Easter Sunday bomb attacks kill more than 200 at Sri Lankan churches, hotels Seven people were arrested and three officers were killed during a raid on a house in Colombo on Sunday as police sought those behind a rash of bombings at churches and hotels in Sri Lanka that killed more than 200 people, police and local media said. "Altogether we have information of 207 dead from all hospitals. According to the information, as of now we have 450 injured people admitted to hospitals," police spokesperson Ruwan Gunasekera told reporters in Colombo. Those killed included more than 30 foreigners, following the near simultaneous and co-ordinated explosions that struck three churches and three luxury hotels, in one of the deadliest blasts in the country's history, government officials said. Three of the blasts targeted St. Anthony's Church in Colombo, St. Sebastian's Church in the western coastal town of Negombo and another, the Zion church in the eastern town of Batticaloa around 8.45 a.m. local time as the Easter Sunday mass was in progress, a police spokesperson said. Three other explosions were reported from the five-star hotels — the Shangri-La, the Cinnamon Grand and the Kingsbury in Colombo. Foreigners and locals who were injured in hotel blasts were admitted to the Colombo General Hospital. www.cbc.ca/news/world/sri-lanka-church-hotel-explosions-1.5105883

In the face of the tens of thousands of Trump lies, the daily patter of Trump 4th grade reading level tweets, and the hundreds, if not thousands, of trump gaffes and mis-speaks, you are really going to carry this like a torch? Good luck then! Obama knew the difference between a hamburger and hamberder. trump clearly didn't. I bet trump doesn't even know the 'oranges' , aka birthplace, of the hamburger in the U.S. too.

And now Obama & Hillary are getting flack from the conservative talking heads cause they said "Easter worshippers" instead of Christians. Is this all there is to worry about in this country? DT didn't say Christians either....so there!

DT didn't say Christians either....so there! BFD. Like everyone that celebrates Easter goes to Church or is a Christian. My kids were brought up Christian, but they can count on one hand the number of times they attended an Easter Service. Same goes for a Christmas Service, and if they were in Church any other time of the year, chances are someone in the family was Celebrating a Sacrament.
I was disenchanted with the Church when my kids were in grade school. Nothing has changed on that front.
I have sympathy for the Worshipers from Sri Lanka, but as far as the Moral Authority of Christians. Given their Blind Support of Trump, their Moral Authority is gone.

DT didn't say Christians either....so there! So let's see: if see if you are HRC or BHO and you say happy holidays at year's end you are wrong and a heathen because it is CHRISTMAS you "stoopid idjuts".
Similarly, if you are HRC or BHO and you use the name of the holiday (Easter) you are "stoopid idjuts" because you did not mention the christians...
So if you are HRC or BHO the stoopid idjuts conservative talking heads will give you (and all your bleeding heart liberal ilk) flack because you "ARE" ... cue Descartes and thinking...
