T.J. good observation; these attacks will continue, guess why? As long as the US continues to wage war in the middle east and other regions, then there will be revenge for all our bombing and killings, one way or another. It is simple as I already said several years before, if you give people food, an roof above their head, education as well an job, then you don't have wars etc. The Trump types don't understand that because they never were poor and only fight to enrich themselves.. If the US would have spent the trillions which they did spent on wars instead on to "feed" and "educate" people in the poor areas of the world then there would have been peace all over. Now "religion" in those regions uses the poor uneducated people as "bait" to get "power" over them, which in turn then becomes then an "money" issue to enrich an few, like is done here. The result is "dictatorship"as Trump adores and wants. The "circle" is complete, be proud of it.

Most all of these terrorists are young, in their 20s. Many of them are "home grown" although, perhaps of Middle Eastern descent. The question that needs to be asked -- what is it that drives them to such heinous suicidal acts? Are they marginalized socially and economically (stigmatized) in their own country of birth? Is the stigmatization due to their religious beliefs, or is it more racial and ethnic? Or something else? Or are they just victims or prey to unscrupulous leaders and their extremist propaganda? If you remove the racial/ethnic/religious factors are some of them just emotionally disturbed for whatever reasons...family perhaps? Most of the mass shootings in the USA are more motivated by family and work problems than political or religious hatred. Just saying...

In most European countries a simple vote of no confidence on a major issue is enough to call a new election. But here the process is much more onerous. As the website below outlines the process, their opening line is noteworthy: "The involuntary removal of a sitting President of the United States has never occurred in our history." FindLaw: Presidential Impeachment: The Legal Standard and Procedure After reading the article, you can certainly understand why. Like I said in many of my threads; it is time this country moves into the 21th Century; sticking to the antique British based idiology gets us in trouble all the time. However I saw on TV that an person has been assigned to draft the impeachment papers today, but this guy has had plenty of death threats already. Anyway I stick to, that this country is digging its own grave if it sticks to 1800's laws and rules. Also with our voting system, it was shown today that our system is vulnerable to hacking and other tricks. Such disclosure came after it was found out that even the Russians could have hacked voting stations. I saw Trudeau in the middle of common people without 30 bodyguards; even going on an nice canoe trip without body guards. Also the King Alexander in the Netherlands always mingles with people and rides his bike in public. That is the way it should be and can only be achieved if you have an Parlimentary system as well straight forward governing. Like I said all of this is an self inflicted deadly wound because this country refuses to adapt the laws to these times, let alone laws about "vetting" an President.

Yes, they are the disgruntled, feeling left behind, wanting to make a name for themselves, and buy into anyone or anything that may offer them fame, fortune comes in the form of 39 virgins when they reach their final destinations. The disgruntled Florida awning factory worker killed with a gun (probably legally acquired) because he'd been dissed by coworkers back in April, he returned and opened fire on his former coworkers. I always tell my spouse and myself when we get behind the wheel to drive responsibly and not to agitate or aggravate another driver on the streets or highways, if you do, you just might be killed.
