Ok, today terrorist attack in NYC is now firmly on Trump's watch.

Understanding not all details are in, but it has happened here in the states and more than likely was terrorist related. Trump has said it would never happen under his watch, because he know how to stop them. What happen, Mr. Trump? It did happen and it happened in your home town. So, how will you and your spin masters spin this? You criticized past president of the US and other countries, saying that you could handle this in a better way. It not easy and your words can't fix this, your bully ways won't fix this, your wall or your travel bans won't fix this. Your words and actions have contributed to these attacks.

"Guns are good will be that message. " WHO would make that leap while 8 ppl have been mowed down/killed and more injured... on a bike path going about their business?

Drove down a bike path for seven blocks and rammed into a small school bus.
So far eight dead.

Considering our broken healthcare system and the mental state of our country it has to be more than someone mowing down bikers.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump decides to bomb some brown people to break the indictment news cycle.

12. The driver is a terrorist who wanted police to kill him.

He drove the wrong way for 20 BLOCKS down a bike path and drove over and killed at least 8 bikers and pedestrians. He has a rental truck, was carrying two fake guns and waving them around (hoping to get shot and be a martyr). The police shot him in the abdomen and he survived (too bad for him) and was yelling Arabic slogans. NYC has cameras all over and the citizens are well trained to "run, hide, fight, talk" in that order. He didn't need money, bomb building training and materials, couldn't accidental blow himself up, didn't have to do much "homework" on how to do this, could do it by himself, was a young man. All of that is the description of this "new" form of terrorism.

the cops didn't kill him.

To paraphrase Pink Floyd, he's traded a walk-on part in a holy war for a lead role in a cage.

Cannot be blamed on him. This requires a coordinated effort at the city, state and federal levels. Using your logic, you might as well be blaming de Blasio and Cuomo.

The right attacks 24/7/365 and we just sit back and take the beatings like good little democrats.

FUCK THAT SHIT!

If Hillary was President right now the full force of the reich wing universe would be screaming in unison that ITS HER FAULT!

So I will say each and every terror attack in the USA since the Russian shitstain took office is HIS FAULT!!
