[BurtReynolds]

[Strat]

Ugh. These asshats can't bring the world down can they?

[nyquillyn]

over/under on Bill Maher being a trending topic very soon?

Looks like his show is just about to air on the East Coast! Is it live or taped these days?

[Kaius]

I live in the Midwest with it's high concentration of guns to people, so I'm positive my family and I will get gunned down within the first few weeks if sh*t hits the fan.

Still live.

[LoathedVermin72]

Also, everyone relax. This isn't starting an apocalypse.

[BurtReynolds]

[Kaius]

I'm pretty calm. The U.S. east coast will not be easy to breach.

I pointed this out on twitter and took a little shit for it.. but during events like this, it seems like the Fox News Coverage tends to be the most focused on known facts, and statements. A lot less speculation than CNN and to a lesser extent, MSNBC.

That was not the case in the past. It seemed to change with the Boston bombings. But it was never this bad before.

"This is clearly ISIS trying to expand it's reach into Europe."

"They were trying to send a message about denying refugees."

Ugh.

CNN really bottomed out in Boston. It was despicable.

[Mecca]

poor mecca.

a bit selfish, but one of my first thoughts was "glad i left paris 2 weeks ago"

[dimejinky99]

New York Times has lifted its pay wall if that's any better than your other sources.

ISIS statement:

Eight brothers carrying explosive belts and guns targeted areas in the heart of the French capital that were specifically chosen in advance: the Stade de France during a match against Germany which that imbecile François Hollande was attending; the Bataclan where hundreds of idolaters were together in a party of perversity as well as other targets in the 10th, 11th and 18th arrondissement. France and those who follow its path must know that they remain the principle targets of the Islamic State.

I don't think he needed to insult the president like that.

It made it sound like Daffy Duck wrote it.

I'm guessing other European countries are gonna join Russia now. What kind of fucking world do we live in where a shitbag like Assad is our best option.
