God Save the Queen ... From Donald Trump
"[T]here is more at stake here than pomp and circumstance. Mr Trump is a demagogue who represents a threat to peace, democracy and the climate of our planet. As elected leader of the UK’s closest ally, he can’t be ignored. But making him, his wife and four adult children the honoured guests of the Queen risks legitimising his destructive policies, his cronyism and his leanings towards autocracy."

The real cry-babies here are Trump haters like O'Hare. He can't stand success because his own life has been such a failure. So call our successful President a boor, an autocrat, a dictator, whatever makes you feel good in your miserable existence.
ReplyDeleteOur esteemed President will surely help the Queen and the next Prime Minister make England great again, even as he continues to make America great again!
ReplyDeleteThe Trump Presidency is a good tghing. We American love to think of ourselves as the exception to the erule of history. We are better, smarter and more novble than any other people. If you ever question that you are a traitor.
ReplyDeleteTrump puts a mirror up to all the reasons we are no better nor worse than history. We are good and we are bad. Trump exemplifies all that is bad about Amerca and the rest of the world sees it and us for what we are...
He is a stain on our history.
This is not the first time Trump has met the Queen, She actually likes Trump if you check it out. The Uk needs someone like Trump if it is going to survive, and the Queen knows it.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s the over under on Drump taking a quick grab of the royal flower garden?
DeleteAs an senior citizen Democrat and looking at the herd of Democrat candidates, Trump is looking better by the day.
ReplyDeleteTRUMP 2020!!

ReplyDeleteBritains are losing Britain, and claiming peace in our time. Everything old is new again.
ReplyDeleteThe Boor-in-Chief is a public embarrassment to all that is good and decent about this country. He is the embodiment of the Ugly American, a petty and venal man who puts himself first. I am disgusted by him and will support any of the dem nominees over him.
ReplyDeleteDems are baby-killers.
DeleteRepublicans are women killers
DeleteShould Trump run in 2020, i’ll vote for him just to enjoy four more years of whining from his detractors.
ReplyDeleteOf course you will. He has steady support from a portion of the electorate who will support this vulgar monstrosity no matter what he does or how vile he gets.
ReplyDeleteMR TRUMP is a great president he does listen to the politicians or the deep state people or any of the radical left dems he is successful president even with the fake news people and the left wing press and tv people---I will vote for him again because he is the vgerrry best person for the job I hope he continues to aggravate the radical left the deep state and the left wing media
ReplyDelete"You have me on tape saying that? Who cares? Fake News!
ReplyDeleteRight, My Trumpian zomboids?"
Have any of you Trumpsters READ the Mueller report? He is the most corrupt president ever. Time to IMPEACH!
ReplyDeleteI have read the Mueller Report. Nothing but hear-say innuendo.
ReplyDeleteI have watched CNN, MSNBC and Fox. Nothing but innuendo.
After doing the above, AND reading The WSJ, NY Times, Washington Post, Lehigh Valley Live, and The Morning Call: Nothing but innuendo.
After reading the Lehigh Valley Ramblings blog: Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Nothing will deter these formerly rational people. As their love for Hillary and all things liberal sink deeper and deeper into the past,due to the betterment of the USA and ALL Americans who are seeing what a good economy and functioning republican leadership produces; they now need to not banish Trump, but execute him. Removal will not satisfy the left wing. Only the death of /trump and his family will suffice. However, time will prove, and the future looks more and more =that the Republican side will reclaim the leadership and course of The United States.
Instruct your children to abandon all critical faculties and just worship your idol.
DeleteChildren. Emulate our fearless leader.

To the left of the diapered balloon there is a gothic looking structure that will be for housing the sufferers of Trump syndrome. Hoping the left is ready for POTUS to be seated in the Whitehouse until 2024, Keeping America Great.
ReplyDeleteCheck the video - it was make not keep. When was the time America was great in his shriveled cortex - when women couldn’t vote and blacks were slaves? When industrialists were free to poison the rivers and the air?
DeleteThe diapered balloon is your fearless man child leader to whom you owe abject obedience. I’m sure you would fellate him just after he finished off Vladimir.
Trump fired Comey = obstruction
ReplyDeleteTrump told McGahn to fire Mueller = obstruction
Trump asked Russia to hack his opponent
Trump lied about the Trump Tower meeting
Trump lied about his efforts to develop Trump Tower Moscow
The Trump campaign shared information with a Russian spy and oligarchs
The Trump campaign engaged in secret back channel communication with Russian assets
And the list goes on. Not to mention the sdny investigation findings. Anyone who thinks Trump isn't corrupt is delusional or not paying attention.
”I have read the Mueller Report. Nothing but hear-say innuendo”
ReplyDeleteUnless you are the Attorney General, you have not read the report. Much of it is redacted. I have read the interacted portion and it is far from “hear-say” or innuendo. It in fact includes evidence in the form of statements from trump’s own team and documentary evidence.
Now I understand that Trump is a nonstop liar, but that is no justification for your lies. Even when anonymous, you should try to be honest. You are not.
Bone spurs affect rational thinking,, veracity and common sense. Who knew ?
ReplyDeleteGood grief, Bernie. Knock it off! The full Mueller report is available online. It's for sale hard copy on Amazon. It is less than 3% redacted! The redacted parts are Grand Jury testimony . . . illegal to make public.
ReplyDeleteThe totally un-redacted version has been made available in a secure room at the Capital to Congressional leaders. NOT ONE Democrat leader went to view it!
THIS is fact.
That's not at all true. Barr has refused to comply with the Congressional subpoena to release the unredacted report to them. But even the copy available to the public outlines numerous offenses.
DeleteTrump's economy is only good for the corporate elites. He gave tax cuts to the mega rich. Regular Americans are suffering. Farmers are being hurt by his stupid tariffs. He's trying to take health care away from millions. And he's about to get us into a war with Iran against the US' best interests. He's a con artist.
ReplyDeleteContinuing whacking to impeachment porn will make you go blind, grow hairy palms, and guarantee Trump's reelection. It's a difficult impulse to control, especially when reviewing the clown car of sacrificial lambs that is the Democratic field.

Clearly, you are a patriot. Above all else, your maturity stands out!
Replying to O'hare @1:44
ReplyDeleteYes, I DID read this Meuller Report assortment of newspaper stories, TV reports, NYT and Washington Poat report articles. Almost ALL of the second part is innuendo, personal accounts, and click bait directions leading to reasons to implement the "I" word. It is my opinion that the "I" word means Implosion for the democrat party. Don't take my word for this; listen to your 22/ no 23/ 24 posers for the downfall of America. America will sail smoothly till November 10, 2020, then the Democrat party will dissolve into nothingness.
“Good grief, Bernie. Knock it off! The full Mueller report is available online. It's for sale hard copy on Amazon. It is less than 3% redacted! The redacted parts are Grand Jury testimony . . . illegal to make public.“
ReplyDelete- You initially stated incorrectly that the report is available. It is not. There are huge redactions. This is not hearsay or innuendo, and it shows that the people who work for Trump incriminate him. In other words, it is damning. Whether his obstruction of justice or his commands that people lie are impeachable is a waste of tome bc the Senate will block any action the House takes. More important to me is all the self dealing he and his family have done. It is not America first, but Trump first.
I look forward to the day when the chief executive office of this country is finally held by an adult again, and not a petty, mean-spirited egotist.
Mueller is a shitty prosecutor with bad ethics. Look at his record. Shocking. It would be easier to get Trump if those sent to do it weren't so horribly flawed and incompetent. And UK Trumo sentiment runs along US lines. Some love him. Some hate him. Just like here, and exclusive of Ireland, where Brexit and borders are a touchy subject for different reasons.
ReplyDeleteI realize you want to divert attention away from the oaf in the Oval Office, but trying to do so with Mueller only shows you must be an idiot. A registered R, he served his country honorably inVietnam as a Marine. He was awarded a Bronze Star andPurple Heart while baby Trump sought five deferments. As a prosecutor he had an enviable record under numerous Presidents, and was Director of the FBI. He has integrity, a quality missing from “me first” Trump,
ReplyDeleteMueller is one of the most ethical men in the world rn. He's gone out of his way to avoid being seen as biased.
ReplyDeleteDon't like Trump's personality, not my kind of guy, but I love policy platform, his sincere patriotism and what he is doing for America's economy. Democrats need to get over their case of TDS and start figuring out how to beat Trump in 2020. After all, the Democrats GAVE US Trump by running a flawed candidate and ignoring their traditional base, working class, blue collar Americans. All I see now is Trump appealing to the traditional base of Democrat voters and the Democrats veering off even further to the left. I don't honestly even know what the Democrats policy platform is anymore, except "We Hate Trump". I wonder if the Democrats will give us another 4 years of Trump.
ReplyDeleteAre you out of your mind? His policy changes every ten seconds and no one who sought five deferments is a “sincere” patriot. Geez.
ReplyDeleteIf Adolph Hitler somehow reappeared and ran as a Republican, most Republicans would put on their brown uniforms and back him right thru the Republican convention. Not sure if local Jewish folks would support him though.
ReplyDeleteMueller was owned by Whitey Bolger and sued several times for false prosecution. He completely botched the anthrax investigation. He's a dirty cop with a bad record who's cost taxpayers millions in lawsuits. Not exactly a hero.
ReplyDeleteOMG stop parroting hannity and do some research. None of this is true.
DeleteIn response to this obvious disinformation, please read the following:
ReplyDeletehttps://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/383927-federal-judge-rebuffs-claims-by-hannity-limbaugh-of-mueller
By the by, the topic is the oaf who claims he is a patriot, not Mueller
ReplyDeleteThe economy is flooded with low paying jobs. People are taking on more jobs just to survive. If you have a high skill level job you will make more as you always have.
ReplyDeleteThe big attraction of Trump is the fact that the stock market is flying. Of course it would he since has pushed back any and almost all safeguards. Sadly today many of these trumpahoilics don't gave a shot about the nation or their fellow citizens. All they care about is themselves and their portfolio.
A day will come when the chickens come home to roost on greedy policies designed to create wealth for the few on the necks of the many. It is a short term policy that in the new era of instant social media will no longer work no matter how much you try and paint it with patriotism and American flags.
When the bill comes due on his tariffs (republicans did in the early 19th century) and his bailouts to satisfy farmers and others, it will be tremendous. He has
already ratcheted up the National Debt and has no plan to reduce costs other than cutting social security and Medicare. The working class is seeing this and more is on the way. He is a con artist. The banks were ready to foreclose on everything he has until they realized that while he was a shifty businessman he had developed his name into a brand and they let it float for their own gain not his. Get our of the bubble. Your hatred is getting in the way of your reasoning skills.
He is a fraud.
Get over it, the Dems cant beat Trump and they know it.
ReplyDeleteAnd the Lord hardened their heart! I can’t believe how ignorant and full of hate that you sound.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything specific you actually like about Trump, though? Or do you just hate Democrats and/or brown people.
ReplyDeleteThe only things I can think of that conservatives might like are his court appointments of ideologues who regularly issue nonsensical opinions, but those were more Leonard Leo and Mitch McConnell's doing than Trump's. Maybe you also got a slight tax break, but odds are your tax refund was actually smaller this year, and you are probably paying the difference in retaliatory tariffs on foreign goods that you buy (or domestic products with foreign parts). Other than that, he hasn't done much of anything. And how could he? He can barely manage to string a sentence together and doesn't understand his own job description.
My disdain for him has nothing to do with policy, which he changes every ten seconds anyway. It has everything to do with his ugly personality. He is a classic narcissist who puts himself ahead of everyone. The English have his number. If just heard on npr all things considered that his approval rating there is six per cent.
ReplyDeleteTrump is exactly what this country needed he is getting to the politicians and deep state people and us trump people are so happy to see these corrupt self-centered people become so unglued and the Washington deep state people are beside themselves go president Trump 4 more years and get rid of the swamp people
