Farmer77 Posted March 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I've made this point before, the trend continues. Why Has Trump Been Silent on the Texas Bombings? Quote In spite of the gruesome deaths, Trump’s administration has yet to say a word about the triple bombings in Texas. In fact, radio silence from his presidency contrasts starkly with the rash and immediate responses Trump personally tweeted when it came to incidents like the ISIS-linked Oct. 31 attack in New York City. Right after the attack, Trump called for “extreme vetting” against immigrants. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he had to do is a simple nod of condolence and assurance of justice. That would be the right thing to do. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we all need water. On another note, your buddy wants to be able to execute anyone he can plant enough drugs on. He also wants to take yer guns. No due process necessary. That should alarm you, if having no power and water doesn't. Edited March 17, 2018 by ChaosRose 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlitterRose Posted March 17, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 17, 2018 It has always been my contention that Trump just uses racism. In reality, he seems indifferent to the plight of any non-billionaire. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite an accomplishment in itself. It's getting rather annoying that literally anything ever posted anywhere ever that is in the least bit anti-Trump is labeled as 'biased'. Do people even know how convenient that kind of argumentation is? It means that you can never have any articles (or even objective facts within articles) that go against your political candidate, because literally anything anti-whoever can be quickly dismissed as 'biased reporting'. Just shout 'fake news' at anything you don't like. No need for any rational argument here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Vlad's overall point is this site has generally speaking been pro Trump since the start of the election. Hell there was a while where there were just a couple of us posting anything anti trump at all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithisco Posted March 17, 2018 #20 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I am having trouble why the OP is doing his best to characterise these events as racially motivated when hardly any evidence is available. Should Mr Trump jump on your bandwagon of manufactured outrage based on a couple of extreme left-wing articles (linked to in the OP) written by people who appear to hate everything "white" and / or "conservative" (link: From the OP ) There is no evidence on which to base any kind of accusations against Mr Trump, none at all. Why not wait until more is known about the perpetrator befor jumping to conclusions 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to have determined that these are terror-related incidents. From what little information is circulating these appear to have been targeted murders of specific individuals. At the moment surely they could have bee just as likely someone with a grudge exacting their warped revenge? Is the President expected to pronounce on every oe of the 10,000+ murders in the USA each year? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their police are on the TV saying if you find a package on your door step don't touch it, theyve had thousands of calls for the police to come investigate the mail. 11 minutes ago, keithisco said: Is the President expected to pronounce on every oe of the 10,000+ murders in the USA each year?

+Hammerclaw Posted March 17, 2018 #24 Share Posted March 17, 2018 If he had opened his mouth about it, the above would be a string of posts criticizing what he said and rebuttals. Besides, I don't remember Obama commenting on the daily gang-related homicides in his home town. They were "people of color" too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No...you are characterising these as terrorist incidents when they may be nothing more than gang, or grudge related. Who knows, not you, and not myself, because there is insufficient information to draw any conclusions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
