“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”

WTF?! How many divorces? How many times did he cheat on his wives? How many affairs did he have with hookers? How much swindling of trusting people? How much lying? These are christian values? You need to explain what your take on these 'values' is, because I see nothing remotely 'christian' in his behaviour.

I voted for him in spite of his sins, not because of his sins. Hillary is also a sinner and she supported government enforcement of evil in ways I could not support.
 
You might be the only person alive that missed the Hollywood Access tape.

But I did not miss Bobby Baker's confessions and exposure of the degenerate sex culture among democrats during the Johnson administration that would make the confessions of a Hollywood Madame look like children's PG storybook material. I may be immune to the amount of gutter sex coming out of Hollywood and the crooked DC political world. Have you forgotten about the rapes and coverups of the Clinton white House duo?

Have you overlooked Spartacus Booker's confession to rape of an underage girl?
 
You are making it up as you go along. As determined by the Brexit vote, the majority of Brits want to leave the EU. Theresa May was more or less forced to resign over the fact that she still has not delivered on that vote to follow through.






Sounds like a bad case of TDS on your part. As for healthcare being a big issue for me, I am not bound by it. I dropped out of private healthcare the day piece of **** legislation canceled my policy in 2013. You are now paying for my healthcare at the VA. As for replacing Obamacare, I would like to think that you are versed enough in government to work out that the president cannot on his own pass healthcare legislation. The republicans in congress after promising to repeal and replace Obamacare for seven years, wussed out when they got the chance to follow through. And ofcourse the democrats are not going to help, despite the fact that it was primarily Obamacare that led to them losing control of the House in 2010 as well as the majority of state legislatures, the Senate in 2014, and to a point, the White House in 2016. Personally, I think the repeal of Obamacare started with the repeal of the individual mandate. The bill will die piecemeal, a combination of falling under it's own weight and court actions. As for replacing it with something cheaper, that will happen when both parties approach healthcare the way they should have approached it from the beginning. Obamacare was a product of one party rule, rather then both parties working for a healthcare bill that both sides could have lived with.





Are you truly that shamefully ignorant?

Democrats supported the wall in 2006 when it was a fence | WJLA

"Democrats haven't always had such a hard position on the border wall. Over the past decade, Democrats have supported billions of dollars in funding for physical barriers. In 2006, the Secure Fence Act passed with bipartisan support requiring the construction of physical barriers along 700 miles of the nearly 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border. Sixty-four Democrats voted the measure in the House and 26 in the Senate.
The current Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer voted for it, so did Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. Then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama praised the bill in a floor speech saying it would "certainly do some good" and "help stem some of the tide of illegal immigration in this country."

"I dropped out of private healthcare the day piece of **** legislation canceled my policy in 2013. You are now paying for my healthcare at the VA."

Obamacarefail, you are a shameful example of what an American Patriot should be. I am a veteran as well and you don't make me feel proud of it. If all veterans thought as you do, I would rather be living in one of the sh**hole countries that Trump talks about than living here with him as the President and you as his lackey.

Nice try to defend Trump's behavior by bringing up Booker. Do you read news reports or just rely on rumors you hear? Booker wrote a column for a college newspaper in which he described and condemned his own behavior at 15 years of age when at a teenage party he touched the breast of a drunken classmate. They remained friends. This is hardly a rape, and though not exemplary behavior, my own teenage experiences put it in the range of normal.
 
Let's all stand and sing! :peace

My country 'tis of thee
Sweet land of Liberty
Of thee I sing

Land where my fathers died!
Land of the Pilgrim's pride!
From every mountain side,
Let freedom ring!

In case you'd like the original lyrics:

The words of the (British) National Anthem are as follows:

1. God save our gracious Queen!

Long live our noble Queen!

God save the Queen!

Send her victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us,

God save the Queen.

2. O Lord our God arise,

Scatter her enemies

And make them fall;

Confound their politics,

Frustrate their knavish tricks,

On Thee our hopes we fix,

God save us all! .

Man the OP is well written. Brits have a wit and sophistication with words that you rarely see with Americans.

That is one of the goofiest responses to a post I have ever seen. To be an American Patriot in your mind, I have to favor Obamacare? Why should I have a favorable opinion of a quasi government take over of healthcare? Obamacare canceled my policy, making your little buddy "Hussein" Obama a liar, considering he continuously repeated: "If you like your policy, you can keep your policy....if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." As that unconstitutional individual mandate still existed at the time, the VA was my escape clause. Roughly 8 million American's existing policies were canceled in 2013 when the individual mandate kicked in. If you truly are a veteran, thank you for your service, however you apparently have no clue of what a patriot should be. I was nearly 60 years old when the Obamacare mandates kicked in And I was not about to pay the rates and deductible that would have been required in an Obamacare approved policy, nor was I going to willingly pay 2% of my annual income as a penalty at tax time.

That brings back some memories. When I was really young, we had to sing "God Save the Queen" at school assemblies.

EDIT: Here we go, the Canadian version:

God Save the Queen (standard version)

God save our gracious Queen,1
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen:
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the Queen.

O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall.
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all.

Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen.*

Well, you certainly have made your point and as such we all have to feel for your travails. It so happens that ObamaCare gave insurance to 25 million that did not have any before........but that is not important, only you are.

I feel your pain.

You sure you want to go there?

Something we agree on!

Is sexual misconduct a huge problem among politicians of all sorts in DC? Of course. I have no respect for those who overlook or excuse sexual misconduct of members of their own party while pretending hair-on-fire outrage over the sexual misconduct of those from the opposing party.

Absolutely agree. Now do you ever compare the level of misconduct? Like copping a feel at age 15 vs. grabbing a ***** at age 60?

How should American outrage have been expressed against a president over past sexual sins, whether it was Trump, Clinton or another, like JFK or LBJ? Should all of them have been impeached? Are we Americans not going to stand for past sexual misconduct in public figures?

Citing the Brexit vote of 2016 and pretending the British public is still pro-Brexit just makes you look more foolish than usual. First off, though, it needs to be pointed out just how stupid and incompetent the Tories were on this matter in that they couldn't even figure out a on how to do it without destroying their economy and have pretty much self-destructed and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving clump of morons. Last I heard is they're now hoping the Queen can do something to save their pitiful asses and the odds of that happening are next-to-nil to nil. Now to today's opinion of leaving the EU:
If there was a referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU, how would you vote? (Eurotrack) – What UK Thinks: EU 44% remain; 42% leave.
If there was another referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU, how would you vote? – What UK Thinks: EU 52% remain; 45% leave
In hindsight, do you think Britain was right or wrong to vote to leave the EU? – What UK Thinks: EU 47% wrong to leave; 40% right to leave

In short, if the referendum were re-done today now it would lose.

As to the rightwing pukefunnel Sinclair article about half the Senate Dems and 1/4 of the House Dems voted for a FENCE--not a wall (and even your ****bag still calls it a wall when it's going to be a fence). But thanks for showing that Dems are not soft on immigration support.

Oh, yeah; the snivelling of "bothsiderism" as a way to deflect away from the massive problem and point at a minor one. So very rightwing thus, by definition, cowardly.

You're spot-on about Brexit; it's been a disaster from start to finish-from the lies we were told at the beginning (Johnson's 'you'll have £350 million a week back from the EU'), to the appalling incompetence of the Tory 'leadership' (I use that term advisedly). And now we have the prospect of another bumbling idiot as PM; Boris ****ing Johnson, god help us. Still, Trump loves him and I believe it's reciprocal. All is well with the world...

I do enjoy seeing your pathetic attempt to cover for His ****baggedness by hiding behind this "he can't do it by himself" and the same for the duplicitous and cowardly Republican party, when, in fact, he promised to present a plan and he has no plan and no intention of trying to come up with one. And that goes for the entire ****ablishment of the fetid Republican party which started promising they would repeal and replace Obamacare from the day after it passed and never intended to do any such thing. What is it about being lied to time and time again attracts you to these ****hole people? As for your ideas of "both parties working together" that's just one of those so-oft encountered examples of rightwingers lying to themselves. The Senate is under the boot of a majority leader who will not allow any such debate begin there much less consideration of a bill for health care reform. And I think you know that and that's the way you want it. So don't try your "let's all work together BS" on me.

As for paying for your VA care, I'm glad to do so. I just hope it stops getting worse. You're paying for my Medicare and I couldn't be more pleased with it. So, thanks for that. BTW, both of those health care systems are examples of socialized medicine and we're both happy not to have to depend on the private sector for medical care access.
