The list of attacks follows:

Yikes! These clowns are in charge!

[DRoseDARs]

1. *facepalm* You have got to be kidding me... n/t

[Greywing]

2. Funny ... I remember almost all of these being covered by the media

This is an absolutely idiotic list. Why not add every single murder that has happened in the last month ... that would equate to most of the "terrorist attacks" on this list. This administration makes me totally sick ... I want them out NOW!

[wordpix]

43. so do I - Trumputin, there's a trail of evidence against you, leave now or

leave your name and the nation in total shambles some years from now.

[Warpy]

77. He's trumping out the wrong hole on this one

Maybe they weren't covered on the You Tube conspiracy sites he favors, but the mainstream media covered them all, even though most were offshore and a number of attacks against US police weren't connected to DAESH.

This man is a total ignoramus and I sincerely hope Maxine Waters knows what she's talking about when she says impeachment is in the works. No one this dangerously ignorant should be anywhere near government.

[Blackjackdavey]

88. Links

Almost all of them feature links to the original news article, debunking their premise all at once. They're killing me.

[Phoenix61]

3. WTH is that?

[DRoseDARs]

6. A day spent frantically trawling GoogleNews...

Pathetic.

[onetexan]

45. trawling google news LOL

good one

[Ms. Toad]

72. Of course, trawling GoogleNews will only find you the ones that were reported on.

Which doesn't help their claim that terrorist attacks in Europe are so common they aren't even being reported on.

[Freethinker65]

4. Sad.

[TubbersUK]

5. Amateur hour n/t

[mobeau69]

7. They failed to list the Bowling Green Massacre

[DRoseDARs]

18. They forgot, but we will always remember... nt

[cstanleytech]

41. Yes, we shall always remember the horror of that day /pray

[Gymbo]

8. But not a Mention of

The Quebec Mosque killing by a Trump supporter.

[TexasBushwhacker]

69. Did they mention Dylan Roof? If it did I missed it n/t

[Solly Mack]

9. This release does not change the fact that Trump lied.

Idiots. Liars. Pack of fools.

[itcfish]

87. They Lie Because

They know a whole lot of people will believe the WH and not the "fake news" media. That is how low this country has gone.

[madaboutharry]

10. "Most didn't receive the attention they deserved."

That is a vague standard. How much is enough attention?

There are attacks in this list that I recall being in the news for days, receiving extensive media coverage.


This is nonsense. They just wrote down all the attacks that have occurred and tried to claim we didn't hear enough about them.

Which is not the same as a "Cover Up."

[GusBob]

20. It's the opposite of a cover up

This is a ploy to get these attacks and their headlines back in the news

Kinda like her emails were in the news

[wordpix]

62. I agree, ploy is Donnie of Oz will protect US, just don't pull back the curtain!

This man is dangerous and intemperate and he has to go. He's Putin's stooge for sure.

[mobeau69]

25. BINGO! They're now going with

“Most have not received the media attention they deserved..."

Earlier today. drumpf said "never reported".

Media should demand the list of the "never reported" attacks.

[mobeau69]

37. Don Lemon just mentioned this.

David, Gloria and that soft spoken lady are destroying the so-called president and his staff live and in color right now!

[flygal]

42. They just wrote down attacks with arabic names or in foreign lands

Where's the list of all the gun violence here in the US??

[wordpix]

51. difficult for anyone to keep up in past 2 yrs w/King Con hogging stage

If "Most didn't receive the attention they deserved," in the past 2 yrs. that's due to our so called president

[cstanleytech]

63. Ya its complete bullshit but its also not meant for us but rather for FreeRepublic types who

are to scared to try to actually think for themselves therefore they prefer to be told what to think and who to hate and fear.

[ck4829]

11. Wow. This is what they spent their day doing? Trying to play a game with some media people?

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. the manufacture of fear is all that they have to rule "their" masses

[meadowlark5]

13. Well, they sure the hell didn't spend enough time on that Bowling Green Massacre

I didn't know anything about it :yowser

[Marthe48]

14. if they weren't covered

how did they find the reports?

[Beartracks]

57. LOL ... This.

[bettyellen]

15. It looks like they are using names when they're not from

One of their seven counties... and the country when they are. One Syrian? And since when are Eqypt and Tunis Europe? Funny how they left out the Roof church massacre and Canadian mosque.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. Looks like there's an incident in Florida on the list that didn't get much coverage

ORLANDO, FL, US
June, 2016
TARGET: 49 killed and 53 wounded in shooting at a nightclub
ATTAKER: US person

Spelling mistake as is at the link and presumably direct from the White House.

There is a lot of evidence that the shooter was inspired by personal rage and phobia of latent homosexual urges and not ISIS.

[wordpix]

53. I did get those reports but still, ISIS was main angle

[sinkingfeeling]

17. So, include incidents with no casualties, unidentified attackers, and

claim they're all terrorist attacks. But attacks committed by Americans with guns aren't, right?

I read about 95% of those on the list, so they were reported.

[wordpix]

58. there are many attacks if it's true but also many q's about list

as you say, there are many unidentified attackers on the list. Just b/c someone has an Arabic sounding name doesn't mean he's a terrorist. I don't know the names.

But as usual, Trumputin has rolled out "something" to get us off our impeach goal. And also as usual, the roll out is totally botched. Not a professional job, it's Amateur Hour.

[DUgosh]

19. Those are Jessica Fletcher's

Next cozy mystery plots

[murielm99]

81. Bring back Jessica Fletcher! n/t

[gordianot]

21. You could include RW attacks world wide that are religious and politically motivated.

Trump feeds terror for his own purpose and profit. Terrorist acts are not going to stop but the false equivalency has to stop and soon.

[Mrs. Overall]

22. Release a list of every American killed in America by a gun-yielding American--

And start in 2013--it's going to be more than 74 and certainly most were under-reported.

Fuckheads.

[Leghorn21]

23. Beware the ATTAKER! Be scared of the ATTAKERS! Okay, okay, I'm frickin

terrified, spooked, flipped out, anxious and afraid!!

But I also have spellcheck - why doesn't this so-called "administration" have it, ffs?!

[volstork]

36. Apparently, they can't even turn on the lights...

http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Report-Trump-team-baffled-by-White-House-light-10911729.php

I guess they can't type, either.

[Leghorn21]

47. volstork - seriously - "Is this 'real life?'" - I just - I can't - well, you know what I mean, eh?!

*sigh*!!

[wordpix]

59. they didn't ask Obama staff about the lights? What does that say?

To me it says, "We're the new admin. Clear out by noon tomorrow!"

[Equinox Moon]

24. I don't even need to look at the list.

The media THRIVES on reporting high-action-trauma-tragedy. They never miss it!

[DRoseDARs]

26. Oh but you should look. It's breathtaking in its amateurity. nt

[Equinox Moon]

34. "The list of attacks, which includes misspellings,"

That is some list.

[denverbill]

27. Trump trying to immortalize failed attackers.

Jeez there is nothing ISIS would love more than constant press coverage on even their failed attacks and ones they had no part in even planning.

Should the press cover a failed attack with no casualties like 9-11? Sounds like what scaredy-cat Trump wants.

[DRoseDARs]

28. Surely you educators out there recognize this list?

How it is the product of every student desperately working in the final hours before a paper is due? A paper they didn't start working on until... the final hours before the paper is due.

[Tanuki]

65. This. eom

[tavernier]

29. Average day in Miami.

Good thing he doesn't watch our news.

[mobeau69]

30. This list thingy is backfiring on the idiots already.

CNN reporters are trying hard not to laugh out loud.

[LudwigPastorius]

31. "The list of attacks,...

which includes misspellings, follows:"



They must have the interns in charge of "come up with something to defend whatever crazy shit that comes out of the boss's mouth that day".

[thesquanderer]

32. Trump's quote was that it was happening "all over Europe" and not being reported.

I did not realize that Canada, Australia, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and New York were in Europe (among many others).

(Besides all the other issues people have mentioned.)

[pkdu]

46. Not to mention Russia!

DERBENT, RUSSIA
December, 2015
TARGET: One killed and 11 wounded in shooting at UN World Heritage site
ATTAKER: Unidentified ISIL-Caucasus operative

[procon]

33. More fear! Rachet up the scary stuff! Be afraid America, be very afraid!

Only Donald J. Trump can save you now, and that's even more terrifying.

[mobeau69]

40. And drumpf.

[Javaman]

35. Personally, I think this belittles the Bowling Green massacre. ;)nt

[Thekaspervote]

38. Of course he's making his case for his Muslim ban

Yes, I may be stating the obvious. If so, would someone tell me!!

[shadowmayor]

39. But let's not mention

All the goddamned bombs that have gone off in Iraq and Syria since we opened up one giant can of death and destruction. That's actually where most of the terrorists are operating, where we're supposed to be stopping them, and where most of the people actually die from terrorist attacks.

STFU Donny, and the press punted on the Middle East a decade ago.

[wordpix]

44. yay CBS wrote, "unsupported claim" re: Trump lie

It seems MSM sees the danger

[jpak]

48. Those were all reported - and many posted on DU the day they happened

Trump fucking lies.

yup

[Plucketeer]

49. There were THREE

drive-by shootings in Fresno today. The "news" coverage won't go beyond local, you can bet. But, Trumpy and his pals of the NRA could make their case for EVERYONE to be "packin'" to dissuade home grown terror. My point is that if this list is evidence of terrorist activities ( mostly cause of muslim-sounding names) then we're in a heap o' trouble! Cherry-picked facts are as odious as alternative facts. BUT.... if you're really stupid!

[Danascot]

50. In Trump's defense

it's likely very few of his supporters know anything about those attacks.

[appleannie1943]

80. That's true. They only watch Fake FOX News.

[BadgerMom]

52. Anyone look at this sorry list

and count the attacks in the US executed by anyone other than "US person?" ONE! ONE, you scaredy cat religious bigot! Your ban would have been essentially ineffectual domestically!

[onenote]

54. I didn't go through the whole list, but from July through the end of the year

There were 21 attacks listed. The perpetrators of those attacks include two Syrians and two Somalis. None of the perpetrators of the other attacks came from any of the other countries on the banned list, although several came from countries not listed. In fact, I believe the number of perpetrators born in France out is greater than the number of perpetrators from the banned countries.

[Glimmer of Hope]

55. What in the world. I have some cognitive issues but I remember a lot of these attaks.

If had the energy I would send it back with spelling corrections and the results of my 1-2 minute Google searches that confirm that these attaks were in fact reported. This is a joke, right?:

HAMBURG, GERMANY
October, 2016
TARGET: One killed in knife attack
ATTACKER: Unknown

This happens every day in Baltimore!

[pkdu]

56. holy Artisan Bakery ? - oops!

its "Holey Artisan Bakery" - it is truly keystone cops worthy

[mobeau69]

60. Here's one Jeb McCoy never heard about

BERLIN, GERMANY
December, 2016
TARGET: 12 killed and 48 wounded by individual who drove truck into a crowded market
ATTACKER: Anis Amri













Old Jeb was killed in the Bowling Green Massacre and died 4 years later from old age.

[wordpix]

64. that truck attack was huge news, it was covered completely

I guess those publishing the report are morans

[stonecutter357]

61. wow!

[Doodley]

66. The list didn't include that terrorist who threatened to "surround them, bomb them and take the oil"

[hurple]

67. I have a feeling

The "proof" that millions of illegals voted for Trump in NY and CA will look eerily similar to this "proof."

[TexasBushwhacker]

68. You see, you have to read or tune into the news first n/t

[mountain grammy]

70. Ha, so he did attend a briefing.. or, more likely, made it all up

or copied a police crime log.

[Ms. Toad]

71. Not only did most not receive the attention they deserved, most were not in Europe.

dipshits.

[herding cats]

74. Apparently Europe now includes W. Asia, Africa and the US?

More alternative facts, or was the spelling impaired person who threw this together also geographically impaired?

[Ms. Toad]

75. Most likely.

Of course limiting the attacks to those that occurred in Europe would be a mighty small collection, and kind of disprove the point Trump was trying to make. So more likely, as someone above suggested, the intern assigned to rehabilitating the bosses' lies of the day.

[bhikkhu]

73. Interesting, but I was able to find news coverage on every one of those I checked

Yes, terrorism exists, and yes, the media covers it.

[Sunlei]

76. imagine the picture, trump in his bathrobe watching TV, yelling at spicer over the daily presser.

FU Republicans for bringing the crazy to America.

[HassleCat]

78. Did they even read the list before they released it?

Some of these incidents are so short on details we don't know what they are.

[appleannie1943]

79. Good grief. Some of those were in the news for days. Just because he can't read doesn't mean

the media did not cover them.

[mainer]

82. In that same 2-year period of time, about 65,000 Americans killed by guns

The loss of a small American city EVERY TWO YEARS. That definitely hasn't been adequately covered.

[wordpix]

89. It HAS been covered but NRA has Congress by the nuts

We should hammer Drumpf about US guns getting in terrorists' hands. That will keep him busy awhile

[Bengus81]

83. The Orlando nightclub attack wasn't reported?? Your a FREAKIN IDIOT Trump....n/t

[Bengus81]

84. Here's one that was stopped BEFORE it happened and the chances of Trump reporting this one...

are greater than ever seeing his tax returns. Three red neck WHITE guys wanting to blown up an entire apt complex where many Muslims lived and had a mosque last summer. One of those arrested was proudly sporting a TRUMP for President sign in front of his double wide trailer home.

[chelsea0011]

85. You actually have to be able to read and watch and pay attention to other media

news sources to KNOW ABOUT THINGS. How many trumpsters do you think get their news from newspapers that have a strong foreign press or watch anything out side of that non news cable network? Getting news doesn't just happen. You need to look and pay attention. Those are not the trumpster crowd and the dump of non coverage is a red herring to get the people who actually pay attention to feel the need to defend.

[itcfish]

86. How about no mention by the WH

of the terror attack on the Mosque in Canada by a white supremacist???
