    I

    I am extremely happy what My President is doing EXTREMELY . Won't go into reasoning it all out with anyone here on this site due to Who knows what News Media has brain washed folks here. From your input alone I can see so many false information. Again not going there. It is my AMERICA my Nation and he was voted into do exactly what he is doing now. The democratic party will continue to pay to send false media information and pay for groups to protest as done before.

      Did Americans actually vote for Trump knowing that he was going to threaten to obliterate Canada as a country, sending in troops if necessary? And to take over Greenland, another sovereign country? Not false news, we have all seen him stating this. No need for any party to disseminate false information. We can get all the information we need to make an accurate judgement every time he makes a statement.

        I dont really see the difference between the EUs inward looking approach from the now US inwards looking approach, its all about protectionism.
        We want to sell to you but we dont want to buy anything from you seems to be the attitude.

        I never saw any benefits from belonging to the EU as we were one of the few countries who put more in than we got out, that doesn't mean we are better off now but it does mean we know who to blame.
        Its been a while now since I've head a politician blame everything on the EU which was the usual get out line, they now have to stand up to their mistakes and no saying, our hands are tied by the EU.

        I've also never seen EU standards as better than the rest of the world, just very restrictive, long gone are the days of food mountains, but how many years was that allowed to go on.

        It always reminds me of the local council committee that never really achieves anything because trying to get all those different countries with different priorities to agree is impossible, but then there are those with louder voices on the committee that always get their way, if they dont they just agree and then ignore.

        The problem with the UK was they never learnt how to ignore.:biggrin:

            Looks like there is plenty of fake news available to Americans.

              You are perfectly free to hold this opinion and express it.
              However I take a diametrically opposite view.

                And a lot of No News @redstar - Fox News, Washington Post etc now owned by Trump accolytes so they're not reporting opposition, unrest, atrocities like deporting legal citizens, detaining tourists whom they don't like the look of, cutting aid to Veterans, Trump playing golf while 4 dead militia are re-patriated instead of honouring them.......

                The EU population is 100million more than the USA, without the UK and no, we don't restrict prayer in homes or religious sites but there are laws about bigotry, sexism, racism, inciting riots..........

                  In the UK and I believe most if not all of the EU abortion is legal.
                  You may or may not agree with this and I have problems with countries that ban it.

                    Malta and Poland have restricted abortion laws. Poland only allows it after a crime or if the woman's life is in danger; Malta only if the woman's life is endabgered by the pregnancy and 3 doctors agree. It is very difficult to get an abortion in Northern Ireland despite it being legal up to 12 weeks.

                        Trump was voted in because there was no one else strong enough to stand against him. In his first term of office a number of his proposals were acceptable. In this term of office his proposals are madness and he seems bent on a possible dictatorship. The rest of the world, let alone the American nation, will not allow this to happen.

                          I’m so glad I learned, as an outside subject, a smattering of spoken Mandarin Chinese fifty-odd years ago at university. It might finally come in handy. Ni hao ma?

                            I havent seen any evidence for paid marchers of a significant size for any ideology, even really in history. finding 1000 people willing to march for something they dont believe on is hard unless you threaten them, or have the army do it. sometimes you get parties bribing their members to march but theyre already members

                            false flag marches are different but those are rare too since if its caught it looks disasterous

                            as with many conspiracies, if you find a low life willing to march for money a reporter could also pay them to provide proof they did so :doh:secrets out! of course, it would be even easier to pay a low life to lie about being paid to march...
