Let me be clear there’s nothing wrong with retweeting such a video or videos to get the message out about such barbarity.

Are such things routinely done by Islamic extremists, or not? I presume there is at least a handful of videos out there which actually show such things. If ISIS has never tossed a gay off a building, that's one thing, but if they do it as a matter of routine, that's quite another.

I've never sought out such videos, but I've certainly read reports of such behavior, in both mainstream and alternative media.

I don't hear anyone arguing that Muslim extremists don't throw homosexuals off of buildings. The fact of such behavior seems to be tacitly acknowledged.

Thus, whether a specific video depicting such an act is fake or not isn't particularly compelling. What is compelling is if the behavior is routinely engaged in by religious fanatics...

“Britain furious”

What the Compost meant to say is “Britain’s Swamp furious.”

I bet if they polled British people they would agree with Trump.

Of course I agree with everything you say. And in fact there are plenty of ISIS videos showing much more barbarity than these in question.

But again, IF any of the videos Trump retweeted were fake, or not actually showing what was claimed, than that’s a problem. Why?

Because regardless of the FACT that there IS Muslim barbarity, recorded and not recorded, that occurs countless times a day in the world, regardless of this fact both you and I agree is fact, IF one of the videos he retweeted was not really what was claimed than the leftist apologist scum will (and clearly already have started to) latch on to that ONE (or two) cases and (of course falsely) claim that then “see, all of these videos are fake it’s all racist crap by Trump and Britain First”.

You know it and I certainly know it that’s how the left operates. They look for one tiny mistake to blow up and use to obfuscate the underlying issue that is very real. From any issue to taxes to the military to the threat of Muslim extremism. They look for some way to twist mistakes in getting such messages out and use such mistakes to muddy the waters so the general public who aren’t informed like you or I will lap up like good drones in a hive lapping up honey.

It’s a common tactic (as I said) by the left one easily countered with fact but also avoided with careful planning and fact checking. Not off the cuff late night Tweeting.

Right now, the whole political right in the UK is supporting the Conservatives because they want to make sure Brexit goes through. They don’t want to do anything that would give pro-EU forces an opening. Because of that, the Conservative Party has a lot of leeway to be bad on other issues. Once Brexit is done, the Conservative Party is in big trouble, UKIP and/or other “far right” parties will surge.

Indeed, think you nailed it. Trump is turning out to be an incredibly capable world leader. In reality, he has brought the British destruction into the lime light.

That tweet may forstall a war.

So nobody is questioning the multiple murders of the young men by throwing them off of roofs. A favorite past time usually reserved for gays amongst the Koranimals. Or the other murder victim.

However there is suspicion on one video, let’s ignore the other two?

Guess what, Trump nailed it and the globalists are pissed.

I don't believe that there is any amount of PC Leftist machinations that will harm this President to any degree sufficient enough to depose him—or even negate him politically.

Despite all of the noise from either side, the People aren't going to let the Swamp prevail. The sooner the Swamp accepts that fact, the better, because it could ultimately help avoid a bloody civil war.

The American people—the ones who have opened their eyes, of which there are more and more every day—are perfectly aware of what the Establishment is trying to do to this President, and even those citizens who are apathetic or even somewhat negative on President Trump simply aren't going to cast their lot with the Uniparty Swamp.

The Swamp is going down, and the only question is how much blood and treasure it's going to cost to accomplish the task. These crooks can continue to entertain their fantasies of holding power, and removing this President from office, but it's simply not going to happen, barring some actual crimes committed by the President, of which there is zero evidence at this point.

Indeed, all the evidence which is accumulating overwhelmingly points to breathtaking criminality and corruption on the part of the Swamp, and that's what the American people will see destroyed.

What the Democrats and GOPe desire is totally irrelevant. They can thrash all they want as they are systematically crushed, but their fate is already sealed...

It is going to take a lot less than 100 years. According to the Bible, the globalist win and pick the anti Christ to lead them.

Unfortunately, I predict that’s the way it’s going to play out.

Why would the videos be fake when there are many, many obviously real ones on You Tube?

Heck if you want hours of anger, just view the videos of muslimes attacking and beating women in subway stations in Sweden, while passersby pretend to not notice.

There are many, and they all appear to be filmed by the muslimes themselves, because they like to brag about it.

It’s not like it’s a secret.

Suprising how pro Trump the comments are. At least the first few I read.

You must be right.

In fact they must be a little too much pro-Trump because they are no longer available for viewing.

Here's what I get instead of the comments:

I fear you are correct. It seems these days people want any excuse to stick their heads in the sand about Islam. In the end the Jihadi will stick their heads in the sand for them.

All this crap from May and Parliament just re-enforces my thinking about England.

It’s a shell of the country it used to be, it along with Western Europe is going down the tubes with their policies.

I would strongly consider breaking Diplomatic and economic ties with them and let them go.

I read a post by Brit yesterday. He said Trump’s tweets had made an earth-shaking difference, and everyone was talking about it. He said the Brits finally felt as if they could publicly acknowledged the savagery the Muslims are committing against them. He said the change was everywhere—at work, on the buses, in the shops. Finally people felt they could talk about it. He said Trump’s tweets brought them hope.

Do you have a link for that? I would like to repost it.

I read it in the comments section of The_Donald. I wish I’d bookmarked it but I didn’t. The search function on Reddit is all but useless. I’ll make a brief search for it but the odds are long.

WaPo beating the “hate Trump” drum again. This time they’re presuming to speak for an entire nation. Having repeatedly fallen flat on their faces trying that with the U.S., now they’re trying it with Great Britain.

" I think Trump should fly in on airforce one, drop off the plane’s toilet waste, and then leave.

I know Obama is skinny enough to flush thru AF1's toilet but how do you propose to get Mooochell thru that hole?

Nonetheless, you have a great idea!
