We here at Twitchy write our own headlines, but more often than not, that job goes to a person other than the one who wrote the piece. So while Frank Figliuzzi, former assistant director for counterintelligence at the FBI, touches on some good points in his opinion piece for NBC News, there’s no getting around this tweet:
Opinion | Americans must prepare for a future where terror is routine https://t.co/3Gw90ec5wJ via @NBCNewsTHINK pic.twitter.com/pzVkl2TaDb

That sounds an awful lot like admitting defeat, and people aren’t having it.
Stuff your opinion where the sun don't shine. It will NEVER be routine. #MAGA ?? https://t.co/ss5220YZVn

We’ll admit, we prefer that attitude to this one:
… Today, the White House is already calling for even more stringent constraints on immigration policy. Taken to its illogical extreme, this approach to counterterrorism will preclude anyone from anywhere from entering the U.S. if any of their fellow nationals has ever committed a terror act. That’s not who we are.
Funny how often people these days use “That’s not who we are” to wrap up their arguments to do essentially nothing. How about this: Sitting ducks for terrorists is not who we are.

I will not accept a future of terrorism. I will do everything in my power to make sure my children and others are safe. https://t.co/bwAXtpRP6Q

Under no circumstances should we live with terrorism as a norm. This is an irresponsible opinion piece. https://t.co/3EAqz8pC2N

The 2nd Amendment says we don't have to accept that future. https://t.co/sPyB6dEImk

Most of this could have been avoided if the 1965 immigration act never happened. https://t.co/vEh77bzgUx

Weird how when there's a shooting we need to ban guns, but when there's a terror attack we just need to deal with it. https://t.co/WMvliQCyWx

I honestly thought this was a joke. THIS is what's wrong with Liberals. They want us to live like the Europeans..under seige from terrorists https://t.co/LJehgEzCiB

They are conditioning us. They are normalizing & excusing the jihad. The 5-P professionals: press, politicians, police, prosecutors, profs. https://t.co/GSOgjmoWvh

Or, here's a thought: we stop the terrorists from entering, and kill any that we find here. https://t.co/hVn4bvCIB3

There's nothing inevitable about this. It is the result of an ideology and disastrous policies https://t.co/tdVm8gy3wi

Better to normalize brutal carnage against innocents than have an honest discussion about the problem. https://t.co/wImGF7on7t

Somehow terrorism is the only thing these people are fine with just accepting as a reality of life. https://t.co/ykvP8NIbr0
