Donald Trump wasted little time trying to capitalize on the Istanbul terrorist attack. He thinks more waterboarding and torture could have prevented the bombing. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola (ThinkTank), hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Donald Trump responded to the deadly bombings that ripped through Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport on Tuesday with renewed calls for torture.
“We can’t do waterboarding but they can do chopping off heads, drowning people in steel cages, they can do whatever they want to do,” Trump told attendees at a St. Clairsville, Ohio rally. “You know, you have to fight fire with fire.”
At least 36 people were killed and over 140 were wounded in multiple suicide bombings at one of the world’s busiest airports. Turkish officials have said Islamic State fighters were likely responsible for the attack.
“Folks, there’s something going on that’s really really bad,” Trump said at the rally. “All right? It’s bad. And we better get smart and we better get tough or we’re not going to have much much a country left, okay? It’s bad. Terrible.””*

… my words, like silent raindrops fell, no one dared disturb the sound of silence.
I grieve for what America has become and what is about to happen. The pro Trump side utterly hates and detests Hillary. They are convinced that it is the end of the world if she gets in. And this pro Hillary side is just as despising of Trump, down to the same preference to using photos of Trump that make him look as ugly as possible. Just like the other side chooses any way to make Hillary look grotesque and ugly. Each group lives in its own world Where they do not use the same news sources mostly, and do not communicate with each other other than in strong adversarial ways. There is almost no dialog based on reason and evidence. Each side uses their own version of reality to judge and condemn the other side. No matter who wins, there will be big trouble. Those who wished to destroy this country have all but succeeded. At this point no matter who wins, the whole thing looks to go up in a horrible conflagration. The Trump side will not tolerate any more loss of freedom. And your side will try to take their wealth from them if you continue to hold power. Sorry, I don’t want any part of this dance you two are about to do in America. I am out of here! Enjoy your lesson in reality and socialist paradise. I will pass on this one.
