They hate and resent America UNLESS it mirrors their own pacifism and impotence.

Of course, if some little nothing Third World country like Argentina occupies the Falkland Islands, then their tune changes very quickly.

Raising the white flag is not the American way.

The Brits should be ashamed of their cowardly bowing down to terrorists, whether from the IRA or Islam.

Disgusting.

What a bunch of losers.

Well, they did the same thing with Hitler.

It seems to be a pattern with them.

Exactly.

Yes.

They'll have nobody to blame but themselves when their nation is uninhabitable for civilized people without $$$$$$.
Hopefully, the United States takes in the masses of British nationals that will surely be jumping ship in the near future because of their retarded government.
Well said.

But Obama only wants to let Muslims into this country, so the Brits will have to wait a while unless they are Muslim.

Wow! I'm impressed!

Quote:
Now imagine her standing next to the Clown Prince Trump. When that happens, I don't even need to stop and think about her resume to be reminded that she's the professional one and he's the pretender.
Trump built a great company and a multi-billion dollar fortune.

He has dealt with tough people all over the world.

Hillary is a shrill nag and hypocrite who thinks that flying all over the world is work.

She and her rapist husband are a disgrace to this country.

Now we're supposed to vote for her because she has a vagina and she trashed the poor women her husband abused.

Gross and sick.

She is nothing, she never has been anything, and God willing, she never will be anything but a footnote to the trash heap of history.

So true.

They appeased Hitler and we got dragged into WW II.

They divided up the Middle East in such a way as to guarantee that it would have religious and ethnic warfare forever, and now we're dealing with that.

They fought two wars against us and lost.

They've allowed themselves to be overrun by Muslim fanatics.

They are a joke.

I wouldn't be surprised if in the end he proved to be far more willing to compromise with the other side than the hardcore ideologists.
Exactly.

The Democrats claim to want the U.S. to "work things out" with our enemies.

Trump's forte is negotiation.

He is what they want, if they had half of a brain -- which they don't.

Quote:
Typically I'd be against any populist politician. And Trump's campaign is often a clownade. But a successful businessman should know a thing or two about negotiating, making compromises, finding common ground and having some basic management skills. Which automatically puts him above the last two clowns we had in the Oval Office.
Exactly.

And although I don't consider him a clown, he is entertaining and edgy.

"Edgy."

Another thing liberals claim to like.

But now they suddenly turn into uptight school marms because of Trump.

So funny.

They just defeat themselves at every opportunity, don't they?

No wonder they are such whiners.

Of course not.

And I got no response to my clarifications of Trump's positions on Muslim immigration (no more without proper vetting) and illegal aliens who commit crimes (which the libs called an attack on all Mexicans.)

The mental disease of liberalism apparently has no cure.

This petition is a little too extreme.

However, Brits are generally intelligent, witty, sensible and kind-hearted people. I'm not going to jump on the anti-British bandwagon just because they don't buy into what a reality-star-turned-polititian says. There are far more important issues in America that could be discussed.

I will watch with interest the results (but not the actual debates). I once watched a video of one of their debates and the words chaos and bedlam give an accurate description of what went on. So if you would be so kind to give an update. The local rag is short on international news.

If he gets elected, we'll be in sorry shape. He has been rejected by UK and Israel, our strongest allies, and we haven't even held the first primaries yet. The rest of the world has made clear they do not approve Trump.

You said the "Republican Party" condemned them. Meaning the Republican National Committee. It did not.
I didn't say anything about RNC, although they are also working hard to get rid of Trump. Many Republican representative have rejected his comments.

The Trump Organization warns United Kingdom that banning Donald Trump would be a mistake





Donald Trump is making good on his promise to "counterpunch" anyone who crosses him — even if it means taking on the entire United Kingdom. Following a scheduled debate in the British Parliament to discuss if Trump's presence in the U.K. would be "non-conducive to the public good," the Trump Organization has warned that if actions follow, they would have consequences, Fox News reports.


The United Kingdom's proposed Donald Trump ban arose after Trump's widely criticized call for a Muslim ban in the United States. British Prime Minister David Cameron has deemed Trump's proposal "divisive, unhelpful, and quite simply wrong." A petition circulating in the U.K. has earned more than 560,000 signatures calling for Trump to be turned away from Britain's borders.
Cameron must be a Hillary supporter. His rhetoric seems to echo hers. However, Cameron seems not to know much about U.S. law, or the authority of the President to limit or curtail completely the immigration of entire groups or classes of people:
Under 8 USC §1182: “Whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

No, it wouldn't be hilarious. It would be disturbing. It would be a very bad move on their part. And no, I doubt that Trump is "just extra pissy" over the loss of any wind farm permit. Trump is a smart man, and he doesn't let emotions get in the way of good judgement.

Only a matter of time before they beg for us to save they're sorry a**es again along with the French. I just can't imagine what happened to the British, they ruled most of the world with an iron fist at one time. I don't think ther are enough skinheads and soccer hooligans to save her now. Shame.

Hopefully not Hillary. I would take Donald Trump any day, over anyone that the Democrats are currently offering. We've already had enough of the "progressive (Marxist/socialist)" destruction of our country. Trump vows restoration. He is a breath of fresh air.

My personal preference at this point, however, is Ted Cruz. Maybe a Cruz/Trump ticket? But I would take a Trump/Cruz ticket also.

Almost anyone is better than another Democrat socialist monkey.
