I've seen it happen already, Pain.

The Other America Stands By The UK

Top Trolling here:

U.S. Embassy London‏*@USAinUK*
It is with a heavy heart I offer my condolences and support to the people of the United Kingdom. America grieves with you. – LLukens 1/3
The response from emergency services, law enforcement & officials in Ldn–as well as ordinary Londoners–has been extraordinary. – LLukens 2/3
I commend the strong leadership of the @MayorofLondon as he leads the city forward after this heinous attack. – LLukens 3/3

and there's also this:

Christopher Meyer‏*@SirSocks* (Former UK Ambassador to US)
World leaders call for unity. Trump tweets the complete opposite.

Let me be diplomatic. Trump makes me puke.

James Fallows‏*@JamesFallows*
From the former UK ambassador to US.
Not standard for diplo-speak.

I'm also seeing tweets about some Trump 'photos'. The story is they are being circulated as they are obviously fake. Why do this? Well to discredit some real ones that might be about to appear. Its also being suggested that this is potentially the reasons for the 'Trump Bot Army'.

I think even the potential of fake photos makes me queasy.

Oh, Roussette, thanks so much for the Covfefe/Let It Be meme. It provided much needed laughter on a day that would otherwise be so somber.

TBF, I've wondered why we don't seem to suffer from the same number of attacks as certain European countries and I have no answer. Certainly our Intel and police are no 'better' than those in other countries. We don't hear of raids and foiled plots that might indicate that we're 'better' at locating/breaking up plotters, at any rate. And I don't think it's because our LEOs are armed, either.

Unless these plotters have a conduit to illegal firearms it's not so simple to get a weapon that's not traceable, which may put them off using them. Lone wolves wouldn't care about a traceable weapon, but people trying to amass them would. The main sources of illegals guns are white supremacists and gangs. I'm not so sure either of those would be so anxious to sell arms to someone who might appear to be a budding jihadist.

I'm sure far more savvy heads than mine are trying to figure this out, too.

That SirSocks tweet made me miss a gulp of tea. Wink

cozietoesie · 04/06/2017 21:12

My 'guess'? 45 is already doing enough/in enough damage for them to watch.

Oh yes, me too. Across reminded me to thank you.

Man, he can dish it out but he sure can't take it!

cozietoesie · 04/06/2017 21:49

Ah well. Myself, I think she made a mistake in doing it.

Lweji · 04/06/2017 22:04

TBF, I've wondered why we don't seem to suffer from the same number of attacks as certain European countries and I have no answer.

I live in a country that has never been attacked. I have no answer either. Just keep my fingers crossed.

cozietoesie · 04/06/2017 22:07

I guess that we also don't know the half of it. (What the security services are preventing day in and day out.)

Lweji · 04/06/2017 22:07

I didn't like the bloody head stunt either.

She did apologise, but sometimes people should think before coming out with such things. Even in relation to Trump.

MicrowaveSpy · 04/06/2017 22:13

Old but interesting Trump-Russia interview.

You know when Trump gets annoyed with fake news and being misrepresented?

I wonder if he gets irony?

originalbiglymavis · 04/06/2017 22:24

Fake? Not fake? Who the hell knows?

cozietoesie · 04/06/2017 22:28

I believe it, actually. He didn't receive praise for an action, so he's changed his stance. Give it two weeks and he'll be the world's biggest proponent of action!

cozietoesie · 04/06/2017 22:29

Muchly bigger than You Know Who of course. Wink

A recent piece from The Atlantic.

What Trump doesn't understand about gun control in Great Britain

originalbiglymavis · 04/06/2017 22:40

I'm sorry but a piece entitled 'what Trump doesn't understand about...' just sounds waaaay too long to read.

This is an excellent idea.

A bot that puts Trump's tweets into presidential statement form, which is what they are—presidential statements.

There's never been a terrorist attack at a Nascar race. Nascar fans are all armed. Draw your own conclusions

There's never been a terrorist attack at Pets at Home in Gloucester. They have automatic doors. Draw your own conclusions.

Roussette · 04/06/2017 23:04

I just don't get what Trump was saying about guns, it didn't make sense, but not much he says does TBH.

He has worked hard at hiding the fact he's been golfing for hours today. No one would confirm or deny but I think the golf clubs gave it away...

From what I'm reading Trump's ratings are going into skyfall, is that right?

cozietoesie · 04/06/2017 23:13

You forget, Roussette. He's limbering up for his match with KJU. (The one where he makes the super tremendous deal.) Grin
