You don't know what vast means, do you?

You want to argue that 16,000 gun deaths vs 285 knife deaths line up? That there isn't a far bigger issue in this country that the Orange Shit Gibbon should be focused on?

285 is for London. That is pretty comparable to New York's homicide number and they two cities are pretty close in overall population, no?

That's for all of England and Wales, not London alone.

in 2017 London had a total of 116 homicides, all methods. NY had 290.

Gotcha, I searched and saw a number of 730+ but that is all homicides, not just knife homicides in England and Wales.

At any rate, my comment and stance is consistent. I don't think we should lose rights to try and fix gun homicides nor do I think we should lose rights to combat terror. Especially when no one cares about much bigger killers, like alcohol or tobacco and further limiting rights.

No. But your dickhead of a president should look at the problems in his own backyard before trying to tell London what they have a problem with. The rest of the world just laughs at him every time because we all know what the reality is.

Trump should focus more on America and not twitter fights, I agree. That said, knife crime seems to be surging in London. Why he engages in trolls like Khan, I don't know. I agree with you though, our house isn't in order enough that we should be complaining about others in the neighborhood. But, to be honest, Trump bickering on twitter with the mayor of London really doesn't mean anything one way or another for America. Most of what Trump does seems to be good policy for our country, so I'll let his twitter battles slide as long as we're moving in the right direction, that's the bottom line for me.

You're not moving in the right direction. In anything. You're actually teetering on a precipice just waiting for the wind to blow you over. That's what his policies have done.

I disagree, I think we're stronger and better positioned than just about any time in our lifetimes.

Wait, is this another one of those cases where Trump specifically targets a leader because he is black/brown/muslim and but of course it's not because Trump is racist?


I think it is because he's the mayor of London and was critical of Trump. Not sure if you've noticed or not, but Trump complains about many people on Twitter and engages with many people. They're not all brown. But, you go ahead and manufacture that racism, it is what your type does these days. Make that bogeyman to fight, go get 'em.

Slow will say anything to defend the Donald, the Precious. Distract, duh-vert, stand on his head naked & jerk off for the camera, whatever it takes. God forbid anybody should see the absurdity of it all.

He's become tedious & boring. They really should rotate the assignments at the troll factory.

No, I won't. He's not perfect at all. But, I am tired of watching liberals manufacture racism out of thin air. No wonder they think it is everywhere... they create most of it!

Being that the majority of domestic terrorist attacks are carried out by radical right wing white males, Slow, please get help. Facts are facts, you're statistically more likely to end up being a terrorist than just about any other demographic in the US.

Sadiq Khan sounds terroristy.
Gawd, Yes. This is what Khan went on to say after the quip about golf-

Khan also took aim at the U.S. president for emboldening racists to speak out from the fringes of society.

“These people have been inspired by mainstream politicians who subscribe to their point of view,” Khan said. Trump “is a guy who amplifies racist tweets; amplifies the tweets of fascists; says things that are deeply objectionable. If I don’t stand up and call that out I think I’m doing a disservice to Londoners who chose me as their mayor.”

I'm sure he's a real racist, too, not the Donald, the Precious. Why, he's leading us in the right direction!

Yeh, right. America will be ripping her own throat out if Trump & his Russian friends have their way with us.

I wonder if Khan tweeted out insults of Baltimore, USA, would Trump's bigbrain seize in a mind breaking logic loop?

No, because no matter how much somebody else flip-flops he always has some fucked up way to rationalize it in his own head. Thats the joy of being brainwashed by Fox News, you never actually have to think for yourself and its very liberating. No moral or ethical quandries, no logical fallacies, nothing to make you actually question yourself or force critical thinking.
He thinks Kim Jong Un loves him even though theres absolutely no reason for it.
