What am I supposed to be outraged over regarding all of this?

Someone point me to the outrage please.

Set the correct fire at a fertilizer plant, and anyone is capable of that.

Maybe we should let them.

Reports out now are that it was an accident...


So there is this stash of fertilizer in a warehouse. And then there is this stash of diesel fuel in the warehouse that saturates the fertilizer. And then there is some ignition source in the warehouse that sets it off. Seems like an accident to me.

The West, Texas fertilizer explosion was cause by an arson fire that ignited 540,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate. Maybe there was a fire in Beirut.

Trump's military advisors told him it was likely an attack. Problem with Donald is he just conveys what they told him. Obama and Bush Jr. would have been coy about it.

Ok?



It’s a huge, major world event and we’ve known it was not an attack for hours.

The President should be significantly more informed and aware. This is the type of thing that requires an immediate statement.

You think you are more informed than the President?
You may not like him and think he's stupid or whatever, but the President is one of the most informed people on Earth.

Wait as long as you want. Doesn't make any difference to me.

I’m a big Trump supporter.

And he was obviously not informed on this topic.

We were told for months that Trump suggesting that the Democrat power base spied on him was kookytalk.

I’m not sure what you’re laughing at. He was.

I think we can be critical of our own. He was clearly talking off the cuff and didn’t have a clue. It happens.

For comparison’s sake, I looked at what UK PM Johnson said about the explosion.
His statement was about as well-stated as can be; yet he still had folks on the British left excoriating him.

Just goes to show: When you’re in politics, you can’t win.

You call that being "not informed" and talking "off the cuff"?

By the way, it's from a CNN reporter also...

The prime minister was murdered 10 years ago. And today they were basically going to find out who did it. Maybe a coincidence..

Before his comments it was already revealed it was not an attack in any way.

He was misinformed by his generals.

He's not going to say much about it as it is clearly tied to whatever the FBI was doing in Cleveland and Miami today. There is an ongoing investigation.
