A refugee is thought to have been behind the wheel of a 25-tonne articulated lorry which mowed down and killed nine people - and injured 45 others - as it sped at 40mph through a busy Christmas market in Berlin.
As German police, the White House and the German Interior Minister indicated the incident was terror related, ISIS moved quickly to claim responsibility for the fatal attack.
The vehicle laden with steel cargo mounted the pavement before tearing through stalls and shoppers in the market on Breitscheidplatz Square, outside the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in the German capital's main shopping area.

The media is already all over this, that's how you know it's part of their agenda. More outrage against Muslims especially since it was done in a Christmas market by ISIS. Another planned event to make people react negatively and thus keep us divided.
It's tragic that people died, my thoughts are with them and their families.
I'm really starting to like you. You are awake on a level most are not capable of anymore, though I blame "The system" slightly more than the citizens. Divide, distract, and conquer. Never seems to fail. Cheers to your good instincts!

It's funny. People go on about the "MSM," and their "fake news," yet anytime something that happens that fits ones' narrative it's suddenly out of the window.
"Conservatives" want to ban/kill all Muslims although they're killed more by IS than any other group. # the Constitution, I be scurred of the scary brown people and the gubment needs to save me!
"Liberals" want to ban all firearms although you're more likely to be killed in a car wreck (you're also more likely to be killed by a gun than a terrorist, a police officer than a terrorist... how ironic). # the Consitution, I be scurred of big black scary GUNZ and the gubment needs to take care of me!
Unfortunately, neither "liberals," nor "conservatives," can see past their own partisanship and constantly demonize "the other side," while promoting "their side."
Thing is, neither of these groups are actually Conservative nor Liberal. They're authoritarians who want the State to legislate things that they don't agree with/things that scare them.
This year has proven something to me - Republicans and Democrats are THEE greatest threat to American freedom and democracy. From tongue in cheek comments about "civil war," to outright banning # AND people because they don't agree with it.
# freedom, it's scary is basically what I hear with all the Unconsitutional talks from BOTH sides of the aisle.
I agree with all your opinions above. Almost all partisan bickering is done by design and well implemented imho. The rest is built in, as with any rivalry. The elite understand human psychology very well, and are likely helped by many years of influencing it on ever increasing levels. I hope one of their big mistakes is underestimating those who seek to expose and destroy their agendas.

Seems like somewhere in the middle seems comfortable?
I don't agree with kill/ban all Muslim thing that conservatives are supposedly for. And don't see much evidence for it.
Obama did make some empty threats about doing this or that about guns, but his heart didn't seem like it was in it.
Do you see the same things?
I see her as more of a deer in headlights right now, but most of the establishment is still fighting for her right now. Too invested, too much to lose, oh so close to some master plan? Who knows. They haven't completely given up yet but any aces left would be beyond reasonable comprehension. I didn't vote Trump, don't have alot of hope in him,but at least its not Hillary and I do hope he somehow makes positive changes. On a fake news front, I did hear Monica Lewinsky was caught making out with his wife in a Trump Tower Elevator.

I still find it hard to believe that HRC lost. I still think she is going to crash the inauguration and declare herself the king of the everything and start talking nonsense.
