Suspect identified as Sayfullo Saipov, from Uzbekistan, arrived in US in 2010. Fox is ALREADY SAYING

that the left wing is somehow responsible as the "left" is using "violence" in recent adds and speeches. Yes. That is what they are saying -- already. Next it will be (imho) that Mueller must be fired because Trump can't deal with terrorist incidents because he is crippled by the investigation (I wouldn't be surprised by this at all).

Fox's Martha MacCallum and guest Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer were trying to connect this to the "left" and were trying to argue that the add in Virginia makes the left somehow implicated in/responsible for this terrorist incident. That is just pure insanity. Now Bernard Kerik on Fox is arguing that police profiling must be done with regard to "political correctness." Now Kerik is talking about how "this is war!!" FFS.

Now they have on General Jack Keane -- note the series of military "Fox News analysts" who are now hysterically talking about war etc (what war? Where? The war that's been going on for 16 years? Who knows?) I can't take anymore of this shit (I watched for 20 minutes which is heroic imho).

Barf. It's been just a few hours since this terrible incident happened.

Perfect timing for Fox and the rest of the KGOP propaganda arm.

(No, I’m not suggesting this is a false flag.)

is causing problems for poor poor Trump. He just can't spend his time fighting terrorists because of Mueller (so grotesque)

Or maybe only for Muslims. or Men. or Immigrant Men. or Muslim Immigrant Men.

Unfortunately, there is no way to stop an attack like this in an open society without becoming a closed society.

We must become a society in which no one wants to commit an attack like this, or Las Vegas, or Newtown, or the Boston Marathon, etc ad nauseum.

That will take decades.

immigrants were sponsored by people already here, and they were responsible for the newcomers. If we had that sort of thing again, and sponsors were legally/financially responsible, perhaps newcomers would be monitored and selected more carefully..

your nephew rents a truck, kills 8 people, and you go to jail and are liable in a civil trial because you sponsored his immigration?

The truck has a Home Depot logo on it, apparently rented from Home Depot.

Retired Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus endorsed Donald Trump for president. Therefore, is Home Depot and/or Donald Trump a co-conspirator in this terror attack?

Just connectin' the dots...
