BOOM!
“What was that?!”
“I dunno, but I can tell you one thing — it certainly wasn’t a terrorist!”
“Oh, no, of course not. Goes without saying.”

“Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”

They needed a pivot man for the hot tub.

“Not that there’s anything wrong with that, either.”

Maybe Graham is going as the representative of cross dressers who claim to be transgendered. There IS something wrong with that!

Muslim extremist “workplace accident”?

...

They have to do something while the British taxpayers are out working to pay for their upkeep.

I wonder if any religions “of peace’ were involved?

Civil war by this summer... I can see it

Wouldn’t a “massive” explosion have demolished the entire structure?

"Massive" = headline grabber, click-bait. (see "scary black assault-type gun thingy")

Probably just a bomb assembly mishap, like the one below:

During a training demonstration at a terrorist camp north of Baghdad on Monday, a commander from the Islamic State, formerly known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, accidentally detonated a belt packed with explosives, killing himself and 21 trainees.

Glad it wasn’t at the Tower of London. I wonder if it was some muzzie yute playing at making bombs again.

Trump’s fault. The mayor warned folks about that.
