Donald Trump uses attack in UK to push his politician agenda, and to attack London's mayor.

Fears of new terror attack after van 'mows down 20 people' on London Bridge...

— DRUDGE REPORT (@DRUDGE_REPORT) June 3, 2017

Trump retweeted this, right before he went on his Twitter tirade.

We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 3, 2017

To be clear the three suspects, all dead now, have not yet been identified.

So there is no evidence that they were immigrants, or that a travel ban would have had any impact.

Whatever the United States can do to help out in London and the U. K., we will be there - WE ARE WITH YOU. GOD BLESS!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 3, 2017

This is the most reasonable tweet that Trump sent. Might have been best if he had stopped right here.

We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don't get smart it will only get worse

Of course in Trump's eyes being "politically correct" is seen as a sign of weakness.

At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2017

I guess in Trump's mind offering to help means misrepresenting the words of the Mayor of the city that just got attacked and then attempting to shame him publicly.

Courtesy of The Guardian:  

The mayor, Sadiq Khan, did not use the phrase “no reason to be alarmed” in a statement overnight or when he spoke in a television interview earlier on Sunday. 

In the statement, Khan said “Metropolitan police are responding to the horrific terrorist attack at London Bridge and Borough Market,” and added: “My thoughts are with everyone affected, and I’d like to thank the brave men and women of our emergency services who were first on the scene and will be working throughout the night. 

“This was a deliberate and cowardly attack on innocent Londoners and visitors to our city enjoying their Saturday night,” he said. “I condemn it in the strongest possible terms. There is no justification whatsoever for such barbaric acts.”

I guess because the mayor did not attempt to cause undue panic, and talked in complete sentences, Trump somehow found fault with him.

But wait, there's more.

Do you notice we are not having a gun debate right now? That's because they used knives and a truck!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2017

Not having a gun debate because England has some pretty serious gun control laws in place.

Does Trump really believe that if these killers had been able to get access to firearms they would not have used those in the attack?

And for fuck's sake why is he bringing that up at a time like this?

Author J.K Rowling had a fairly perfect response.

It's called 'leadership', Donald. The terrorists were dead 8 minutes after police got the call. If we need an alarmist blowhard, we'll call. https://t.co/NUiy9j4fBt

Well since the guy sitting in the White House does not know how to do this properly just let me say that as an American citizen my heart goes out to the victims injured and killed in this attack, and that I hope the people of London find some solace in the good will that is pouring into their country from every part of the world NOT led by a selfish orange tinged asshole.

Somebody at the Huffington Post threw together a tweet of what a group of Donald Trump's military advisers might look like, and it is the most unsettling photo of the day.

You know I think the part that really troubles me about this is that it is probably not that far off from the truth.

So, can you name the morons, losers, and incompetents gathered in this room?

I think I have all but two.

Senator Al Franken reads his mean tweets after making public his support of Hillary Clinton.

I am going to go out on a limb and suggest that those are the only ones that Franken can read on the air.

If the responses he receives are anything like the ones we receive here, I bet there are hundreds that are too disgusting and misogynist to ever see the light of day.

Personally I have a lot of faith in Senator Franken, his support of Hillary is just one more reason to believe that I am on the right side in this debate.

Donald Trump under fire for claiming that he saw "thousands and thousands" of Muslims in New Jersey cheering the 9-11 attacks. Spoiler alert: He didn't!

Courtesy of Business Insider:  

Donald Trump claims that "thousands" of people in New Jersey were "cheering" amid the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on US soil. 

In an interview on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday, Trump doubled down on his assertion that he saw people in New Jersey — where the real-estate mogul claims there are "large Arab populations" — cheering as the World Trade Center came down. 

"There were people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey, where you have large Arab populations. They were cheering as the World Trade Center came down," Trump said on Sunday. "I know it might be not politically correct for you to talk about it, but there were people cheering as that building came down — as those buildings came down. And that tells you something. It was well-covered at the time."

Well if you watched cable news yesterday you saw this "fact" refuted multiple times, by multiple sources:

Despite Trump's insistence that he saw such celebrations, political fact-checkers across the board have found little to no evidence of any public celebrations after the attacks. 

PolitiFact noted that there were several media reports of police inquiries into individuals who were suspected of celebrating the attacks in Jersey City and nearby Paterson, but there is no evidence that these investigations revealed any actual celebrations or resulted in any convictions. 

"This defies basic logic," PolitiFact's Lauren Carroll wrote in a "Pants on Fire" ruling.

When I first heard the story I immediately went to Snopes where conspiracy theories and bullshit lies are usually laid to rest.

Snopes did a deep dive, and really tried to get to the source of Trump's misinformation, which seemed to stem from early rumors after the towers fell, that turned out to be false. 

However not only does Trump seem impervious to facts, he is also demanded in apology from those calling him out on his BS.

Via @washingtonpost 9/18/01. I want an apology! Many people have tweeted that I am right! https://t.co/CpsMxs54qv pic.twitter.com/wrDEhXJlvR

You might notice that the portion which is quoted in the tweet above says the words "allegedly." That is because their was nothing to the allegations.

At this point I think we have to take notice of the fact that according to polling the three top contenders for the GOP nomination, Trump, Carson, and Cruz, are all habitual liars who seem to have a specific allergy to facts.

Not exactly good news for the Republican party.

Nailed it! Update with pictures.

The above tweet was posted in the #TweetLikePalin thread last night.

I think it is pretty clear that the majority of people in this country have her completely figured out. Don't you?

And the ONLY people who are still pretending that Palin has any future in politics or punditry, are those in her family, and those who stand to benefit when people write or talk about her.

Update: By the way I have received a number of photos of Palin from her appearance  yesterday at the Indianapolis Speedway. This seems to be the appropriate place to share them.

Looks like she is getting to the point where not even wigs and high definition makeup can cover the ugliness within.
