Donald Trump insults Sadiq Khan as he lands in UK for state visit



This article is by The Guardian.

Before you begin reading bear in mine they conveniently left this part out.


London Mayor Sadiq Khan (a Muslim dog) compared President Donald Trump to the fascists who roiled into Europe in the 20th century in an opinion article published ahead of the U.S. president’s state visit to the United Kingdom that begins today. 



“In years to come, I suspect this state visit will be one we look back on with profound regret and acknowledge that we were on the wrong side of history,” Khan wrote in the article published by The Guardian. 


“Donald Trump is just one of the most egregious examples of a growing global threat,” Khan wrote in the article, which was published online with the headline “It’s un-British to roll out the red carpet for Donald Trump.”


(What he really meant was un-Muslim)



Khan wrote that Trump was part of the global rise of the “far right” that threatened “our hard-won rights and freedoms and the values that have defined our liberal, democratic societies for more than seventy years.”

Trump arrives in the UK...
with the most gorgeous first lady ever.



Donald Trump has arrived in the UK for a delayed state visit and set a combative tone by criticizing the London mayor as his plane landed.

After Air Force One touched down at Stansted, the US president and his wife, Melania, were greeted by the foreign secretary, Jeremy Hunt, one of the contenders in the Conservative leadership race.

Trump was seen chatting with Hunt for a minute and occasionally patting him on the back.

Before landing, Trump described Sadiq Khan as “a stone cold loser” after the London mayor compared him to a 20th-century fascist.

Trump repeated his criticism about Khan to Hunt as they spoke on the tarmac, said the foreign secretary, who told BBC News: “I said to him that we were going to put on a great show for him because America is our closest ally.

“And he mentioned to me some of his very strong views about the mayor of London. What he said to me was consistent with what was in his tweet.”

Hunt added: “I agree with him that it is totally inappropriate for the Labour party to be boycotting this incredibly important visit. This is the president of the United States.”

Khan’s spokesman said “childish insults” should be “beneath the president of the United States”.

Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to take to the streets to demonstrate against the visit. 



Really...in America, we miss him about as much as Polio.


As he waited to greet Trump, Hunt was distinctly muted in his welcome, declining twice to disagree with a description of the US president’s policies as “toxic and dangerous”.

Downtown LA



And their biggest concern is plastic straws and sheltering illegals?

The City of Angels is more like... 

The Megalopolis of Malignant Malfeasance

Cops who patrol Skid Row walk through the feces, urine, and trash. 

The LA Times reporter Steve Lopez called it 'the collapse of a city that's lost control'. It's what happens when you're so open-minded your brain falls out.


The mayor of LA is Eric Garcetti. That's him shaking hands with a black guy.


If the name Garcetti sounds familiar it was his father


who was the head of the District Attorney's office in LA that prosecuted the OJ case. We know how that turned out. Stupidity must be a family trait.
