Her anti-Semitic remarks about Jews and Israel. The very comments that House Democrats refused to denounce.

And in the meantime, let’s excuse Omar’s insidious comments. Once again, liberals have shown lack of decorum will be tolerated by their side only. Typical.

You'd have to ask a liberal.

Can you bring yourself to condemn Trump's racism?

but I fear his voter base are just plain stupid.

Racism and stupidity go hand in hand. At least the mask has well and truly slipped.

Trump voters can no longer pretend they didn't know what they were voting for. Despite the evidence being on display for several decades.

These 4 leftist congresswomen are a disgrace to the country. They need to be voted out.

What do you mean by "leftist"? What particular policy do you most disagree with?

Johnson and Hunt need to be more vociferous in their condemnation of Trump's racism. They need to show they have spines.

Trump did "sucking up" and praising of the queen...

The only people he's raved about more are his favourite totalitarian despots.

He even thought he would be the first president to be knighted by the queen.

Trump's Tweet,12 Jul 2018

"They're going to make me a knight, which is totally great, such a HUGE honour and you're all going to have to call me Sir President Donald Trump, which is going to be amazing."

"The President added that it was also a “huge honor” for the UK to have such a prestigious and intelligent person accepting a knighthood. “Those guys love me over here, they really do, maybe even more than home,” he enthused."

Amazing to believe a grown man could write stuff like that.

Such is life, he enjoyed it, but doesn’t mean he wants it and even if he doesn’t get it, guess what....life goes on, he’s got fame, money, properties, awesome family, a jet, (with his name on it) chopper, he’s out of office, a few book deals, back to his business, he’s set.

Trump did "sucking up" and praising of the queen when she gave him his state visit and state dinner. She decides the outcome.

Of course, it’s her country, but it has nothing to do with if Trump wants to be knighted or whatever you call it.

Three presidents have been knighted by the queen and all three were republicans. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Ronald Reagan. George H.W. Bush. Someday, when Trump has ended his presidency, he too would like the honour.

You and I don’t know that. But from the looks of it, I doubt he cares, if he did, he would suck up more to the Brits, he hasn’t and won’t, so I doubt it.

Getting an honorary knighthood was very much on Trump's mind

Exactly! As you said, “was.”

Shame what some people have done to the English language.

Many differences between Brit and Am English

Sounds like a foreigner to me

They are.

Yes, the UK electorate will not accept a leader who doesn’t distance himself from Trump’s disgusting trash. 

That they have to work with this President, regardless who’s chosen. I think so.

You are right. Thumbs up

Thanks!

British PM May calls Trump's outburst unacceptable for a multi cultural country.

Ok and?

Going forward the new British PM will need a stronger stance when dealing with Trumpy baby. He's not going to get his knighthood which he has been hoping for.

Uhhh, I don’t think he cares. Otherwise, he would have bent the knee long ago.

Democrats in the U.S. Congress

Here's their platform -

We want to raise your taxes

We prefer people who are illegally here over people who come legally

We prefer both of those groups over anyone native-born

We're unhinged

We're trying to start a war with Russia

Orange Man bad.

I can’t stand Johnson or Hunt, and I’m sickened by the idea of Johnson as PM, but it is a bit encouraging to hear that Conservatives in the UK still feel the need to distance themselves from Trump’s disgusting trash.

I don't think they have any choice.

Yup, sounds about right

Who cares? Trump had every right to say what he said. What those four lunatic congresswomen said was unacceptable. BTW they are all polling way lower than Trump in popularity.

If you could read it, you’d see it was quoting President Babybrains directly. Lol.

Like I said, it’s no biggie. Kudos.

I don't think they have any choice. Trump might be okay in the book of an average geriatric Conservative Party member, but the MPs have also got a possible general election to worry about. The average British voter could just about get behind the idea of a British PM kissing up to a US President that seemed halfway competent or sane, but Donald Trump's another matter.

And the record of that is where?

Trump is on the record telling people that he is a huge whiner. 

To be clear: even Trump thinks Trump is a gigantic whiner

And the record of that is where?

We would be getting somewhere if we coulg get Turtle McConnell and Donny to top being emotional. Immigration raids at the weekend to whip up fear amongst immigrants and ignorance-driven ecstasy amongst Trompophiles that are afraid of their shadows.

Hmmm...I think it’s more relief to finally have the rule of law working properly, I’d be a bit emotional as well.

Liberals as well, except they add more whiny emotion to their arguments

Because Trumpophiles cannot separate their personal opinions from their professional opinions, they think nobody is able to do so.

Look, everyone has an opinion and it’s ok, but it’s only that, their personal opinion.

you simply cannot use that kind of language about sending people back to where they came from," Johnson said.

(not surprising coming from Boris, who was born in the USA and had American citizenship until fairly recently)
