British parliament debates Trump visit
WaPo ^ | 2/20/17 | Karla Adam

For three hours, lawmakers debated whether Britain should rescind its offer of a state dinner to the U.S. president.

The lawmakers don’t have the power to force the government to cancel the dinner, and there was no binding vote. But the event still drew plenty of public attention. During the proceedings, thousands of anti-Trump protesters rallied outside of Parliament. At times, their chants could be heard within the debating chamber.

I can tell you something worse than our president not being welcome there. And that is our president not wanting to go! Losers.

Agreed. He’s not there to visit. He’s there to conquer. Libs are like goblins, you need to step on them.

What a weird headline. Why wasn't the headline "Minority in UK Parliament Fail to Rescind Trump Invitation"

The subheadline could be "Trump Wins Again -- This Time in England!"

Yo chill girl. A little protest and we stop visiting countries? Trump ain’t afraid of no stupid protest. Every country has its bunch of idiots just like we do, and when did that stop the Trump train? In other words, F em’. Trump does what a prez does which is go to other countries and kick their asses.

“Naz Shah, a Labour Party politician, said that Trump’s stance on Muslims was divisive and dangerous and that by “bringing out the crockery, the china, the red carpet, what we are doing is endorsing all those views.”

“As a Muslim in this house, I am not an enemy to Western democracy. I am part of Western democracy,” she said.”

Naz Shah has been guilty of pro palestinian and anti Jewish rhetoric in the past. She is an awful human being with zero credibility

He should scare you Naz. Your times up.

Doesn’t Britain have to rely on bilateral trade agreements with us now that they’re out of the EU?

Other countries don’t know our business... they have to have gotten the sad news that Trump is so awful... from the news media here... obama was an embarrassment.. they forget how bad it was with him in that office!

The power these media fools have is astounding. We need someone who can talk, to explain things every day...
The republicans never were good at explaining or getting on the camera and telling what needed to be told...
We need someone who can do that... to talk to the people.. for all they are hearing is from the media’s left politics.

Spicer is not doing it enough.. though he is on a long time. But he takes questions... we need someone who will give a briefing every day to explain what is going on and what is new.. what has been reported that is wrong and correct every single item. And not let the media take a story and run with it for a few days before anyone is on top of it.. it has legs by then..
What everyone is hearing is from the left.. we have to have someone who will tell what Trump is doing every day that is good... He has accomplished a lot, but it is not being reported to the public.. they are hell bent on impeachment... we have to have someone who can clear the air and let them know there are NO grounds for such.

Today, they were protesting in the streets... and everything they said they were protesting, was a lie. Trump is doing none of those things.

For instance, someone needs to tell them that obamacare was imploding... that insurance companies are leaving obamacare.. that the prices went up.. double and triple.. just before the election and that is another reason the dems lost... they don’t know that.. they don’t have insurance and don’t know that the deductible was too high to count.. that it was falling apart and Trump is trying to save insurance for the people.. not take it away.. they don’t know that!! They are being told the opposite.

Someone get on Fox and talk... just tell what is good... don’t have a dem on there to be ‘fair and balanced’... just tell the public what they don’t know. It would be a hit hour if they did that. For God’s sake, we can’t just sit and do nothing about all the lies and distortions going on in the name of the democratic hope of regaining the power they had .. to destroy us all.

Once the Brits cut loose from the E.U. they are going to wish they had the President Trump for a friend.

Smartalec! ... I figured someone would tell me to chill...
I’m not chillin’.. I want to stop the other side.. they’ve had control long enough! I’m tired of the loud low life having the voice and accusing.. we won.. and it’s still hard to watch the news... it’s still one sided.
when obama was in the office for 8 years, we didn’t act like this... and they can’t begin to feel as bad I did for those 8 years of misery.

Most of them quoted fake news verbatim. This is why fake news is a danger to our country. Foreign leaders believe the lies in print and on the cable networks and make decisions that affect our country based on those lies.

this is the internet age, supplanting the telephone age, supplanting the telegram age. trump is the figurehead and there is no reason to go if there is not some sort of public relations coup— they could just defer until it becomes more apparent to the public who the guys in the white hats are. then they will welcome trump properly and allow him into parliament. going before that point is reached is a waste of time and could be used as propaganda against both trump and may.
