What does Trump have against the Mayor of London... Oh wait, he's a Muslim

[mikeymikec]

LOL @ underoo's daily spew:

"beloved patriot mayor of London has..."
then
"being against multiculturalism and talking is now a hate crime. I can't take this place anymore."

Anyone get the feeling that what he posts here is the tip of the iceberg?

He's a true belieber.

I hope they cancel it. We sure don't want that ignorant fuck in this country.

Yup. It's not like he was in any way popular over here even before his recent twitter tirade.

 

[J.Wilkins]

Oh he doesn't care...he's just happy that the Troll-in-Chief is trolling liberals and multiculturals on an epic global scale. If these types ever spent a brain cell considering policy and how it affects them, they'd realize that the same politicos and pundits they idolize have been f**cking them over in ways worse than liberals could ever dream of.

I don't think Trump is a troll though, he seems genuinely incompetent and completely unwilling to ever accept that he can be wrong. The problem with that attitude is that the ignorance will persist until his dying day.

Ideologies are strange things, they can make you rationalize away your own self preservation instincts and leave you the fool that argues against his own interests.

 

[J.Wilkins]

Oh no, not "the world!"

I don't know what to do with this reply other than to ignore it. Incoherency is not a debate technique you know.

Trump's behaviour on this is abominable. He's crazily attacking the mayor of the capital of an allied country that has just suffered a terror attack. He's an embarrassment to the US.

The only question in my mind is whether it's deliberately calculated, or if it's just that Trump gets his view of world events solely from Fox News, and genuinely doesn't realise he's gotten things factually wrong (and is too pig-headed and narcissitic to realise it). Edit - or, third option, that he's predjudiced against Muslims to the point of derangement.

(And I'm not exactly a fan of Khan in general - he's done next-to-nothing about London's pollution problem - but he's done nothing wrong in relation to this attack)

I'll see if I can dig up the article on this I read. The initial series of deranged tweets came in lockstep with the Fox & Friends morning show. Literally responding to things they were discussing on the show. Imagine your average low-information far-right senior who watches the sort of tripe Fox peddles, with a degree of dementia/senility setting in. Talking to their television their reaction to the content, hooting and hollering. In this case it is the President of the United States, and his hoots and hollers are being sent out over Twitter.

The ridiculousness and absurdity of it is hard to really put to words. It's a total shit-show is the phrase I always feel labels it best.

National Embarrassment in Chief.

Nope. Im damn proud to have a president in charge with balls instead of a snowflake leftist like many in this forum who are more concerned with the feelings of others than doing things like actually protecting Gods greatest country on Earth.

Oh, and Im watching Fox and Friends right now...

Because insulting those who should be your allies when they are suffering is a great way to protect your country, right?

I would hope that May's failure to condemn Trump for this will count against her in the election. Boris, to his credit, has at least stood up for the UK here, and I'm sure Cameron would have done so. But May really is a hopeless PM, and her inability to stand up to Trump I'm sure has not gone unnoticed.

The irony, for me, is that May's weakness is similar to (though much greater than) Khan's - a lack of strong principles and a tendency towards timeserving. A principled PM would be putting real distance from a flawed personality like Trump.

Your comment reads like a template-produced string of cliches, by the way. The (other) irony being of course that if anyone fits the notion of 'snowflake' it's your thin-skinned President.

It's truly sad when a large part of the population is pro-fuckourallies.

No worries, I'm sure his ratings are just going to skyrocket now. /s

I've come to the conclusion that the trolls we have on this board are not in fact conservatives, but are normal, rational human beings working in their own (if misguided) way to discredit Trump supporters as a whole. The intent seems to be to rally the rational side of our community, and for that I thank them.

So thank you, wacky-fake-conservative-Trump-supporters! I'd tip my hat to you if I had a hat.

This might be a troll attempt or sarcasm. You need to work on that a bit because either becomes weakened if you don't appreciate the art. 4/10, sorry.

Been hanging out at some unrelated boards to see what's going on with different groups. What you see is nothing, really nothing. There are real people who want one thing and that is to protect and empower Trump, if it horrifically maimed the nation. They aren't kidding when they say Putin is our friend because he'll defeat the Commie Dems. Yep, the KGB guy and the Commie Dems.

Needs some more over the top-ness.

 

[brandonbull]

Remember that time when the British PM publicly ridiculed the mayor of Boston after the marathon bombings?

Neither do I.

Remember the time when the Mayor of Boston tried to tell the British PM how to govern England?

 

[brycejones]

Remember the time when the Mayor of Boston tried to tell the British PM how to govern England?

Remember that time you said something intelligent here?

Neither do I.

 

[Genx87]

This shows a level of maturity the twitter n chief lacks. He, the president of the United States is going head to head with a Mayor. He is willingly dropping his status down several notches because he cant let it go.

Hi, deflection, how are you?

The President offered no sympathy and instead attacked London's mayor like an 8-year-old child. There is no excuse for this. The only intelligent response is to condemn Trump.

It's kind of fascinating though, isn't it? I mean, anyone can just look at what the Mayor said and realize that Trump is wrong but Trump not only persists in denying reality but doubles down on it.

You have to wonder if he's just taking the piss or if he actually believes that he is correct.

Unfortunately, that part is up to interpretation by people who think the way he does.

And yes, I'm confident he believes he's correct.

He cant be wrong. Like a giant child\snowflake. It is amazing to me. Most people if they realize they are wrong and wont own up to it will at least let it go.

And the Mayor is dragging POTUS. Bigly.

Just a point of logic wouldn't you be alarmed if there was less of a police presence after a terrorist attack?

Good point.

I tend to be a bit of a realist, or alarmist, depending on your point of view.

If there is a normal police presence after a terrorist attack (which is what I assume you meant), then chances are it was an isolated nutjob. They check stuff out, they swarm, they gather information, they leave when they are done and the streets go back to normal. That is a how police run a typical investigation.

If there is a massively increased police presence on the streets after a terrorist attack, to the point where a local politician tells me "do not be alarmed", then I just assume politicians are doing what they always do: Lie.

Basically, they know there are more organized terrorists out there, so they are mobilizing all resources to get them (as they should). Maybe they are telling the truth, but I believe only a simpleton would assume this. It costs nothing to be alarmed and alert, but the rewards are enormous.

When seconds count, even the best police are minutes away.

I guess it could be summed up as this:

Whenever there is an massively increased police presence on the streets, as a rule, citizens should be alarmed and on watch... that is, if they value their lives or freedom.
