I have no doubt that it is a terrorist attack.  And it should be called as such.

But he was very slow to the trigger this weekend, and I'm just guessing he won't be so slow on this event.  Because ... mooooslums

 

 

He must be sleeping in today.

You know it's killing him after talking about how he didn't respond quickly this weekend because he always waits for the facts. 

That or ivanka changed his password.

That would make a damn fine topic.

Guess Trump's Twitter Password.

Remember, he likes to take his time and wait for all the facts to get in. 

[red321]

Apparently the facts are in.

Of course:  http://time.com/4235405/donald-trump-pig-blood-muslims-story/

(I know ... Time!)

 

Some reports do say that Pershing was engaged in burying Muslims with pigs or throwing pig's blood on them. According to the History News Network, a Chicago Daily Tribune article from 1927 describes Pershing sprinkling prisoners with pig's blood, then setting them free to warn others of being doused with the blood. "Those drops of porcine gore proved more powerful than bullets," the article wrote.

Christopher Capozzola, a history professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, also cited an incident in which Pershing brought a pig's head to a ceasefire negotiation with a Muslim leader.

"So yes, there were deliberate efforts to offend Muslim Filipinos' religious sensibilities," Capozzola told TIME. "And yes, there was large-scale violence against their communities. But I know of no event like the one that Mr. Trump describes."

Isn't some of the Pershing and Muslims in the Philippines "legend" what could easily be described a large scale collective punishment ?

Damn, you beat me to it. I came here to say this. haha Really, we shouldn't be so quick to condemn ISIS. There were bad people on both sides of this terrorist attack, and good people as well. /s

More than that. Per Trump:
"They were having terrorism problems, just like we do. And he caught 50 terrorists who did tremendous damage and killed many people. And he took the 50 terrorists, and he took 50 men and he dipped 50 bullets in pigs’ blood — you heard that, right? He took 50 bullets, and he dipped them in pigs’ blood. And he had his men load his rifles, and he lined up the 50 people, and they shot 49 of those people. And the 50th person, he said: You go back to your people, and you tell them what happened. And for 25 years, there wasn’t a problem. Okay? Twenty-five years, there wasn’t a problem."

P.S. Best quote of the above article:
"And of course while observant Muslims avoid eating pork products, they’re not vampires who can only be killed by special bullets."

So! We can conclude that Trumps response to Muslim terrorists overseas is immediate and based on rumors about pig blood in the Philippines (you know, like rational world leaders do), and his reaction to Nazis at home is careful, reserved statements. But nah, I'm sure this is some sort of crazy coincidence. Or maybe its Hillary's fault or something!

Keep drinking that kool aid. You never once brought up nazis or nazi sympathizers on this site until liberal politicians decided to make it a talking point. 

It wasn't much of a talking point until last weekend.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the guys changing "Jews will not replace us," and then running through a crowd with a car, kinda made it a talking point...

[krAbs]

I like this. This feels like an old school Trump campaign style controversy. I almost miss those.

Trump should unleash an army of pigs against ISIS and create his own pigs blood legacy like Pershing.
