We Proud Ourselves As A Tolerant Nation, So Why Are We So Intolerant Towards The Leader Of Our Friendliest Allies?

[anotheoldgit]

We ridicule him, regarding the colour of his skin, his hair style etc, etc.

We ridicule his wife and family, yet had only praise and admiration for the previous President's wife and family.

We condemn him for speaking the truth about some Mexicans, when he says they are rapists and murderers, while we ourselves are reluctant to condemn some of our Muslims even though they have been proven as murdering terrorists etc.

We also raise petitions so as to get his arranged state visit to this country banned, yet in the past have accepted state visits from some of the world's worse despots.

What kind of message does this give out to, not only the President of the USA, but also the millions of American people who voted him in power, why should they be tolerant to what must seem to them as such a nasty little country as ours?

Yes Talbot ignore the reasons as to why that I gave afterwards - whats that post your alternative facts?

[-Talbot-]

Reasons why



.... You defend your attack and mickey taking of Trump's family anyway you wish, it doesn't make it right.

[anotheoldgit]

I ask this to our Trump haters:

What as this country to gain from making America our enemy or even to a certain extent Russia?

Without both of these two countries we would now be occupied by a power much, more, evil than either of these two countries could ever be.

[Islay]

Talbot why do you feel its OK to rip it out of the liberal left?

[-Talbot-]

Again (you ignored it last time) post what I have said about the liberal left and I will address what you post.

[Islay]

lol like I am going to trawl through all the rubbish you have written to find something. Maybe someone else can be bothered!

[-Talbot-]

Always liked the phrase


Put up or shut up.

[Samjenko]

The fact is, he's going to be President for the next 8 years so you may as well get used to it.
When the prosecutions of the swamp dwellers start, some of you people are going to have egg on your faces and squirm at the people you've supported.

Punch and Judy Politics results in Punch and Judy threads on AB.

Donald J. Trump, jnr. hands his detractors the sticks with which to beat him.
I doubt if many of our American cousins give a rats behind quite what we think of their (comedy) President.

[Islay]

8 years so he's automatically going to win the next term?

"What as this country to gain from making America our enemy "

Erm, state visit this summer? Could go badly I guess :-)
Then there was George W Bush - was none too popular as I recall ("Hail to the Thief" was a popular Radiohead album at the time)
Didn't stop us going to war with him (as in "with")
And Reagan: who can forget those leftie puppeteers Fluck and Law with their "search for the president's brain" sketches.
Ronnie and Maggie were still best buddies.

And anyway, as you say, the people of Britain just love Donald, so what's the problem.

[Tilly2]

No, no, no. It's Donald Duck we love!

[-Talbot-]

I can't make head nor tail of that, ich.

Could you explain in un-PP language?

[-Talbot-]

No, no, no. It's Donald Duck we love!

Mr President you must come quick ... Gaddafi is on the TV

You certainly raise some valid point aog all of which I am in agreement with, but then I like him and his stance to protect America, and I'm not afraid to say so.

[ichkeria]

Sorry, what do you not understand?
This?

Only PP can do PP-ese :-) I'm still at Lesson One

"...If you're watching Konstantin (Chernenko, then Soviet leader) you're the cream in my coffee"

Back in the early eighties that was a joke on Spitting Image ...

[anotheoldgit]

Good for you hereIam, it would seem that there are not too many around, who are still not afraid of possessing an option of our own, and refuse to be led by what is the latest fashion in acceptance.

I remember Chernenko. He was a walking waxwork.
