesque: adjective: very strange or ugly in a way that is not normal or natural: extremely different from what is expected or usual

When will Deferment Don go to the Middle East and lead our Troops to victory?
Has he ever seen or visited our wounded warriors?
If he was a man,which he will never be,he would visit a war zone,talk to our troops,and go out on one patrol.
