A vaccine safety panel is....  ....unreasonable? 

Not at all.... and, whilst the jury’s not out yet.... two years later has it been demonstrated to be “stupid or a lie”.... two parts to that statement, wot.

I hope this shuts up the crowd that claims "everything Trump says is stupid or a lie". Even a blind squirrel finds a few nuts.....

Mind you.... I was actually thinking about the “stupid” bit of emdogs claim (stupid or a lie) with regards to trumps 2014 tweets about vaccines ..... and the “lie” bit I was directing towards claims that he would set up a vaccine safety panel.

regardless.... my earlier response was in relation to a direct statement... “I hope this shuts up the crowd.... “

my estimation of... “probably not”, still stands

Price of rotten eggs and tomatoes? I must admit I'm not from your country ! Is that how the left in the UK treat your leaders  by embarrassing them,  by throwing objects at invited guest's. 

It harks back to the days of putting criminals in stocks and throwing rotten food at them.... so it’s traditional, and no one likes a bit of tradition, like a good old fashioned Brit.

that said, who of you can complain, when y’all insist on clinging to the tenants of a constitutional document authored over 200 years ago, which has arguably lost a lot of relevance in a modern democracy, even if it’s a flawed democracy.

If that's your opinion then okay. Although the libs here could work on the third grade name calling and try to be a little more circumspect in their posts 

You should be applauding that as a trait that’s being rubbed off of your dear leader

 True we have been struggling for almost 250 years,it's not perfect!Kinda sad to compare the USA to other countries,seeing every has their own identity and so many other variables! 

America voted for change in 2016,change from the previous 50 years of wars ,economics and politics. Kinda like what other countries are trying to do 

I’m not sure that this stroke of international political brinksmanship is going to achieve that goal

American sanctions on Japan caused it to attack.... but lightening couldn’t strike twice, right

I stand by my comment you people from other countries have a different "ethical" approach in your government. The office of the POTUS isn't subjected to CI laws! 

And therein lies the difference between fully democratic countries and the flawed democracy which is the USA

Pretty sure you don't know what you are talking about. But, just in case you do. How many others on this list will be forced to cut ties with the United Kingdom to avoid sanctions from the United States.

 

Below is a list showcasing 15 of United Kingdom’s top trading partners in terms of export sales. That is, these are countries that imported the most UK shipments by dollar value during 2018. Also shown is each import country’s percentage of total UK exports.

 

1. United States: US$64.4 billion (13.3% of total UK exports)
2. Germany: $47 billion (9.7%)
3. Netherlands: $33.3 billion (6.9%)
4. France: $31.8 billion (6.6%)
5. Ireland: $28.3 billion (5.9%)
6. China: $27.5 billion (5.7%)
7. Switzerland: $25.4 billion (5.2%)
8. Belgium: $19.1 billion (4%)
9. Italy: $14.1 billion (2.9%)
10. Spain: $13.9 billion (2.9%)
11. Hong Kong: $10.3 billion (2.1%)
12. United Arab Emirates: $10 billion (2.1%)
13. Turkey: $9.5 billion (2%)
14. Japan: $8.3 billion (1.7%)
15. South Korea: $7.8 billion (1.6%)

Your list does not include commonwealth countries, which might prefer to side with the UK over the US... and whilst these may not be big financially , you should factor in strategic locations, as this might be more important come judgement day

he is now working in a restaurant in Thailand in return for meals and has nowhere to stay for the remaining two weeks of his holiday - forcing him to sleep on the streets and in disused buildings.

Mmm.... obviously a preferable option to approaching his air carrier and altering his ticket to return home now... hope he enjoys the next two weeks with his other holiday making mates.

then also every politician I mean EVERY politician needs to show all returns and PROVE they have not enriched themselves while in govt using their influence.

 

you know like Maxine waters and Pelosi who have enriched themselves greatly while in office

Yes.... all should provide transparency to the electorate to prove that they are serving the electorate, and not themselves... they are installed as public servants, not self servants.

Sitting on the fence of another question no less.

 

I'll use the old gumball example where there is large jar full of gumballs or marbles....

 

 

Theism is the claim that an intervening god exists so in this example it is the claim that there is an even number of gumballs in the jar. Atheism is the rejection of the claim which in this example is not believing the claim of knowledge that there is an even number of gumballs in the jar. Many people, sadly, consider atheism to be a claim itself that there is an odd number of gumballs in the jar. This very simple but often misunderstood piece of logic should be asked of any person due to serve on a jury because it means the person does not understand the difference between 'guilty or not guilty' and 'guilty or innocent' or basic logic for that matter. To state that atheism is a claim or assertion that no god exists is patently foolish and sadly widespread.

 

That’s silly.... but I’m all for applying it to jury duty selection as I would never have to serve

Perfect example of "its ok when we do it", which is pretty much the basis of liberalism, at its core. 

Lol... from the other posts above, it looks like I dragged my lazy butt outta bed way to late to smash this rubbish back into the box

as some posters are want to point out.... everyone knew trump was a dishonest liar before the election, so why expect him to change now... that’s a fair point for Republicans I suppose. Y’all knowingly elected a liar.

what... y’all knowing elected a liar? So.... what the hell are y’all doing believing the trump sponsored attacks on others, when y’all know you knowingly elected a liar?

definitely.... Unaccompanied children could be held for up to 3 days in these makeshift shelters before being relocated to temporary housing.

Big difference... unaccompanied vs being ripped from yo momma.

this spin by trumpy trump was long since explained by authorities, yet you still want to insert it into a thread.... to what end? It does nothing but show that your just not aware of the realities that exist within your own system.

The movie (Sicario) where the Cartel was moving tonnes of drugs through a tunnel must have been fiction then.

If recollection serves, and it may not, but that’s the same movie that inspired trumps lies about finding prayer rugs in the desert?

Do you want me to provide you a list of American citizens that have been killed because of this policy? 

 

Now YOURE argument fails. They shouldn't even have been here. 

Sure.... do that.... but also provide a list of US citizens killed by the prevalent gun policy, or the policy to pursue a fleeing vehicle, or police policy that results in so many collateral deaths, or any other societal policy, as none are fool proof and 100% effective.... and often falling short of worlds best practices.

Crossing the border illegally? Crime. 

 

Filling out a W2/W4? Crime.

 

Identity Theft? Crime. 

 

Deported and come back again? Felon. 

 

The crimes they commit are too numerous to count and not a single citizen would be exempt from the fallout yet its all ok for illegal aliens. 

Good... you’ve stepped back from calling them rapists and murders committing heinous crimes.... and now your into the realm of criminality occupied by trump, and y’all made that man president, with justice guidelines to protect him.... so again, rubbish.
