What's the point of you?

For a theory based on logic, I'd say the timing and location of this has more to do with UK's election.

And/Or the UK has arrested ~14 related to the Manchester attack, and the investigation spurred these remaining terrorists into action, before they were caught.

I think he's being sarcastic?


the serious answer is that US terrorism is almost entirely self radicalized people who have been here a while and I've yet to see any actual argument on to how that would be affected by who the president was (as far as I know there hasn't been any major policy changes or the like that would make one more likely to be caught before hand.)

He seems to have bought into Trump's ideology, lock, stock and barrel, it's pretty sad. Why actually investigate the details of an incident when you can just take credit for it, and use it to push your agenda? At the very least it's what Trump himself is trying to do.

Wiki suggests that it does. None of that radical Islamic terrorism though.

No it doesn't seem that way.
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

LL hasn't bought into anything. He has always been a Russian living in the US talking about how the west is ending and the glory of mother Russia and Putin.

It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

And you're a paid US agent trying to spread their oppressive globalist capitalist propaganda in the Netherlands.

Edit: what I mean to say is, let the man have his opinions without attacking him on a personal level in a public forum.
When you came along so righteous with a new national hate, so convincing is the ardor of war and of men, it's harder to breathe than to believe you're a friend. The wars at home, the wars abroad, all soaked in blood and lies and fraud.

It really is fascinating how Trump continues to fail to grasp that all of his communications can and will be used against him over and over in the judicial sphere, just because nobody called him on outright lying about his past statements during electoral season in Republican debates.

He's quite clearly joking, or so I thought? Maybe in poor taste but I do not think he's serious, it's very much in line with past remarks of irreverence on Trumpian accomplishments.

I'd say in unacceptably poor taste; at any rate, this is why I prefer to require a /sarcasm label; as it's so hard to tell on the internet.
if you label it it's a lot clearer.
Great read: http://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-2016-general-election/ great book on democracy: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/10671.html zlefin is grumpier due to long term illness. Ignoring some users.

It also helps to be less Romanian considering that was a pretty easy one.

Epic failure and ignorance. Wonder how the acting solicitor general geeks about this. Honestly I don't think they will even take the case at this point.
