Trump is parading his id on Twitter again.
Another attack in London by a loser terrorist.These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!

Must be proactive! he says – meaning, no doubt, that once someone is “in the sights” of Scotland Yard (actually MI5), that someone should be arrested and held indefinitely, no matter how slim or shaky the evidence. Never mind human rights, never mind the law, never mind probabilities: when in doubt throw people in prison and leave them there.
Loser terrorists must be dealt with in a much tougher manner.The internet is their main recruitment tool which we must cut off & use better!

We must cut off the Internet! And use it better! Both at the same time!
Trump himself is doing a lot of recruiting. Trump himself likes to incite people to hatred and violence. Trump is not the guy to tell anyone how to use the Internet.
The travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific-but stupidly, that would not be politically correct!

Trump’s beloved travel ban should be far larger – it should ban all Muslims from everywhere. It should be tougher – it should ban them instantly, starting right now, and tough shit if they’re already on planes in the air. It should be more specific – it should ban all Muslims.
But “stupidly” we think that banning some 20% of the world’s people from immigrating to the US would be both religious discrimination and racist, and the label for that is “not politically correct.” To foul narcissistic callous shits like Trump it’s bad to reject racism and religious discrimination, it’s bad and weak and contemptible. To foul narcissistic callous shits like Trump the right thing to be is proudly, rudely, unashamedly racist and hostile.
That’s the president of the US.

There are conservatively >50,000 young teenage American adult males (14-25) who identify as Muslim. Trump says these people are terrorists. How long will it be before a peaceful member of our society finds himself alone and in a corner because of the vitriol people like Trump spew? That is the president of the US, quite possibly the greatest terrorist threat on the planet. Not helping.

I see. One attack in London, no deaths, we must be proactive. Over 100 deaths from two hurricanes, undoubtedly made more severe by climate change, so obviously we must be even more proactive over that.
Pew says 3.3 million Muslims in America in 2015. That’s a lot of people to demonize.
One fire in a plastic bucket on a tube train – so – off with their heads! All of them! Right now!
When the FBI documented the threat posed by certain right-wing groups in the U.S., not only were they not allowed to “round them up” for crimes not yet committed, they were told to stop investigating those groups. The only terrorism Trump and his supporters care about is that committed by brown people.
And by ‘politically incorrect’ he means ‘unconstitutional religious descrimination.’
