We are fellating the unholy phallus out of necessity! Nah, it would The Royal Family/state visit is one of the cards the country has to play and it'd still be in our interest to maintain a good relationship with the US even if we were still members of the EU Quote

But so is a President having his term split. Diplomacy means having to do things for the greater good. There is no problem with the invite IMO. If stroking his ego helps the relationship just do it unless we are happy taking minimalistic deal we might get. Despite everything he says the US are our biggest most important ally as a single country. Quote

I suppose it just comes down to how much arse licking you're comfortable with 😁 It's not for me - but I shan't be out protesting. Quote

It is the norm US presidents get a state visit We've offered a second state visit to Trump because he's an enormous egomaniac and it's something of interest to him that we can offer We'd still have to dealswith Trump if we were an EU member and appealing to his vanity is how to deal with him, at least at this stage Starmer's got it right imo Quote

Contrary to the opinions many on here may have of me imho I’m very much “live and let live”, and tolerate most of not all viewpoints/politics etc. I love the USA and have many friends there. I’m not a bedsheet protester (even against the Andersons)……but Trump pushes all my buttons. So, I’ve only even signed 2 political-type petitions in 56 years. This one and the one against his first visit. I’m thinking it might be him then, not me. “He pushes all my buttons” therefore you can bet your life everyone who meets him will thinks he’s a repulsive knob. Imagine being this deluded/precious.

Then he won't get his minerals deal. VZ is no mug neither. Reckon he's just giving tango man a run for his money. Something will be sorted; can't see Trump backing out of something that could help with boosting America's manufacturing. MAGA needs MINERALS. 😁 Quote

London Wanderer Posted April 24, 2025 Posted April 24, 2025 The orange clown's best bud from Brazil isn't doing too well. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy9v1lq1ndgo Be good to see him sentenced for his attempt at a coup before dying in his cell. Though being in ICU, he might not make it. Quote
