If you bought a race horse who crapped itself out the gate and then just ran in circles, would you keep telling people what a thoroughbred it was. He won the presidency and now is doing a piss poor job. I don't get people who feel the need to defend a pos just because they voted for him.


P.s. I think and have always though Hillary is a complete turd...

They never cared whether he was going to be any good as long as he berated minorities like right here. Obviously it didn't matter whether he was a serial molester or not so it's all whatev's to them.

Let me be clear. An increase in law enforcement presence out on the streets after a very public terrorist attack, no matter what a local official says, is cause for alarm. It is a message that says "there are more out here, and we are looking for them." Once a local official says do not be alarmed, you should probably be doubly aware of your surroundings.

A normal police presence, again for me, is what I'm used to seeing. A massively increased police presence tends to be an obvious and increased number of uniformed law enforcement, equipment, movement, speed of movement, portable street-level officer radio chatter, vehicle types and vehicles in general.

I get your point of logic, but I also believe you are being somewhat disingenuous as most locals in any given area can tell the difference between a normal amount of law enforcement and a massive increase in police presence.
Not it's not, it reassures people in many ways. Would you rather have a 1000 cops manning the street trying to prevent another van/truck/bus mowing down people, or 100 cops salvaging the debris after the fact?

Granted I haven't had personal interactions with some of the British folks, distant relatives &/or friends, recently but online they don't seem to mind greater level of security & scrutiny on the streets. This especially after an attack, or multiple attacks, is common sense in most parts of the world. Then again on the one hand you have the police state in the US & yet (some) people say more cops are bad after such a tragedy?

Just imagine the response from the US if after 9/11 Tony Blair gave Giuliani shit about ignoring the dangerous repercussions of backing dictators or the unfair effects of American consumerism downrange. EL OH EL.

They played our national anthem from Buckingham FFS, then followed us to war on bullshit manipulated intel!

I'm so ashamed of these banana republican assholes and the sociopath they follow.

And they're devastated that you're ashamed, I assure you.

We already know your kind have no shame; no need to beat that dead horse, it's already been pulverized into a fine glue already. Hell's gonna need to add annexes to hold the lot of you people in a few decades when you all finally get what you've been wishing for so long...

They don't defend him because they voted for him, they defend him because they agree with his policies, statements and actions.

Does anyone here, think there is no cause for Alarm..?

In that radical London'ers are attacking & killing their neighbors, in the name of their Religion.

If you think that is normal, you should be investigated for sowing unrest and creating a false narrative that is unpatriotic. Aiding a shadow state.

This is the UK. Not to downplay it, but I wouldn't call this totally abnormal, either. I know that you are young, naive, and proudly stupid about most things, but are you familiar with the IRA and their history?

Since they were white and Christian are member of the IRA freedom fighters or just mentally ill? Hopefully some of our members who always bring out those as reasons when a white guy commits a terrorist act will be able to give us the answer.

Is this "get over it" 2.0?

Yes, he's literally trying to shame people for possessing a sense of shame, presumably playing up his own macho strength due to lack of any. Clearly what american conservatives aspire to, and I say that with zero hyperbole.
