NBC: Trump hails quick arrest of pipe bomb suspect, vows 'swift and certain justice'

"We must show the world we are united in peace and harmony," Trump said at a White House event held shortly after an arrest was made.

President Donald Trump on Friday praised law enforcement for the quick arrest of pipe bomb suspect Cesar Sayoc Jr. and vowed that he and anyone else possibly involved would be prosecuted to the "fullest extent of the law."

Trump, speaking at the 2018 Young Black Leadership Summit at the White House, called the sending of the bombs a “despicable” act that has “no place in our country” and vowed that “swift and certain justice” would be delivered.

“We must never allow political violence to take root in America. We cannot let it happen. I am committed to do everything in my power as president to stop it and stop it now,” he said.

So far, lefties, CNN, MSNBC, WAPO and NYTIMES have done the following:

- reported 90-95% negatively on Trump
- called Trump a racist, a nazi, a sexist, mentally unfit, morally unfit, unhealthy to survive the presidency (but gave Hillary, who collapsed ON VIDEO, a pass), called him dangerous to society, called him a constant liar
- called his base deplorables, racists and everything else
- applauded jokes about assassination of him
- applauded jokes about DECAPITATION of him
- agreed with Maxine Waters to get into people's faces and harass them and tell them they (Republicans) are no longer welcome
- were silent when leftwing nuts phantasized about the rape(!) about his son - how sick is that?
- were silent about election manipulation by Donna Brazille, who was paid by CNN and only fired after intense pressure... clearly manipulating the election process
- ignored leftwing mobs roaming the streets of Washington and Portland and even told us not to call them mobs!
- ignored the clear FBI spying of Trump's campaign which now has been extensively proven, still not reporting on it and earlier called Trump a deranged loonie for believing it AND again told us that this is not "spying". Right

I could go on for hours and hours. But then Zucker - head of CNN - puts blaim towards Trump???????? Is this guy insane? Does he bare no responsibility for what his network does every day?

I am even more a Trump supporter today than before the "bombing" attempts.

Because you know what Trump did? He took the high road, sending the Feds after that loonie and told everyone to calm down, and that violence is not acceptable.

What did CNN do? Slap his hand away and call him again all sorts of names and of course, his base "deplorables" and "racists"... you know, the classics.

Vote guys, vote! We cannot let these lefties rule

Remember what Hillary said? Civility can only return when they are back in power. and CNN does not see any problem with that. These hypocrites make me throw up.

So please, everyone go vote these hypocrites out of the senate and congress. We need every vote. This is not about party (I voted democrat my entire life). This is about values and showing the Hillary Clinton's and Maxine Waters and those talking heads at CNN that they cannot rule us, that they cannot tell us what facts are (mobs are not mobs, spying is not spying, election manipulation by Donna Brazille is not election manipulation). It has to end! VOTE!

"Um, hi. The Washington Times has in an article today that he was, in fact, a registered Democrat until Bernie Sanders was knocked out of the running in the last election. Further, if you look at the Trump stickers on the van the photos were taken of, they are mounted on cardboard so as to not be permanent and they are spanking new.

The whole story about this guy reeks."

If we had an extra week or two or 2 months before the election this could be sorted.

As it is the MSM is putting up its usual barrage of BULLSHIT.

As to what has been posted here, I will need to do my own research. With that said I would add that certain sore losers invented narratives of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign and Russian election interference. In doing this, the petty losers wrecked a careful and meticulous effort that had a good chance of ending Cold War 2. This wasn't enough for the childish petty electoral losers. They then had to undermine what had been a very successful summit/meeting between Putin and Trump that, if we could have built on it, might have provided avenues whereby we could have ended Cold War 2.

I do not think such people can be entrusted with power. While I cannot "know" until after the results of the election are in, I predict based upon my observations a massive "red wave." Perhaps with the Democrats out of the way sound progress can be made in ending Cold War 2 and in a number of other areas.

Comrade not everything is about Russia. Just chill, otherwise the Yankees will ask questions why you have poster of glorious leader Putin on wall. Or why you have Vaseline and tissue papers in same room where so,so many Putin posters on wall.

B.Poster said...

"Comrade..." Had you bothered to read my posts you'd know I hate Communism or perhaps basic reading comprehension is a skill you like.

You seem to imply that I support Putin. Nothing I have posted here would suggest or imply this. Perhaps you havent8 read my posts or you may lack basic reading comprehension.

I have suggested that when one has diplomatic opportunities with powerful leaders of powerful countries one does not flippantly pass them up and one doesn't take actions that needlessly foment conflict. Furthermore there may be some instances where one may try and add value to said powerful leader of said powerful country in exchange for something of value. This is part of the very definition of statesmanship and good leadership. It does not suggest or imply support for the leader or approval of the leader's overall policies or actions.

"not everything is about Russia..." I agree which you would know had you read my posts in their entirety assuming you have such basic reading skills.

Based upon the childish nature of your post you do not seem to be a serious person. Nevertheless I responded to this to clarify things for those who may not be regular readers.

The only butthurt is from ISIS butt bombers,

who have their fellow jihadis enlarge their a___es.

They were worried that this would make them gay so they asked the Imam, who said

"Don't worry about. Special dispensation"

There are a lot of busy beavers in ISIS land and a lot of pillow biting.
