That’s not the correct way to look at it. In Republican-land, the first rule is that whatever President Obama does is evil, stupid, wrong and un-American.
So “drop it all and run back to DC like a terrified toddler” only became the Republican party line the instant it became clear that Obama would not do that.
Had Obama cut short the Cuba trip instead, the GOP and RWNJs would be going on about the importance of the president sticking to plans and not letting terrorists dictate his actions.
I’m not gonna stay for what are probably obvious reasons, but if anyone needs facts to combat the derp (yeah, prolly useless, but still) the Institute of Economics and Peace’s 2015 Global Terrorism Index (published November 2015) has lots of good data. Most of it is from 2014, but things haven’t changed that much really (well, except it’s gotten a lot worse for people living in the countries where these asshole operate).
There’s an overview of the report’s key findings here with charts & maps—like this and this—and below is the PDF of the full 111-page report. I think I’ve posted it here before, but it doesn’t hurt to do it again.

The fact that Trump is leading the GOP pack and is the presumptive nominee of a major political party on the basis of his racism and Islamophobia indicates the terrorists are at least partly succeeding. And the fact that the whole Right Wing calls on the President to drop everything he’s doing and fly back to DC over any terror attack that hits white, Christian, Western European countries? That’s terrorism winning - especially given the deafening silence at the similar sized attacks in Ankara, Turkey this weekend.

Although I can appreciate why any Christian would have trouble supporting Trump, it is encouraging that so many sincere and mature Christians would support him in spite of the negatives. How many of us would have chosen the ones Jesus picked to be His leaders? Why didn’t He go to the religious conservatives to find the future leaders of His church? Like it or not, the ones He chose were more like Trump than those we tend to esteem. Even the Apostle John, who is now known as the great messenger of love, was so reactionary that he wanted to call down fire from heaven to consume those who disagreed with them. On the night before Jesus was crucified, the disciples argued over who was the greatest. Sounds like Trump to me.

Tom Costello from NBC is saying a Belgian cabby picked up the three guys that are being shown in that one image. He said the cabby had difficulty picking up the very heavy bags they had with them.
As soon as the cabby heard about the bombing at the airport, the cabby called the police. He took the police to the place/address he picked them up at. That was the apartment the police later broke into and found bomb stuff, nails, an ISIS flag, etc.
I hope all that happening as fast as it did really brings the heat on any other terrorists involved or even in the city that may have not played a part in this attack. Hopefully the police found some contact info, phones, etc.

re: #75 wrenchwench
I’m contemplating re-registering for our primary in June. California leaves it to the parties to decide if independents (or in Californian parlance “decline to state”) can vote in their presidential primaries. The Democrats, Libertarians, and one other minor party allow independents to vote, but the GOP doesn’t. If the GOP contest really does go all the way to California, I kind of want to vote against Trump.

Barring catastrophe, the California GOP primaries are absolutely going to matter. That’s just the way the delegate allocation rules shake out from here on.
Cruzites are jumping on the Mia Love endorsement as some sort of proof that Cruz has a “positive agenda” for America.
Love converted to LDS and has been very much invested in a theocratic view of government, so her endorsement of Cruz is hardly a surprise.
Which raises the question of just how much LDS members are willing to embrace the Protestant theocrats, but the reverse is less true.

We had a huge Suburban when we lived in Italy. During one of the periods of elevated alert, they put dogs on the base gates. A dog alerted on us, and we went through the whole drill, even pulling out the damned bench seats, because that’s where the kids had dumped the Cheetos.

re: #156 KGxvi

Once I became accustomed to the Republican party as being a pro-torture party, as it certainly is, my outrage was largely replaced with resignation, along with further determination to never vote GOP for any office, ever again, as long as I live.
The fact that the single most compelling reason for favoring torture according to the GOP base is that Obama is against it is disgusting, but utterly predictable.

National Racists Online come out and embrace their well earned epithet:
After Brussels, Time to Get Serious
[…]
Other measures are necessary. In a press conference shortly after the Brussels attack, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz stated, “We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized,” a proposal that, predictably, has the usual suspects rending their garments. But directing limited law-enforcement resources toward likely sources of radicalization — certain mosques and community centers, for example — should be common sense; responsible people know the difference between a targeted approach to thwart a real and dangerous phenomenon and an unconstitutional dragnet.

re: #152 Backwoods_Sleuth
My father has a story from when he worked on Cyprus in - I believe - the late 1970s. He was in conversation with an RAF officer about the state of security on the island, and the officer told him that some of the local police had been guerilla fighters not too long before, and to “be careful, because some of those men killed people, and they learned to like it.”
One of the reasons we don’t torture - besides the fact that it doesn’t work - is that it makes monsters out of the practitioners, more often than not, and that genie is awfully hard to put back in the bottle. I don’t know why grown adults can’t see that. I don’t know why this vulgar orange dumbfuck actually gains traction advocating one of the worst features of tyrannical governments everywhere. The mind, it boggles.

Agree. After looking into the super-delegate structure it makes sense to me. And, I am pretty sure the GOP is envious this cycle.
Super-delegates come from several categories of prominent Democratic Party members: [snipped summary]

21 Democratic governors
46 Democratic members of the United States Senate

It’s a compliment of sorts, they’re saying you’re a role model, one they’re obviously chagrinned to be emulating, but still.
It’s too bad they’re in so fucking deep that they’ll never admit the problem is modern conservatism itself.

Politico brings us this:
In a cautionary note for Democrats, Merolla said that their research showed that frightened voters do not necessarily look for traditional leadership qualities such as Clinton’s long tenure in government. She added that female politicians “are typically at a disadvantage” when terrorism is a dominant issue.
There was some evidence on Tuesday of pro-Trump sentiment emerging from unlikely quarters. “Hate Donald Trump all you like, but at least he seems to recognise the magnitude of the threat and at least he has firm proposals for how to try to defeat it,” the former CNN prime-time host Piers Morgan, generally considered a liberal, wrote in the Daily Mail. “[H]ow many more scenes like this morning’s appalling images from Brussels are we going to tolerate before we try a non-PC option to beat these disgusting excuses for human beings?”
[…]
What does “non-PC” really mean?
re: #9 Fourth Football of the Apocalypse
As I posted downstairs,
So according to Kasich-Cruz and the other couch-fainters, the POTUS should immediately drop whatever he or she is doing, no matter what or where, and run back to Washington whenever there’s a terrorist attack anywhere in the world?
Sounds like a bad precedent.
Hey, this is JUST LIKE when John McCain cancelled his campaign to call for a meeting in Washington about the financial crisis in 2008!
…and then he didn’t have anything to say at the meeting.

I have.
I’m straight so I can’t comment from an LGBT perspective. I do know she got a lot of outrage over supporting a researcher’s unpopular (with some) research about the causes of transexuality. My problem with it wasn’t with supporting the aforementioned researcher (apparently a bunch of trans folks agree with him others don’t) but that I see no reason why his hypothesis explains why all trans people are trans. She seemed to me to be siding with the researcher and implying that all transexuality has the same cause.

I read the article that #272 Backwoods_Sleuth, and the summary in there read to me that he didn’t think they were all influenced by the environment or genetics, but that there could be influences from both. It didn’t seem like an all or nothing. But, then again, I haven’t read the book.

Her statement the other day (which included the phrase ‘we need strong hands’) shows that she knows exactly how to go after him.

I really don’t understand it. I really don’t. It hit me as hard as 9/11 (the Virginia Tech shooting, too). But I try to forget the way I imagined these children dying in the days and weeks and months after. I actually started to try to not think about what the parents were going through. Then a few months ago the asshole Florida professor who was a Sandy Hook truther got notice for his activity. And then this weekend my son’s soccer team from NH played a Newtown, CT team in a tournament and I saw a couple of cars with “never forget Sandy Hook” stickers. I’m a 51 year old man and I started crying again.
I feel the same way when I hear of children caught in gang crossfire, but I don’t get that news as often until the conversation is “what about black on black crime?”
It’s so hard when those of us who think “what would make America great” has no or little root in a mythological past (the “again”) but in a future that is uncertain but is based on rational discussion. In this case, about guns.
