It would have been much easier to just make the article:

Do we report on terrorist attacks?

Yes.

The real point is they probably over report terrorist attacks.

I don't think that was the real point that Trump was trying to make...

White House press secretary Sean Spicer has repeatedly pointed to Atlanta, along with San Bernardino and Boston, as one of three U.S. cities that have been attacked by Islamist terrorists to argue that the Trump administration needed to act quickly to prevent another attack in the future.
“I don’t think you have to look any further than the families of the Boston Marathon, in Atlanta, in San Bernardino to ask if we can go further,” Spicer said. “There’s obviously steps that we can and should be taking, and I think the president is going to continue do to what he can to make sure that this country is as safe as possible.”

Seamus Hughes, the deputy director of George Washington University’s Center for Cyber and Homeland Security, said Atlanta should not be included.

“There has not been a successful jihadi terror attack in Atlanta,” Hughes said.

I remember the Atlanta attack clearly. There was a sheriff trapped in the city centre and he was absolutely surrounded by the jihadi menace. He was lucky as he managed to find a tank to shelter in before help managed to reach him.

That only came days after the same sheriff was forced out of a department store building by jihadis and he only managed to escape the city by dressing up as one of them.

Never forget Atlanta. :cry:

Shoutout to that brave pizza delivery man, Glenn, another victim of the Atlanta massacre.


Glenn was an ethnic, the Trump administration doesn't give a gooseberry fool about him.

Sounds like this Seamus Hughes character is hiding that there was an attempted terror attack in Atlanta. There's definitely something going on, folks. Big conspiracy in Atlanta, which is a complete disaster by the way. Just terrible. Probably best to send in the feds!

I guess they might be talking about the Atlanta Olympic bombings, but as that was carried out by a white American Christian terrorist, I somehow doubt that was what they meant...

Donald Trump insisted that the Muslim ban was written "perfectly" and the federal judges who oppose it were motivated by politics.

His executive order to ban nearly all travellers from seven Muslim-majority countries, which prompted widespread protests and outrage, was temporarily halted after eight days by federal judge James Robart in Seattle.

Mr Trump read out the wording of the executive order to the National Sheriffs' Association, insisted it was written clearly and railed against the opposing judge's arguments.

"I watched last night with amazement and I heard things that I couldn’t believe," said Mr Trump. "Things that really have nothing to do with what I just read. I don’t want to call the courts bias.

But courts seem to be so political and it would be so great for our justice system if they would be able to read a statement and do what's right. And that has to do with the security of our country."

The President was angry that his emergency appeal to overturn Judge James Robart’s ruling was denied. He has now threatened to take the case to the Supreme Court.

“A bad high school student would understand this. Anybody would understand this,” he claimed, after reading out the wording of the order to the crowd.
"It’s as plain as you can have it," he added.

"I was a good student, I understand things. I comprehend things very well, I think better than anybody."

He argued the order was "correct, not politically correct", and it was important for national security, to stop an influx of people who want to "do harm" to the US. 

"It couldn’t have been written any more precisely. It’s not like ‘oh gee, we wish it was written better'. It was written beautifully."


He's such an insecure little snowflake

Tremendous intelligence. I understand...things.

I think Trump is actually very inspirational. He is the embodiment of how you can be so TREMENDOUSLY inept at everything and still rise to the very top.

That's the true American dream. The idiot son of an immigrant can become president.

That's the President attacking a company for dropping his daughter's poorly selling Fashion line.

Arguably.

If they're feeling bold they could go after him legally for libel (slander? I get the two muddled...or is it defamation)
