Someone needs to tell him that when he says dumb things, it reflects badly on dear ol’ dad.

I read the article Donald Trump Jr. was referencing and London’s Mayor did indeed say … Sadiq Khan has said he believes the threat of terror attacks are “part and parcel of living in a big city” and encouraged Londoners to be vigilant to combat dangers.

The comment starts off the article.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/sadiq-khan-london-mayor-terrorism-attacks-part-and-parcel-major-cities-new-york-bombing-a7322846.html

So it’s kinda weird that the New York Times would twist the narrative against a Trump and it would get quoted here as factual? Now, I cannot say why Donald Trump Jr. decided to point out the irony of the comment to the person who said it but I would guess that he felt that since someone made the comment about the New York incident they should remember what they said before saying anything about their own terrorist incident?

I don’t have the answers, just the original article quoted, to show that the tweet was not some crappy random comment from a Trump relative.

In wake of the London attack today, with people dying and still fighting for their lives in hospital, Donald Trump Jr didn’t send condolences - instead he dragged up an old article to attack London’s Mayor - and even fucked that up by taking The Mayor’s words out of context, or just not understanding them.

Yet you think that tweet from him was not some crappy random comment from a Trump relative?

Really?

In America, we have freedom of speech. None of us have to like what he said and I never claimed to agree with what he said on any level. I am sad to hear about what happened in the U.K. and I am personally glad the sob was shot and killed.

The Russia news just keeps getting worse for Trump.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/22/politics/us-officials-info-suggests-trump-associates-may-have-coordinated-with-russians/

The FBI has information that indicates associates of President Donald Trump communicated with suspected Russian operatives to possibly coordinate the release of information damaging to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, US officials told CNN.

This is partly what FBI Director James Comey was referring to when he made a bombshell announcement Monday before Congress that the FBI is investigating the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, according to one source.

The FBI is now reviewing that information, which includes human intelligence, travel, business and phone records and accounts of in-person meetings, according to those U.S. officials. The information is raising the suspicions of FBI counterintelligence investigators that the coordination may have taken place, though officials cautioned that the information was not conclusive and that the investigation is ongoing.

“Suggest” and “may have” and “not conclusive” are key to that over-sensationalized article.

Yes, and Trump has the right to make a jackass out of himself.

Freedom of speech has nothing to do with it.

You said ‘…to show that the tweet was not some crappy random comment from a Trump relative.’

I said 'In wake of the London attack today, with people dying and still fighting for their lives in hospital, Donald Trump Jr didn’t send condolences - instead he dragged up an old article to attack London’s Mayor - and even fucked that up by taking The Mayor’s words out of context, or just not understanding them.

Would you like to answer the question about whether you think that tweet from him was not some crappy random comment from a Trump relative?

Jason, you and I get along well, and I’m not going to argue platitudes with you. I don’t support what he said, I don’t like what he said, but he has the right to say it. I read the U.K. article and the article does indeed start out the way I posted it. I took nothing out of context but it is obvious that a lot of people feel that Donald Jr. did. Cool, I’m not arguing their right to do so, nor am I arguing about people feeling that way.

Now, if that U.K. article is wrong, they should be printing a retraction, and apologize to London’s Mayor for it. I don’t know either the London Mayor or Donald Jr. so I cannot and will not speak for them. It would have been appropriate for him to offer condolences but I cannot answer why he didn’t nor can I make him do it. As you said, he is responsible for his own words and actions, not me not you nor his Father. I am more concerned about my fellow human beings overseas than I am about what he said.

Those are words taken directly from the article you posted, they aren’t my characterization of anything, and your the one who stated the news keeps getting worse for him. It’s a ratings piece, nothing more. If he’s guilty, he goes, makes no mind to me.

I would prefer Sanders because if Pence moves forward you and other Clinton supporters are going to turn this thread in to a smoldering pile of guano, guaranteed, LOL.

The express use of those terms in the context of that article over-sensationalize it. And I didn’t write the article.

I give up.

Here’s a crappy random comment from a Trump.

Take this however you want, but the problem has been that you’ve been extremely inconsistent in how you use that emoticon, so it’s nearly impossible to tell when you’re just making a silly joke vs. when you’re being bitingly sarcastic.

I know how you feel about not being able to tell when people are making a joke or being bitingly sarcastic. It stinks. What I wasn’t going to do is treat you poorly because of the confusion. That would be unfair of me to do. Thank you for the straight forward discourse. It is appreciated.

😃 (smiling nicely)

I’m an Oklahoma Democrat. I liked Bernie, but I thought his ideas were too “pie-in-the-sky” to actually work. I felt, while Hillary is flawed to some degree, her ideas of what and how to get things done were more realistic.

That being said, I think I’d prefer Pence over Trump any day of the week and twice on Sundays, because at least the man is cool headed and respectable even if I disagree with him.

I pretty much agree with all of this.

Well, you could have just answered that simple question in the first instance instead of what you wrote in between, no?

Don’t feel tetchy about it (‘Now, would you mind stepping off my hands about it? Thank you’) - it’s not you whose first thoughts were seemingly to use an incorrect and out of context shitstain of a twitter comment to attack the London Mayor just after a terrorist attack there.

That Trump Jr what a cnut, eh? and those pricks that defend him for it too.

 

A statement from the Mayor Of London last night on the terrorist attack:-

Jason,

I ask you again (politely and with respect), would you mind stepping off my hands about it? Thank you.

Sanders could have taken Trump had he not been cheated. If Pence ran on his own for President he’d a never made it to the Primaries.
