Yet it was the President of the United States who attacked the London Mayor - right after his citizens had died as a result of a terror attack.

Trump pulled that first punch and leaders ALL OVER THE WORLD thought it was inappropriate. As do the real patriots of the USA - those that oppose this bumbling, stumbling fool current squatting in the WH.

Sometimes it seems like the people screeching about how they don't have to be PC are using it as an excuse to be exactly that - douchebags.

What's that saying--never pass up a chance to exploit a tragedy for political gain? Trump has shown he will even throw our allies under the bus as long as it allows him to score points with his deplorable cult. He is a disgrace to all decent people in the world, and the world agrees.
uhm... many said this was bush's fault...and/or Giuliani

the then Italian PM said 'inside job'



so please enough with the false outrage

The RWNJ's have always preferred hysteria.

And Trump just plays right into their fears. Get them all worked up.

Time to open that ice skating rink in Hades, because we agree on something. Are you ready to perhaps even place some blame on Trump?

First you complain about no evidence being presented regarding a well-covered news story, then you dump a stinker of an unsupported assertion like that. Cute.

Whilst I expect gun crime to go down, as this is not a good time to carry a gun in London, and you may not live to tell the tale if you do.

In terms of London's police, there are 32,125 Police officers full time police officers in the Metropolitan, a further 1,626 Police Community Support Officers (PCSO's) and 3,271 part time Special Constables.

The City of London Police has a further 700 full-time police officers, 61 special constables and 15 police community support officers.

The British Transport Police Headquarters in Camden in London has393 police officers, 10 Special Constables and 946 civilian staff. Whilst B Division of the British Transport Police also based mainly in London and which polices the London Underground and London Rail Stations has a further 1444 police officers, 101 Special Constables and 191 PCSOs.

So London has similar policing levels to NYC and has other agencies such as the National Crime Agency, Security Service (MI5), Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), National Cyber Security Centre etc which all have their Headquarters in London.

an attack happens in London, and what does khan do...he blames the PM

then he states it "just part of city living"

and Khan isn't innocent in the twitter world either:
As for Khan he probably has met despots and undesirable people from some nations but then again so has the Queen, the Prime Minister and US Politicans including the President, indeed Trump was just with the Saudi's last month. Whist in terms of Trump's on-line dispute with the London Mayor, this is hardly the time to start tweeting anything beyond the fact that the US fully supportS the people of London, Manchester and Britain.

Which circles right back to the idea that trump's tweets were terribly inappropriate, and not worthy of the position he holds. Unfortunately, it appears that no trump supporter would ever admit that. If they had, this thread would have been very, very short. Bigly SAD!

Yes he doesnt need to point towards the disastrous results of liberal policies. We can read the news & know exactly how Europe is being invaded & systematically destroyed. No need to point the obvious. If their leaders & people are getting used to the new normal, why do you have to push western concepts like democracy, equality & freedom on third world European countries.

Sure they used to share our values in the past but they willingly gave that up so why do bother with intervention & save them? Mind your own business. They want this way of life so stop being so uptight & judgmental. Everyone has the right to choose how they want to live their lives & they carefully select their leaders accordingly. We should focus on our values & fix issues at home. You cannot save people who are so hell bent on destroying themselves.

So because some people said stupid and wrong things to us in 2001, the new president can say stupid and wrong things to someone else today? Golden rule much?
