Did Trump's press secretary Sean Spicer just make up Atlanta Islamist terror attack? (Washington: cabinet, taxes)

Sean Spicer Makes Up Atlanta Islamist Terror Attack - The Daily Beast

If Spicer was referring to the Centennial Olympic Park bombing, then let me refresh his memory and remind him that that attack was by a Far-Right white American, who pose by far the biggest terrorist threat in America.

Also, that's twice now that the Trump administration has verbally gone after metro Atlanta. What is their deal with this place anyway?

I think he must have been confused, thinking Representative Hank Johnson really did tip over Guam.

At least he has a clue unlike most of the posters here. Both were awful candidates, but a lot of Hillary supporters are in denial.

9/11 was by and large all Saudis, with 1 guy from Egypt (the ringleader), 2 from UAE and 1 Lebanese guy.

Yet, he and supporters largely citing 9/11 as justification... to ban 7 OTHER countries which had NOTHING to do with 9/11. Are his supporters even aware of that? Do they not even know the difference between any of those countries, or even care, as long as we're keeping out people who aren't white and don't speak English and stuff?

I doubt they could even find them all on a map. It's just about this mindless bigotry. F this so-called "president".

Of course, more fake news from the left. There have been at least 60 (saw another source say the figure was 76) from those countries convicted since 9/11. But you can keep believing your made up facts in your alternative reality. The Ninth Circuit gets it wrong | Fox News

Perhaps I wasnt clear enough. I am proud that people voted for someone they truly believed in. Sanders and trump were seen as outsiders and.not part of the establishment. They were seen as unique and instead of everyone.voting.for hillary and the.oyher gop candidate only, they decided to.vote for who they wanted to see.as.president
. Usually peolle would say I dont.think such and.such will win and.then they vote for the status quo. This time around, things were different. I believe that is why Mr. Obama was so popular is that he represented change when he ran.

There were at least 60 attacks on U.S. soil by terrorists from these seven countries, or 60 attacks worldwide?

Not challenging you, just asking.

This was the election where more people held their nose and voted for either candidate than probably in any other election. How many times did you hear "We have two horrible candidates" this election? Hell, somebody has to win and somebody has to lose; that's how it works. Nothing to be "proud" of, it's just the system doing what the system does.

I'm still not sure what was/is horrible about Hillary.

[primaltech]

Here's a list of all the Islamic terrorism events on U.S. soil in history (there are not that many at all):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror...amic_extremism

Of these 15 or so, how many were conducted by people who came here from the 7 countries that Trump is trying to ban?

So basically the question is, what attacks might his policy have prevented? Because it would NOT have prevented 9/11.

Hillary got to where she got to because of the media pushing her and virtually ignoring Sanders. The the Dnc also were backing her fully. There was a lot of bias. I was not referring to her. I was referring to sanders and trump. Although sanders did not clinch the dem nomination, he still did quite well for being a democratic socialist. I honestly dont even see him as a democrat. I see him as another party and he same with trump. Both were unique to the campaign and like it or not, this aided them in their popularity. They tapped into a part of the American public other candidates weren't. Even Hillary had to take some of what she saw from bernie just as she did with obama in order to resonate more with the people. Even though I dont like trump, you have to admit, no one thought he would make it as far as competiting against another rep candidate much less win the presidency. Hillary may have won the popular vote but the fact that she couldnt defeat trump really does show a lot of didnt/don't like her and what she stands for.
