Explosion in NYC near major bus terminal. Sounds as if a pipe bomb went off prematurely. Bomb carrying individual in custody. No other injuries currently being reported. No info about the suspect has been released.

It's one view. A Newsweek piece.

This is what I've been warning about. It happened in 2016, it's happened in special elections since, and it will be much worse in 2018

New York is attacked and rather than focusing on this, Trump attacks the NY Times.

Another false story, this time in the Failing @nytimes, that I watch 4-8 hours of television a day - Wrong! Also, I seldom, if ever, watch CNN or MSNBC, both of which I consider Fake News. I never watch Don Lemon, who I once called the “dumbest man on television!” Bad Reporting.

"Mr. Trump told top aides to think of each presidential day as an episode in a television show in which he vanquishes rivals."

Yup.

This story came out in the NYT two days ago. But Morning Joe covered it right before this tweet. So, it seems Trump angrily tweeted that he doesn’t watch TV in response to...watching TV. Just amazing.

Ah, the suspect is brown. Shall we run a pool as to how long it takes Trump to tweet about it now?

Now I'm not saying that anyone who speaks Russian is shady. Nor that there aren't legitimate reasons to want to speak different languages. But this dd raise make my eyebrow launch itself into the stratosphere. Apologies if it's already been posted before.

Roy Moore speaks Russian and says "Maybe Putin is right." From an interview with @guardian - the end of this 1 min excerpt is chilling. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/dec/09/roy-moore-praise-putin-russia-alabama

Hearing just let out: Judge won't punish Paul Manafort for his involvement in the op-ed that appeared in a Ukrainian paper, but she warned him to tread carefully

Pain, I watched that Moore speaking Russian clip earlier today and assumed it was faked. Just someone getting clever with the editing desk.

If you can't make it, fake it.

Pedant alert.

I just don't know where to start on that!

.@PressSec says she cannot share whether the WH knows whether NYC suspect was radicalized outside the US but blames “chain migration.” He was a lawful permanent resident who entered in 2011.

Hideous in a different way.

Where is Trump's comments on the attack in NYC today?

I haven't seen any tweets about it.

I would have lost the MN trump-tweet pool - I definitely thought he would have spewed by now!

Seems like the terrorist was inspired by the Jerusalem issue.

But then again, terrorists find any excuse to carry out their actions
