How awful, those poor people in Brussels

I turned on the tv and the newspeople are already discussing Trump's reaction, talking about how this changes our political debate and it's like... can we not, for once, co-opt some other country's tragedy to score points in our own politics? Jesus Christ America, not everything is about us.

I'm in AZ and our primary is today. On our local Fox channel (the "journalists" and anchors here always seem to be okay w/showing their Repub bias) pissed me off so bad.
