Pipe bomb detonated in downtown Manhattan

Sunday morning talk shows are in the bag for her. All they have been talking about is trumps statement, not hillary.

Yeah because he's a fucking legend at jumping to conclusions.. like when that plane crashed and he claimed terrorism. You could pop a baloon in his presence but to him its islamic terrorism.

Speaking of that, we somehow have nothing on that, still. Hmmm...

Trump:
- Offered Gaddafi, a terrorist who murdered Americans over Lockerbie to stay at his property, when no one would host him in NY.
- Bragged about his buildings being the tallest again after WTC came down.

so now that he was correct and it was a pressure cooker bomb similar to what happened at the Boston marathon wonder if the news will change their tune...looks like they already have as the "trump jumps to conclusions" headlines have all now been replaced with terror attack - pressure cooker bomb stories.

Why would it matter what the eventual determination is? He made a statement based on basically no evidence. Jumping to conclusions without evidence is something we should all be able to agree would be an atrocious thing for a president to do.

The guy is just totally unable to control himself, it's an ugly thing to witness.

I thought he was racist? Please get your smears straight. Not good to mix and match when they contradict one another.

And Hillary said that it was a bomb also. So yeah, your narrative fails.

Except he does this constantly, as he's totally unable to control himself. Do you think he's suffering from early symptoms of Alzheimer's? It runs in his family after all.

And he has been right every time and remains unproven on the airliner. So yeah, hitting him for this but denying hillary is a joke.

Lol no he has not. He routinely embraces hilariously stupid conspiracy theories, he just pretends to forget about having done so after he turns out to be totally wrong. Looks like he duped you into believing him easily enough though.

He genuinely seems to be emotionally unstable, wouldn't you agree?

Lol!...Trump told his audience that "a bomb went off" in Chelsea (before the cause of the explosion had been determined - please notice this, Alex Jones), then proceeded to brag about his poll numbers, and followed up by telling everyone to stop asking him how he's going to do stuff.

"I will give you good results. Don’t worry how I get there, okay? Please."

I guess having his ego challenged by that black woman in Flint really rattled him and he's back in "Swing blindly at everyone so they can see that I'm not a loser" mode.

 

[blackangst1]

I love how any thread, no matter the subject, ends up being a name calling thread with all of us, and denouncing Trump or Hillary. What a fun forum.

I did like how he took shots at her afterwards for telling him to keep politics out of her place. It's pretty obvious he was still angry about it days later. What a sad little man.

Meh. I'm glad that nobody got hurt. The real story here is all the people jumping to conclusions. FEAR! TERROR!! WHARRRGARBLE!!! No thanks.

As has been noted, the evidence is Trump was lucky that he happened to guess correctly in this instance when he jumped to an conclusion so early and publicly in the news event.

There were definite other initial likely possibilities for the cause of the explosion including natural gas leak related explosions or transformer explosions.

In no respect were any of these incidents deliberately caused explosions.

Trump, Clinton quickly refer to New York blast as bomb; Trump takes brunt of media criticism

“If you're in the media and your chief worry is that Trump called a bombing a bombing too early for you, please find another line of work,” conservative commentator Ben Shapiro tweeted.

I guess when the media is part of the Clinton campaign, they follow her lead in attacking Trump for saying bomb.
.. after she herself said bomb.

It is pretty evident it was a bomb immediately.

I was in the building next to the 43rd and lex steampipe explosion in 2010 or so.

I was also at the top of the esb during the east coast blackout in Aug 2003. They knew pretty quickly that it wasn't terrorism when they came over the building intercom to tell us we would be fine. I was in an elevator in the 2nd bank at the time.

Keep in mind, he is likely getting some info more quickly than we are and it is likely not from shitty "news" reporters.

He is a sociopath. He is just using racist idiots to get ahead. If he could get ahead by using brown people, he would pander to them.

WTF does that have to do with anything ?

I'll wait and see, looks like BS to me. Someone might catch some flack for it though.

 

[Jaskalas]

ISIS claimed it.
They'd also claim killing a kitten if they heard someone else did it. This other online posting from someone else is just as baseless.
Give the authorities time to follow up.

Haha the ugly thing to witness is you getting your panties in a twist as he nearly ties her in the polls.

Fact was he was right, it was a bomb, period....who knows what information he had at the time of his statement.

It was pretty obvious it was a bomb to begin with.

That is beside the point.
