I hope nobody on this board was impacted by the senseless killings today on the walking/biking trail in NYC. My prayers go out to the families of those killed and for the people injured in the terrorist act. As someone who frequents trails of this sort, I can realize the horror which cyclists and pedestrians faced in this attack.

Horrible. Simply horrible.
Is it true he is in the US on a Diversity Visa? That has to be a joke right?

Hey, now is not the time to talk about how or why this happened or how it could have been prevented. Thoughts and prayers only, please. Or does that line only apply when a white guy shoots 500 people?

What kind of visa did the truck have?

Good to see Trump immediately attacking the Diversity Visa Program (green card lottery) as a wholly Democrat law, of course ignoring that 81 Senators voted for it, and it was signed into law by Bush 41...

Nice to see him using fraudulent information to attack a Senator from NY the day after the attack... He's a real peach.
The last thing NYC is scared of is some terrorist coward.

Stipulated that Trump is a jackass. So too is anyone who thinks there is salutary purpose to this Diversity Visa program at this stage in our country’s history.

So is anyone who would say that b.s..... For someone who jumps at every opportunity to say he doesn't support Trump you sure do align yourself with his worldview often....

They're randomly selected from the pool of applicants for each country, but they still have to make it through the vetting process like anyone else. There was a very good This American Life a couple years ago about one person's experience about the difficulty of the process.

Obviously, the problem is that too many brown people come in that way. Trumpers can't have that.

The entire premise of the trump campaign was about building systems and physical walls to keep others out. And, without exception, these others are brown people. You support him (and you certainly do) then you are supporting his racist policies. There is no getting around this.

You support him (and you certainly do) then you are supporting his racist policies. There is no getting around this. So you say. Let me be absolutely clear. The time has come to hang a giant “No Vacancy” sign on the Statue of Liberty. That goes for white, black, yellow, brown, red and plaid.
