They also listed clear murder cases (Australia - Queensland) or cases where murder is possible (Germany - Hamburg). How much more evidence is necessary to get the point this precidency is lying to everyone.
Take the list as it is. Subtract the incidents that happened in places like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Tunisia. While not the "front lines" in the "War on Terror", they can easily be considered to be in the "combat zone" and thus count as military actions and not terror attacks. Especially the beheading....
Subtract all those where no one was killed. There's no real reason for those to get anything more than a passing note in the national news.
How many are left? Not a lot......
Oh, some further thoughts on our slide into autocracy. Vox's Ezra Klein responds to David Frum:
"There is nothing about the Trump administration that should threaten America’s system of government. The Founding Fathers were realistic about the presence and popularity of demagogues. The tendency of political systems to slip into autocracy weighed heavily on their minds. That power corrupts, and that power can be leveraged to amass more power, was a familiar idea. The political system the founders built is designed to withstand these pressures, and to a large extent, it has.
"So why, then, are we surrounded by articles worrying over America’s descent into fascism or autocracy? There are two reasons, and Trump is, by far, the less dangerous of them.
"But what Frum imagines is not an autocracy. It is what we might call a partyocracy — a quasi-strongman leader empowered only because the independently elected legislators from his party empower him. The crucial sentence in Frum’s account is this one: "As politics has become polarized, Congress has increasingly become a check only on presidents of the opposite party."
"Donald Trump is a paper tiger. But the US Congress is a tiger that we pretend is made of paper. It is, at this point, taken for granted that congressional Republicans will protect their co-partisan at any cost. It is, at this point, expected that they will confirm Trump’s unqualified nominees, ignore his obvious conflicts of interest, overlook his dangerous comments, and rationalize his worst behavior.
"That expectation — and the cowardice it permits — is the real danger to American democracy.
Klein claims that Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) is the person we really should be worried about. He's the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee - the committee tasked with investigating corruption and malfeasance in the Federal government. The bulldog who wouldn't let go of Benghazi, Planned Parenthood, or Clinton's e-mails.
"Last week, Chaffetz released the House Oversight Committee’s agenda for the next two years. It lists 43 items — none of which involve Donald Trump. Actually, that’s not quite right. Chaffetz does intend to investigate the Office of Government Ethics, which Republicans believe has been too outspoken in its concern over Trump’s conflicts of interest.
"So here, then, is Chaffetz after the 2016 election: planning investigations into those raising the alarm over Trump’s conflicts of interest, rather than actually investigating Trump’s conflicts of interest.
"It is Chaffetz’s job, more than it is anyone else’s, to hold Trump accountable, to demand that he govern in a transparent and ethical manner. And he has the power to do it. He can subpoena administration officials and Trump’s business associates. He can make sure the media and the public have much of the information Trump refuses to release, and he can make it costly for Trump to abandon longstanding norms around transparency, divestment, and governance. The American political system is prepared for the sort of challenge Trump represents, and there are corrective powers in place.
"But the wielder of those corrective powers must want to use them. And Chaffetz doesn’t. His identity as a Republican supersedes his identity as chair of the House Oversight Committee, or even as congressman from Utah’s third district.
"....the crucial question — the question on which much of American democracy hinges — is not what Trump does. It is what Congress does. The danger posed by Trump is one that America’s political system is built to protect against. But the officials charged with its protection need to take their role seriously.
"In the end, it is as simple as this: The way to stop an autocracy is to have Congress do its damn job.
