I saw this on cable TV last night. The story said that besides all the protests at every stage of Trump's visit, that permission had been obtained for this gigantic balloon to be flown over the Houses of Parliament. The balloon's creator spoke, saying that he felt it was the best way to reach Trump, who only responded to be being mocked as small. He is depicted here as a crying baby in diapers with a cellphone in his hand.
I am hoping that the demonstrations against him are huge and inescapable. Poor Queen Elizabeth to be obliged to meet him.

Global confidence in US leadership has fallen to a new low, and the country now ranks below China in worldwide approval ratings, according to a new Gallup poll.
The survey of opinion in 134 countries showed a record collapse in approval for the US role in the world, from 48% under Obama to 30% after one year of Donald Trump – the lowest level Gallup has recorded since beginning its global leadership poll over a decade ago.
The result comes after a separate Gallup survey found that Trump reaches the first anniversary of his inauguration with the lowest average approval rating of any elected president in his first year.
While it may be fun, some people think it is ridiculous. The next election will be interesting to say the least. Trump has done quite a job at trolling.HI,
I agree whole heartedly with the sentiment that this man should be mocked. And should be at every turn. He is infantile and the baby pictures him perfectly.

Good for the Brits--
Trump has done quite a job at trolling.
No it isn't but his demeanor is why I wouldn't vote for him. I wish I could be saying President Cruz. But that isn't the case now is it.In your opinion, is that presidential behavior?
Hillary was a moderate Democrat in 2008 but not in 2016. I would have been happier with her rather than Obama. The party was pulling her to the left in the last election. It was about SCOTUS for many people. Too bad about you and your friend because I hate to see people shun friends or acquaintances because of politics.
I meant shunning in general, not pointing to you or him. You do you. That's the way it should be.1) It doesn't matter who you would have been happier with when; Clinton was moderate compared to Sanders and in hindsight it looks like Sanders had a better chance of beating Trump.
2) Interesting that you think I shunned him. I was egging him on in the same friendly manner he was with me. Or maybe you think he shunned me by saying Trump tweets to outrage liberals? Whatever. I see no need to assuage the feelings of Trump supporters or apologizers, whether they be friends, acquaintances or strangers. In fact I feel it's my duty to do the opposite.![]()
Exactly! You, and most conservatives, weren't going to vote for Bernie or Clinton so it really didn't matter how more or less moderate either one was.
Are you coming back to Maine? I would love to meet up! I'm around for most of August, will be gone for last 3 weeks of July. I am just as blunt in real life as online but a lot of people think I'm funny in person. I don't think I'm rude though - c'mon, nothing I've said about Trump isn't the truth!
I don't know if I still have your e-mail, MariaD. If you have missy's or diamondlover's, I know I held onto their e-mail addresses. I used to have-and have somewhere-the e-mail addresses for almost everyone who was anyone in the on-line diamond world. (I also had the real names and addresses for about 100 people since I had sent them cakes when they got to 10,000 postings on Pricescope. OK, maybe not 100, but a lot! But that list is locked up in my Virginia home!) I am mentioning this because I know I will returning to Maine again and again since my best friend in in Rockland/Rockport (depending if you use her PO Box or street address). She and her husband would probably get along well with you, too since they are brilliant, funny, knowledgeable, and leftist. They happen to be very into guns, however. My best friend never was, but her husband grew up in Maine and Canada and served in both the Canadian and US military forces. He got her interested in guns and now she has her own gun, which she had to show me. In fact, the two of them were showing me their Sig Sauers on my last trip! But my friend's DH has a huge collection.
At any rate, can you get me your e-mail? I'd love to stop by and if red would be there at the same time, it would be fantastic! Next time she's here, maybe I can drive up.
Deb![]()
It would be WILD to actually meet you Deb! I have a juno.com email address for you. I'm guessing it's probably extinct. Do you have my first and last name? (I know yours.) I have a gmail.com address that's exactly that: [email protected].
I have no email addresses (or facebook knowledge) of anyone else here!
The liberals canabout Trump but the (D) have nobody who can beat Trump in 2020. OOOPS, I Forgot about M. Waters.![]()

There are many great black women in our history but crazy Waters is not one of them.Don't laugh too hard about the power of black women, Dancing Fire. Remember what they did in Alabama for Doug Jones. They have rallied behind Maxine Waters. They aren't too happy about Nancy Pelosi having suggested she was "uncivilized" when she was addressing the life and death issue of the separation of children from parents at the border. That issue is serious business.
