    I made no attempts to defend him and I didn't vote for him. Just found the hypocrisy and pointlessness of your post funny so pointed it out.

    You know how it works, if you ever disagree with anything one of our friends on the left have to say in their minds that makes you a Trump loyalist. Many of them truly can't imagine any other scenario where you might disagree with them. It's that kind of simple minded thinking that led to the "deplorables" nonsense that was the largest factor in Hillary losing the election. They still haven't learned from their mistakes and still seek to demonize half the population who disagree with them.

    I really thought they would do some self examination about how they could possibly lose...but instead have decided to double down on anger, divisiveness and bashing of anyone who doesn't automatically follow their world view.

    They still don't get the election isn't and never was about Trump. It was about rejecting their politics.

    What's funny is seeing all the individuals who allege that they didn't vote for him defend him nonsensically. "You see, this is what Trump really meant..." - yeah, we really should just ignore the Trump supporters... but it's too fun not to.

    So I think it is safe to call Trump the Reject President.

    I shoot down your criticism because its usually wrong and distracts from appropriate criticism of Trump. Being against your views does not make me a Trump supporter.

    "I'm appalled and furious...terrorists will deliberately target innocent Londoners...6 people have been killed, more than 40 in hospital...some of them are critical...the threat level remains at severe...attacks across the country are highly likely...terrorists are constantly evolving finding new ways to disrupt us, harm us, attack us...no reason to be alarmed"

    -Mayor Sadiq Khan

    Oh, dear, here we go, beating the election dead horse. Yeah, we get it, Andre Johnson... 4 years from now, we'll continue to hear about our ridicule about Trump is all based on our anger in losing the election vs. what the large, large, large majority of people know to be the truth - our country is being run by an infantile moron.

    Oh, we can very well imagine scenarios in which you disagree with us. Want looser gun laws? I can understand that. Against gay marriage? Meh, kinda think that's a bit silly. More spending on the military? Debatable- but certainly can be debated. Harsher vetting laws? Sure- as long as it's not banning a religion- can't do that, no matter how much some want that. Sick of political correctness? Yep- I'm actually there with you at times- it gets tiring. Climate change? Going with science on this one.

    Donald Trump's Tweets aren't problematic? Uh, yeah, they are. The dumbass is undermining himself. Conway's husband is conservative. That's fine. He's an intelligent conservative- I can get behind that.

    So, really, let's stop this constant reference to the election. It's a weak argument and just makes you all look foolish.

    BTW, half the population didn't vote for Trump. Facts matter. He won the election. But the majority of Americans didn't vote for Trump. Anyway, being that that is so 2016, it doesn't matter.

    Trump is an unmitigated disaster. In his first 6 months. Hilarious.

    You're such a liar. Shame on you. Yes, I sound like a scolding parent- but that's what you get .... shame on you.

    I would hope 4 years from now you'd have learned your lesson and finally stopped repeating the same ones over and over again. The reason people bring up the election is because people like yourself have been constantly triggered ever since then. When you guys finally calm down and start acting more rationally, people will stop mentioning that you've been constantly triggered since then. The same quick to anger, quick to demonize anyone who disagrees with you BS is tired already and you will continue to get called out for it till you stop doing it.

    Disagreeing is one thing, but constantly acting like a scorned lover and lashing out all the time needs to stop.

    Why did you cut those words out of Khan's statement? Because your interest does not fit the facts? WEAK.

    FACTUAL STATEMENT
    “My message to Londoners and visitors to our great city is to be calm and vigilant today. You will see an increased police presence today, including armed officers and uniformed officers. There is no reason to be alarmed by this. We are the safest global city in the world. You saw last night as a consequence of our planning, our preparation, the rehearsals that take place, the swift response from the emergency services tackling the terrorists and also helping the injured.”

    OK, now we have to explain it to some people as if they are children. Explained in a for-instance:

    "I live in London. I know there was a terrorist attack. I am scared. Yet, I can't stay hidden in my house. I have to go to work. I have to go to the bank. I have things I have to do. I go outside. I see an increased police presence in my neighborhood. I think, ****, are there terrorists running around this second in my neighborhood? Well, ****, I may have to scrap plans for today- I can't do it everyday- I have to live my life- but if there are terrorists this second running down my street, I need to hide.

    But wait, the mayor announced that this increased police presence is an extra precaution due to recent events, not because there is a right-now threat. OK, so good. I can't stay inside and hide- I've got **** to do. And I gotta go."

    It's ridiculous that I should have to write out this scenario as if you're elementary school children who have zero idea of context. But there you go.

    I went to see U2 at NRG Stadium... only several days after the Manchester bombing. "There will be added security..." announced the Houston Chronicle...they didn't have to say, "this is because we have received notice of a credible threat..."- I understood it was not that and that it was in response to the Manchester incident. If they added, "Please don't be alarmed... there is no threat... we are doing this as an added precaution..." I wouldn't have said, "Don't be alarmed??? What do they mean, don't be alarmed????" I would've understood exactly what they meant.

    But, we get it... some of you are being purposefully obtuse b/c you can't handle that a Republican President is a complete moron- and the only reason Trump is doing this is b/c he's still pissed that this Mayor called him ignorant regarding Islam back in 2015. As usual, it's all because of a childish grudge Trump has. Same with his climate change stance - his way of getting back at those mean European leaders "laughing at us." No, they weren't laughing at us.

    I watched the video, my quote is perfect. Fact.

    Your quote has been rearranged and edited with no punctuation to show where. Try going to the source next time instead of finding articles pruned for your narrative.

    A. No, I'm usually right.

    B. Fine, you're not a Trump supporter.

    I quote again:

    "I live in London. I know there was a terrorist attack. I am scared. Yet, I can't stay hidden in my house. I have to go to work. I have to go to the bank. I have things I have to do. I go outside. I see an increased police presence in my neighborhood. I think, ****, are there terrorists running around this second in my neighborhood? Well, ****, I may have to scrap plans for today- I can't do it everyday- I have to live my life- but if there are terrorists this second running down my street, I need to hide.

    But wait, the mayor announced that this increased police presence is an extra precaution due to recent events, not because there is a right-now threat. OK, so good. I can't stay inside and hide- I've got **** to do. And I gotta go."

    Oh here's MY link:

    I meant YOUR link. I believe you told a lie in this thread, naughty Remulon. Guess that's . . . not hilarious to you now.

    Lying is wrong.
