The world is watching us and they get it. Listen to these Glaswegian's criticisms of Trump. Last one is in favor.

Not to be dismissive, because Edinburgh is certainly my favorite city, but Scotland protest is largely juvenile.

Right? I wonder what the Secret Service were thinking when they saw that come on to the property? So much for protected air space. I noticed they shushed him into the building. When you think about it though, what if the guy had a gun on him? I suppose they would have shot him out of the air after the fact because it sure doesn't look like they were prepared for an air traveler.

Yep. Like I said above, the Scots didn't hold back!

I wonder if anyone has done a meme with Trump based on Fat Bastard?

I haven't seen one. Though if you go to the video link I posted above you can hear him being called a bastard, though If I recall correctly the precise phrase was "that damned bastard".

I have strong personal connections with Scotland, and they are a people whose very abuse is often elegantly creative - as shown in the examples cited.

But the largest demonstration was in London, where even The Scotsman newspaper put the numbers at a quarter of a million.

If I recall correctly one of the slogans there, in a feminist section of the march, was 'My Mum doesn't like you, and she likes everybody'.

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

Another subs fail.

The folks protesting in Athens were Leftists and Communists. And they have a history of protesting against America because of policies and events that transcend Obama, as compared to the Scots taking their issues with policies enacted by the current Administration. But go ahead, test that reality and send Trump down there, then return and report on that outcome.

But seeing as that you’re not too knowledgeable about the history of your own country, I guess that I shouldn’t expect you to understand the history of any others, either.
