He’s such an ass. He will find a way to make this Merkel’s fault (because he’s pissed off she got the good publicity from their meeting) and then he’ll blame “the Muslims” before he has any info on what happened. Or vice versa.

So the guy didn’t even kill anyone?
Less deadly then a toddler in the USA.

Considering this latest tragedy I ask myself:

Who represents a greater threat to me personally: lone nut terrorists or the nut in the White House?

So sorry.
Also sorry we do not have a president that did not offer assistance if needed.
But it’s not about him, so until his daughter tells him he should do or say something nothing will happen.

EVERYBODY PANIC, EVERYBODY PANIC!!!

That should pretty much sum it all up, right?

friends in London are telling me based on local reports that one of the people he hit with the car died, but i haven’t seen it confirmed yet online. but you’re still correct.

Trump’s Foreign Policy, in one dozen words:

When in danger
Or in doubt,
Run in circles,
scream and shout.

My fear is that step two is ‘start blowing things up indiscriminately.’

That probably summed it up for the people whose day was interrupted by a homicidal gunman.

EDIT: I guess he didn’t have a gun, but a knife. My sentiment remains the same.

“I was wondering what the hell was going on and I saw dozens of panicked people running down the street. The first stream was around 30 people and the second stream was 70 people. It looked like they were running for their lives.”

I expect trump to take some sort of personal credit out of this.

Did you notice it was one casualty with the weapon of choice a knife? In this country the same incident would involve a semi automatic rifle and forty casualties. Somewhere in this report is a less on for us.

A knife and a car, but you’re correct about the semiautomatic rifle.

Interesting that there was some effort to link this to the funeral of Martin McGuinness, former IRA extremist who later helped achieve peace with the Protestant Ulstermen. One wonders why no one has therefore connected this deplorable incident to ISIS…was the assailant a white fellow?
