Three -- count 'em -- THREE fake Islamic terrorist attacks coming from the administration...

[TLK Valentine]

1: Bowling Green Massacre
2: Atlanta
3: Sweeden

Some people are saying that this administration needs a Reichstag Fire so badly, they're going to keep concocting them until the people stop doubting them...

It is a bit ironic going after 'fake news' when perpetrating it yourself.

I wonder which illegal substance it is which Mega Mouth has been smoking? The Swedes would doubtless like to know.

Exactly.

I'd buy this whole rally against inaccurate reporting if the same people crowing about it cared a whit when Trump lied straight to their face. It seems like certain people don't care about lying in general, just lies that they don't like.

For the record, I don't think this was an attempt from Trump to be deliberately misleading, but probably a mistake he made without thinking. Not that I really blame him - his supporters don't care if the things he says are true, so why should he?

The trouble is that he doesn't think. That might not matter too much if he was the tinpot dictator of a banana republic, but he isn't - at least not yet.

Just because the FAKE NEWS media didn't report on them (so they could cover for failed president Obama who didn't get 304 electoral votes) doesn't mean they didn't happen. Many people are saying they happened. Sad.

If some incident happened in Sweden, the Swedish Government doesn't seem to know about it, which is why the Swedish Embassy in Washington has asked for "clarification".

Donald Trump is right, there was a recent attack in Sweden. By neo-Nazis on a refugee centre

Premise 1: Any theory is valid if it sells books, soaks up ratings, or otherwise moves units.

Funny, then sad, for it is not a premise but a truth.

That happened last month. According to Mega Mouth, something happened in Sweden "last night".

Also, given that he was talking about the problems with refugees, it wouldn't make any sense for him to be referencing an attack by neo-Nazis ON refugees.

Granted, Trump and logic don't always have the best relationship, but...

I think the Independent is trying to counter the anti-Muslim, dog whistle tactics of Trump, but still, that didn't happen "last night".

You mean the Alt-Right pre-emptively defended themselves from Islamic invaders... #AlternativeFacts

Neither I nor they said it did.

Wow, you managed to read the article! Congratulations, I guess? Not sure why you're telling me......

Of course. Sorry if my response implied I thought or was suggesting that it did, but I don't think and wasn't suggesting so. I was just making a point of fact.

Gotcha.

Yeah, it clearly isn't what Trump was talking about - he likely made it up out of thin air much like Conway and Spicer, but it is certainly ironic that the only recent attack in Sweden was by those who espouse the same anti-immigrant views on him, and was an attack on a refugee center.

"Some people" need to get out of their liberal echo chamber and into the real world for a while, then.

He's likely referring to Ami Horowitz's film.

The last time they did, they were told about the Islamic terror attacks at Bowling Green, Atlanta, and most recently, Sweden.
