Mistakes were made with the US home security structures but hindsight always suffers from a perspective problem.

Some of the structural issues were addressed afterwards but essentially no security system can guarantee no attacks.....and democratic security systems much less so.

Where a problem exists it's a matter of when not if.....the terrorist (bomber) will always gets through as the saying goes.

The politicians in this country are cowards and have let this country down for generations.

They are more concerned with Tommy Robinson than the b******s on watch lists.

Trump is an isolationist, and will only engage to support immediate US interests.

Countries need to engage and support each other and not just military alliances, for example, with Europe.

It would be interesting to see if there was a 2nd Falklands War which side he would support. Me thinks it would be even more lacklustre than Ronnie.

I think Trump would defo back Britain. The Obama administration said it was "neutral" on the issue but said the UK and Argentina should enter talks (Argentina's position), with Obama also referring to the islands as Malvinas. What about the 'special relationship'?

You pretty much represent the title of this thread.

Trump isn't required to be likeable to be president. Your attitude towards blue collar workers doesn't suggest that you're that likeable either.

As for intelligence, I think you confuse that with education. As for governmental fraud.....evidence please? As that would be impeachable.

Isn't this the News and Politics part of the board?

what did i say about blue collar people? considering i come from an exclusively, and very long, line of blue collar people, it'd be odd for me to not be in alignment with them. which i am.

plenty of impeachable information available. many people who say it isn't there, just don't want to believe it. be patient on the impeachment thing. it's coming.

Impeachment will only happen if the Dems regain both houses, or the mr Cockwomble goes too far even the majority of repubs wont back him.

Dems stand a great chance of gaining the senate this Novemember, but regaining the house is a long shot.

So, i dont see how he is going to get impeached, and even if he did, we would have 2 years of Pence, who truly believes the world is just 10,000 years old.

not the guy who fixes your window. the guy who goes around town hawking crappy windows who you never see again once you write the check to have them installed. a cheap hustler. has nothing to dow ith social class.

he hasn't implemented sanctions against russia. i mean, how much bigger offense do you need? violating emoluments clause daily. obstruction of justice. etc etc.

if you don't WANT to believe it, i could never convince you, which it seems you don't.

like the other poster said, it isn't happening unless dems take over congress. or it gets so aggregious that the republicans realize they're going to get voted out unless they dump him. we're not going to be there in this election cycle. maybe 2020.

mueller could indict him as well. or the state of NY who have open cases.

the US's biggest ally just had a chemical attack from russia and the guy doesn't say a word about it. not an impeachable offense but part of the narrative of not protecting the country, by aligning with a foreign adversary against our most important ally.

Perhaps I should have gone with a more modern Russia V UK.

The silence in the US has been deafening from the administration apart from Tillerson who supported the the UK but has suddenly been sacked.

Perhaps we will be sacrificed for a global alliance against a growing Chinese super power.

I thought it was because Donald is a keen follower of HOL and saw my worries.

I expect Teri applied some pressure or an opportunity; knowing Donald's preferences perhaps a golden shower, but quite a relief with Brexit, current worst economy in the G20, etc.
