During that horrible presser he said it was a "legal question" as to whether it was an act of terror or murder, who knows? he said. When asked if it was a terror attack.

POS racist.

Ironically, he's virtually ensuring the (R)s won't get a thing accomplished, legislatively at least. So there's that.

41. Bannon Trump's right hand man......
Thu Aug 17, 2017, 03:12 PM

Stephen Bannon, President Trump’s chief political strategist and, after Trump, the most powerful man in Washington, once declared proudly: “I am a Leninist.” He was talking to a New York university academic who had written extensively on communism and the former Soviet Union. “What on earth do you mean?” the professor asked him. “Lenin wanted to destroy the state and that’s my goal too,” replied Bannon. “I want to bring everything crashing down and destroy all of today’s establishment.”

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/feb/06/lenin-white-house-steve-bannon

And before Trump even....Grover Norquist: My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.

Destroying the government is a long term cherished goal of the republican party. Trump is their bestest destroyer yet next to that bastard Rayguns.

Things start to make sense. So the REAL goal is to have so much chaos, confusion and mayhem going on that we can't figure what is going on. Disrupt the NORMAL order of things. Have a man in the office of President who is so far from what we expect in comportment and demeanor that we have no idea which way to turn. Maybe if we think about it in that way, it wil start to make sense and we can figure out what needs to happen.

Speed up the Russia investigation. Start impeachment procedures or Article 25, take your pick. Maybe both, just as insurance. But start taking this country back and not allowing things to go one more day in the hands of tRump, Putin, Bannon, etc.

This has got to stop. The time for hand wringing is over. Demand that the powers that can rid us of this cancer start applying the remedy.

said about shrinking government down and then drowning it in a tub.

Unfortunately, the GOP has more than a few that agree with that sentiment.

How can he condemn this as a terrorist attack when he doesn't have all the facts? Wasn't that his reasoning for not calling the Charlottesville car attack a terrorist attack?

Oops. I forgot. There are different rules applied to white males spouting racism.

When it happens a couple of hundred miles from New York to Virginia, and he needs to study the facts for two days.

When it happens four thousand miles away in Catalunya, he knows right away that it's a terror attack.

Unless Trump can read and understand "Això ha de ser la mateixa cosa*," someone is pulling his strings.

Maybe we'll soon find out who it is. Maybe Johannes Schlüter is back at his old job?
