You miss all those protests in DC and around the country that have happened since Trump?

Also, we have this thing called "voting", so if people do not like someone, they will not vote for them in the election.

Anyway, I do not care if another country likes the president or any US politician. And keeping with the thread subject, yes, little to no protests over dictators visiting the UK. Trump visits? OMG, lets all run and protest.

I asked on a couple of threads now; what are they protesting about?

The Brits can’t even agree about Brexit and many government officials have resigned in the last month.

Americans are not even safe in England so think twice and Croatia and other former Eastern Block countries like Hungary are way nicer to visit and more safe!

Let the Brits admire dictators and see how long they will love their hate for a good person. I feel very offended by the actions of the mayor of London and will not travel there until he is gone!
A lot of the people reporting on the crowds say they were anti-capitalists

I disagree, being the well accomplished con-man he is requires a certain amount of skills.

The Precious Little Snowflakes and their followers are really asking for it. They continue to push, and push, and push, and push the envelope with their ever escalating taunts, goading, and daring, trying to see just how big of A-holes they can really be.


Sooner or later, the Right is going to finally decide they've had enough and fire back a retaliatory shot and it's going to be Kent State all over again. And then of course the little Snowflakes will sit there, play dumb, feign ignorance, and weep about being "poor innocent victims". Again.


All of this can be summed up into a 30 second video that's out there. Perhaps you've seen it.


It shows what is supposed to be an underground UFC type fight between a US Marine and some other dude.


The smaller guy is acting incredibly obnoxious, dancing in the face of the Marine, and just being a belligerent little punk.


The Marine just stands there, waiting patiently and when he sees his chance, knocks the punk out cold in one punch.


Keep it up Snowflakes. That's going to be you. You're going to be unconscious on the ground and never know what hit you.
You are a fine example of what is thought about Americans. You just can't laugh at yourselves. Everything is so serious. Look, Donald is lashing out at everybody. He insulted our PM in a newspaper interview just yesterday. Do we take offence? Nope. We fly a baby trump blimp.......

He is a nut case, Really one sandwich short of a picnic. So, as you guys seem to take him so seriously, if he comes to England, then he is going to get laughed at. If ya don't like it, tough ti**y.

But what are they protesting about? The protests and the balloon were planned long before any NATO and UK comments he made.

It seems the British are the ones taking Trump seriously, they are the ones out there protesting over...whatever it is.

Still haven't moved on past the Hillary defeat. That's what's REALLY at the root of all this. Nothing more. Nothing less. Period.

Sure, I get it, they do not like Trump, well, I am sure they probably do not like a lot of people, yet do not take the time of day to protest them. But again, protesting because why? What exactly, like an exact reason, are they protesting? And is that reason really worth all this effort? I can think of dozens and dozens, hell hundreds, of policies, regulations, laws, etc, that I disagree with. But I am not out protesting hours a day over them, it would be ridiculous for me to over every little thing I dislike.
Great post.

From what I'm reading, many Brits are embarrassed by the balloon, as well they should be. It's an insult to millions upon millions of Americans. I would be embarrassed as an American if we pulled a similar stunt on a visiting world leader.

I don't know to tell you the truth boxus.......... I sure hope they know why........

I haven't seen any being interviewed on the telly saying what they dislike about Donald.

Most people couldn't care less about him. Probably just the kiddies protesting who are out of school for the summer now.

Some like him here in England........
