Is Donald Trump ill? Otherwise what would explain such imbecility?

Has he missed some 💊 on his international flight? Who visits someone and promptly pisses on the doorstep? His comments about Sadiq Khan are beyond disgraceful. Disgusting creature.

Show me a big city where being prepared for terror attacks isn't part and parcel of life?

Its certainly been part and parcel of living in London for more than 40 years.

@bluewavysea
Could you explain why you think Khan is a supporter of Sharia
Law?

Zipee · 06/06/2019 20:06

She won't be able to.

bluewavysea · 06/06/2019 20:10

I thought it was a very defensive response rather than one of outrage. Its what you do when you want to minimise/down play something.

I also think his decision to stop the stop and search was strange. Why would he do that. 🤨

Zipee · 06/06/2019 20:14

Facts dear. Stop and search was cjanged by the Government in acts in 2012 and 14 under Theresa May's watch.

The "part and parcel" comments weren't made after a terror attack btw, and they come from comments he about the threat of terror attacks and being prepared for them.

You are being wilfully disingenuous to try to make your point.

Your prejudices let you down.

MaxNormal · 06/06/2019 20:21

I'm also quite keen to see evidence that Khan supports Sharia law?
Other than just "He's a muslim" obviously.

bluewavysea · 06/06/2019 20:23

Well if he wasn't, as the mayor you'd expect him to speak out against it.

Helmetbymidnight · 06/06/2019 20:23

He supports Sharia law.

wheres your evidence?

thought not.

thick as mince.

Zipee · 06/06/2019 20:26

Utterly laughable.

Btw Trump has far more in common with fundamentalist Islamism than Khan.

NeverEverAnythingEver · 06/06/2019 20:27

"as the mayor you'd expect him to speak out against it."

All mayors? Or just Khan?

NeverEverAnythingEver · 06/06/2019 20:28

I expect he's against a lot of things but don't want to bore us by denouncing them one by one.

I am against a lot of things too but don't want to bore you by denouncing them one by one.

bluewavysea · 06/06/2019 20:28

zippee oh sod off, I'm not prejudiced at all. His race/religion has fuck all to do with it. Why can't he be criticised without that old chestnut. He didn't properly condemn the terrorist attacks and you call ME prejudiced. What a joke.

NeverEverAnythingEver · 06/06/2019 20:30

If you knew that I am of Chinese descent you'd probably expect me to either be a spy for the Chinese government unless I denounce Huawei.

Zipee · 06/06/2019 20:30

You are prejudiced, you have made judgements about someone based on nothing other than their religious background, no justifiable reason.

Your posts are all the evidence needed

bluewavysea · 06/06/2019 20:31

Never ever whoever happened to be the mayor of London at the time, who happened to be Khan. Why would I expect all mayors. 🤔

Zipee · 06/06/2019 20:33

What terrorist attacks did he not condem? Told you before that you are quoting him out of context on the part and parcel quote.

bluewavysea · 06/06/2019 20:39

zippe what a load of bs. So what you're saying is , anyone who isn't white can't be criticised. If you do you're racist or prejudiced or both. How absolutely pathetic and small minded. I've given perfectly good reasons why I don't like him. but you ignore them in your pathetic virtue signalling determination to call racist. Change the record, it's tiresome.

Zipee · 06/06/2019 20:43

Nope what am saying is you have shown yourself to be prejudiced by your pronouncements on Khan.

Your reasons are not perfectly good at all, more a lot of counterfactual supposition.

Its not virtue signalling for me to call you out on this at all, its accurate.

minou123 · 06/06/2019 20:43

He didn't properly condemn the terrorist attacks.. ..

How do you properly condemn a terrorist attack?
I only ask because in his statement after the London Bridge terror attack he said

"This was a deliberate and cowardly attack.....I condemn it in the strongest possible terms"

If this isn't properly condemning a terrorist attack, then I dont know what is Confused

Zipee · 06/06/2019 20:44

Oh and your "what you're saying" point bears no resemblance to my critique of your points.

Strawman fail

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 06/06/2019 20:49

Just turned on for 63 Up and found myself watching Piers Morgan interviewing Trump. It's like watching the Muppet Show. Not as funny.

Lizzie48 · 06/06/2019 20:51

Thank you, Minou123. I was sure Kahn had condemned the attack, I just couldn't quote what he'd said. It's ridiculous anyway, why should his words be more under scrutiny for this than any other mayor's would have been? The Islamist terrorists don't represent mainstream Islam. More Muslims are victims of Islamist terrorists than are non Muslims.

I'm sorry, but this is Islamophobia, there is no other word for it. I think you're looking for reasons to dislike him, bluewavysea. I haven't seen anything to dislike about Kahn. I certainly like him more than his 2 predecessors, Johnson and Livingston.

bluewavysea · 06/06/2019 20:53

Before I read anymore pathetic responses I'm hiding the thread, an absolute waste of time. How can anyone have a decent discussion, it's ridiculous. To be accused of being prejudiced and possibly racist because I don't like or respect someone (which would be exactly the same whoever he was, if he wasn't doing a good job) is pathetic, but it happens all the time on these threads oddly enough. So i'll leave you all to it. How disappointing. perhaps someone else might come along you can vent your self righteous virtue signalling indignation on, but I'm gone.
