Then again the US did attack Whitehaven in Cumbria in England in 1778 under the Command of founder of the US Navy John Paul Jones. Although to be honest Whitehaven near the Lake District was hardly strategically important and a number of the Americans who landed at the Old Quay slip, just headed straight to the pub, and had a good drink. The US Navy did secure the pub and it's surrounds for several hours.

Killing the messenger, is all they have left. Take pity, for they are about to embark on a downhill journey, that no one would wish on their worst enemy.

It's backstabber city in the White House but the biggest source of information is Trump himself. I have no doubt Trump said such childish things to Trudeau in response to Trudeau saying something along the lines of "just how are we a security threat to the United States". The country needs to start sending Tiny Fists pacifiers and disposable diapers. Wait until he's at the next global summit when he has no friends but Russia and China. Of course, that's the way Trump wants it.
LOL.

Links?

From now on back up your claims with specific and real stories.

And don't post the same old tired ones where CNN or a reporter apologizes for an error and clearly sets the record straight.

It's the same with folks calling Faux News -- from now on -- own it and back it up.

Even if not true, it is something he would say. This is not a very intelligent, educated person we are discussing. That is the problem.

"Didn't you guys burn down the White House?"

What is really significant (to me at least) about the anecdotal story is not whether it is true or not, but that people are able to believe it about him.

To historians that would be a key insight into the man as known by the general public.
