Trump

[Greatest Cockney Rip Off]

Merkel is the most dangerous person in politics since adolf hitler

Nah, Kim Jong Un has that accolade I think.

[Johnny Byrne's Boots]

The FBI have confirmed they're investigating links between Trump's campaign and Russia, and have also categorically denied they tapped Trump Towers or that they asked GCHQ to tap on their behalf.

[Turns to Stone]

Looking forward to the apology for the unfounded and defamatory comments that Trump and Spicer made about one of their allies.

Is that politics these days. Say what you like and f*** the facts. If you don't like something call it fake news and reference Hilary on her period. Great stuff. Well done, America on electing an 8 year-old.

Yep - Storyville (BBC4 10pm tonight) looks interesting

[Spammy The Vee]

I'm afraid more than half of the Americans who voted, are not in a position to accept Turns to stone's "Well done, America on electing an 8 year-old." That accolade belongs only to the 47% (or whatever it was) that actually voted for him.

Seriously? A) you don't think the USA spies on it's allies? B) you think they will ever apologise for anything?

Remember this is the Country that committed the biggest war crime in human history "war crime - attacking unarmed civilians for military gain" using nuclear weapons to do it, and yet they have never once apologised ....

Don't expect an '8 year old' to admit to anything when none of his predecessors ever have .....

An insult to 8 year olds everywhere.

Seriously ironworks, if you are referring to Hiroshima it saved more lives than those who died.

Germany was close to developing a nuke don't you think they would have bombed London with it and also the Japanese contrivened the Geneva convention how many times

He is but, my wrong is better than your wrong is a very weak argument

[Dan1326]

Where did I say our's was wrong?

I said ours actually saved more lives. Saving more lives is better than saving fewer lives unless what you are saying is Japanese and German lives mean more than US and British lives

My argument is human life is equal therefore saving more lives is the best thing to do

Japan was bombed after Germany had surrendered.

['Appy 'Ammer]

Japan refused to surrender. It wasn't in their nature otherwise they wouldn't of used kamikaze pilots.

It seems another group are using the same tactics and I wonder how long you wait until you send them a message?

[Dan1326]

Japan was bombed after Germany had surrendered.

Obviously

What's your point?

Just to clarify the slow

Whoever developed the atom bomb first would have used it

'Appy 'Ammer has put my second point as clearly as I could

[bristolhammerfc]

Back on topic please

Another point is that the Americans were desperate to end the war with Japan before the Russians could
get fully involved (Stalin did actually declare war on the Japanese and later tried to muscle-in on the
occupation of Japan)

Technically they're still at war as they never signed a peace treaty. There's still a dispute over the Kuril Islands and Russia's control of them, which the Japanese feel should have been given back to them.

The great dealmaker failing miserably on his first real test. The "repeal and replace Obamacare on Day 1" crusade not doing too well. Can't get the votes in the House for a bill that is already DOA in the Senate. Amateur hour as he makes promises to House members who aren't dumb enough to believe that Trump has any hope of getting those provisions through the Senate.

But no problem. It's almost the weekend so he'll be able to take his mind off things with some more golf.

I don't think people give a **** giving the events of the 36 hours.

I wholeheartedly appreciate that sentiment, especially so having lived through 9-11 in my neighborhood, I had not thought that posting on subjects other than attack was out of bounds. Certainly didn't mean to offend anyone by doing so.

I realize that many if not all of the KUMB community that is UK based, may not at this time be interested in the goings on in Washington DC as they relate to U.S. Healthcare right now, but this is a Trump thread. Trump's first major attempt at governing without an executive order has failed. This has nothing to do with Republicans vs. Democrats, he could not get enough Republicans to do what he wanted.
