    We have had a rash of tornadoes lately. If the skies turn green, don't be alarmed.

    stop deflecting.

    You have been proven objectively wrong. You apply a certain context to a quote where the context is easily verifiable and contradicts your premise and you keep charging on. I don't know if it's proud stubbornness or dimwittedness.

    No, I provided you with the direct quote. And Penny Mordaunt's tweet also provided the quote. You have chosen to ignore this and continue your disproven argument. Which is the same thing Trump is doing.

    Odd Trump and his supporters think this is a winning strategy... it appears that at some level they know its wrong, and are perhaps embarrassed:

    I quoted a guy as saying something he said in response to NewRoxFan. It isn't objectively wrong. Fact.

    "No reason to be alarmed"
    -Mayor Sadiq Khan

    I like how addressing things you post about me is deflecting. That's genius.

    “Londoners will see an increased police presence today and over the course of the next few days. There’s no reason to be alarmed,” he said.

    This is literally all I have to post to show how silly you are being now.

    Doesn't matter who said it, that poster is looking for those kinds of comments and would pretend that they were a big deal no matter who said it. He'd quote a bum on the street if he thought it would help further his narrative.

    Why can't you just admit that you were wrong in defending Trump this one time? Why can't you admit that the quote was taken out of context? Why can't you admit that the Mayor of London didn't say anything to cause this level of backlash?

    Are the conservatives here REALLY this narrow-minded?

    Hmm... don't recall Obama or any previous President being uninvited, especially for some offensive thing they said or wrote, but perhaps you have an example of such?

    While Conservative PM May was rather "diplomatic in her reaction:

    Fellow Conservative Penny Mordaunt also expressed her support of the mayor and implied Trump was honest WRT quote of Mayor ("here's what he actually said")

    Guys, why are we even arguing about Trump? We know he's a moron and that 99.6% of what he says is bullshit, so the best thing is just to ignore anyone trying to defend him.

    Conway's own husband is calling out Trump for his Tweets. Embarrassing.

    Really, some of you Trump supporters should get over your idol worship of Trump and see him for what he is- a lazy, ignorant President. It's like if they admit what is painfully obvious to the majority of Americans, their fragile world will come crumbling down.

    Trump has shown in less than 1/2 a year that he is woefully stupid and incompetent. We've got potentially 3.5 more years of this nonsense. Sad.

    Hmm... don't really understand the point you are trying to make here.

    Yes, Kellyanne Conway is deserving of mockery, from the left and, well, everyone for that matter. But the tweet didn't come from Kellyanne, but instead her husband. Someone Trump thought highly enough to want as Justice Department Civil Division head. So for as much as we know, george Conway could be a very bright guy. In fact, since George Conway turned Trump down, he probably is a very bright guy.

    So when a guy that is probably one of the brighter guys in that Trump sphere says "bad things" (your words) about Trump, seems pretty noteworthy. Then when you add in the fact that he is married to one of Trump's spokespeople, its even more noteworthy. Especially since he was tweeting it just about the same time she was trotted out there to defend Trump on his tweets.

    And he didn't just tweet once... he also tweeted that a WaPo article saying Trump was shooting himself in the foot with his tweets was a "good analysis."



    Lastly, its even more noteworthy when you consider George Conway rarely tweets... the last tweet before these was in December 2015 about football.

    Face it... hard to spin this...

    No, he made very salient points about how foolish Trump is. Pathetic how some on the Right still try to defend their idol.

    Sad.

    Oh, they'll try. The world laughs at Trump. The majority of Americans laugh at Trump. Non-brainwashed conservatives realize what a complete moron he is. But, no, it's not him.... it's the mainstream media..... it's the liberals..... it's the crooked judges..... it's Comey...... it's the Europeans..... it's the Muslims..... it's the (INSERT NAME OF GROUP TRUMP USES TO TRY TO DEFLECT FROM HIS IDIOCY). Really hysterical at this point.
