The Brits are increasingly fed up with Trump's tariffs too.

Data from More in Common UK found that just 43% thinks Washington can be relied on, whilst 15% now view the US as an enemy.

Polling found that 51% of voters want the UK to retaliate, introducing tariffs, only 27% oppose this.

As for chlorinated chicken, 62% of Brits would not want to see the UK agree to allow chlorinated chicken as part of a trade deal with the US.

When people self deport by sea, the procedure usually doesn't entail swimming. Or walking on the water. I'd guess that in most cases boats figure into it.

 

Your use of the deport word makes my case. Thanks.

 

Boats! Yes, very good. And where did they come from?

Donald is certainly not the Great Liberator. He's just a naughty boy, telling porkies.

German vehicle licensing and testing authorities dismissed on Tuesday a recent allegation made by US President Donald Trump that US-made cars have to pass a bowling ball dent test to be sold in the European Union - a test that experts say does not exist.

Trump claimed a bowling ball was dropped from a height of about six metres, with the car passing only if it showed no dent, a requirement, Trump said, for US vehicles to be approved for sale in the European Union.

 A TÜV SÜD spokesman said tests of this kind were in fact used for windscreens to see whether sharp shards were created when windscreens broke on impact.

The fact that the windshield did in fact break was normal and did not constitute a failed test, it added.

In 2018 Trump made a similar claim about Japanese authorities.

A spokeswoman for Trump later claimed he had apparently been joking.

A poor joke, Donald.

German vehicle authorities fact check Trump's bowling ball test claim

So if @bannork's explanation of the process is incorrect, can you please explain how elections to the various EU institutions do actually work. Thanks.

 

Or the democratic accountability of parliamentarians who are also cabinet ministers versus unelected appointees.

Well, the 47th President describing his 16 year old daughter Ivanka:

 

Don’t you think my daughter’s hot? She’s hot, right?

 

Trump: “My daughter is beautiful, Ivanka."

Stern: “By the way, your daughter…”

Trump: “ - she’s beautiful"

Stern: “Can I say this? A piece of ass.”

Trump: “Yeah.”

 

When asked if Ivanka appeared inside Playboy magazine

 

It would be really disappointing — not really — but it would depend on what's inside the magazine..........

I don't think Ivanka would do that, although she does have a very nice figure. I've said if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."

“Isn’t that terrible? How terrible? Is that terrible?

 

Yeah, she's really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren't happily married and, ya know, her father . . .

“Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that prompted Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,” writes Miles Taylor, a former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, in his new book, according to Newsweek.

 

If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her. Isn’t that terrible? How terrible? Is that terrible?”

Mom, Apple Pie, Mom's Applie, and Trump. To criticize any of them is to hate America.

[SingAPorn]

Even europeans hate their own countries for all the crime caused by the migrants being let in, and are angry with their leaders for following the absurd and destructive Biden adminsitration's sanctions against Russian oil that have plumetted spending power 

 

Maybe some US democrat preachers should come once to a western european country and see how people support Trump because they are sick of how their countries are being run, with all the migrants all around causing crime and all the money given to a corrupt regime in Ukraine. That's the reality that of course does not meet the standards and gets often censored.

 

And yes by the way, Obama or Biden were no big friends of Europe either.

Following me around, troll?

I just visited your activity page and see that you have posted about a highway in thailand, something about the thailand dolls, something about the thai govt closing buildings damaged by earthquakes,. And that was only on page 1. I rarely frequent those forums where those topics were posted.. So, if you don't want me to continue to reply to your comments, just clear out of the political sandbox forum and, to a lesser extent, the World News forum. Most likely, you'll never hear from me again.

And as for trolling, as the post of yours I'm replying to shows, you should look closer to home of you want to find a troll.

You mean because I don't want to impose huge tariffs on it?

In addition, your comment shows how little you know of economics. There's a phenomenon in economics called gravity. It's pretty much universal. It notes that the closer countries are to each other the more trade they do with each other.

 

If you don't want the contents of your page looked at, it's easy enough to shut it off to inspections. But unlike you, I felt the need for evidence to support my claims. And the evidence shows that I'm not following you. I'm just following topics I'm interested in. You want me to steer clear of you? Just follow topics like "Thailand Dolls". I can guarantee you won't hear from me.

Has some German guy banged his wife, perhaps? I mean, jealousy was the reason he hated Trudeau so I wouldn't be surprised if that's what's behind his animosity.

No I didn't. I literally made no comment.

 

I responded with quotes and images from various sources, that can be taken out of context, as a response to a claim from a Forum Member that Biden placing his hand on the head of a girl could be seen as inappropriate.

 

In both cases, its about context. Biden is not a paedophile (why are you now using a British spelling??? Ergo, you are not an American, and your whole persona is a construct). The 47th President is not one either, in my view.

 

You called me a paedophile. That is beyond the Pale, and defamatory. You have not apologised nor withdrawn the remark. I want you banned.

Hardly contradictory. Europe supplies its people with healthcare and the U.S. does not. A large part of the Musk/Trump vandalism is focused on depopulating America. Hence the cuts in medical programs and income support. Unfortunately for them, their targets vote.

Healthcare policies / subsidy levels / quality is country by country, EU is not a country.

 

However it is true that many / most EU countries and GB have national healthcare systems which provide quality comprehensive health care at no charge / close to no charge.

 

Same in China, Taiwan, Singapore, *Australia and New Zealand.
