+and-then Posted April 23, 2019 #8 Share Posted April 23, 2019 It should be fun to watch the media coverage of the event. Juggling facts, dancing around truths, and my favorite - laughing at totally inappropriate jokes about a world leader. And that's just OUR media I wonder if he'll ask the Queen about MI6 and their role in the investigation into his campaign? Now, THAT would be fun to listen in on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why unload on the UK? seriously, you have to ask? how many links should i post that show how hostile uk gvmnt is to trump? (post 12 is just 1 example) keep in mind i do not care about the man himself but when another country disrespects presidency like that, they deserve no less in return. it seems like the only sane person there is the queen. yes May was first to congratulate, a formality, says really nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A formality? She showed up. She didn't have to do it. It was a sign of respect. Yeah, a lot of Brits don't like Trump. They are not the government. They are not the ones we talk to about war and peace, they don't decide to send troops to aid the US overseas or not. Don't they have troops alongside ours in Syria and Afghanistan?

John Bercow. to refuse invitations to attend the Queen's State Banquet for President Trump when he comes to the UK..... is so pathetic... what kind of immature playground politics are they playing these two men obviously have no place in political High Office when they snub the democratically elected president of the United States like this.... oooo I don't like him..... oooo he said this...... oooo he said that..... seriously Corbyn and Bercow.... grow up, stop embarrassing the country and feeding Trump Derangement Syndrome.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
