Here’s an idea. Remove any statues or other symbols of islam, mosques included.

I hear it is Donald Trump himself. Went over there to do some driving. Mounted the sidewalk. And killed some people. Yep. Donald Trump I tell ya.

And Bannon, Miller and Gorka were with Trump. Gorka was working the GPS.

See Drudge’s headline is an attack on Bannon, while he ignores a terrorist attack. Put a faggot on a Christmas tree, he’s still a Faggot.

Ostensibly they were an ally but Franco was pretty savvy in staying out of the fray. If they had been a full fledged Axis combatant it could have changed the Mediterranean theater significantly. They kept the Germans supplied with tungsten during the war.

Do they not get newspapers in Barcelona?

How can any city have a pedestrian arcade that does not have bollards in place to restrict vehicular traffic?

This is basic traffic safety.

Looks like just more routine muslim terrorism.

Daily Mail reported: "The civil guard has said the van used in the attack was rented by a man named Driss Oukabir (pictured), in the town of Santa Perpetua de la Mogada, El Pais reports"

It is a long street with a lot of stores. Trucks have to get in to make deliveries and haul trash.
