The degree to which Trump desperately WANTS terrorist attacks to be happening should frighten every American who loves liberty.

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. Putin and Trump benefit

It serves their purposes.

[Salviati]

3. and their overractions serve the interests of the terrorists.

To drive people into the arms of radacalism and extremism. They are each others greatest allies in the spread of hatred and violence.

[mopinko]

5. theresa may happy, ya suppose?

[Warpy]

8. No, Tories have been in charge for years

while Labour sorted out whether they were going to be the Tory-lite party of Blair or go back to being the Labour Party under Corbyn. That this shit keeps happening is being laid at the feet of the party in power, the Tory Party.

That's why Labour is gaining in the polls.

May thought the special election would be a slam-dunk for the Tories. I imagine she's kicking herself just about now.

15. But doesn't it hike up

...the fear she stokes against refugees and immigrants? She encourages xenophobia, paranoia and nationalism uber alles. Can't imagine this doesn't help her on the eve of the election. No?

[Warpy]

16. The Tories, despite all their bone headed flaws, are not the racist party

You are thinking of the fascist UKIP party, and they will undoubtedly pick up seats this time.

23. Intereresting---I'm still getting

...informed about all this and am not clear how to see her (May).

But I'm thinking of how she wanted the UK to accept no more Syrian refugees and articles like this in the Guardian:

10. Yup. It's tragic. nt

[Ilsa]

19. Putin has used terrorism as false flag ops.

It sesms possible he could have financed this event if it meant an election outcome that favors his agenda.

[Kablooie]

2. He needs his reichstag fire.

And I fully expect some terror related disaster may well occur soon.

I.hope the media calls it for what it is and not what trump says it is.

[MrPurple]

20. It likely won't be staged, but when a naturally occurring event happens

there's no doubt how Trump will abuse it. He needs take some serious public hits in the Russia investigations before that happens.

[Doreen]

4. I think it was Sweden but remember when trump

was talking about a bombing there and one had not even happened? Then a few days later one actually happened. Does anyone think trump might have something to do with it? I mean it sounds awfully suspicious that he spoke of it before it happened. He seems to relish it when there are terror attacks. He makes every single one into his political campaign strategy. I sometimes get an odd feeling he helps plan these....maybe I am just paranoid about the president.

[zentrum]

13. That's a good point.

Creepy.

[Thomas Hurt]

14. hmm, the attack in Sweden that occured after Trump lied was not terrorism it was drug related.

[Doreen]

18. Ahh, I did not hear that part.

It still makes you think though.

[LOL Lib]

6. If all else fails they just make up terror attacks.

Bowling Green....NEVER FORGET

[aeromanKC]

7. And the Media too

Jesus, the way the Media have been pumping this London event today is sickening. Non stop coverage all day. The American Domestic Terrorist slashings last week in the name of MAGA was more of a story than this!!

Fear Fear Fear Fear (But no worries on Alt Right Christian whackadoodles slashing people in the name of MAGA!!)

[babylonsister]

11. This London event happened fairly late today. and was/is

unfolding.

I agree about the "American Domestic Terrorist slashings".

[mountain grammy]

9. 9 months from W's inauguration to 9/11

I think they dropped the ball, ignored warning signs, too busy gutting abortion rights among other things.

this bunch is even worse. Something terrible is going to happen.

[SCVDem]

12. I got home at 5

Turned on MSNBC and despite all the talking, I still did not have the basic facts of what happened.

I should have turned to the local news

[xxqqqzme]

17. Been saying this for two months

I do not trust king con. Am expecting something to happen so he can get his supporters outraged.

[Lyricalinklines]

21. I feel the same. Opportunistic for division and encourage his base to stifle those...

...stifle those not of his base. It's sickening how the administration and majority party are working fake news to incite violence on its own citizens. I cannot imagine working in any capacity for them. They eat their own in time.

[Scurrilous]

22. K&R

[onecent]

24. This does frighten me. HE FRIGHTENS ME!!!
