Today? He’s done it well before now with the cutting of funding into domestic terrorism.
The wording of his statement yesterday left plenty of room for the notzees to be the real victims of the piece.
“Condolences” to the dead and “best regards” to the injured?
What a jerk.
Rest of the world: commence the shunning. Turn away. Unextend all invitations. Limit all diplomats. Passive aggression all around, please.
The local Democrats are busy blaming the left:

I imagine that if pressed for a definition of that concept, Trump would say it’s when a wife says “Not tonight, honey” to her husband.
The rest of the world are busy building bomb shelters.
To quote Abba Eban about another group, the Dems never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
Meanwhile…
The 2018 elections are 14 months away. Every would-be Republican candidate in America is waking up this morning and asking themselves how they’ll sweep this under the rug.

I do like the table-turning here, on American Christians and Republicans Americans who call out the entire “Islamic community” for not informing authorities about their radicalized members.
Nehlen is running against Ryan as the Trumpist candidate for the Wisconsin 1st.
Here is another one.
So I wear polo shirts for work, and I’m a white guy. I don’t have the alt right side sweep hairstyle, so I have that going for me. How do I differentiate my white guy work look from Nazi assholes even more? Do I plant a rainbow flag in my ass? Or will that just make me a Milo?
Betty Bowers is a treasure.
For me, it’s less how you look than what you do.
We all owe Trump a debt for answering the eternal question; Who is the worlds biggest asshole?
Christ, what an asshole.
Don’t. Just call yourself the polo shirt equivalent to the SHARPs.
Don’t let the fascist arseholes take anything from you.
A Black Lives Matter lapel pin.
